If we are going to shed tears for the loss of culture, then the loss of Roman era bath houses and early Christian churches in Gaza is quite a bit more concerning to me than this painting.

I fail to see how Israel or Netanyahu has any leverage over the USA to simply not veto a UN resolution that all other Western countries either support or abstain on.

A US vote against (without veto) or an abstention is entirely within his power to do.

Also, sidestepping Congress to deliver military aid to Israel is also not something that can be blamed on anyone else than Biden.

Waiting for SBF to respond to this.

They are probably eating everything they can find, considering they are living under famine. If there is a bag of popcorn in Gaza, they will eat it.

But I agree, this doesn’t look like popcorn to me.

RIP Navalny.

I remember him flying back from Germany to Russia after the poisoning. Watching Ricky & Morty with his wife.

Very brave, but incomprehensibly stupid.

If ever there was a person who had a justified claim to political asylum, it was him.

I presume Blinken means Netanyahu with “he”? Or does he mean himself, Blinken?

Because Netanyahu is a genocidal psychopath who doesn’t feel any remorse for any of the victims of Oct 7th, the hostages or the civilians in Gaza. He just wants ethnically cleansed land.

Blinken, I do believe, will feel guilty for supporting these atrocities.

Heck, one of our longest serving Christian democratic prime Ministers was an ardent supporter of Israel during his time in power, but really felt guilty afterwards.

I, too, feel guilty for having ever been supportive of Israel. It’s just not right.

This is true, but not everything that gets promoted gets popular. A lot also flunks.

Taylor Swift just happens to hit a sweet spot that appeals to a lot of people.

And music has a self-reinforcing spiral. People listen to music from artists that they like, and which their peers like.

So a popular artist could theoretically release an album without any promotion and it would still become popular, just because people will be curious to listen to the new songs from an artist that they already like (of course, record labels will always heavily promote work from their popular artists to make them even more popular).

It’s not necessary for the person to be the sole target.

By comparing the persons DNA to 2 or 3 relatives in a database, it’s quite easy to identify whose DNA you have, or at least narrow it down to a few potentials. (E.g. the DNA is from a male that is a cousin of X by the male line and nephew of Y by the female line).

It really does seem like Trump is mentally preparing himself and his followers for a big loss.

Let’s not forget, this is exactly how we ended segregation in the US and Apartheid in South Africa.

Activism works. Let your voice be heard.

This is also why bad actors fill sites like reddit with bots, to try and control the public narrative.

But bots can’t vote. Bots can’t demonstrate. Bots can’t boycott.

And also kudos to Lemmy and Lemmy mods for keeping this place relatively free from bots.

Excellent. One step in the right direction. Good guy Germany.

Ehh, you might want to read about the origins of the bakers dozen.

Shrinkflation has been a feature of humanity for a long time, probably ever since we started trading goods.

It’s just easier to give less when your buyer would prefer that to paying a higher price.

This is cool enough that all Indo-European languages should start calling salmon Lox again.

With the right strategy and current technology, we should be able to evolve all current Indo-European languages back to a singular language over a thousand years or so. That would unite half the world in language.

A highly noble goal. We could call it, the Lox plan.

Get out of here with your reasonable, scientific explanation!

We want our outrage porn about smoked salmon, dammit!
