Wereldvoedselprogramma vermindert steun aan Gaza vanwege financieringsproblemen

So Trump's new AI chatbot? Creepy. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social saw this on Bluesky and gave the prompt "play minecraft" a test. This is what happened:

Nearly 1.7 million Palestinians are now spending a 2nd or 3rd year in unsafe, makeshift shelters because Israel & the US continue to block mobile homes, or caravans, from entering Gaza, leaving units that have been lined up on the Egyptian side of the border outside the Strip for more than a year...

🚨 At least 21 Palestinians, including 12 children, were killed and 14 others injured after a residential building damaged by Israeli attacks and sheltering displaced families collapsed overnight in Gaza City, the Strip’s Health Ministry told Drop Site.

I’m sure the media will give this as much attention as they gave Biden when he mistakingly referred to Zelenskyy as Putin.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Ferns have a freaky sex life, alternating between two completely separate plants each generation. The one you recognize as a fern - the leafy thing with fronds - is called the 'sporophyte'. But there's another stage in its life cycle you may not have noticed: the 'gametophyte'! (1/n)

The sporophyte's cells are 'diploid': they carry two copies of every chromosome, one from each parent, just like your own cells. On the undersides of its fronds, it produces spores - but using a special kind of cell division that halves the chromosome count, so the spores are 'haploid'. (2/n)

What if post-Trump America is even *worse*? 1/

Meerdere doden in Gaza en Libanon na nieuwe Israëlische luchtaanvallen

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

The average terror suspect arrested in England and Wales is now a white woman in her 50s as a result of the Palestine Action ban Almost 2,800 arrests were made for supporting the group in 6 months - surpassing the number of terror suspects detained in the previous decade inews.co.uk/news/politic...

The secret of comedy? Timing 😂

Nederlanders die met hulpgoederen onderweg waren naar Gaza zijn door Israël in internationale wateren illegaal gekidnapt. Hulp leveren aan Gaza is geen misdaad, maar een humanitaire plicht. De stilte van het kabinet is onacceptabel. Wij roepen het kabinet op: kom in actie voor onze landgenoten!

Het aantal doden door Israëlische aanvallen in Libanon blijft stijgen. Voormalig minister Jan Pronk waarschuwde eerder al voor de escalatie van de Israëlische bezetting in Gaza, op de Westelijke Jordaanoever en in Zuid-Libanon. Hij riep ook andere ministers op om in verzet te komen.

GameStop’s CEO struggles to answer the question of how his company worth $12B can afford to buy eBay for $56B. This is amazing television.

Meanwhile the California grid now boasts the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants worth of batteries -- the total cost of which was, I suspect, less than a single nuclear plant.

I think about this all the time.

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Not so marvelous news. ~95,000 scientists have left the federal government since the Trump regime took over.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s condemnation of the U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran initially made him an outlier in Europe. Now everyone wants in.

Journalist in Gaza suggests no exits allowed out of Gaza for second straight day on Saturday

Israel closed the Rafah crossing on Friday. 5 days since reopening, only 36 Palestinian patients have been allowed to leave. Israel was reportedly promising at least 50/day in the days leading up to the reopening. Some 22,000 Palestinians in Gaza urgently need life saving care abroad.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
