I can give input. I will try to be civil but bear in mind I have the same strong emotions you expressed on the podcast, & feel Gaslit Nation, President Biden, and most Democrats - (yeah I'm not even considering Republicans, they'll have a terrible take) are gaslighting Palestinians. #FreePalestine#podcast
US Rep Rashida Tlaib is about the only one who made a decent statement in the US.
She even uses "cycle of violence" and STILL doesn't f*ck it up like everyone else.
Grieving lives lost. Necessary. Emphasizing shared humanity. Check. Occupation and apartheid are to blame. Facts. And it offers hope or gives actions to take to fix it - 1. End US aid for apartheid government (i would argue defund the Pentagon and US war machine too...) 2. End the occupation and dismantle apartheid system.
There's also a Palestinian contemporary art group on Facebook - look for the Palestinian artists, writers, intellectuals. Find out what's going on before going on and on about support for an occupier.
The book is a nonfiction work that addresses the dysfunction of the student lending system. It draws on the author's personal experience and work as a blogger and uses a range of online articles as source material to support its arguments. The book is grounded in reality but is also polemical in nature, advocating for the restoration of student bankruptcy rights. Overall, this book sheds light on an important issue and offers a compelling case for change.

The book provides a historical perspective of the 1.2 million African American service members' experiences on the unit and personal level serving in a segregated U.S. military and for an American society that denied them equal opportunity and basic civil rights. African Americans served in every military branch (Army, Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marine Corps). Besides serving in segregated units, they were assigned menial tasks, provided inferior training and resources, denied opportunities to serve in combat units, and faced racism despite fighting for liberty, justice, and freedom abroad while being denied those platitudes at home. Basically, they battled for liberty and freedom on two fronts. home and abroad.
I wanted to tell a story of service and experience that has not been ignored by American history books, news media, and the entertainment industry. I wanted to tell the story of African Americans fighting on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, on the islands of the Pacific against imperial Japan, and during the desperate days of the Battle of the Bulge. And, how they also had to face and battle the hypocrisy, racist beliefs, and attitudes of a military that operated segregated combat and support forces to deliver on FDR's four freedoms.
When we hear about the rise of neurodivergent people, children, teens and young adults, we should realize that from the 1940-1990’s we saw an uptake in the use of pesticides, insecticides, tetra ethyl lead in gasoline, tobacco use, and questionable medications that we didn’t fully understand.
Sometimes effects to human health take decades and generations before they fully manifest.
@HopelessDemigod Lead in gasoline started in the 1920s and was phased out in the 1970s. If you are concerned with how different social factors may be affecting @actuallyautistic and other neurodivergent people you need to actually listen to them when they tell you what's happening to them.
Baldur's Gate 3 IS a unicorn. No other studio could make it.
Anyone asking why other studios doesn't make games like this misses THE key point: Larian is privately owned. They don't have a publisher like say EA that deliberately sabotage the development process for profit.
@WhyNotZoidberg What really grinds me is, that all this corporate meddling doesn't even guarantee that a game will be profitable at all. It's all glorified guessing, done by people who don't actually care about the medium they are making decisions about.
And every time one of their soulless amalgamations of mindless trend chasing fails gloriously, they fail to learn any lesson from it, it's frustrating.
Ich finde es toll, wie viele Literaturmenschen im #Fediverse unterwegs sind. #neuhier ist zum Beispiel die Philologin @AndreaStrobl. Vielleicht wollt ihr ihr folgen?
@Sascha_Raubal Super. Danke für diese Liste, die weiterhelfen dürfte. Habe sie zur eigenen Verwendung in Friendica in meinem info-Ordner gespeichert. Noch den Verweis auf literatur.social dazu, dann müsste man sich ja eigentlich finden können …

I've been trying to solve a problem with my arch (endeavour) instalation and wanted to know if anyone here can help
Everything is working well, excepting the WiFi connection. It is extremely slow, sometimes disconnecting from the network, and in the task bar, the WiFi icon shows that the signal strength is weak, although the router is in the same room. Switching between r8168 and r8169 as recommended doesnt work. Any ideas?
@Rustmilian@linux Yeah, it's close to impossible to find documentation on what to do here. I'm trying to find out how is it that Fedora works well with the same hardware, and even considering changing the card itself, but for the moment at least my connection is much more stable after setting the iwlwifi.conf file
Once again, thank you for your help!
Ich habe das Gefühl, hier einiges zu verpassen und möchte einfach gerne (wieder) eine Timeline, die mit klugen, spannenden und interessanten Beiträgen gefüllt ist. Themen sind #Geschichte#Museum#Archiv#Erinnerungskultur#PublicHistory

Ich folge bereits @dorotheegoetze / @LenaOetzel / @dbellingradt usw. aber verstehe die Discovery hier immer noch nicht ganz und bin über eure Tipps sehr froh!

#Numismatic show and tell for a lesser known Ptolemaic god, Harpokrates, a Hellenic interpretation of the Egyptian god of the newborn sun, Horus, as a child. Usually depicted with finger pressed to his lips and often with roses, he also later became associated with secrets and silence, leading to the concept of 'sub rosa'. Here shown on the reverse of a rare bronze obol struck in 137 to 138 CE under Hadrian, in Alexandria, Egypt, wearing a pharaonic hemhem crown #AncientCoins#Egypt#Mythology
@taoish@medievodon@histodons I'm afraid it would be a one-sided process as I have no notes to share. I am aware of it, but that's all. I'd be very interested in reading more tho'. After I cracked that joke about Harpo, I found out that apparently there was a running joke that he was named after Harpocrates, as the mute member of the trio. It wasn't actually true, apparently. He was named for the harp he played
It goes without saying that what Hamas did was morally abhorrent, but every time you see a tower block in Gaza being destroyed by an Israeli missile on the news you are watching children being killed, injured, or made orphans. 😡
@Melinda@john1954moi I read a book in the late 70s.I have never been able to find it again. I believe it was written in the 40s. called something like "Night Music" and I think it was written by Lily Palmer?
Anyhow the story took place in Serbia? A young reporter comes on the job. He can't understand why they keep fighting this endless war. He ends up staying with a woman and her child. He becomes emotionally entangled and eventually realizes that they are also involved in fighting. 1/2
