Former Mossad official: Children in Gaza over the age of 4 deserve to be starved
In an interview on Israeli television, former Mossad official Rami Igra said all Palestinians in Gaza over the age of 4 are “involved” and deserve to face Israel’s collective punishment policy of withholding food and humanitarian aid.
How are they unrepairable yourself? Are there not people online selling boards for them? Most of the time all you have to do is replace the power board or image board or one of the others if a TV dies. $100 and you gotta new TV. Is that not a thing for Vizio TVs?
As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.
“It is difficult to picture the rich, hard-nosed advisors of James I being overly concerned about the rights of vagabonds and felons. But this was a period that was especially suspicious of arbitrary acts by the Crown against individuals. There was no law enabling the crown to exile anyone, including the baser convict, into forced labour. According to legal scholars, the Magna Carta itself protected even them. The Privy Councillors therefore dressed up what was to befall the convicts and presented the decree authorising their transportation as an act of royal mercy. The convicts were to be reprieved from death in exchange for accepting transportation. (71)”

Dorothy K. Haynes (1918–1987) was a well-known author of horror fiction. Dr Craig Lamont discusses editing HASTE YE BACK, Haynes’s #memoir of her childhood years in Aberlour Orphanage. An orphanage, in north-east Scotland, during the Great Depression, sounds like the setting for something grim – yet Haynes shows how an orphanage can also be a home, & a happy one too.

Does anyone have sci-fi book suggestions that are more sci-fi utopia and world building?
I have grown up on sci-fi dystopia and I love it but since we're currently living in one I want to read something uplifting. Collection of short stories would be awesome too!
@shom@leapingwoman@bookstodon Yeah I definitely don't want to yuck anyone's yum and HHWGITD is a GREAT book but it's got some tough parts especially for (some) parents and I always try to point it out.
@jessamyn@shom@bookstodon now that I think about it, there were some parts where I wasn't sure I wanted to continue because of that content. I don't remember whether it had a content warning up front, but if not, it could have used one.
ok took me 3 days to test, apologies :D
but unfortunately, no, doesn't work. Even the "old" iso stucks at the exact same position with the exact same behavior :(
