Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

first month — yes haha.

sourcing is still better here than reddit though

Sorry what?

They rate CBS News and weather channel as “middle” and “reliable”.

Ad fontes media are by no means perfect, but they are generally the best in the field. Unlike some of their competitors they don’t rate Reuters and AP as left wing lol.

Obviously reliability and bias are subjective — as is everything in the social sciences. But that doesn’t mean attempting to quanify it is not useful. It’s subjective to quantify democracy for example but the economists democracy index is useful — or the Human development index etc.

Maybe he thinks if the RN share power for the next couple of years, people won’t see them as the outsiders that are against the system, which seems to be driving their voterbase. Basically betting on the fact that all incumbents are unpopular in France, so if he gives the RN some power now, they won’t be able to win the 2027 presidential elections.

mecfs ,

because in america, “far left” is literal moderates and “right-wing” is pretty much facism.

mecfs ,

Until the party of freedom bans it. Hasn’t florida already?

mecfs ,

I’m always disappointed hearing news about Biden. So boring and normal. Where did my emotional rollercoaster of reading the news when Trump was president go?

Dark brandon better beat that facist dumbass come november though.

Gay man says Qatar authorities lured him via dating app, planted drugs and subjected him to unfair trial (www.cbsnews.com)

A British-Mexican man who says he was targeted for being gay and arrested on false drug charges in Qatar has been given a suspended six-month jail sentence, a fine amounting to about $2,700, and a deportation order by a court in the Arab nation, which is a vital U.S. ally in the Middle East, according to his family and Mexican...

Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne (a footballer looking to get a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia) today, on human rights in Saudi Arabia:

“Every country has its good and bad things. Some people will give examples of why you shouldn’t go there, but you can also give them about Belgium or England.

Everyone has less good points. Who knows, maybe they will tell you the flaws of the Western world.”

They just found some commonalities in DNA, doesn’t mean they found how to fix.

Transition from litter box to doing business outdoors

We’ve got one cat 6months and the other 3months old, currently both using the litterbox. However we’re going to move to a new house soon, and eventually try to transition them to getting used to doing their business outdoors instead of the litterbox. Does anyone have any tips or best practices for this transition?...

mecfs ,

Maybe you do, but I don’t personally go on bird, rodent, and reptile murder sprees when I leave my house so I should be okay.

mecfs ,

bingo!

mecfs ,

who hasen’t. wait a sec

mecfs ,

well then bye bye to pro-natenyahu protestors

mecfs ,

If it’s in international waters, is that necessary?

mecfs ,

It’s not just the UK, it’s actually quite common wordwide.

mecfs ,

Nonono, if someone is peacefully protesting a political opinion that is not shared by the government, all measures of silencing are legal /s

mecfs ,

This is why I hate it so much when authors overstate their findings in abstract, which unfortunately is extremely common in medicine.

mecfs ,

Oh my god exactly.

I work on a pretty neglected Neuroimmune illness ME/CFS (hence my username) with really low recovery rates whether treated or untreated (~5%).

And the number of “clinical trials” of things like “Graded Exercise Therapy” or “CBT” or “Acupuncture” or [insert random supplement] that claims to “cure” the condition is so large. Except these trials all rely on subjective outcome measures and none are placebo controlled, oh and ofcourse the results never last in long term followup.

mecfs ,

haha agree, suprised to find so many people knowledgeable about ME and pwME on this page, is there a Lemmy server for it?

Russia is invading a sovereign nation based on invented misinformation and lies. They are committing countless documented war crimes.

If the war is escalated because some countries are non-directly sending personell to help the ukrainian army defend itself, it’s 100% on Russia.

It always had been 100% on Putler.

mecfs ,

Looking at this guys post history, he just spams the same thing on every post related to Israel’s invasion of Palestine. Touch grass mate…

mecfs ,

They are a terrorist organisation fuck them.

But they did agree to a ceasefire with release of hostages, that uhh israel rejected.

mecfs ,

That’s what it’s like here in Switzerland.

You’re allowed to store guns at home but ammo is heavily restricted.

mecfs ,

In the US, especially in this polarised climate, the vast majority of changes to law start with one state, and then another, and then another until slowly it gets adopted around the country.

mecfs ,

I doubt anyone ever thought the Us was unbiased in Israel-Palestine.

One of the first the americans started blaming for 9/11 before it was revealed to be Al-Qaeda was Palestine.

you’ll sound a lot less conspiratorial when you replace “master” with SuperPAC

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange facing pivotal moment in long fight to stay out of US court [ BRIAN MELLEY | May 18, 2024 | Associated Press] (apnews.com)

“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”

mecfs ,

American government being fundamentally evil doesn’t mean Russian government isn’t even more* fundamentally evil (which it is)

mecfs ,

That is an overly simplistic view. Russian government has done good things, It funds healthcare for it’s citizens.

Now don’t get me wrong Russian government is fundamentally evil. But governments are much too complex to only do good or evil things. Every single government has done both many good and evil things.
