TIL that tonight shortly after midnight in my local time zone, we're rolling over unix time 1700000000!

John Oliver covers the Israel-Hamas war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ9PKQbkJv8

@bwh It's funny you should ask because this thought popped into my head just as I was about to fall asleep last night and then I was up for another hour. I'll gather some information and report back!

I'm considering creating my app GUI in Godot instead of GTK or Qt. Any thoughts?

Really thankful for the neutral, balanced, and high quality new service that Democracy Now! provides. Everyone should be subscribed to them and support them.

New Beatles song debuts today, sounds like something I might even like based on the promo for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APJAQoSCwuA

It's bad enough that someone would bomb a refugee camp killing 100s of civilians, but that so many people all over the world gleefully support that, makes it so much worse.

@winicons Yay, glad we finally have this on the fediverse!

This is the most comprehensive review of the Raspberry Pi 5 that I've seen so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBtOEmUqASQ

Really just being angry about the state of the world right now. My tolerance for people who have no compassion for people who are different than themselves is rapidly diminishing to nothing.

I really like people who have the courage to say it how it is. https://youtu.be/HJcGTjAFGjk?si=Hrk_Zx_5Iv1b1LBv&t=267

@LALegault Democracy Now and Aljazeera (while both not being perfect either) has much better journalism and in-depth news coverage than CNN (who also has way too many ads and repeats content way too often)

@LALegault Since the John Malone buyover, CNN has become so deluted that I can't consider it any form of journalism anymore. Every interviewer just gives a platform for whoever they talk to to steer the conversation and say whatever they want. So there's no critical questions, lots of softball questions, very little content and low signal to noise.

@bloor you're married to your wife!? No wonder Netflix is suspicious!

Watching a press conference from the Israeli president, he's even more overt than Putin about his hatred for fellow human beings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om3KRrL_6vM

Maybe at one point I would've considered a possibility of going to Israel in the future, but right now there's a zero chance of that. The people who unconditionally support Israel are in the same league as people who supported Apartheid in South Africa, a MAGA American or other types of trash people.

I want nothing to do with them and they're not my friend. If someone can't manage to maintain a very minimum baseline of humanity, then they can go fuck off for all that I'm concerned.

Last year they escalated further and went after journalists. Even destroying a major media building (fortunately no one was in there at the time) and killing journalists. Today they are taking down telecoms, and preventing food and medicine from entering the region.

I condemn the terrorist attacks from Hamas. I also condemn the senseless, relentless violence that Israel has inflicted upon millions of innocent people, and continue to do.

Around 2021, I would've considered going to Israel in the future if Netanyahu was ousted in the elections, and the extremist right-wing members of his government would go out with him and if there was a glimmer of hope of peace with Palestine. Instead, he's still there, and they continued ruthlessly murdering Palestinian civilians and confined them to Gaza, the biggest open-air prison in the world.

@rotfarm What happens as you get older, is that your circle of what's considered "normal" just keeps expanding, and then all the friends that you added because you like their freak flags will gradually just look more and more normal. But if that starts freaking you out, it's time to make more friends again.
