Israel drops the world’s biggest non nuclear bomb on Lebanon. Corporate media is silent.

The United States must hold these war criminals accountable.

Vandaag echt oorlog met MS Word. Alles moet 3 keer. Onderwatermodus aan. Rare bugs. Dingen die blijven verspringen.

Christus te paard wat is dat een waardeloos softwarepakket zeg. Hoe is het mogelijk dat iets dat letterlijk al decennia niet goed functioneert de wereldwijde standaard geworden is? Echt <facepalm.gif>.

Ik snap nu hoe er in Nederland nooit ergens geld voor is. Om bijv. ernstig zieke kinderen of mensen met long COVID op te vangen.

We hebben van dat geld sigaretten gekocht.

Jammer joh. Het is op. 🤦

Israeli forces carried out fresh airstrikes and home demolitions in southern Lebanon on Thursday, despite a framework agreement signed last week between Beirut and Tel Aviv for a phased Israeli withdrawal.

According to Lebanon’s state news agency NNA, an Israeli drone struck near Ghandour Hospital in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in Nabatieh district.

I don't think Americans fully realise that the rest of the world sees them as an unreliable (of even dangerous) partner not just because of their current foreign policy, and also not just because they have elected someone like D.J. Trump as president (again), but mostly because their president engages in criminal behaviour pretty much constantly, but somehow nothing can be done about it. Getting rid of Trump changes nothing in that context.

A country where the law no longer has any real meaning is a very dangerous place that everyone should give a very wide berth. No relationship of any kind is worth the risk.

Schokkend en schandalig!

De Raad van de EU wil nu met een versnelde procedure, chatcontrole voor derde keer in stemming brengen, nadat het al 2 x door het #EP is verworpen.

Ze gokken erop dat ze het er nu wel door kunnen drukken, aangezien een deel van de Europarlementariërs al op vakantie is.

They’re clearly learning from the Israelis.

‘By February 2024, it was reported that "every hospital in Gaza is either damaged, destroyed, or out of service due to lack of fuel." By April, WHO had verified 906 attacks on healthcare in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Lebanon. As of June 2024, according to WHO, Israel has carried out 464 attacks on health care facilities, resulting in the death of 727 health care workers, injury of 933 health care workers, and damaging or destroying 113 ambulances.”’

Who knows, maybe it’s not great to allow Israel to normalise such things. Gives us less of a moral leg to stand on when others do the same thing.

What do you think?

Campagne voeren tegen 'douchebags' die 2 minuutjes 'te lang' douchen?

PFAS zit al tientallen jaren in zo'n beetje iedereen z'n bloed op deze planeet en de producenten (3M, Dupont) weten dat ook al tientallen jaren, dus dit is geen verassing.

"Lured by tax breaks and a culture of gentle persiflage, giants such as Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, OpenAI, TikTok and X all established their European headquarters in Ireland. The EU’s “country of origin” principle determines that the country that hosts a company’s European HQ is the country responsible for regulating it across the EU. This legal quirk has turned the Irish data protectioncommission (DPC) into Europe’s primary watchdog for the tech sector: Ireland pushed to make this happen as council president in 2013.

The effects of this arrangement are staggering. The DPC’s chairperson recently admitted that apart from “amicable resolutions” on trivial issues, Ireland has not completed a single EU inquiry into Google or any of its subsidiaries in the 10 years since the GDPR was enacted. EU-wide protections are paralysed because every other member state must wait for Ireland to act in an EU-wide response.

When the DPC has enforced against big tech firms, it has done so poorly and under duress from other European regulators. It did move with uncharacteristic speed in one instance, against Elon Musk’s Grok AI, but then accepted a settlement that appears to have collapsed. Ireland’s media regulator, Coimisiún na Mean, enjoys a better reputation but has far weaker powers. For a decade now, Ireland has held open the regulatory back door that allows giant US and Chinese companies to operate with impunity across Europe. It has become not only a tax haven, but a haven from regulation.

The economic dependency is stark. Three US firms accounted for almost half of Ireland’s corporate tax revenue in 2024. In 2022, Ireland collected almost five times more corporate tax per person than France or Germany. You may admire a once small, poor and un-industrialised country for having won the race to the bottom and becoming rich. But the consequences have been grim..."

Ik vind het altijd heel verbazingwekkend hoe zo veel landen (met rechtse regeringen, uiteraard) zich op geen enkel moment afvragen waar al die criminaliteit vandaan komt (armoede en uitzichtloosheid, dus) en denken dat ze criminaliteit en geweld met meer geweld en meer onderdrukking kunnen uitroeien.

Alsof je een puberale geweldfantasie op nationaal nivo gaat uitvoeren en dan verwacht daar positieve effecten van te gaan zien. Echt. <double_face_palm.jpeg>
