israel, it seems, would not be willing to execute two israelis to kill one member of hamas.

they do seem, however, to be willing to execute 2-5 palestinian civilians to kill one member of hamas.

over five thousand palestinian children have been killed (and at least ten thousand other palestinians) in israeli airstrikes on gaza, in response to a terror attack that killed/captured fewer than 2000 israelis.

going to full scale war is a bad response to a surprise terror attack. it’s a mistake.

Dear devs,

It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡

Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.

(I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)

:boost_love: Please boost for basic education.

@Dianepatterson Most people have ... weird ... conceptions of how quickly or slowly medical treatments have developed over the past century. (Or realize that as recently as 1900, about 20% of infants died before their fifth birthday of infectious diseases we developed vaccines to protect us against.)

re-post: The more I read this, the more I am impressed with this professor's approach to the question, "how should the lives of innocent people be weighed against important military objectives?" I posted it this weekend but just re-read it and am so taken aback by its thoughtfulness. theconversation.com/why-all-ci

I just heard someone say that taco trucks should drive around the neighborhood in the evenings and play music like ice cream trucks. I felt that.

“ceasefire ends” is a funny way of saying “IDF begins new batch of mass murder absent provocation following spree murder of 10k people”.

@thor no the fix to being poor is to start and run a business. then use programming periodically and intermittently to automate much of the business.

@emmreef yes you should definitely vote for biden because palestinians aren’t marginalized people with lives in danger

@timnitGebru lol at thinking the military-industrial complex will divest itself of its military customers. tech isn’t distinct anymore. google and amazon and msft are the raytheon and boeing and lockheed of our time.
