Edit: they are thankfully still alive. They’re injured from the strike.
Both of my parents were in the Red Cross during the 75-90 civil war and have both said it wasn’t as bad, that they could still cross Israeli lines to help ppl at the time. Israel now just targets first responders as a matter of policy. This is a rogue, criminal regime.
The plot thickens...

While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :
In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.
I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.
Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.
Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

On October 3rd in 1990, Germany became one, and became a truly democratic country. 🗳️
We are reminded that we can't take the freedoms we currently enjoy for granted, including privacy & the freedom of speech.

Let 6 minutes of James Meadway’s Macrodose (from 1:30 minutes to 7:30) eloquently walk you through:
“Our wildly complex industrial capitalist economy, developed over the last 200 years, and refined – as in the semiconductor supply chain – into systems of exceptional complexity, was built for times of environmental stability and abundant resources. Those times are now coming to an end.“
"Bier’s first hit app, TBH, was marketed to teenagers and...it 'requested address book access before actually being able to use the app'. [...] Bier’s reputation for success is built on this growth hacking technique, so I understand why he is upset."
[...]
"Apple’s solution is imperfect. But if it stops the Biers of the world from building apps which ingest wholesale the contact lists of teenagers, I find it difficult to object."

IMO Apple's policy would have been exactly the right one, but only if it had been policy from the start.
As it stands, Apple basically took away contacts access for new apps while leaving existing apps unaffected. This is good in the short term and bad in the long term. Existing apps can make any changes they like (including changes to their privacy policies!) and it's going to be a lot harder to switch.

in reply to Merry Christmas • • •My family drove to vote for Brexit down a Welsh road paid-for by the EU, and they still thought their 98% white british population was being overrun by forreigners. You just can't fix stupid.
If they'd had a reasonable case, even if I disagreed with it, i could've gotten behind them. But they didn't, and doing things just because you're told bothers me more than most things.

Brexit.
Many of my Brothers and Sister and their partners voted Brexit because of immigrants, given one of my Sisters who voted because of immigrants has a Greek daughter in Law and 3 half Greek Grandchildren and a half Polish Grand child all living in the UK than and now, all I can say is you can't fix racists.
It broke my heart and we are still not talking.
