Gmail's New 'Manage Subscriptions' Tool Will Help Declutter Your Inbox - Slashdot

The image features a gray background with white and black text arranged in a centered, vertical format. The text is divided into four distinct statements, each highlighting a common misconception about different concepts. The statements are:
- "Hearsay is not Proof."
- "Feelings are not Evidence."
- "Anecdotes are not Data."
- "A Hypothesis is not a Theory."
The words "Proof," "Evidence," "Data," and "Theory" are emphasized in black, contrasting with the white text of the rest of the statements. The text is in a casual, handwritten-style font, giving it a friendly yet informative appearance. At the bottom right corner, there is a small text that reads "(Scientific)" in parentheses, followed by "The Godless & Irreligious/fb," indicating the source of the image.

The image features a bold, black and yellow graphic with a call to action. At the top, it states, "WE SHOULD REMOVE THE LIFETIME MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR CONGRESS AS LONG AS THEY ARE CUTTING MEDICAL CARE FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS." The text is in large, white and yellow font, with "REMOVE" and "THEY ARE" highlighted in yellow for emphasis. Below, a photo of a man with white hair and glasses is partially visible. The bottom section reads, "HIT THE 👍 IF CONGRESS SHOULD LOSE THEIR PERKS BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR CARE!" with "HIT THE 👍" in black and yellow, and the rest in white. The image includes the logos of "OCCUPY DEMOCRATS" and "POPTIVISM" along with social media icons. The overall design is meant to convey a political message about healthcare benefits for Congress.

Israel confiscates supplies from doctors visiting Gaza When volunteer doctors try to visit Gaza, Israel confiscates items such as baby food and surgical equipment.

Israel limits entry of baby formula in Gaza as infants die of hunger

Initially I felt that, after what Hamas had done, the targeted torture against women, the hostage taking, the murders, Israel had a right to revenge. How much revenge? Not sure, since I'm not the one suffering, but some.
Now, watching how easily justified fury turns into ethnic cleansing to grab land, I'm starting to think vigilante "justice" is always worse than useless. Between nations as much as between individuals. There's never any way to stop it from morphing into yet another monster.
This is getting way beyond war crimes. The cold calculated premeditation of it puts it in some other class.

The image depicts a group of astronauts in a barren, grassy landscape under a clear sky. The foreground features a prominent astronaut in a green spacesuit with a large, reflective orange visor, carrying a gun in their right hand. The astronaut's suit is equipped with a backpack and various pouches, and they are walking towards the viewer. In the background, a fleet of astronauts, similarly dressed, follows in a line, also carrying guns. A futuristic spacecraft with a white and orange color scheme hovers in the sky, emitting a trail of smoke. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and a vast expanse of grass, with a soft, warm color palette. The scene suggests a science fiction setting, possibly on another planet or a distant world.
