Why the British #Medical Association is speaking out on #Gaza
The #union recently passed a series of motions calling for action and accountability amid the destruction of #Palestinian #healthcare services
from #MiddleEastEye Hosnieh Djafari-Marbini - Opinion 9 July 2025 10:42 BST Last update: ~5:45 EDT
"Across the UK and around the world, the tide has turned. From musicians chanting at Glastonbury, to students occupying campuses, to doctors’ unions passing motions of solidarity, public opinion has shifted. People are demanding an end to active participation in genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The votes two weeks ago at the #BritishMedicalAssociation’s annual representative meeting - the largest gathering of doctors in the #UK - are a powerful symbol of that shift.
Il processo di militarizzazione delle scuole italiane è oggi un fenomeno onnicomprensivo che investe istituti di ogni ordine e grado, riducendo la libertà di docenti e studenti e trasformando le radici di un sistema che dovrebbe invece promuovere il …
Hamas accused the U.S. and Israel of waging a campaign of disinformation about ceasefire progress and insists it will not retreat from its “red lines."
if you dig smooth, jazzy guitar work, you should absolutely have the album “Polarity” by Jimmy Bruno and Joe Beck in your collection.
a dozen guitar duets, with Jimmy handling the lead lines while Joe holds down the harmonic fabric and bass notes on his alto guitar that he came up with.
to hear that alto guitar, check out Joe’s only solo track on the album, his cover of “Tenderly” - it’s absolutely entrancing and just such a beautiful approach to six strings.

Das Video zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangslandschaft am Strand. Der Himmel ist in einem Farbspiel aus Pink, Orange und Gelb erstrahlt, während die Wolken in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Rot und Grau leuchten. Der Horizont ist klar und deutlich sichtbar, wo der Himmel in das Meer übergeht. Die Wellen des Meeres sind sanft und ragen leicht an den Strand, während der Sand dunkel und fein ist. Der Strand ist leer, was die Ruhe und Schönheit der Szene unterstreicht. Der Himmel und das Meer sind in harmonischen Farben miteinander verbunden, was eine friedliche und beruhigende Atmosphäre schafft. Der Sonnenuntergang ist ein zentrales Element, das die Szene mit seiner natürlichen Schönheit und Ruhe erfüllt.

As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has tackled the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season.

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction
I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.
An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.
A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.
I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.
The image depicts a character in a dynamic pose, wearing a red cape that billows behind him, suggesting movement. The character has a gray beard and hair, and is dressed in a combination of armor and a flowing garment. The armor includes a metallic gauntlet on the left hand, and the character holds a sword in his right hand, which is sheathed but ready for use. The cape is a rich red color, contrasting with the character's gray hair and beard, and the armor's metallic sheen. The background is plain white, emphasizing the character. The date "2/19/9 2023" is visible in the bottom left corner, likely indicating the creation date of the artwork.

"An evolution of the UCP game is that this panel's surveys are designed to block the embarrassing flood of disagreements and complaints we usually find in the results. This time around, before you take the survey you're shown a video arguing for the government's preferred positions—and then once you get in there, it's all multiple choice and none of the choices let you disagree with the government. Great stuff."
This is an absolute truth. I literally got to the end of the FIRST page of the UCP's survey to ban books from school libraries before I had to quit because I couldn't truthfully answer their multiple-choice question, which had me choose when "children should be allowed access to sexually-explicit material", which they had already determined to be queer perspectives which had nothing to do with sex, nevermind "explicit sexual content".
I noted in my long answer that we already have laws against access of pornography to minors, and if there was actual "explicit sexual content" it would already be illegal to place in a school library. But the long answer wouldn't be seen by anyone, only their loaded multiple-choice results.

The image is a formal letter from the Congress of the United States, dated July 7, 2025, addressed to The Honorable Kirsten Hillman, Ambassador of Canada. The letterhead is in blue text, stating "Congress of the United States, Washington, DC 20515." The letter is signed by Tom Tiffany and Brad Finstad, both identified as Members of Congress.
The letter begins with a salutation to Ambassador Hillman and addresses constituents who have been affected by Canadian wildfire smoke. It discusses the issue of Canadian wildfires, noting that 2023 was the worst year for wildfires on record, and last year's fire season was considered one of the worst. The letter mentions that a lack of active forest management and arson are key drivers of the issue.
The letter highlights the impact of the smoke on outdoor activities and the health of constituents, emphasizing the need for action. It urges the Canadian government, specifically Natural Resources Canada and the Canadian Forest Service, to take steps to mitigate the issue. The letter concludes with a request for a response and thanks Ambassador Hillman for her time and consideration.

“In an article for the Sun, Berry said he was leaving the Conservative party after 25 years as a member and 14 as an MP. He said his former party shared responsibility with Labour for the state of the UK.”
So, having helped to fuck everything up as a Tory MP for 14 years, he wants to try to fuck everything up even more as a Reform MP.

The video features a small black kitten with striking blue eyes, sitting on a light-colored bedspread. The kitten is positioned in the center of the frame, facing the camera, and appears to be looking directly at it. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, providing a simple and unobtrusive backdrop. The kitten's fur is sleek and shiny, and its ears are perked up, indicating alertness. The lighting in the room is soft and warm, creating a cozy atmosphere. Throughout the video, the kitten remains mostly stationary, with slight movements of its head and eyes, suggesting curiosity or attentiveness. The camera remains steady, focusing on the kitten, capturing its expressions and subtle movements. Towards the end of the video, the kitten moves out of the frame, and the camera captures a brief, blurry image of what appears to be a fried egg, adding an unexpected and humorous element to the scene.

Oh, I just remembered, I need to fire up my travel network rig and update the firmware and software. Also, I ran the battery for about 5 hours last night while at the Selectboard meeting, so it needs to be recharged. That took me down to 63% capacity, which is not bad.
Still, if I were making this again, instead of one 25 Ah powerbank, I'd use two smaller ones, since this one powerbank cannot power the two devices and be charged at the same time.
Oh, i am so mad right now. I did the firmware upgrade, and I think it wiped the configuration of my router. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get back into my router after the upgrade, and when I checked my WiFi settings on my iPad, it had the wrong IP address from the DHCP server in the router. I'm rebooting it again to see what happens.
YEP. Wrong address again. That means the router config was completely wiped. Fortunately, it wasn't a very complex config, so it will only take a minute to fix, but I shouldn't have to. Thanks, tp-link.
Strangely, the WIFI SSID and passkey settings were retained, but the IP settings were reverted to the factory default.
