There is a very simple solution to the #adblocker war that large #media platforms are having:
Most people lately have been turning to AdBlock features since the ads have become so cringe, and so scummy.
Most of them are #aislop selling you nonsense or straight up scamming you.
Just make the ads actually bearable and a lot more people would deal with them.
I'd argue modern ads on #streaming are worse than old TV since at least TV ads had some effort and creativity.

The image depicts a dense forest canopy viewed from below. The scene is filled with numerous trees, their trunks rising vertically and their branches spreading outwards, creating a lush green canopy. The leaves are a vibrant green, with some areas appearing brighter due to sunlight filtering through. The sunlight creates a dappled effect, with patches of light and shadow visible on the leaves and branches. The sky is visible through the gaps in the canopy, with a bright white light suggesting a clear day. The overall impression is of a thriving, healthy forest ecosystem.

Someone just tried to argue with me that aid groups on the ground in Gaza are not helping because they won’t say the word “genocide.”
Even though they’re providing food, water, medical care and other supplies.
Some people need to log off threads and go volunteer for those orgs and see if what they’re doing is counter productive by providing a way to keep Palestinians alive.

The image shows an aerial view from an airplane window, featuring a wing extending into the frame from the top right corner. Below the wing, a large island is visible, with a coastline that curves gently along the water's edge. The island's landmass is a patchwork of different shades, indicating various types of terrain, including fields and possibly forests. The surrounding water is a deep blue, with lighter, turquoise areas near the shore, suggesting shallow waters or sandbanks. The sky is mostly clear with a few scattered clouds, and the overall scene is bright and sunny.

The coastline is visible in the upper part of the image, with the sea appearing as a vast expanse of blue. The land is divided into irregular shapes, with roads and paths connecting the fields and the town. The overall scene is a mix of natural and human-made elements, with the town nestled within the agricultural landscape.

Nie wiem, jako „lejek” cieszę się, jak w rodzaj utrafię. Tego akurat sam kiedyś szukałem. Oczywiście, można podejść do sprawy bardziej metodycznie:
Noc majowa zakochanego przyrodnika
Słodkie kląskania i trele
Słowik w gałązkach wyczynia
(Erithacus philomele,
Zwany też Aedon luscinia)
Jakaż to trawka majowa
Do twej sukienki przylgnęła?
To kurza noga krajowa

O, jak swawolny wiew igra
Koroneczkami twych falban!
Bez pachnie (Sambucus nigra)
Spójrz - brzoza (Betula alba)
Do różowiutkich twych uszek
Ćwierk jakiś dobiegł niezwykły...
To ptak - świstunka piecuszek,
(Phylloscopus trochilus) zwykły.
Błagania moje wynagródź,
Kocham cię wzniośle i szczytnie!
Daj mi twe usta, a paproć
(Aspidium filix) zakwitnie.
Nie dziw się, że drżę jak młokos,
i płonę w namiętnym szale!
Spójrz, luba, oto żywokost
(Symphytum officinale)!
Libido czuje do ciebie,
Ożenię się, chcę mieć dzieci!...
Oto Bliźnięta na niebie...

The image is a screenshot of a news article from a Greek website. The headline reads "Ηράκλειο: Ενιχερματίας πρέπει χρήματα από λορανδαλιών τουριστών για να τους κάνει εκδόροι και εξασφαλιστεί" (Herakleio: Enichermatisas needs money from tour operators to make them work and ensure). Below the headline, there is a subheading that states "Οι ενισχύτες του Crown Iris έχαξαν πληροφορίες για περιμένουν με ανοιχτό λεφτορείο – Σταθεροί οι επικοινωνίαντες την αφετροπή – Ενέτρεψαν αυτό καρτάβι ευρωιχείνων" (The supporters of Crown Iris have received information about waiting with an open cash register – Stable communication during the break – They returned the euro cards). The image also includes a street scene with buildings, signs, and a clear blue sky. The street scene features a row of shops with signs, including one that says "RIGGETTA" and another that says "Rent a Car." There is also a billboard with a classical painting. The overall layout of the image is typical of a news website, with the headline and subheading in bold text, and the street scene below.

Recovery after fire.
When we finally overthrow billionaires and their deliberate destruction of the planet and their deliberate drive towards global genocide, I think the correct punishment after they’ve had all their wealth removed from them is that they spend the rest of their lives living simply raking the forests just like Donald Trump suggested.
I can't fathom the level of corruption needed to push to accelerate the extinction of your own species.

We just saw a really gripping film: "Ghost Trail" ("Les Fantômes"), a French political/psychological thriller released in the U.S. this spring.
Syrian expatriate Hamid (breakout Tunisian star Adam Bessa) walks the streets of Strasbourg, France—mostly silent, but haunted by a tortured history, as he searches for a man from his past…

The image features a dark green background with vertical lines, reminiscent of a computer screen or a video game interface. At the top, there is white text that reads: "PRESIDENT RONNIE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THE NINJAS. ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE RONNIE?" Below the text, there is a character with blonde hair, wearing sunglasses and a dark jacket with a fur collar. The character's face is partially obscured by the sunglasses, and the overall style suggests a retro video game aesthetic.

The police do not serve and protect the people. That's an advertisement slogan only.
There's really not much of a difference. Supposedly the police have different rules of engagement, but that's officially only. There's also a bit more oversight when you go to someone else's country and start killing people. When it's your own that's just sorta unfortunate but nobody will stop you.
