#Israel is committing #Nazi level attrocities in #Gaza.
#Trump is running fast to catch up.
In the UK little is said about this because the BBC is rolling on its back asking for tummy rubs, and so called representatives made it a territorist offence to *protest* about #KierStarmer 's support for #genocide.
The reason is that tax avoiding billionaires say and do what they want, are above the law, and politicians are only in it for themselves or refuse to recognise this reality.

mattonando gli acquisti ma non con troppi soldini
Qualche attimo fa, pur di non andare a dormire ad un orario giusto, stavo cercando mattoni economici online… per costruzioni, non lo so, per commettere Minecraft nella vita reale… e sono stata alquanto delusa. Ok, no, sto scherzando… ma su Amazon ho trovato letteralmente 1 solo prodotto che rispecchiasse il mio desiderio pienamente, ed è estremamente costoso (come tra l’altro suggerisce l’unica recensione con acquisto verificato, che però comunque li valuta a 4 stelle per la qualità); cioè, regà, 33 euro per 10 mattoni non è cosa, nonostante la spedizione gratuita. Quindi, via subito sull’altro sito. 🇨🇳🐉
Allora, su AliExpress, invece, di mattoni non ne trovo affatto (magari sarà eccessivamente costoso spedirli dalla Cina?). Grande amarezza, ma in compenso ho trovato qualcosa di meglio: taccuini a forma di mattone… taccuini da 640 pagine!!! Sono subito saltata, perché è assurdo che qualcuno abbia anche solo mai potuto immaginare un prodotto del genere; figurarsi averlo messo sul mercato, e per giunta con un’estetica così carina e invitante! Sapete perfettamente cosa sto per dire a questo punto… è a tutti gli effetti un fottutissimo tomo (o, “sembra un piccolo libro”, direbbe la gente posh nelle recensioni). No però, oh, sul serio, è incredibile… sospetto un po’ scomodo da usare, perché è un A6, quindi con ben 320 fogli si terrà un botto alto dalla superficie di scrittura, e la mano finirà quindi schiacciata nello spigolo… ma chi lo ha comprato è molto contento; ha una media di 4,9 stelle questo affare. E navigando se ne trovano anche altri, persino A4, sempre con questo magico numero di 320 fogli (…non di più, per qualche motivo), anche se meno bellini e con carta in genere più sottile! 😤🤯
Come mattoncino, comunque, questo quadernino andrebbe più che bene… è vero che è fatto di alberi anziché di laterizio, ma tanto comunque io fin dal principio non sono in condizione di rispettare il codice edilizio, e quindi, che uso i mattoni, o che uso i quaderni spessi, non cambia alla fine della fiera assolutamente nulla; in entrambi i casi, o quello che andrò a realizzare crollerà da solo in poco tempo, o comunque arriveranno le forze dell’ordine a mettere i sigilli… ma quello che importa è avere la mentalità giusta, e ricordare che il gioco è bello proprio finché dura poco. (Specialmente per quanto riguarda le costruzioni; questo è stato inculcato a forza nella mente di ogni bambino fin dalla prima infanzia, andando a generare non pochi microtraumi…) 🥰…Il motivo per cui non ho riempito il carrello con più unità di questo affare di quante un intero camion ne possa trasportare, allora, è che… a 12 fottuti euro per quaderno (visto che con lo sconto di benvenuto ne potrei prendere solo uno a 86 centesimi, ma il resto si paga intero), è ancora peggio dei mattoni veri. E, a questo punto, visto che sono pur sempre molto tirchia, vado a scavare un po’ di pietra in miniera, così già che ci sono risolvo anche l’altro mio problema (detto “mine-yearning“)… e, forse, mi restano soldi per corrompere eventuali autorità che verranno a distruggere i miei sogni. 😳🙏
