Both are older than the state of Israel, FFS.
Or the EMF generators they carry around with them in their pockets, A.K.A their phones.
It's acceptable in the following contexts:
- In a comic
- In content designed for children
That's pretty much it.
That's quite uncharitable. We don't know anything about the woman, much less that she thought school shootings elsewhere were "fine".
It's pretty normal for people to mentally compartmentalize these types of shocking incidents as "things that happen in other places" rather than their own local community.
Unsurprising, given how the pro-Zionist cause has been consistently pushed through Congress since October 7th.
First, was the House resolution declaring officially that "Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism".
Then the House declared that the phrase "From the river to the sea" is antisemitic, despite the fact that it historically, and still is, used to mean different things by different groups.
Then, of course, there was the predictably one-sided Congressional ~~drubbing~~ hearing where Pro-Israel politicians lined up to criticize Columbia University for, according to them, letting Antisemitism run amok when in fact Columbia have implemented various draconian crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests and voices on campus.
The lobbying has sadly been very effective in creating a situation where simply saying "Free Palestine" is increasingly framed as being antisemitic, so it's always good to see that there are some media outlets that are pushing back against this narrative.
Western aid workers, most importantly.
Over 100 aid workers have been killed since last October, but the others weren't nearly as newsworthy due to being of Arab descent.
In circumstances eerily similar to the recent drone strikes on WCK, aid workers and medical staff working with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) were bombed and killed by Israeli forces even though they had notified the IDF of their location, and their convoy was fired upon as they tried to evacuate workers and their families from northern Gaza.
I personally don't see the Fedora team breaking away from Gnome just yet, but he makes some good points.
Starting in 2025, KDE Plasma’s release cycle switches to a semi-annual cadence that lines up with Fedora Linux releases, enabling a tight interlock of development and integration between Fedora and KDE.
This is the key change that might make such a move viable, imo. One of the key benefits of Gnome to point release distros, and Fedora in particular, is the predictable 6-month release cycle. If KDE achieve the same, then it will make the proposition a lot more attractive.
Don't forget digital music stores like Qobuz and www.bandcamp.com.
Artists get more money when you buy their music outright instead of stream it.
It's not a zero sum game - you can simultaneously be against both Trump and Biden regarding their Israel policy.
That said, I do agree that a lot of people don't realize that Trump is even more hawkish in his support for Israel than Biden is, and actively contributed to the rising tensions between Israel and Hamas during his administration. So when it comes to Israel, as surprising as it might be to some, Biden is in fact the lesser of two evils there.
All only shows content from instances that Beehaw is federated with, FYI.
Except this "series of unfortunate events" appears to be entirely self-inflicted.
We're not talking about a couple of hobbyists making YT videos in their spare time; LTT/LMG are by this point a huge media content factory whose unrelenting drive to produce the next hot slice of monetized infotainment means they are making constant (and often quite large) errors and not giving these products the time and attention required to assess them properly.
If you have the time, Gamer Nexus' initial video critique where they matter-of-factly listed all the reasons why LTT need to seriously reevaluate how they do business is a very interesting watch.

Edit: wow, it seems to have finally sunk in - LTT posted this video not two hours after I posted my comment.

You can bet they have their polling data that says otherwise. Shapiro was a deeply controversial pick who could have killed a lot of the enthusiasm, and he only helps in one individual swing state. ~~Waltz~~ Walz has broad demographic appeal, so they presumably weighed up both and decided that he was the better bet.
