#Biden #WhiteHouse reverses #WestBank policy, calling Israeli #settlements illegal
The decision was in response to reports that the #FarRight government of Israeli PM Benjamin #Netanyahu was planning further settlement #expansion, an official said.

I hope at some point the ICC come down hard on Netenyahu and the rest of the government, I hope they also come down hard on HAMAS
After that arrest, the current UK political elite who are maintaining the self-defence narrative and use anti-Semitism as an excuse NOT to speak out against these violations of international law.
It is not anti-Semitic to criticise the Government of Israel, without additional evidence to suggest anti-Semitic intent.
It is not anti-Semitic to hold the Israeli Government to the same standards as other liberal democracies, or to take a particular interest in the Israeli Government’s policies or actions, without additional evidence to suggest anti-Semitic intent.
Nice work, I can share this to help others.

6: The Local timeline is all posts from people on your own instance.
7: The Federated timeline is all posts from people who are followed by at least one person on your instance.
8: If you think your post might be distressing to others, it's a good idea to use a content warning so people don't need to see it.
9: Please don't complain if black people choose not to use a content warning when discussing racism they have experienced.

3: If you post a picture, add some descriptive #AltText for the benefit of blind and visually impaired users.
4: If you use a multi-word hastag, use #CamelCase (← like that) rather than all lowercase. Again, this makes things easier for screen readers to parse.
5: Timelines are in chronological order and there are no relevancy algorithms. To find cool people, search some hashtags you're interested in, or check out the Local and Federated timelines.

The new 4.2.8 release is out today. It's a small update that introduces a mechanic that will automatically switch sign-ups to manual review if no moderators have been active for a while. This should reduce vectors for spam and abuse in the future.

Mastodon may not be as big as some other social networks. And it may not have as many celebrities & "influencers."
But it sure is a nice place to engage with curious, thoughtful & interesting folks in ways that I haven't experienced elsewhere online.
Rather than a chaotic circus, #Mastodon uniquely feels like a (mostly) friendly neighborhood.
Do we need celebrity influencers, esp influencers who seem to talk rubbish or promote dangerous or risky products ?

Not good, and best of luck finding a new role.

I just spent 20 minutes googling "Fibonacci Sequence" because I forgot his name. I tried ratio, math, eventually just typing in the sequence itself. 15 numbers in, nothing. Just ads and video games and WTF? Super frustrating and weird. It used to be my superpower, finding anything. It made me feel like I was crazy. The internet is dead.
Israel (or the government) does not give a toss about international law, and we are seeing evidence of this.
There are voices within Israel who are getting louder, we need to support and help those people view their opinion on what their government is doing.

@thesquirrelfish you are absolutely clueless. your thinking is "well dems aren't good enough. so let's hand the country to the GOP by not voting"
you don't care at all about what you say about. your "care" is "this is what i want and i want it now and if i don't get it let it all burn"
this is immature, self-defeating nonsense
The west needs to get its act together or we will face certain doom. Too much cyber insecurity we are a sitting target too.
The west needs to be united and strong, right now it is weak and divided,

Watch who will act surprised when death numbers explode. It's the plan.
#Gaza
"What makes the starvation campaign worse, [...] is that people in Gaza are facing these conditions while Israel is forcing them into increasingly small areas and has removed access to supplies needed for basic hygiene. This has created conditions for disease to spread extremely rapidly among Palestinians in Gaza, especially as their immune systems are already weakened by malnourishment."
