The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.
It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.

‘There will be massacres’: Palestinians in Rafah speak of their fears
The Israeli army has pushed them from one spot in Gaza to another. Now these exhausted people say they're done moving. #press
I am sure these are scenes from Trials and Tribbilations, where they go back to the TOS episode The trouble with Tribbles.

The Home Office is not useless. The Home Office is doing exactly what it's intended to do. That's the problem here.
Big tech really doesn't want us using alternatives.

I mean I always do which is why I am just now seeing this. All other websites load fine, but I annoyingly have to toggle my VPN to use my burner emails
We need to insert the word Nakba more often, thanks for reminding me of this, it was mentioned in the news and I was not able to remember the word used.
Lets keep using it, so we don't forget vital vocabulary.

#FakeScience #AcademicPublishing #ScientificPublishing #Science: "Tens of thousands of bogus research papers are being published in journals in an international scandal that is worsening every year, scientists have warned. Medical research is being compromised, drug development hindered and promising academic research jeopardised thanks to a global wave of sham science that is sweeping laboratories and universities.
Last year the annual number of papers retracted by research journals topped 10,000 for the first time. Most analysts believe the figure is only the tip of an iceberg of scientific fraud.
“The situation has become appalling,” said Professor Dorothy Bishop of Oxford University. “The level of publishing of fraudulent papers is creating serious problems for science. In many fields it is becoming difficult to build up a cumulative approach to a subject, because we lack a solid foundation of trustworthy findings. And it’s getting worse and worse.”
The startling rise in the publication of sham science papers has its roots in China, where young doctors and scientists seeking promotion were required to have published scientific papers. Shadow organisations – known as “paper mills” – began to supply fabricated work for publication in journals there."

It does not help when courses for basic IT seem to point people towards Chrome and other proprietary browsers.
A credible plan is impossible so if they pause until they have one the pause should be indefinate.
