The fediverse is much more than what Mastodon (and most definitely Mastodon gGmbH) allows it to be.
Don’t let folks who see nothing wrong with getting into bed with a documented bad actor like Meta/Facebook limit the potential of this fledgling network for short-term dopamine hits from “number goes up!”

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.
How many of our MPs have connections with the shareholders, ?

The question is why "nobody" is reporting on it.
Take a quick look at the post I have made an hour ago (Israeli forces killing unarmed Palestinians). You won't hear anything about such events in the media.
There is no such thing as impartiality in this conflict.

It takes coal to make silicon.
The entire digital industry is based on a Big Lie that it is clean technology.
From day one, Silicon Valley hid its chemical tanks underground to seed the lie that it was not a dirty industry.
16 out of the 17 rare earths are found in our smart phones.
1 ton rare earth = 2,000 ton toxic waste
E-waste is fastest growing waste stream in the world.
AI and data centers are devouring materials, water, energy
And digital is green?

@scottishlabour and @AnasSarwar continue to kowtow to their London masters and refuse to condemn the war criminals that control their party.
Labour has blood on its hands.
If the BBC is impartial, why is it NOT reporting this?

Israeli military invaded the city of Jenin, causing widespread destruction and violence. They seized goods, wrecked a monument, and destroyed critical infrastructure.
Amidst the chaos, a teenager was shot and three men were killed by a drone strike.
Witnesses told AFP that the forces used bulldozers to destroy roads in Jenin and its refugee camp. In recent weeks, the Israeli occupation forces have escalated their raids.

« “Today we see the consequences (of the mining) since there’s no more water. It has changed a lot in the last five years. Lithium production pollutes our land and water. The world must know that we don’t agree with this.”

The irony that the production of environmentally friendly cars is at the root of all this is not lost on her.

My concern is the part of that article that says it can "take years. "The people of Gaza / West Bank do not have years, at the current rate of slaughter they will all be dead very soon, either by bombs / Guns or starvation / disease.
The ICJ need to act NOW
So are Ireland supporting the case?
If you sexually abuse a child you are added to the sex offeders register which. This combined with background (DBS) checks ensure that you can't work or volunteer with children in the future.
We need a system in sport that if, like in the case here, you abuse a football referee, you can NEVER coach in any sport ever regardless of where or what that sport is, this needs to inclide teaching or simiar in schools or youth groups.
Perhaps this level of sanction will get the message across. We do not want abusive coaches or staff in any sport.
