"Israel erased the civil registry in Gaza, destroyed it completely, destroyed the libraries and stole tens of thousands of ancient records, the Gazans now have no proof of their assets, the degrees they earned at the university or even the birth certificates of their children" #AirDropAidForGaza

  "Susan Sontag... did get off one sound bite in an interview on television, which was to me a stunning sermon in and of itself. She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction." -Kurt Vonnegut

@RustyBertrand Though I'm afraid in Israel the vast percentage has been moved in the cruel direction. @RustyBertrand@mastodon. In other words, most of us learned that Nazi policies ruined Germany and caused tens of millions to violently die. But for some Hitler is to be studied and improved upon. For them widespread death and ruination are acceptable venture risks. Perhaps this is why so many of that cruel 10 percent already have their own bunkers.  Those new to #chess are often taken by surprise by specialized moves like castling and π¦π― π±π’π΄π΄π’π―π΅ and π·π°ππ΅π³π°π― π±π¦π΅πͺπ΅π¦, in which all the pieces lost may reform into one giant super-piece with powers to move to any two squares at the same time.

 @RustyBertrand Wait, wait, hold on. I remember this. A long time ago I saw this on the original Power Rangers. Every time the bad guy was winning she'd do this and then the Power Rangers would summon their giant mechas and win every single time. This move seems superior, but it's actually a 100% guaranteed failure!  @RustyBertrand my child actually invented a physical game like that once, and used tape and hot glue to stick pieces together from cheap plastic sets to make new pieces. And yes, they were shaped like Giant human shaped robots.  |
