"#Israel has not changed course. The supplies entering #Gaza are woefully short of the minimum calories Israel specified before the war. American airdrops of supplies and emergency port are a pitiful pretence of a substitute.

#Famine is unfolding in Gaza today. We should not have to wait until we count the graves of children to speak its name."

Erkennt jemand diesen AfDler vor dem Parteibüro in Lichterfelde, Berlin?

Er war der Organisator einer Veranstaltung zum Thema Abschiebung / "Remigration" gestern Abend.

Ich habe eine andere Person aus dem Bild herausgeschnitten, weil sie vielleicht ein Journalist war.

My recent favourite historical novels have been #AmitavGhosh´s Ibis Trilogy, which fictionalises, among very many other themes, the #BritishEmpire´s opium #colonialism against #China and #India.

One of the characters is the Boston son of slave who passes as white. Much of the plot hinges around #racialisation.

The sheer depth of research and the deployment of many varieties of English from Indian English dialects to ´Lascar´ pidgin is astounding.

"We, the undersigned Israel-based civil society and human rights organizations, call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and demand the immediate release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. An immediate ceasefire will prevent further loss of civilian lives and facilitate access to vital aid for Gaza to address the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe there."

• Inputing #Chinese in #Linux (#Gnome)

** Pinyin

Use the Hanyu Pinyin Letters with AltGr keyboard in Gnome.

AltGr and 1, 2, 3, 4 give you the accents in Hanyu Pinyin as a dead key

** 中文子 zhōngwénzì

Use Intelligent Chinese (Pinyin) keyboard

This allows you to type pinyin without accents and select the characters using the number keys.

“My childhood was spent in the first 10 years much the same way as the children of Gaza. I know exactly what they’re going through. I know exactly how they’re feeling.” She argues “it should be an absolute standstill of all governments that you are told over 10,000 children are being murdered. There is no excuse for that.”

The German super-rich determine national politics, as they do in the US. They are just more discreet about it.

The Ghent Alterpiece is now behind glass, making it impossible to see the details for which this work is so famous.

The upper half in St. Bavo´s cathedral is currently a modern copy.

But I liked this composition through the marble columns.

If you were the woman on a yellow racing bike who was attacked by a car driver this evening (Tue 17 Oct at 19:00) near #potsdammerplatz in #berlin, then I am a witness, have photos and the numberplate of the car.

From #theguardian :

"This victory was due to an utterly dominant second half from Fiji, and while there were some of the old tropes on TV commentary about Fijian ability and style, that is not an accurate summary. This was a all-park performance, with a rock solid scrum, decent set-piece and a wonderfully composed display from Caleb Muntz alloyed with the best of Fiji’s unique ability. This is a very good rugby team indeed."

#ireland runs a regime where big tech is hardly taxed and is subject to hardly any data privacy oversight. Now the #fg #ff #greens want to make the lack of data protection even more intransparent. This is an attempt to make the great work of people like #maxschrems even more difficult by criminalising it.
