Looks like something from my dreams from a few weeks ago. Really interesting, thank you for sharing.
Enjoying the great vista of the Fedisphere.

Welp, John Oliver had a time limit in that. Let’s hope that John (and HBO or whatever) is/are still feeling generous.
This is good. Scouting (in developed countries) in Europe is one and same for boys, nonbinaries and girls, mainly non-theistic (apart from the obvious theistic groups) and focused on making sure health, hygiene, happiness and life skills are taught and practiced. Girls, nonbinaries and boys coexist, do the same tasks, chores and sleep in the same tents.

Palestine instigated the fight? When, 1947 or 1948?
Hamas is not Palestine. Hamas is an extreme. But I guess the Polish (with support of allied troops) instigated the fight against WWII Germany as well post invasion.
Edit: and those damned Boy Scout troops in Poland were apparently so horrendous that they deserved being rounded up and massacred as well, those evil 8-17 year olds.
Surely you meant that Palestinians (and Palestine) are subjected to war crimes, aggression and attempts to extinguish nation, lineages and historical contexts? Similarly to Ukraine.
Which part of Europe? Try that in the southern parts of Italy or in most of Romania, you’ll be amazed at the speed they blow past pedestrians crossing when it’s since long red for cara and green for the pedestrians…
To be fair, most of the Tesla buyers in Sweden are absolute douches on the streets. Not all though.
Read The Handmaids Tale in my very early teens (had scoured every inch of my library’s sci-fi and fantasy sections and it was under sci-fi) and re-read it as a young adult.
It horrified me both as a teen and an adult, even though I had a different perspective between those phases. Watching the series lately reconnected me with that horror, albeit from a more informed perspective and seeing way more parallels in the more recent development of our societies.
My kids (teens) have seen the TV series, and the book (a used copy) is in their shelf of books to read. Of course the series and the book are surrounded with discussions about ethics, respect and the values of life.
Edit: And yes, I’ve read pretty much everything Stephen King had written until recently. I was probably around 12 when I read It. I still think it is fucked up, but the main part that is, is how horribly people treat kids, animals and other humans. The scary non-humans are most often not the real monsters.
I have read The Kite Runner, and it contains situations involving manipulation and sexual abuse including rape. However hard it is to read in some parts (and especially if you’re grown and can read a lot into the obvious mental and physical abuse of children that perhaps isn’t always obvious to actual children), it is a damn good book showing life, love and hope from a non-western perspective.
Looks delicious. Other than the mint and cilantro though, soup is probably 100 x better without them. Replace them with more onions, garlic and chilies.
Looks like one of the closed down malls in Playa del Ingles on Gran Canaria. Several of the older ones relied on passive cooling by creating underground sections to escape the heat without AC.
Don’t forget misogynist…
Fascists gotta fascist on the far right side of the spectrum.
The first time I was ever put through a metal scanner and a pat down was when landing at an airport in the UK. Mind you, this was before 2001, but any traveler complaining was given dirty looks or pulled aside, one of my co-travelers was pulled aside and his luggage was searched and he was more thoroughly searched and questioned for a while (can’t remember exactly how long, but it delayed us for a conference and we were too late for our hotel check in, so we had out of pocket expenses).
I guess borders are a bottle neck…
Was a reply to the comment before it was edited. I’ll delete mine.

I’m not from the US, but I have the distinct opinion that both Biden and Trump are too old. My parents are/were younger, and I wouldn’t trust them with decisions about anything other than what they want for breakfast.
Bernie Sanders seems saner, but you guys really need some lesser-than-septuagenarian who has non-Xitter oomph, and who has compassion and respect for human life and the planet.

I was helping out at a farm when I was in my preteens, and was rushed by a docile cow that loved being scratched behind her ears. I had petted and scratched her, and when I went to leave the paddock, she rushed me and almost impaled me with one of her horns. Since then I only have one working kidney.
Cows are big, strong and heavy, and docile dogs can also kill. Any kind of caution around things large or feisty enough to kill you is healthy.
