At least 45 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip while waiting for UN and commercial trucks to enter the territory with desperately needed food, according to Gaza’s health ministry and a local hospital.

The circumstances of the killings were not immediately clear. It did not appear to be related to a new Israel- and US-supported aid delivery network that was rolled out last month and has been marred by controversy and violence.

Palestinians say Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on crowds trying to reach food distribution points run by the US and Israel-backed aid group since the centres opened last month. Local health officials say scores have been killed and hundreds wounded.

Things that make me irrationally angry? Only three of these videos have anything to do with cream, and the video that I was searching for with cream in the title isn't even in the results!

This is really not a new finding, but just consistent with what was already found by previous studies, but here we go:

The report found that 98 per cent of respondents that had socially and/or medically transitioned had significantly higher levels of happiness and satisfaction.

The researchers found reasons for detransition were due predominantly to transphobia and “challenges related to social acceptance”, such as not being accepted by friends or family for being trans.

“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point,” the report read.

“Only four per cent of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36 per cent.”

Wir haben so tolle Plakate wie "Unser Gras ist grüner als eures" (mit einem bekifften Gefühli), "Wählen ihr sie müsst" (mit einem Yoda) und "Qua(r)k macht stark" (mit einemuskelbepackten Frosch (unser Maskottchen ist ein Frosch)).

Die sind alle noch nicht in einem Zustand dass ich die irgendwo zeigen könnte ohne mich zu schämen, daher kann ich die euch nicht zeigen.

The NAACP announced Monday the group will not invite President Donald Trump to its national convention next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, the first time the prominent civil rights organization has opted to exclude a sitting president in its 116-year history.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced the move at an afternoon press conference, accusing Trump of working against its mission.

“This has nothing to do with political party,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”

The other day, the subject of fitness trackers came up and in the comments someone requested some open source ones, I said I would post some here, so here I am.
