WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday detailed a three-phase deal proposed by Israel to Hamas militants that he says would lead to the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza and could end the grinding, nearly 8-month-old Mideast war.

Biden said the first phase of the proposed deal would would last for six weeks and would include a “full and complete cease-fire,” a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza and the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly and the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

American hostages would be released at this stage, and remains of hostages who have been killed would be returned to their families. Humanitarian assistance would surge during the first phase, with 600 trucks being allowed into Gaza each day.

The second phase would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers, and Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza.

The third phase calls for the start of a major reconstruction of Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding from devastation caused by the war.

If the goal is in fact to value traditionally feminine accomplishments in a way that empowers all women, it’s fair to ask why the contestants are, for the most part, being judged according to a very narrow standard of physical beauty. Is it actually empowering women as a class? Or is it empowering a small group of individual women who have a good time competing in pageants because they fit the brief?

The leaked video of Jakrajutatip’s meeting puts the lie to Miss Universe’s mission statement in the same way that the swimsuit competition does. It shows an organization that uses empty rhetoric about inclusion and diversity as a cover for the same blinkered vision of womanhood it has always pursued: a pageant queen who is thin, cis, and very young, a Barbie doll pre-epiphany.

I voted for Bernie twice, in the 2016 primaries and again in the 2020 primaries. I donated a few hundred bucks as well. After he lost, I voted for the candidate he endorsed, because in my view, the candidate he endorsed would get us closer to the ideals he espoused, and certainly not the GOP. That is why it's mind-boggling.

If he had to bite down on the rag

Sexist and uncalled for. Do better.

It's mind-boggling to hear people cry foul about Bernie Sanders when the man himself has endorsed Biden and is actively helping him campaign.

the GBA titles

I absolutely adored the Urbz game for DS. Pretty sure it's the same game as the GBA version, but it had an added post-game minigame. I loved maxing out friendships and having bonus areas to decorate!

Hey Lally, sorry for the long delay in replying, was busy relaxing / visiting my dad this weekend. No roots yet as of cutting the bottoms off of those cells a few days ago, but I'll continue to keep an eye out and keep you posted. Thanks for the advice, I greatly appreciate it.

[-] godzilla_lives@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

No visible roots as of yet, but I'll keep an eye out and move them over once they start to poke. Yeah I'm definitely watering more as these days get hotter. Already feels like 97 outside 😭

[-] godzilla_lives@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

Thank you! That means a lot :) I took your advice from a few threads back and made sure they were getting more sunlight. In terms of protection, not much, just trying to keep their little starter trays damp in this heat. They dry out so quickly!

It's always a joy to see this thread posted :) I just got back inside from watering my little balcony garden, and I'm pleased to report that things are looking pretty good! Wife and I had to fasten some twine to the tomato plant to give it some support, because the maters are coming in big this year! Dinosaur kale is coming along nicely and the non-descript micro greens are right behind. My sunflowers are starting to bud too, and I'm so excited for when they bloom.

My catnip and pumpkins sprouts aren't doing as well as I'd hoped, but that's on me. I've lived in the South my whole life, and I was still so surprised it got so hot so quick. I was lucky that they more-or-less bounced back after being cared for, but let's just say I'm not planning to carve my own pumpkins this fall just yet. But as I've said before, this is just a fun little hobby (at least that's what I tell myself, I was very saddened to see them wilting in the sun). And hey, my peppers are looking great, especially the cayennes!

Have some pictures! Go easy on my poor little sprouts 😭

That's a Peanut! Thank you so much, the 50mm and auto focus did all the work. I just saw the yawn!

The square button second from the bottom mutes the audio. I've taken to carrying a marker in my car and writing "<--- MUTE" next to them. Alternatively, a small screwdriver between the speaker grating.

What's up y'all, it's the year 2000 again.


Look how we’re walking

Look how we're looking for tomorrow.

We don't even have the strength.

Here comes the angel coming down, to strengthen us.

He will give us the strength so we can work.

He will give us the strength to go all the way to where we wanna go.

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.


God damn I hate this fucking AI bullshit so god damn much.
