There's another fundraiser that's low on funds that I'd like to spotlight. Sojood is a master's student and the 23-year-old mother of a sick 2-year-old boy. She and her child need money for food, water, and medicine.

Mohammed Abu Alwan, who helps distribute aid for Relief for Rafah, has met this woman and her child in person, and so this fundraiser is vetted by association:

🌹🌹A Message from the Heart of Suffering

To every kind soul out there…

We are a family of ten, including helpless infants, living in constant displacement. We’ve moved more than ten times, searching for safety, only to find torn tents, dry land, and an uncertain future.

We have no home, no enough food, and not even clean water. Our children go to sleep hungry and wake up crying from pain and illness. They suffer from severe malnutrition, and there is no medicine or milk available.

We are surrounded by the stench of sewage, swarms of insects, and relentless mosquitoes. Every day we survive is a miracle. Every hour without a new tragedy is a blessing.

Today, I share this message because we are on the edge. We are not asking for much — just enough to survive, just enough to protect our children’s dignity.

even the smallest amount, can change everything. It can save a child from hunger, or give a baby a chance to live.

Please, help us. Be the light in our darkest hour.

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

I am so STEAMED, our ministry of digitisation is seriously considering introducing a mandatory "digital wallet" app to do age verification here, like in the UK

between this and our minister of digitisation being extremely onboard with the idea of building AI data centers on Danish soil, I'm starting to lose what very, very little faith I had left in our government

Will we have another home? Or are we destined to remain displaced the rest of our live?

The Israeli army granted us temporary permission to return to the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, where we had lived before our forced displacement last March.

My father and my brother Ahmad went to check on our home only to find it had been completely leveled to the ground. NOTHING LEFT.

This was the home that embraced us for decades. The place where we grew up, laughed, feared, and felt safe. My private room, the window I used to watch life through... all of it is gone.

I asked my father, who struggled to hold back his emotions. He loved that house deeply. He built it brick by brick, when it was nothing but an empty plot of land.

He whispered: "I don't know… I can’t feel anything anymore… I’ve lost the ability to feel or comprehend."

I was speechless…

And now, standing on its ruins, we ask ourselves:

Will we rebuild it?

Will we even have another home? Or are we destined to remain displaced the rest of our live?

It’s a harsh reality…

And the unknown ahead of us is harder than we can bear, and more bitter than words can describe.

If you have a Costco membership now is a good time to contact customer service and tell them you won't be renewing unless this decision is reversed.

Some people go to bed unsure if morning will ever come.

In Gaza today, people are running after food dropped from the sky. They're slapping their hands on aid bags, as if every bite could be their last And instead of the world taking action, the response was clear: Israel is now considering occupying all of Gaza. Not a ceasefire. Not a humanitarian corridor. Occupation

i see nobody talking about this here but apparently prageru released a program about slavery and colonialism and I kid you not, the line "it's better to be taken as a slave than killed" is said.

i think we all know it's extremely dangerous to dilute the severity and generational effects slavery had on black Americans as we are STILL impacted by it and its components like Jim Crow and segregation.
