'Our Genocide': How do Israelis feel about the war in Gaza? β video
Reporter Matthew Cassel speaks to Israelis in Tel Aviv, to see what they think of the war, famine and genocide happening next door, and the growing international condemnation against it
www.theguardian.com
I feel privileged that I never had to hate my neighbour, that I donβt need to paint over genocide to stay blind to it.

This is deeply tragic. The destruction is overwhelming. An unbearable nightmare. Unacceptable and incomprehensible. The disregard for human life is horrifying. Killing by bombs was wrong, fostering famine is beyond any measure of decency.
So sad that it feels wrong to react to this post with a heart

A wasteland of rubble, dust and graves: how Gaza looks from the sky
The Guardian joins a Jordanian military airdrop for a rare chance to observe a landscape devastated by Israelβs offensive
Seen from the air, Gaza looks like the ruins of an ancient civilisation, brought to light after centuries of darkness. A patchwork of concrete shapes and shattered walls, neighbourhoods scattered with craters, rubble and roads that lead nowhere. The remnants of cities wiped out.
But here, there has been no natural disaster and no slow passage of time.
Members of Jordanβs military stand among pallets of aid about to be dropped on Gaza. Continue reading...

What an interesting opinion piece, with a thought-provoking title! Are the most 'segregated' among us actually those who choose to isolate themselves in an elite bubble, unwilling to socialise with others? I believe that this is something far more widespread, not only UK.

Have you ever needed to spatialize genetic distances without relying on models like niche modeling? I built #Phylin a few years ago, an R package for that! The original purpose was to produce #spatialdata bringing #evolutionary insights into conservation prioritization. ππ§¬

With "tidy" I mean this idea of data flow with pipes and avoidance of loops, prevalent in tidyverse.
My comment is about personal use and not suggesting any ban of packages! That's in the other social media π

Great resources there! Thanks!
I completely agree! I understand the appeal of tidy but it just seems another language.
It seems to work when you have established flow for data but hampers a bit the freedom and creativity that base R gives.
