80 years separate these photos, of 2 staving kids.

Same shit, different religion.

If you're taking sides, you're on the wrong side.

It's gone beyond stupid religions.

They're starving kids.

It's 2025.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Well said. Ellison is taking over the AI landscape, not a good thing. His history and funding of evil empire is worrying. As an Oracle contractor for years i also know internally their business model is to hold customers like prisoners, staff even worse

Work underway to make blockchains quantum-resistant.....let's see who wins the race
