Todays #MODtober comes in the shape of a TIC-80 sized curveball. My first pop at the fantasy console resulted in me wiriting code as the music straddled multiple tracks and cartridge slots.

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

She wasn't really "deported," was she?

She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece.

That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Thunberg and other detainees were allegedly mistreated while detained by Israel. Thunberg reportedly told Swedish officials she was “in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water.” Other activists told the press that Thunberg was “paraded around” in an Israeli flag and beaten.
