Best printer 2023: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

When we talk about Palestinian responsibility in Hamas attacks, it's important to note that not only are half too young to vote, but no one has had the chance to vote in 16 years.

A person driving a truck with right-wing stickers pulled a "splatter ball gun" on pro-Palestine protesters at a rally. Several armed rally goers pulled their own weapons, and forced the person to drop their weapon and also remove their mask.

"Two individuals within the march rushed to the front, drew their own handguns, and ordered the man to immediately drop his weapon and take off his mask to which he complied. After doing so, he took his mask off. As the two individuals kicked the now-unmasked man’s weapon away,"

I've sued the UK to make my gender legally nonbinary. The case is scheduled to be heard at The High Court of Justice in London on 1st November, starting at 10am.

I'd really appreciate folks gathering to show their support.

PLEASE check your kids' Halloween candy. Just found an Okta admin access token in a Snickers bar.

I find the recent attack on Israel absolutely despicable.

But claiming there is a good side and a bad side in this conflict is ignoring history, and Statista has the graph to prove it.
