The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing? How will this possibly help deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.

@jeremyawilliams I'm not an apple user, so listen to anyone who is over me, but in the lack of that: it seems like you can have multiple smarttrip cards in your apple wallet: https://www.wmata.com/fares/MobilePay/ApplePay.cfm. They will need to be stored as separate individual cards though. It matches your entrance station to exit station for pricing, so they can't be shared on the same trip.

coming to realise that laziness is not really a thing. it's just that capitalism makes us believe that any time spent on rest or one's self-interest is not productive and thus a waste.

anyway, i hope you all have a slow friday & a restful weekend.

Looks dumb, right?

This is how we design many cities.

Stop. Putting. Important. Info. In. Discord.

Put it on the actual web, where it is searchable.

Olay says their cream goes 10 skin layers deep. Real question: what test can/could determine the number of layers of skin something can seep through?

@vanellopemint Emergency services usually are required to still work without a SIM card. That's the case for calling 911 in the US at least; I assume they require the same for emergency alerts.
