"I feel empty," said Lavender, looking mournful.

"Um... maybe you need food?" suggested Craig.

"No, food is for creatures; I'm a living space. I feel empty because my residents have been gone so long."

Just then glowing circles appeared on her exposed skin. Craig felt a breeze pick up as tiny glinting things appeared out of nowhere. Each one #targeted a different circle on Lavender's arms & face, landed, & was absorbed. Lavender sighed contentedly. "That's better."

#France fines #Apple €150M for “excessive” pop-ups that let users reject #tracking

I tried #twitter three different times, including once for work. It wasn't engaging enough to keep me.

I have a dormant #Facebook because not everyone is on #Discord. I occasionally use #Messenger.

To be fair, I never used the FB app, and every once in while, I would clean out the ad crap. When I got an ad that could in any way be a likely #targeted ad.

I did update my profile pic, and scramble my name when I was laid off.

"In most cases where journalists have been killed, the IDF has described such incidents as tragic accidents or collateral damage."

There's been a LOT of collateral damage. Someone suspicious might even say the odds of dying as a journalist were much higher than chance.

“Someone in Israel has decided that these children need to die, and someone in America has decided that that’s okay”

US doctor Tammy Abughnaim, who has just returned from a humanitarian deployment in besieged Gaza, says more and more children are killed by gunshots from Israeli quadcopters just because they leave their tents.
