This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

Oh this is good news. I knew immediately upon seeing a car with a touch screen for the first time that it was a mistake and exactly why. A whole lot of other people did, too. Nice to see manufacturers acknowledging it.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars.
Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

This story is so horrifying it is actually also a perfect case study of media literacy.
Look at this headline by the BBC. Is this how one should write the headline for the story of an army massacring medics, burying the ambulances, dumping the bodies in a mass grave, and then lying about it?

@svenni.bsky.social Og nesten ingen i media stiller spørsmålstegn ved at Oljefondet fremdeles har investeringer for milliarder av kroner i israelske selskaper.
Av kjente terrororganisasjoner er nok den israelske regjering den farligste.

And the Norwegian Oil Fund (a pension fund) have still investments in Israeli companies, about 21 billion dollars.
Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

At least 326 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, according to Norwegian newspapers. Why does the Norwegian Oil Fund (pension fund) still have large investments in Israeli companies? The Oil Fund's Council on Ethics is a joke. Money trumps ethics and morals. It's a disgrace.
