The #kibbutz movement was built on a vision: universal values, solidarity, a person under their own vine and fig tree. In Tel Arad this year, inspectors made a 70-year-old Bedouin village tear down 40 of its own homes and uproot its last grapevine and fig tree, so the movement's first new kibbutz in decades can rise on the village's land.

Tel Arad: the goats are rounded up ahead of the demolition. Only a vine and a fig tree remained; the inspectors demanded that the residents uproot those as well

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice. Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike? Blue: Eight. Green: Oof. Both of the foxes look at the board pensively. Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter. Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

Apparently Trump/Musk have nerfed Starlink in such a way as to leave Ukraine unable to use effectively either its attack missiles or its drone interceptors. WTF, America?

I know it's rare for locals to want outsiders to weigh in but I'd like to hear from people not from Toronto: what do you think about the provincial government removing bike lanes along a major street in Canada's largest city, purportedly to reduce traffic?

Le périphérique restera limité à 50 km/h : deux ans après, quels résultats concrets ?

La justice a débouté ce mardi des automobilistes demandant le retour à 70 km/h, en vigueur jusqu’en octobre 2024. Bouchons, bruit, accidents : la Ville de Paris défend son choix en s’appuyant sur des chiffres favorables.

−1,5 dB le jour et −2,9 la nuit. -44 % d’accidents, 14 % d’heures de bouchons en moins , et les concentrations moyennes de dioxyde d’azote ont baissé de 6 %.
