'Emilie Schindler, die door velen werd bespot als bedrogen echtgenote, is een door de geschiedenis vergeten heldin die onverschrokken en moedig Joden redde. De documentaire haalt haar uit de schaduw van haar man.'
(Deepl vertaling)
Waar Iedereen Oskar Schindler kent van Schindler's List, bleef Emilie totaal op de achtergrond.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot“They won’t imprison us all, they know if they fill the prisons with activists, we will overpower them from within. So flood the damn streets in your millions. Shut down these factories in your thousands! They can never arrest the resistance in our smiles. We will use the shards of our broken hearts to spear the system of injustice.” -- Qesser Zuhrah

The company on Wednesday said it is integrating the tool,

allowing users to create their own custom apps,
which Google calls Gems.
Introduced in 2024,
Gems are customized versions of Gemini designed for specific tasks or scenarios.

@Cognessence@social.linux.pizzaBecause of a sense of urgency that came upon me (and the fact I wanted some things released while still actually alive) I've put out a fairly large amount of music since 2024. 🙂

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotThis is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.
Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...
Will the proscription of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organisation'(!) also fall?
@buercher@tooting.chPharmaceutical companies are spending a smaller share of their revenues on research, for innovations that are often judged less innovative by experts, while paying more out to investors. In 2024, the US pharma giant Pfizer spent just 18% of its revenue on internal research and development – while 27% went to shareholders through dividends and debt repayment.
