I really don't understand #nostr / #amethyst notifications. The notifications tab always starts empty. Sometimes it would remain empty. Sometimes it would load the newest notifications there are. Only the new ones. And sometimes only notifications that are a year old. Can someone explain this? #asknostr

This article is mostly right. Especially the part that for peace to reign in the ME Hamas must be dismantled. The point the writer is missing is that the Hamas is a philosophy. It's a a belief system. This system is held by most of the people living in Gaza. Even if Hamas will be dismantled, the Hamas in the Gazans heart will remain. Very quickly we will see new Hamas like organizations popping up. #israel #gaza

What the right doesn't understand, and #AynRand did understand,is that tomorrow the FCC will be used against them. Jimmy Kimmel was despicable. He deserved the public condemnation. But in a free society that is where it should end. The public should have the freedom to choose if they want Kimmel on air or not. That choice was taken from the public, by gun point. Taking someone off air with the threat of the federal government arms is one step behind using arms to silence someone. This was a violent act of censorship which the left will gladly adopt against the right.
