Look into technical writing. I took it in college but I'm sure you can find free resources online about it. In short, good technical writing is:

  • accurate
  • concise
  • clear
  • usable
  • readable

Of course, that's easier said than done. It makes sense to make a rough outline of what you want to write before you write it. It's also good to look over what you've written afterwards. If you keep these basic principles in mind while planning, writing, and revising, you can make your writing more effective.

It matters very little. It's performative, trying to justify the conflict by framing it one way or another. The reality on the ground will remain the same no matter what the media calls it. Ultimately, it will be historians that name the war.

The combatants are Israel and Hamas. The location is Gaza. Conclude from that what you will as far the "proper" name for the conflict.

Just start your car. It's cheaper

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

  • Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)
  • Blood on the Tracks: New York Session (Bob Dylan
  • Willie and the Poor Boys (CCR)
  • Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Tally Hall)
  • 1990 (Daniel Johnston)
  • Z (My Morning Jacket)
  • I Had A Dream That You Were Mine (Hamilton Leithauser & Rostam)
  • London Calling (The Clash)
  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles)
  • Roast Beef (Biff Rose)

If I thought about it longer, I'd probably end up with a more varied list as far as genre.

This but unironically

Bullshit. Nobody, or at least very few people, expected Reddit to revert the changes. A protest can be successful even if it doesn't lead to immediate change. I was here on Lemmy long before the API nonsense happened over at Reddit, and the difference over here is night and day. Lemmy has been around for awhile, but until these last few months it couldn't hold a candle to Reddit in terms of content or activity. Maybe it still can't, but now it has enough users to be viable. Reddit might go on like nothing happened, but in the background a competitor has been born.

Tap plus reusable water bottle. It's free.

Also great for hash browns. After shredding but before cooking, give them a press in the ricer to get the liquid out. Don't push them all the way through, though.

 
 

One by one, we'll get all these classic memes and images moved over to the lemmy-verse
