They are really going to force me at +40 to learn how to use Linux.

A story in three parts

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

If only we were all like this, problem solved overnight.

Really fun initiative to be a part of.

Vad är det för ryggradslösa, fega, totalt meningslösa diplomatmesar Sverige uppfostrar!?

Sveriges diplomatiska rykte står på Harald Edelstams axlar - mannen som dagligen åkte till koncentrationslägren i Chile för att rädda främlingar. Idag vågar de inte ens ge svenska fångar vatten? Syltryggar.

"Trump uppger att USA mördat ytterligare sex Venezuelanska medborgare på internationellt vatten"

Albert Luthuli och hans arbete mot apartheid 1960? Ändå 24 år innan Desmond Tutu fick det. Annars är väl alla pristagare utsedda från just västerländska geopolitiska intressen. Norge har ju varit Nato medlem sedan 1949.

'Peace' Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize | Common Dreams As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention...

Gick fredspriset alltså till en Trumpälskande sionist som normaliserat relationerna till Likud och uppmanat USA att bomba hennes land? www.commondreams.org/opinion/peac...

Ibland tänker jag på hur det hade gått för ANC idag.

Inte så bra väl? Varje gång man protesterade mot apartheid hade där stått en liberal som bara Sydafrika har rätt att försvara sig (mot människorna med formellt nedsatt människovärde, vars tillvaro är våld utfärdat av Sydafrika).

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Inget har ändrats sedan 1948.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Vad skönt att Palestinierna dör på ett för Magnus Jacobson tillfredsställande sätt.

Vi kryper allt närmare deras våta dröm.

Crafting is a fun hobby. Especially when you do it together with other people. I'm glad these two have found each other. Male loneliness is a big problem.

"I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.”

All of these cops could call in sick to make a point. But they don't.

Har den svenska högern börjat prata om "toxic empathy" ännu? Det rullar fram så sakteliga bland den kristna högern i USA.
