This Is What the End of the Liberal World Order Looks Like
In a post-American world, greed and nihilism are destroying Sudan.
In Sudan, the post-American world has already arrived, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social reports. A brutal civil war has left a vacuum—and no international organizations, no diplomats, and certainly no Americans are coming to fill it.

Ah yes, a female Titan, daughter of Uranus and Gaia, true goddess of fertility and motherhood before Demeter took on that role :-)
If you fancy emulating the Greek phonemes, she’s “RE-ah”.
“Re” pronounced the same way as you do in “result”

Ah, thank you for (kinda) making my point:
(I believe) that we _don't_ really care about the scale of the disaster - despite UNHCR and MsF doing their best to educate us.
We care about a notion of our protest being "effective".
"Sudan? What is that?" vs "Jews? Hey, they are everywhere!".

Hate to be the “but” guy… but: we appear to be _very_ selective in our outrage.
I’ve struggled to find any organised protests for the Sudan civil war and yet the official figures are now reporting almost 522 _thousand_ children dead from malnourishment?

In my case my trusty (DA-15 plug) keyboard was being locked in a cupboard by dad to ensure "I don't spend all my summer days in front of a screen" (8088 PC with 256KB memory and no HDD).
No keyboard meant bios error code on boot. Tricky to do a "mouse only" thing.
(Thus I learned to lockpick)

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation.
Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...
I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes.
A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her.
Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard.
...
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Finally εχεις και τα medical edge cases. Λεχώνα σε δύσκολη φαση, παιδι που χρειάζεται κατι να του γίνει, κάποιος _πρέπει_ να εχει ευθυνη. Στο NHS εχεις ενα "support person" αλλα αν πρεπει να παρθούν αποφάσεις μπλέκει το πράγμα. Σε μας παει default "πατέρας".

Πιστεύω οτι πέραν της "πατριαρχικίλας" υπάρχουν και κάποια πιο GR-specific edge cases οπου επίτηδες λεει το μαιευτήριο "ποιός ειναι ο πατέρας;". (Σκέφτομαι ανήλικες μάνες, "προστατευόμενες κοινωνικές ομάδες" κλπ.). Αλλα μπορεί να ειναι και bias αυτό 🤷🏼♂️

χαχαχαχα. ΣΤο όνομα έχεις επιλογές. Στο επώνυμο πρεπει να το δηλωσεις ΠΡΙΝ παντρευτείς ή κανεις σύμφωνο συμβίωσης. Αλλιώς ο ληξιάρχος θα πει "τουτο δω, τινους είν;" - "Της Γκιούσου" - "Ποιανού είναι δαύτη;" κλπ κλπ
Το ηλεκτρονικό βραχιολάκι ισως λύσει λιγο την πατριαρχικίλα.

Επώνυμο τέκνου: Τι ισχύει, πώς μεταβάλλεται και διάφορα άλλα νομικά παράδοξα
Σύμφωνα με το άρθρο 1505 ΑΚ «1. Οι γονείς υποχρεούνται να έχουν προσδιορίσει το επώνυμο των τέκνων τους με κοινή αμετάκλητη δήλωσή τους. Η δήλωση γίνεται πριν από το γάμο,
Τα μαιευτήρια πάνε με την default προσέγγιση και θεωρούν τον "τεκμαιρόμενο πατέρα των παιδιών" (σύζυγο, σύντροφο, "it's complicated" ) υπεύθυνο για τα πάντα (πληρωμή, ληξιαρχικές διαδικασίες κλπ).
Ολα ξεκινούν απο το "ποιό επώνυμο θα πάρει το παιδί" - www.mcaounilaw.gr/%CE%BD%CE%B5...
