I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, there’s a small “kicker” panel under the fourth panel.

PANEL 1

The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption “Soilent Green YUM.” A smaller sign says “SAFETY” in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says “is a word we use a lot so you can’t sue us.”

The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader.

WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I don’t have a car, and even if I did my boss won’t give me a weekday off.

PANEL 2

We’re in what looks like someone’s back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader.

WOMAN: I can’t get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didn’t get birth certificates.

PANEL 3

A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as he’s talking to the reader. 
MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driver’s license…. but first I’d need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I can’t afford 90 dollars to vote!

PANEL 4

This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive.
MAN: Why wouldn’t anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots!
WOMAN: People like that don’t deserve to vote.

SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON

MAN: If it’s easy for me it must be easy for everybody! That’s just science!

Ei varmaan kaipaa. Mutta oliko tämä se tapaa miten hoitaa hoitaa pois? Ensimmäisenä kuoli 40 tyttöä. Kun Dumpy ei tykkää jonkun maan johtaja on ok että pommittaa ko man, kidnappaa ja/tai murhaa hänet (ja hänen perheensä)?

Jufo-luokitus pitäisi räjäyttää - nytkin esim ammattilehteen kirjoittaminen on yhtä kun kirjoitta predatory-lehteen. Miksi?
Julkaiseminen tuo hirmu paineet tutkijoille, ja tekoöälyn myötä ei helpottuu ollenkaan. Julkaisusektorin problematiikka tiedetään mutta emme tee mitään sille.

Aiemmin oli kv-liikuvuus mallissa. Kun se poistui liikuvuusmäärät meni alas. Tdk:t ja yksiköt eivät tuohon satsaa jos ei tuottaa mallissa. Malli ohjaa tosi paljon mitä yliopistoissa tehdään (tai ei tehdä), eli vahva instrumentti ohjaamaan määrää tai laatua.

Mallista en ymmärrä, miksi esim fokus on vain kilpailtu tutkimusrahoituksesta, miksi ei myös koulutusrahoituksesta? Tekee käytännössä ’hyvä’ raha ja ’huono’ raha, ja kuilu kasvaa tekijöiden väliin. Yliopistoissa huippu tyypejä edistämässä myös koulutushankeet mutta ei huomioida.

I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over. I wanted a blue badge on LinkedIn. To get it, I gave a US company my passport, my face, and my biometric data. Then I read the fine print.

If you’re verified or thinking of getting verified on LinkedIn please read this. LinkedIn is a VLOP.

Suomi voi ajautua kaaokseen, jos yhdysvaltalainen jätti ei noudata sopimuksiaan Kela, verohallinto, Traficom, Omakanta – muun muassa ne ovat suomi.fi-kirjautumisen takana. Suomi.fi taas pyörii yhdysvaltalaisen digijätti Amazonin koneilla.

We don’t get much leeway here and generally the budgets we have in European institutions can’t be compared to US institutions- completely different world. UK too.
