After encouraging podcast listeners of the recently deceased Charlie Kirk to become online vigilantes in search of anyone “celebrating” Mr. Kirk’s death, Vice President JD Vance said last week: “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”

Vance was doing what conservatives often do — conjuring up people so his followers have someone specific to foment against. This brand of demagoguery is incredibly dangerous, because when informally deputized vigilantes realize that few real enemies exist, they accept any substitute. They direct their manufactured ire toward innocent people, marginalized groups and, eventually, each other.

Civility is the mode of engagement that is often demanded in political discourse; it is the price of admission to important political conversation, its adherents would have us believe; no civility, no service. But civility — this idea that there is a perfect, polite way to communicate about sociopolitical differences — is a fantasy...

disperazione pomeridiana, di stampo rigirante, accidentalmente universitario.

Oggi mi sentivo un po’ vecchia, un po’ marcita, un po’ persa, per quanto assolutamente mai meno magica (anche perché stavolta non ho dimenticato pezzi a casa per uscire, quindi bene)… e perché però? Boh, perché nonostante le nuove cose ci sono comunque sempre soltanto io e me, ed i momenti veramente epici sono limitati, se non nulli, al di fuori delle benedettissime distrazioni… e perché in appena due giorni di fare avanti e indietro fuori casa, per qualche motivo, due (2) unghie a caso delle mie importanti ditine si sono scassate… una particolarmente. Dovrei ritagliarle e rimettere lo smalto, ma ieri sera mi scordai, e stasera probabilmente i poteri forti troveranno un altro modo per impedirmelo… 🥴

Ma, per una buona volta, ho nel possibile (cioè, nel così piccolo da richiedermi pensiero quasi nullo e solo pochi secondi di tempo) deciso di accettare la disperazione, e… ho cambiato la cover del telefono con questa qui di qualche tempo fa, a portafoglio, che dunque fa molto zia boomer… (Ma davvero eh, di solito non si trova gente sotto i 40 anni con queste, e in genere i telefoni su cui sono applicate sono pure pieni di malware.) Ok, in effetti il collegamento logico è fragile, ma il mio cervello ha deciso così, e così è; prossima volta, a pensarci meglio, prendo l’altra mia cover vecchia, quella viola, che è tutta consumata e scolorita in vari punti, con attaccato un laccetto di fortuna marcio, e forse quella sarebbe più appropriata. Comunque, visto che le distrazioni, alle 2 di pomeriggio, nel mezzo del letterale vuoto orario, non bastavano a farmi stare a posto, oggi sono pure andata alla macchinetta a prelevare la droga, e a quel punto si che sono stata nel mio… nella disperazione, certo, ma pur sempre la mia personalissima e inconfondibile disperazione! 🥰

Quindi, oggi il mood è questo. Contemporaneamente maledetto, ma a suo modo sacro ed inviolabile. E sono a dire il vero un po’ in dubbio sul se la foto di queste così immacolate vibe scattata non solo con la webcam del PC portatile, ma scattando una schermata del desktop del portatile con la fotocamera aperta, faccia più disperazione o più vecchiaia, ma quello che davvero conta è che è reale. Con Android Studio aperto sotto non per caso, ovviamente, ma perché a queste condizioni così pesanti è davvero meglio abbandonarsi alla sofferenza autoinflitta dello sviluppo Android, piuttosto che lasciarsi tirare in pasto da quel vuoto esistenziale che si nasconde sempre, costantemente, dietro ogni angolo, dentro ogni parete… (Forse anche per questo, dopo essermi piazzata col PC in aula studio, ho in modo parzialmente inconscio fatto la speedrun per andare alla macchinetta più lontana, che quella vicina aveva una fila interminabile, per acquistare il caffè, che oggi ha vinto sulla mia tirchiaggine senza nemmeno una gran lotta? E boh…) 🦴

Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military's access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.

Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military's elite spy agency, had violated the company's terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.

The decision to cut off Unit 8200's ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.

The British government has said it cannot offer diplomatic protection to its citizens onboard the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, as Italy and Spain send ships to accompany it following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.

Mathilda Mallinson, MEE's correspondent onboard one of the flotilla's boats, said the British Foreign Office told her mother it was "unable to offer" diplomatic protection.

Diplomatic protection is action the UK can take against another country for injury caused to a British national, or their property, in violation of international law.

One boat Israel apparently bombed in Tunis, Alma, is a British vessel and flies the British flag. At least 13 people on the flotilla are British citizens.

Spain and Italy have sent naval ships into the Mediterranean Sea. Italy dispatched a frigate on Wednesday after an Israeli drone attack on the flotilla in international waters.

Hi all,

I recently found out that as a part of my job I get access to a small gym in the building. I think it has your basic cardio equipment and some other stuff for building muscle (but small enough I don't think there is equipment to do stuff like dead-lifts or whatever in there).

I don't know anything about working out really, but I could stand to lose some fat, which draws my attention to the treadmill that they have. I am not so concerned about building muscle and everything that involves.

I have mostly neglected going to gyms for 3 reasons.
- They are usually out of my way
- I don't usually have the time
- I don't want to spend what they charge

All three of these are now non-factors now that I have found out I have access to this one.

I would be using it twice a week as that is how often I am actually at the location.

So my question is, since it's not really something I have ever looked at - if I want to lose a bunch of fat, what do I do? I can try to diet first off, and I am glad to take suggestions on what worked for other people in that regard, but more so I just don't know how long or how fast I should run, what equipment is good for this otherwise, or really anything about using a gym.

Please note that the facility is self-serve and has no staff - they just have cleaners come in each day to clean it, the rest is up to you. I do not have the money to spend on something like a personal trainer, and the location doesn't offer such things as well given its self-serve nature.

Thank you.
