What's your favourite library for just the pure joy of being in it? Mine is the State Library of Victoria in Australia.

since question is not geo- nor time- restricted I liked even just to sit at Ca' Foscari Zattere (CFZ) university library in Venezia, Italy. Was not a student, after registration anyone can enter. Unfortunately I left the ancient city after just few years.

De aanwezigheid van arbeidsmigranten is een keuze om onze lage-loneneconomie draaiende te houden. Het systeem van tijdelijke contracten, gedwongen huisvesting en gebrekkige verzekeringen is een keuze. Dat mensen werken en leven als wegwerparbeiders is een keuze. Verkiezingen zijn het moment om andere keuzes af te dwingen.

in reply to Catharina Bethlehem ☑️ Cath

Over "inhoud" gesproken:
Timmermans was bij de nieuwe NPO1 talkshow inderdaad inhoudelijk over privatisering openbaar vervoer. Al kwam dat nauwelijks uit de verf.

Maar pijnlijk was dat hijzelf Wilders' hatelijke foto-tweet ter tafel bracht die hij (op zich terecht) associeerde met nazi-propaganda en daarmee deze provocatie extra aandacht gaf. Het bood de presentator de gelegenheid om de ophef aan te jagen met de hijgerige vraag of hij Wilders een fascist vond.

Niks geleerd dus.

in reply to Catharina Bethlehem ☑️ Cath

Mensen die maar blijven denken dat talkshows iets anders dan ophefmachines zijn. Ik blijf me erover verbazen.

Het is godgeklaagd wat het publieke discours is geworden onder invloed van deze ramshTV.

"You can only vote if you pay taxes"

Let me just correct you there. Everyone pays taxes. If you buy anything from a registered business, you pay taxes. It is called VAT or value added tax.

So, unemployed people, seniors on pension, even children pay taxes.

Habiti d’huomeni et donne venetiane — Giacomo Franco

In about 1610, the Venetian engraver and publisher Giacomo Franco published a collection of prints of Venice and the Venetians, under the title Habiti d'huomeni et donne venetiane con la processione della ser.ma signoria et altri particolari cioe trionfi, feste et cerimonie publiche della nobilissima citta di Venetia.

This rather longish title translates as: The Habit of the Venetian men and women with the procession of the most serene lordship and other particularities such as triumphs, feasts and public ceremonies of the most noble city of Venice.

I did the DNA ancestry dot com thing, trying to find out about my dad’s dad who we know nothing about. I found lots of cool documents about the known parts of my family. Immigration papers, wedding documents etc. I learned Spanish so I could read those documents for the Mexican half of my family. But still a brick wall when it comes to my grandfather. I found a 1/2 first cousin in L.A., cousin Lola! The answer lays there but I don’t know in what way as she also has information holes in her family and she didn’t want another cousin 🥺 so frustrating. It just seems so strange I have gazillions of family members on there except the ones I want to learn about, I can’t figure it out

Did you check familysearch.org ?

AFAIK the Mormon church has the most extensive collection of open genealogy records in the whole world. Genealogy is a BIG part of their religion so they archive every scrap of genealogical data that comes their way.

"A noteworthy part of the plan is to pause the electric vehicle (EV) mandate to meet a demand by the auto industry. The strategy waives the mandate for the 2026 model year and launches a 60-day review of the policy."

"Review" is a euphemism for dismantling it later, I think. I'm not sure how anyone ever expected it to work without a widespread charging network in place. Single fam detached garage charging I suppose, but that seemed unlikely to be sufficient.

I sure wonder what public cloud could possibly satisfy "buy Canadian."

The biofuels statement misleading political noise to distract and deny.

"Biofuels do not reduce emissions"

Canadian agriculture relies heavily on nitrogen fertilizers, there will be little if any less net "carbon release" through agrofuels, until fertilizer production becomes carbon neutral or negative.
"Huge amount of energy required to grow crops"

"who's land where and for what"
Land Use change can't be ignored.
If canola based agrofuel is used, where will Canadians get their vegetable oils for non-fuel?

300年前の江戸や大阪も人口ブラックホールだったらしい。農村から人が入ってくるのに人口がある一定から増えない。だって誰も子供を作れないから。資本主義というのは収奪装置。


mastodon.social/@LukaszOlejnik… 啊就... 和底下的留言一樣,這不是新聞了,研究也沒什麼新發現,但研究本身還是很有意義的。

全面 AI propaganda 的時代,只有二種防禦方法:
1. 全民內建媒體識讀,然後有一個運作良好的事實查核中心,或
2. 政府進行全面的言論審查和媒體控制

從成本來看,只有第 2 種才做得下去。民主的基石已經被掏空了。


🚨AI propaganda factories🏭 are now operational. My study shows how small, open-weight models can run as fully automatic generators in influence campaigns. mechanising personas, engagement, cadence. Possible for State, non-state, and micro-actors, including and bedroom ones. This is a wake-up call. This has implications for AI Safety. Alignment in frontier, closed-source models won't save you. 💥 Next generation information warfare.

記事の中心の趣旨とはズレるけど、「エッセンシャルワーカー」という言葉が出てきた時、少しホッとして使いやすいと思ったな。

下記の様な指摘がされて日本語圏でも「アンダークラス」という呼称に反感を持つ者もすでに居るのに、記事全体として呼称の宣伝みたいな効果になる事をどれだけ意識してるのか、ちと分からない。

> " 「英語圏、とりわけ米国では、アンダークラスという言葉に侮蔑的・差別的な意味が付着しているからです。人種差別を背景に、犯罪や福祉依存などと結びつけて語る傾向があるのです。新たな下層階級に何か名前付けをする作業が必要だと思いますが、差別に結びつけた語り方の台頭には警戒が要ります」"
