Almost 300m people at risk of death through starvation – report
Aid cuts, conflict, climate and economic shocks contribute to sixth consecutive rise in numbers facing ‘high levels of food insecurity’Mark Townsend (The Guardian)
It's worth remembering Ygael Gluckstein's message in his 1982 text on the roots of #Israel's violence in #Palestine: only the workers have the solution. No state, not the PLO, and today – not #Hamas.
#Zionism was 1 of 2 possible answers to antisemitism: »Some joined the general revolutionary movement – others chose separation.« Those choosing option no. 2 turned to imperialist powers for support. And here we are.
It's never too late for the 1st option.

The image depicts a yellow bird perched on a cylindrical wooden perch. The bird has a bright yellow plumage with subtle white speckles, a small black beak, and pinkish feet. It is facing to the left, with its head slightly lowered, as if pecking at the perch. The perch is suspended by blue cords and is attached to a wall. In the background, there is a window with a curtain, allowing natural light to enter the room. The overall setting appears to be indoors, likely in a domestic environment.

The image shows a map of Europe with a focus on France, highlighted in a darker shade of blue. A blue box overlay on the map provides specific data about France. The text within the box reads: "France, Statements of support collected online: 484,753, Threshold: 55,695, Percentage: 870.37%." This indicates that France has collected significantly more statements of support online than the threshold set, with the percentage being 870.37%. The map background is white, and the countries surrounding France are shown in various shades of green and blue, with France being the most prominent.

The image shows an aerial view of a group of private jets parked on an airport tarmac. There are at least nine jets visible, varying in size and design, with some having two engines and others having four. The jets are predominantly white with some having blue or red accents. The tarmac is surrounded by hangars and buildings, with shadows indicating it is either morning or late afternoon. The text overlay reads: "OF ALL THE MEETINGS THAT COULD'VE BEEN ZOOM MEETINGS YOU'D THINK A CLIMATE CONFERENCE WOULD BE FIRST ON THE LIST." The text is in white capital letters, contrasting with the image background.

The image displays a progress bar with the title "Signatures collected online" at the top. Below the title, there is a blue horizontal bar that represents the progress, with the text "900,491 / 1,000,000" indicating the current number of signatures collected out of the target. The progress bar is nearly full, showing that a significant portion of the goal has been achieved. At the bottom of the image, there is a clock icon followed by the text "End of the collection period: 17-May-2025," indicating the deadline for collecting signatures. The overall layout is simple and straightforward, with a clean white background and black text, making the information easy to read.

It's not an ethical dilemma. If a HUMAN driver got into a situation where they had to choose between hitting and killing a granny or baby, we'd rightly jail them for many years for reckless/dangerous driving.
A self-driving vehicle should be incapable of operating in a manner equivalent to a reckless human driver.
If a self-driving vehicle is capable of getting into such a situation, the car manufacturer is responsible for a crime of homicide and should be punished.

If I see a granny and a baby on a footbridge over a motorway, and throw both into the path of a car, I'm glad to hear it's the car driver being jailed and not evil me.
(Of course I wouldn't do that. On the other hand the temptation to drop a heavy stone into the path, oh never mind, I wouldn't do that either)
Fact check: if the human driver was not drunk and did not flee the scene, they wouldn't even get their license suspended.

> L’evoluzione ideologica della Silicon Valley, passata da simbolo progressista a fucina di una nuova destra tecnologica, per quello che potrebbe essere definito il tecnofascismo americano.
L'immagine mostra un gruppo di persone in abiti formali, probabilmente in un contesto ufficiale. Al centro, una donna con un abito bianco sorride, accanto a un uomo calvo con un abito scuro e cravatta bordeaux. Accanto a lui, un uomo con capelli scuri e barba grigia indossa un abito nero. Sullo sfondo, si vedono altre persone, alcune con espressioni serie, in un ambiente che sembra essere un luogo di importanza, come un palazzo o un edificio governativo.
