Even if you're a depraved monster, you should be against the Gaza genocide, because it's teaching elites what they can get away with, and yes, they will do it to you if it's in their interest.

A prominent example of what can happen if institutions are dependent on commercial enterprises sitting in the USA: The Trump administration made Microsoft block the email account of the #ICC prosecutor:
Given this recent example and the circumstance that this administration is in a constant quarrel with scientific institutions and also science in general, it is quite scary how dependent many - not all - German universities are for their core IT infrastructure on Microsoft services.
I hope this is a wake-up call for the IT service departments of our universities? We are increasingly encouraged to publish scientific findings (data, articles) according to #FAIRPrinciples in #OpenScience , but shouldn't we also think more about the vulnerability of our whole workflow, if the underlying IT can be shut down simply by an order of someone on the other side of the planet? Open alternatives do exist!
"...dogmatic calls to eliminate entire research areas..." (les SHS au CNRS)
"...Scientists’ rational, detailed, and evidence-based arguments used to be effective in influencing policy, but the current administration and its allies have largely disregarded experts and facts in making major decisions..." (l'absence de faits réels justifiant la proposition de loi Duplomb)
"...The numerous rollbacks of major EPA rules and environmental protections will dramatically degrade air and water quality and irreparably harm public health and ecosystems..." (les attaques contre la FRB)
The image features a clear glass mug filled with a light brown beverage, likely a latte or cappuccino, with a frothy top displaying a latte art design resembling a swan or leaf. The mug has a handle and is placed on a dark wooden table. Surrounding the mug are three small, round candies: two white and one brown, suggesting a variety of flavors. To the left, there is a woven placemat, and in the background, a colorful coaster with the text "The Happy Hour" is visible, along with a few other indistinct items. The overall setting suggests a cozy, inviting atmosphere, possibly in a café or a home setting.

Broadcom employees have had their personal data compromised following a September 2024 ransomware attack on Business Systems House (BSH), a Middle Eastern subsidiary of payroll company ADP.
Jfc you put that so beautifully that I was sure that I'd search the phrase and find it a quote. No offense meant. But that's an excellent 5 words right there. 🌸
It's still smacks of hustle culture. People are putting groceries on credit. There comes a point (which we've passed) where microeconomics, regardless of what you're putting on your toast, doesn't cut it. Childcare, medicine, and education costs are rising because people need higher wages. The big cash flow, though, is going to passive income, namely, /unregulated/ global digital & real estate investment companies.
Of course there's more we theoretically could do. IMHO the first step is alerting folks to what economics is, which is largely the study of power, not just money. One solid truth is that if you pool it together and organize it, it grows. Conversely, /not/ gathering around and working toward learning and its institutions is the definition of stupid. Not seeking to understand where the power is, where one's power is, is a choice of ignorance.
Also, IMO, pouring extreme resources into activities with high CTE rates is also stupid. My kid is going to a college with a lame-ass football team and throws all its scholarship funds into rewarding academic achievement.
(But this is where I start to get partisan, sexist, and you might call it shrill, so I'll stop, now.)

Decentralization means a media outlet can run their own social media server and nobody can stop them from going viral. No matter what inconvenient news they publish. The only barrier to this is the people you know staying on the other platforms. Until that changes, shitty govts and big tech/media assholes and advertisers will dominate what most of us know about and focus on. And that will determine elections and so much of what happens IRL. #SocialWeb #DemocracyOfReach social.mondoweiss.net/@mondowe…
In the past 48 hours, Israel has killed more than 250 Palestinians. Tweets from Palestinians in Gaza report some of the worst bombings across the Strip since the start of the genocide.

I know that's a common refrain, but I don't buy it. Forgiveness needs to be absolute and unconditional. "As far as the East is from the West, so far have you taken my sins from me."
You can be *wary* of them from then on, sure, but you cannot forgive someone and still refuse to have any contact with them. That's *not* forgiveness, IMO.
Nel suo discorso al Corpo diplomatico accreditato presso la Santa Sede, Papa Leone XIV ha lanciato un appello alla comunità internazionale per abbandonare ogni logica di conflitto e costruire relazioni fondate sul dialogo e sul disarmo
