@davidallengreen argues persuasively that we should celebrate the two votes in the House of Commons on abortion & assisted dying as they both indicate meaningful resistance to the illiberalism of the criminal laws's invasion of our private lives.

In both cases the work is not competed (they need to navigate the House of Lords before becoming law), but I think DAG is right to draw some positive value from these developments.

Illiberalism is not inevitable!

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Whilst these votes are welcome signs I feel obligated to caution that, just as Trump ignores Congress, the courts and the constitution as and where it suits him, we are already seeing forces of illiberalism simply ignoring laws made by Parliament by constructing false narratives about what those laws say and mean and by placing their preferred people in the press and in positions of power and responsibility to cement and carry through their false logic.
in reply to Christine Burns MBE 🏳️‍⚧️📚⧖

So far I see few signs of ‘the good guys’ really engaging minds on how to deal with wanton lies created in service of getting around genuine evidence led policy and decision making. I speak naturally from the viewpoint of an observer in a minority where these techniques have been developed and refined. From our point of view the rest of you are next unless this kind of cynical manipulation is somehow tackled and wrestled to the ground. Trust depends on it.
in reply to Christine Burns MBE 🏳️‍⚧️📚⧖

@christineburns
Yes, a warning well heard & I'm not sure DAG would differ.... if & when the laws do pass, then the ground on which the illiberals can be fought at least is a little more solid
in reply to Christine Burns MBE 🏳️‍⚧️📚⧖

@christineburns
Whats the first headline I see about assisted dying not related to its passing through Parliament?

"No budget for assisted dying service, Streeting says"

2nd Paragraph

"Streeting, who was one of the most senior opponents of the legislation, posted a lengthy message on his Facebook page explaining why he voted against the legislation."

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

They're also a very good example of how there are many MPs who - when not cowed by the party whip or overly concerned with ambition - are actually reasonable people who want to do what they believe to be the right thing for their constituents.

Unfortunately, they're also a very good example of how Parliamentary schedules need to be reformed, and how 'but we've always done it this way' really isn't an appropriate reason for giving such limited time to incredibly important and complex decisions.

(Having an already very limited time for abortion debate reduced further in order to hold a vote on penalties for fly tipping - a vote that was certain to end in defeat for the amendment - is clearly not serving the country's interests. And that's not to say fly tipping is unimportant. Of course fly tipping matters. But, you know, bit of common sense, bit of proportion wouldn't go amiss.)

in reply to RolloTreadway

Another thing I'd like to add, having thought about this:

It is a very good thing that we have this convention of ethical decisions being removed from the party whips. Many countries do not have that. Many countries make such issues explicitly a matter of party policy.

We should recognise that this is a rare and noble thing, and should fight to retain it.

From your piece:

Hmm, that “necessary” is doing a lot of work.

While I’m uncomfortable with tools that accept malformed XML, I’m categorically against tools that emit it. Nobody should use such tools for anything.

A Magnífico Photography composition of the Cosmos superbly captured

Helix Nebula from CFHT
apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180103.ht…

#NASA #space #Cosmos #Photography #Physics #Chemistry

in reply to Radio Azureus

The image displays a vibrant and colorful depiction of the Helix Nebula, captured by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The nebula is characterized by its bright green and pink hues, with a central white region, set against a backdrop of numerous stars. The text at the bottom of the image provides information about the Helix Nebula, including its designation as NGC 7293, its location in the constellation Aquarius, and its distance of approximately 700 light-years from Earth. The image credit is given to CFHT, Coelum, MegaCam, J.-C. Cuillandre, and G. A. Anselmi. The explanation section discusses the nebula's formation as a planetary nebula, resulting from the end of a Sun-like star's life, and how the central star's energy causes the expelled gas to fluoresce. The image also mentions that the picture was taken with the CFHT located atop a dormant volcano in Hawaii, USA. Additionally, the image includes a reference to "Free APOD Lectures" scheduled for January 5 in NYC and January 9.

Iran is still sending enough cheap drones on a suicide mission to deplete its anti-aircraft umbrella interceptors, and let the dry fuel missiles pass through undisturbed.

Iran was using many decoys to deceive the Israeli defense system.
It is no longer necessary to use so many, because they have already learned how it operates.

In a war, each side has a learning curve about the enemy's combat methods and defenses. Attacks become more economical in terms of materials to achieve the same effect.

I'd rather die trying than give up and we all die.”

The image shows a calico cat standing on a paved surface, looking towards the camera with its mouth open, possibly meowing. The cat has a mix of black, orange, and white fur. In the foreground, there is a piece of paper with the text "Have you seen Tinks?" and an image of a calico cat lying on grass, which appears to be the same cat as the one standing. The paper is placed on the ground, partially covering the cat's reflection. The background is a simple asphalt surface with a manhole cover visible in the top right corner.

Many times throughout my life, what would seem like a reasonably easy question to answer has changed dramatically.

30 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way that they could store a meaningful amount of data about everyone.

20 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way they could have the contents of every phone call It's just targeted it's not a big deal

We are the point now, where everything you ever wrote or said could be thrown into a model with such unimaginable levels of lossy compression that they could simply ask it if you are the kind of person who is into whatever the future administration deems as unacceptable and deny you access to things. All you need is a fascist regime or a dictatorship installed and all of a sudden anything you ever did can be used as grounds to lock you up.

On a governmental budget it wouldn't even be that expensive and we're just at the beginning of this.

We have seen that governments can change quickly, We know the data collection is affordable and can be permanent.

Certainly some people privacy-minded to the point of compulsion. But I can't say that anyone is wrong to seek extreme levels of privacy based on trends and capabilities.

They leave your cell phone at home and make sure somebody opens your apps and uses them people aren't anywhere near as crazy as they used to sound
