植民地支配の歴史への向き合い方について、基本的だけど大切なことが述べられている良いインタビューだと思いました。

なお、記事に付けられている佐藤優のカスコメントは読み飛ばし推奨です。
>「英国にせよ日本にせよ、帝国が植民地を統治するにあたって現地でインフラや教育・医療施設を整備した例は確かに見いだせます。しかし、整備したのは植民地からの収奪をより効率的に行うためであって、支配される側の人々の生活を向上させることが主な目的ではありませんでした」

>――たとえ目的が帝国の利益のためであったとしても、現地の人々の側にも「少しは」良いことがあったはずだ、と主張する人もいるかもしれません。

>「歴史上の出来事には多くの場合、ある種の両義性があります。『悪い出来事』が『良い効果』を持った例が珍しくないのです」

#Israel is committing #Nazi level attrocities in #Gaza.
#Trump is running fast to catch up.
In the UK little is said about this because the BBC is rolling on its back asking for tummy rubs, and so called representatives made it a territorist offence to *protest* about #KierStarmer 's support for #genocide.
The reason is that tax avoiding billionaires say and do what they want, are above the law, and politicians are only in it for themselves or refuse to recognise this reality.

mattonando gli acquisti ma non con troppi soldini
Qualche attimo fa, pur di non andare a dormire ad un orario giusto, stavo cercando mattoni economici online… per costruzioni, non lo so, per commettere Minecraft nella vita reale… e sono stata alquanto delusa. Ok, no, sto scherzando… ma su Amazon ho trovato letteralmente 1 solo prodotto che rispecchiasse il mio desiderio pienamente, ed è estremamente costoso (come tra l’altro suggerisce l’unica recensione con acquisto verificato, che però comunque li valuta a 4 stelle per la qualità); cioè, regà, 33 euro per 10 mattoni non è cosa, nonostante la spedizione gratuita. Quindi, via subito sull’altro sito. 🇨🇳🐉
Allora, su AliExpress, invece, di mattoni non ne trovo affatto (magari sarà eccessivamente costoso spedirli dalla Cina?). Grande amarezza, ma in compenso ho trovato qualcosa di meglio: taccuini a forma di mattone… taccuini da 640 pagine!!! Sono subito saltata, perché è assurdo che qualcuno abbia anche solo mai potuto immaginare un prodotto del genere; figurarsi averlo messo sul mercato, e per giunta con un’estetica così carina e invitante! Sapete perfettamente cosa sto per dire a questo punto… è a tutti gli effetti un fottutissimo tomo (o, “sembra un piccolo libro”, direbbe la gente posh nelle recensioni). No però, oh, sul serio, è incredibile… sospetto un po’ scomodo da usare, perché è un A6, quindi con ben 320 fogli si terrà un botto alto dalla superficie di scrittura, e la mano finirà quindi schiacciata nello spigolo… ma chi lo ha comprato è molto contento; ha una media di 4,9 stelle questo affare. E navigando se ne trovano anche altri, persino A4, sempre con questo magico numero di 320 fogli (…non di più, per qualche motivo), anche se meno bellini e con carta in genere più sottile! 😤🤯
Come mattoncino, comunque, questo quadernino andrebbe più che bene… è vero che è fatto di alberi anziché di laterizio, ma tanto comunque io fin dal principio non sono in condizione di rispettare il codice edilizio, e quindi, che uso i mattoni, o che uso i quaderni spessi, non cambia alla fine della fiera assolutamente nulla; in entrambi i casi, o quello che andrò a realizzare crollerà da solo in poco tempo, o comunque arriveranno le forze dell’ordine a mettere i sigilli… ma quello che importa è avere la mentalità giusta, e ricordare che il gioco è bello proprio finché dura poco. (Specialmente per quanto riguarda le costruzioni; questo è stato inculcato a forza nella mente di ogni bambino fin dalla prima infanzia, andando a generare non pochi microtraumi…) 🥰…Il motivo per cui non ho riempito il carrello con più unità di questo affare di quante un intero camion ne possa trasportare, allora, è che… a 12 fottuti euro per quaderno (visto che con lo sconto di benvenuto ne potrei prendere solo uno a 86 centesimi, ma il resto si paga intero), è ancora peggio dei mattoni veri. E, a questo punto, visto che sono pur sempre molto tirchia, vado a scavare un po’ di pietra in miniera, così già che ci sono risolvo anche l’altro mio problema (detto “mine-yearning“)… e, forse, mi restano soldi per corrompere eventuali autorità che verranno a distruggere i miei sogni. 😳🙏

Our dog *HATES* having her claws trimmed, to the point that we almost never do it because she fights it so hard she could easily hurt us or herself by accident. So one bucket lid, some industrial strength Velcro, and a pack of Velcro backed drywall sandpaper pads later: puppy nail file!
I need to get some rubber feet for it, or something, so that it won’t move around as she scratches it, but even if we need to hold it in place for her (which might actually be easier as we train her to use it), it will be a huge improvement over trying to use the clippers.
The image shows a blue plastic lid and a circular sanding pad placed on a wooden surface. The blue lid has a circular shape with a central raised area and four black rectangular pads attached to its underside, likely for grip or protection. The sanding pad is round, dark gray, and appears to have a coarse texture suitable for sanding. The wooden surface has visible grain patterns and some minor scratches, indicating it is a workbench or similar surface.

The image depicts a serene park scene with a body of water in the foreground. The water is calm, reflecting the surrounding greenery. On the grassy bank, a bird, possibly a heron, stands near the water's edge, facing away from the camera. The grass is lush and green, with a few patches of brown, indicating a well-maintained area. In the background, there is a parking lot with several cars, including a white van and a black SUV, parked along the side. Trees with dense foliage provide shade, and their branches extend into the frame, adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, with the natural elements contrasting against the urban setting.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a futuristic cityscape with towering, densely packed buildings that create a labyrinthine urban environment. The scene is dominated by a greenish-blue hue, giving it a cyberpunk aesthetic. In the foreground, a woman with a helmet and advanced gear stands prominently, facing away from the viewer. She is part of a group of similarly equipped individuals, suggesting a setting of high-tech society. The background features a multitude of illuminated signs and screens, adding to the urban atmosphere. The architecture is complex, with various levels and structures stacked upon each other, creating a sense of depth and scale. The overall composition conveys a sense of a bustling, technologically advanced metropolis.
