Seeing war through the lens of narcissism
We usually think of narcissism as a personal flaw — a grandiose ego, a craving for attention, a lack of empathy.Dr. Gary E Myers (The Kyiv Independent)

Switching pip to uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App
Switching from pip to uv in Dockerized Flask or Django apps results in about a 10x faster dependency installation and introduces robust, lockfile-based dependency management, improving both speed and reliability.

Socialists consider abstention in von der Leyen no-confidence vote
The socialists have had enough: they do not want to bring down the EU executive for at least two reasons. One is the need to have a fully operational EU at a time of great uncertainty and instability. The other is not wanting to vote with the right.

Geneva Convention
Article 49 - Deportations, transfers, evacuations
ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-…
The ONLY way we are going to fight this now is to back our arguments up with links to legal texts etc, That way should any authority try and silence us, we simply quote legally binding international conventions.
It will also help any defence lawyers with our cases.
If people can't get on the streets to protest, we can fight in the Hague, there are enough of us, more than enough evidence and multiple bodies arguing what is going on is Genocide.
We can no longer use the Self defense argument, too many people have died.
If you mugged me in the street, I would not be permitted to come round your house, massacre you WHOLE family, blow your house up and argue this is self defence, even an argument of proportionate would NOT work in a court of law.
I think under Islamic shiria law , ther IS eye for an eye, from my understanding and reading about application the punishment fits the crime, e.g you break someones leg, the court orders your leg to be broken. (hence the name)
I am NOT lawyer.

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

Ma ha fatto proprio due gocce di numero.
Oggi, le piante hanno ringraziato così:
L'immagine mostra un gruppo di zucchine verdi fresche disposte su un asciugamano rosa. Ci sono dieci zucchine in totale, disposte in due file. Le zucchine hanno una superficie liscia e lucida, con una colorazione verde scuro e alcune venature più chiare. Sono posizionate su un asciugamano rosa che copre una superficie di marmo con un motivo mottato. In alto a destra, c'è un bicchiere di vetro rovesciato. L'immagine suggerisce che le zucchine siano state recentemente lavate e stanno asciugando.

How did “imported antisemitism”, a far-right anti-immigrant buzz phrase, make it into the political mainstream? After all, Germans didn’t exactly need to import antisemitism. But this is the way we see it in Germany: if you haven’t committed genocide you can’t properly claim to be against it. I’m not making this up. You couldn’t make it up. Indeed, the political scientist Esra Özyürek discusses the belief in her excellent 2023 book Subcontractors of Guilt.
The thinking behind it is that because of our history, we teach the next generation to make sure it will never happen again. At school we studied the Holocaust every year. We didn’t learn to analyse antisemitism, but we learned to be very wary of it – or as the writer Max Czollek put it: “Today Germans know mainly one thing about Jews: that they killed them.”
Immigrants to Germany need to know a bit more than that if they want to become German citizens. They need to know when the state of Israel was founded, and who is allowed to become a member of one of the 40 Maccabi sports clubs. If you’re not born in Germany you have to prove you’re not antisemitic by learning facts about Jewish people.
But even if you were born here, like me, the statistics still refer to you as an immigrant if one of your parents comes from a different country. And as such, you are viewed with suspicion when it comes to the antisemitism you may have “imported”. During the last election, Merz suggested revoking German citizenship from dual nationals if they committed a crime. When asked if that meant, for example, getting on a bus without a ticket, he made it clear it related to antisemitism.
However, antisemitism is not a criminal offence in German law, so we see it everywhere. Jews have been arrested for holding up signs reading “Jews against genocide”. An Irish protester was arrested in Berlin for speaking Irish at a demonstration for Palestine because the authorities did not have an Irish translator present to check if they were “importing antisemitism” too. This has gone so far that the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner has reprimanded Germany for criminalising protest against the war in Gaza – including curtailing the use of Arabic at protests. In the end Merz didn’t get his way, but he drove the message home: Germans like me with foreign heritage are Germans on trial.

#Listening to Sakhalin, a 2010 album by Oki Dub Ainu Band, which;
"... features Tonkori, the traditional stringed instrument of the Karafuto Ainu in a band setting with drums, bass, keyboard and heavy dub sound."
okidub.bandcamp.com/album/sakh…
I presume some of the songs, like Bekabeka, are in an Ainu language too. Like a blend of Japanese and Pacific triangle languages, maybe even a little like some South American languages I've heard bits of.
#music #Japan #Ainu #jazz #OkiDubAinuBand
Like everyone, I have favourite albums that I listen to again and again. But it's not often I finish listening to a new album, and then immediately put it on again. I think Oki Dub Ainu Band, is going to be one of those favourites I keep coming back to.
Still got the Utarhythm album to listen to as well!
