The image depicts a fantasy scene featuring a female warrior riding a large bird-like creature. The warrior is dressed in detailed, medieval-style armor, including a breastplate, gauntlets, and a helmet with a crest. She holds a long spear with a pointed tip, suggesting readiness for battle. Her long, flowing hair is caught in motion, indicating movement. The bird, with a prominent beak and large eye, appears to be a hybrid creature, possibly a parrot or eagle, with feathers detailed in the sketch. The background is a textured, parchment-like paper with a sepia tone, enhancing the medieval and fantasy theme. The top right corner features the text "Wayfinder: The Roleplaying Game," and the bottom left corner has the word "Geotoloy." The overall composition is framed with ornate borders, adding to the artwork's medieval aesthetic.

RIFLESSIONI SULLA VIOLENZA
Il 5 ottobre 2024 abbiamo aderito a Roma alla manifestazione nazionale
per la Palestina, chiamata da Giovani Palestinesi Italiani, Unione Democratica Arabo Palestinese e Associazione dei palestinesi in Italia, contro il genocidio della popolazione palestinese e per denunciare
lo Stato sionista d’Israele.

Vi chiediamo di prendere un po' di tempo per leggere tutte le slide poiché riteniamo questo tema estremamente importante.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with a central figure standing in the foreground. The character is a woman with a distinctive hairstyle, featuring a mohawk and shaved sides, wearing a red long-sleeved uniform with a high collar and a patch on the left arm. She has a white mask covering her eyes, adding to her futuristic appearance. She is holding a large, futuristic-looking gun with both hands, suggesting a role as a soldier or security personnel.
In the background, there is a vast, open landscape with a clear blue sky. Several large, disc-shaped spacecraft are visible, hovering above the ground, indicating advanced technology. The setting appears to be a futuristic city or spaceport, with various structures and buildings in the distance, including a large, dome-shaped building with a prominent circular feature on top. The overall color palette is dominated by blues, reds, and grays, contributing to the science fiction aesthetic.

Quest'anno è il decennale della scomparsa di Tanith Lee, scrittrice britannica di narrativa fantastica estremamente prolifica e versatile, purtroppo mai entrata nel mainstream (quell'infame di Gaiman la indicava come suo modello quando era un autore underground, poi "casualmente" ha smesso di dirlo).

I mean seriously… what did they expect from an AI owned by a sig-heiling Nazi.
“The year is 2025, and an AI model belonging to the richest man in the world has turned into a neo-Nazi.”
For the media’s next trick they will be surprised when the new political party owned by a Nazi billionaire calls itself a “workers party” but hates communists and socialists alike.

Celebrating
One of the holocaust denial arguments (thanks to Lemmy reposting of grok) is that there was no confirmed written order linking Hitler to it. He might have been just "passively" instigating/inflaming his cabinet/generals into a final solution conference. We still think he celebrated it.
The Grok solution is to genocide those who celebrate the tiny silver lining in diminishing the chances of (near) future genocides.

Es gibt keinen Angriff von Putin oder Russland. Solche Argumente werden sich vielleicht ausgedacht oder zum „manufacturing consent”¹ verwendet, aber mehr als ein Mittel zum Zweck ist diese Narrative nicht. Die russische Armee ist nichtmal die stärkste Armee in der Ukraine. Das Deutschland und Europa hier und jetzt aufrüsten, währenddessen in gesamt Europa der Faschismus im Aufmarsch ist, ist kein Zufall, sondern genau das Ziel: die kommenden Regime sollen doch Spielzeuge zum spielen haben.
