"Now more lives are on the line. When Casey Goonan, the only political prisoner in the US from the 2024 student intifada, heard about Hoxha's hunger strike on 26 August, they and their cellmate at Santa Rita jail immediately declared a hunger strike in solidarity with Hoxha until her demands are met, internationalizing the strike. Refusing to intake food is especially risky for Casey as a diabetic, but they have organized successful collective hunger strikes in the past."

Oh my LORD. Patrick Braxton is a Black man who was elected mayor of Newbern, #Alabama in 2020, the first time the majority Black residents were actually allowed to vote. Yes, you read that right. He only served a year before unelected white officials once again tried to bar him from serving. He had to fight a court battle, and he just got reelected in a landslide.
If he and his community overcame monarchy, we sure as hell can.

I always say homophobia is the fear to be a homosexual which results in violence against gay people. It is not being afraid of gays. But the gays are the trigger.
A study from 1996 I just found supports my theory: Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?
Answer: yes.

Per 10-anni-me questa è stata una scoperta pazzesca.
Le galline erano una cosa estremamente familiare, gironzolavano per il parco (riconvertito a orto) della villa (riconvertita in appartamenti in affitto) che era casa mia.
Improvvisamente sono diventate una cosa di alto interesse scientifico e fonte di speculazioni: ma il mondo è come lo vedo io o come lo vede la gallina?
Credo che sia stato esattamente il momento che mi ha fatto capire come le cose possano essere relative e come gli assoluti siano spesso molto meno assoluti di quel che si pensa.
Per esempio se ne può dedurre che la percezione della realtà non è la stessa cosa della realtà.
Assumendo (per non finire nel solipsismo) che la realtà esiste, essa esiste separatamente dalla percezione che io ne ho.
E la percezione che io ho della realtà è influenzata dalla mia capacità di percepirla, non solo fisica ma anche culturale.
E quindi?
E quindi tante cose...
Una per esempio è il fatto che tendo a non dire "è vero" o "è falso" sugli argomenti di cui ancora non è stata incontrovertibilmente provata la verità o falsità (e anche in questo caso con cautela, perché nella storia l'incontrovertibile è stato spesso controvertito).
Per esempio sono agnosticə, non credo che esista una qualche divinità, ma non so per certo se esista o meno...
però ho scelto di credere che esistono i folletti: non ho una prova sul fatto che non esistono e mi piace l'idea che esistano.
Questo mette la fede in prospettiva no?
Ci sarebbe parecchio da scrivere.
Ci aggiungo solo una postilla: quanto assurdamente umanocentrico (antropocentrico) è il fatto che si pensi che il soprannaturale o il divino esistano in funzione dell'umano? Che queste entità, infinite, potentissime, estranee, universali, possano intervenire a cambiare la realtà in funzione dei nostri bisogni?
Pazzesco no?
Se io accendo una candela nel modo giusto DIO mi risponde.
Mah...
Vabbè, sulle galline è tutto per oggi.
Buongiorno mondo (reale?) ☕

That is actually a relatively mild solution that makes the age verification almost bearable...
...which is terrible, because age verification as a whole is a terrible concept. Would have been nice if a big player like Steam is working against it, but I also never expected they would, they are commercial after all.

L'immagine ritrae un'ambientazione storica, probabilmente in un cortile di un castello o di un palazzo medievale. In primo piano, una figura vestita con un abito rosso e un copricapo rosso si trova al centro del cortile, con le spalle rivolte verso l'osservatore. Sullo sfondo, un gruppo di persone in abiti medievali è seduto a un tavolo coperto da un drappo rosso, suggerendo un'atmosfera di corte o di evento formale. A destra, un'altra figura in abiti scuri, con un cappuccio, osserva la scena. La luce proietta ombre lunghe sul pavimento di pietra, creando un'atmosfera solenne e storica. Sullo sfondo, una parete di pietra con un arco e una finestra è illuminata da una luce calda, aggiungendo un tocco di autenticità all'immagine.

As Nesrine Malik sets out, the problem with trying to 'solve' the 'problem' of immigration is that for the anti-immigration crowd, no policy is enough; any success just prompts the moving of the goal posts & demanding a different set of responses.
By acquiescing to their demands the political class just embolden the extremists to demand more.
Now's the time to say enough is enough & for our political class to lead and change the narrative, not merely follow

What really makes me angry as a Brit is that a small group of loudmouthed violent lying scum are being allowed and assisted to destroy life in England.
Starmer makes me want to scream, an island of strangers, talk like that triggered riots in the town I grew up next to. Leamington Spa.
The shitty white supremacist scum made it impossible to visit Indian and Pakistani areas, areas where people were Hard working, integrated and previously welcoming. Deport shit like Farage....
- and what's extra frustrating is that it's so easy to stop; just ask Them™️ what problem they're actually proposing to solve, then produce the reams of evidence that ALWAYS, ALWAYS exist that their "problem" doesn't exist & even if it did, the thing they want wouldn't solve it & even if it did, the solution wouldn't be desirable.
The reason they keep getting their way is that nobody challenges them in the slightest on basic factuality & practicality.
Blog Serge: Zoek (toch) de randjes
We lijken te leven in een tijd waarin voortdurend de randjes gezocht worden. De aanhoudende dreigementen van Trump, Israël-Gaza, Rusland-Oekraïne, NSC dat uit het demissionaire kabinet stapt, en of het dan nu echt gaat lukken om vrouwen met rust te laten op straat.
De afgelopen zomervakantie heeft het me bewust en onbewust veel bezig gehouden. Vooral hoe ik me ertoe verhoud. Kan ik – als ik heel hard mijn best doe – begrijpen en invoelen waarom een Trump zo te werk te gaat? Kan ik de ongelofelijke wederzijdse haat van de landen die in oorlog zijn met elkaar voorstellen. Zo zeer dat je op het punt komt dat dehumaniseert?
Meestal kwam ik niet verder dan het besef dat dat al deze actoren op een zeker moment hebben besloten het eigen narratief als de enige en absolute waarheid te beschouwen. Wetend ook wat de kracht van herhaling kan doen met een populatie. En zo wordt steeds een stapje verder gezet. ‘Kom ik hier ook mee weg?’ De rand weer iets verlegd.
En ik realiseerde me dat het steeds blijft neerkomen op het simpelweg zijn van de verandering die je wilt zien. Ofwel: vredelievendheid cultiveren, kwetsbaarheid aanmoedigen, behulpzaam en respectvol naar elkaar zijn. En ja, dat wordt je soms in het dagelijks leven in allerlei dagelijkse niet noemenswaardige situaties soms al lastig genoeg gemaakt. Zo blijkt mijn vredelievendheid toch heel ver te zoeken als iemand in het verkeer mij door zijn weggedrag in gevaar brengt.
Maar aan de start van dit nieuwe collegejaar, wil ik alle studenten en collega’s toch vooral aanmoedigen om de randjes op te zoeken. Met dit verschil: blijf in verbinding, reflecteer op je acties en sta open voor feedback en andere perspectieven. Precies waar het op globaal niveau zo vaak aan schort. Want aan en net buiten die randjes vind je inspiratie, groei, innovatie en wezenlijke inzichten. Daar is het spannend, daar wordt geschiedenis geschreven. Of het nu die van jouw persoonlijke ontwikkeling is of binnen een vakgebied.
Laatst hoorde ik het komiek John Cleese heel mooi uitleggen toen hij het over playfulness (speelsheid/nieuwsgierigheid) en creativiteit had. Dat ontstaat pas als alles een optie mag zijn. Als de randen (even) worden losgelaten en we niet meer oordelen en denken in termen van goed, fout of falen. Ik herken die momenten zelf als flow en ze horen bij de mooiste en gelukkigste momenten in mijn leven.
Zoek de randjes, groei en geniet ervan!

My very own Game Boy Micro.
The smallest Game Boy ever made—and my favourite. It’s got a bright backlight, the sharpest pixel density of any Game Boy, and swappable faceplates for good measure. The design even echoes an NES controller.
People with big hands complain. I don’t. It fits me perfectly.
And here’s the kicker: this little thing can do what a Switch never will—slip into a pocket without a fight.

Wie journalisten doodt, kan de waarheid niet aan
NRC (€)
De tweetrapsaanval – een bom en daarna nog een bom op de toegesnelde hulpverleners – is een beproefde tactiek onder militanten. De Taliban bedienden zich er graag van, evenals Islamitische Staat in Irak. Het is een tactiek voor wie lak heeft aan de regels van oorlog, waaronder proportionaliteit, het vermijden van burgerdoelen en de respectvolle behandeling van doden en gewonden. En niet voor de strijdmacht van een democratisch gekozen regering die bij hoog en bij laag beweert zich aan het internationaal recht te houden. Niet voor Israël. (...)
(Tekst loopt door onder het logo.)
De situatie is al lange tijd onverteerbaar. Gaza is de dodelijkste oorlog voor journalisten sinds 1992, het jaar waarin het Committee to Protect Journalists begon de aantallen wereldwijd bij te houden. Israël houdt bovendien negentig journalisten gevangen. (...)
Met het zwart op de voorpagina en de website van vandaag benadrukt NRC, samen met talloze andere media wereldwijd en de organisatie Reporters sans Frontières, dat journalisten in Gaza veilig moeten kunnen werken. Daarnaast moeten internationale journalisten vrije toegang krijgen tot het gebied.
Media-organisaties hebben geen middelen om bescherming en toegang af te dwingen, wat deze oproep een machteloze indruk geeft. Die zou dan ook niet nodig moeten zijn. Een regering die het internationaal recht volgt heeft niets te verbergen en kan geen bezwaar aanvoeren tegen een vrije pers, laat staan dat zij journalisten mag doden. Netanyahu moet journalisten niet alleen beschermen, hij zou het uit overtuiging moeten doen.
