It was raining hard in Tokyo when the Botswana men’s 4x400m relay team made history on Sunday, claiming gold at the World Athletics Championships and stunning the sprinting community.
Victory in those conditions felt especially auspicious. It rains so little in Botswana that the country’s people revere precipitation. The Setswana word for rain – pula – also means wealth or blessing, and lends its name to the country’s currency. continent.substack.com/p/world…

I can't help feeling that any 'peace deal' for #Gaza supported by Cooper and Trump, and making Tony #Blair interim governor, will be a permanent stain on the conscience of the world.
#Palestine needs to be restored within its 1949 borders and given extremely firm security guarantees by the EU and NATO, or else a single secular unitary state needs to be established from the river to the sea in which every adult has a vote and wealth is redistributed.

George Galloway stopped by counter-terror police at Gatwick after ‘returning from Moscow’
George Galloway, former Labour MP and leader of the Workers Party of Britain (Phil Noble, Reuters)
Former MP George Galloway was detained by counter-terrorism police at Gatwick airport on Saturday, after reportedly returning from Russia.
Officers from the Met’s Terrorism Command intercepted the 71-year-old politician and his wife, Putri Gayatri Pertiwi, 40, before releasing them shortly after.
The pair were returning to the UK from Moscow via Abu Dhabi, according to reports.
Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain, which Pertiwi is deputy chair of, claimed the detention was ‘politically motivated intimidation’.

The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act allows police to stop, question, search and detain people at ports and borders to determine if they have engaged in ‘hostile activity’.
In May, Mr Galloway travelled to Moscow to attend Russia’s Victory Parade. Days earlier, he had been in Iran to receive an award.
That award was named in honour of Ismail Haniyeh, the former political leader of Hamas, who was killed by Israel in July 2024.
According to The Herald, he had arrived into Gatwick from Moscow via Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Galloway was formerly a Labour MP, but was from the party after falling out with then-PM Tony Blair over the Iraq war (Getty Images)
Galloway first entered Parliament in 1987, winning the Glasgow Hillhead seat for Labour.
He was expelled from the party in 2003 after a clash with then-prime minister Tony Blair over the UK’s role in the Iraq war.
Galloway later sat as an independent before joining the Respect Party, which campaigned against the conflict.
His most recent return to Parliament was in 2024 after winning the Rochdale by-election, which then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called ‘beyond alarming’. Galloway lost the seat later that year in the General Election.
While sitting as an MP in 2006, he also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and was widely mocked over footage in which he pretended to be a cat.
The Met was approached for comment.
A spokesperson previously told the Herald Scotland: ‘We can confirm that on Saturday, 27 September counter terrorism officers at Gatwick Airport stopped a man in his 70s and a woman in her 40s under Schedule 3 of the Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019.
‘Neither of them were arrested and they were allowed on their way.’

Designing participation
Sampsa Hyysalo‘s latest book is published! And it’s open access: find it here link.springer.com/book/10.1007….
Sampsa argues that there have long been manifestos and declarations imploring design to be responsible and relevant, stressing the importance of moving beyond narrow commercial interests and beyond the idea of design as simply problem solving. Yet the demands on designers to make positive social and environmental change may easily become too unrealistic. Rather than finding themselves needing to become social scientists, psychologists or systems analysts themselves, Sampsa presents a path of design participation, which shifts design towards developing ways by which others can define and solve problems – and together with social scientists, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and so on.
Through eight chapters, we are led through real examples and what they tell us about design participation: what design work is done in co-design workshops, who participates when paying attention to participation mixes, design in long timeframes as design-in-use, the varieties of designer-user configurations, and the various contexts of design for sustainability transitions and energy transitions. Andrea Botero and I contributed to chapter 3 on what we learn from designers working with people actively engaged in design, through design-in-use, as well as learning from people designing for themselves, such as open design makers and hackers.

Als Radikalismus bezeichnet man eine politische Einstellung, die grundlegende Veränderungen
an einer herrschenden Gesellschaftsordnung anstrebt. Das Adjektiv „radikal“ ist vom lateinischen
radix (Wurzel) abgeleitet und beschreibt das Bestreben, gesellschaftliche und politische Probleme
„an der Wurzel“ zu greifen und von dort aus möglichst umfassend, vollständig und nachhaltig zu
lösen.
Der Begriff „Radikalismus“ stammt ursprünglich aus der liberalen Freiheits- und Demokratiebewegung
des 19. Jahrhunderts und stand lange Zeit als politischer Richtungsbegriff für die bürgerliche Linke
(das linksliberale politische Spektrum). Die radikalen Demokraten traten für das allgemeine Wahlrecht,
eine konsequente Entmachtung der Kirche und die Republik als Staatsform ein. Besonders in
romanischen Ländern (etwa Frankreich und Italien) steht die Bezeichnung auch heute noch für
linksliberale und radikaldemokratische Parteien.
Ich stelle fest: Ich bin ganz sicher kein Extremist, aber ein Radikaler. 😉

Der neue Reaktionär - Curtis Yarvin und die Versuchung der smarten Tyrannei
Quelle: dlf.de
"Curtis Yarvin träumt vom Ende der Demokratie und einem amerikanischen Autokraten. Seine autoritären Ideen treffen den Nerv einer erschöpften Zeit und begeistern rechte Eliten wie Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel oder US-Vizepräsident J.D. Vance."
"In den schattigen Zwischenzonen des Internets, wo Silicon-Valley-Idealismus auf postdemokratischen Zynismus trifft, hat sich ein Denker etabliert, der wie kaum ein anderer den Zeitgeist der rechten Intelligenzija prägt – Curtis Yarvin, dessen Karriere unter dem Pseudonym Mencius Moldbug begann."

Also.
Fun fact.
As people might know, I maintain "pypandoc".
But did you know, that 'pypandoc' actually have 2 packages on PyPI?
The regular 'pypandoc' package that people typically install.
And then it also has 'pypandoc_binary' which comes with a version of pandoc packaged - so you can get started right away.
pypandoc_binary, for the first month, just surpassed 1.000.000 downloads in the last 30 days.
That's amazing news.
That means, that the total pypandoc project has been downloaded over 4.500.000 times over the last month.
That's amazing - I'm so honored.

If this is the price to be paid for an idea, then let us pay. There is no need of being troubled about it, afraid, or ashamed. This is the time to boldly say, "Yes, I believe in the displacement of this system of injustice by a just one; I believe in the end of starvation, exposure, and the crimes caused by them."

«Allo stesso tempo occorre mettere in evidenza come lo stesso tipo di attenzione negli Stati Uniti sia spesso mancato nei confronti di altre aziende. La Apple, ad esempio, dal 2010 è sotto la lente di ingrandimento per le condizioni dei lavoratori nella fabbrica Foxconn che ne produce smartphone e tablet. L’ultima indagine in ordine di tempo è stata condotta da un’ONG China Labor Watch (non un articolo di giornale) e riguarda l’iPhone 17 uscito negli ultimi giorni, in cui vengono denunciate gravi violazioni dei diritti dei lavoratori».
