I wish it didn't need saying, but it does:
"Are you willing to be killed for your own government’s sins? Are you willing to have your house destroyed and your child hit by shrapnel and your elderly parents lose access to medicine because of the policies of the latest president? If that seems unfair for you, it is unfair for anyone, anywhere. From this perspective, it is easy to see that the hurdle that a war must clear to be truly moral is so high that it stretches up into the clouds. Grounding ourselves in this perspective—always holding people, and their right to live, in the forefront of our minds—is the only way to make clear judgments about what our own government does with its killing machines." hamiltonnolan.com/p/nations-ar…

Geoingegneria per gestire il clima? - Sbilanciamoci - L’economia com’è e come può essere. Per un’Italia capace di futuro
Il riscaldamento globale accelera, aumentano di frequenza e intensità gli eventi estremi. Senza una reale de-carbonizzazione, nell’attuale business as usual, si fanno avanti progetti di geo ingegneria climatica per ridurre le emissioni di gas serra.Rachele Gonnelli (Sbilanciamoci - L’economia com’è e come può essere.

Explosions were reported near a #US #military #base in #Qatar Monday after #Iran vows to retaliate for #Trump’s assault on #nuclear sites. The development coincided with a warning from the US #Embassy in Qatar’s capital, #Doha, urging American citizens there to shelter in place. Qatar’s govt on Monday also closed its airspace & suspended flights as a “precautionary measure” while the #MiddleEast braces for a potential expansion of the fighting between #Israel & Iran.
#Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson told reporters that he did not support efforts to require Congress to vote on authorizing the use of #military force in #Iran. “The *Commander Chief* has Article II responsibilities. They’re very serious & important, especially in times like this. I think he used that authority judiciously,” he said. He dismissed efforts to limit that authority as “all politics.”

Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers
- Hours after the US airstrike on Iranian territory, Iranian-backed hackers took down US President Donald Trump’s social media platform.
- Users were struggling to access Truth Social in the early morning following the alleged hack.
- As the US continues to insert itself into the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, the US government believes more cyberattacks could happen.

I chatted with Philippe Ombredanne about Package URLs, or PURLs. He created them, so he knows a thing or two.
We do complain about CPE quite a bit 😀
But it's a really hard problem. It feels like a package identifier should be easy, but it's way harder than you think it is. There's nobody better than Philippe to drop some knowledge.

This story is a window into the difference between Europe and America. A Microsoft employee was laid off in Denmark but due to employee protection laws, they have 6-months on the payroll and 3 months severance.
So this employee keeps going to work since they’re getting paid even though they’re officially unemployed.
Contrast this to America where people were cut off immediately after a 1-on-1 with their manager where they learned they’d been laid off without severance.

Unlike the Green Party of England & Wales, the Scottish Greens recognise the deeply problematic proposal to proscribe Palestine Action, and its threat to democratic rights of protest.
It would be good of 'our' green party (I'm typing this in NW England) would do the same.

@rzeta0 No official statement from the Party proper, but Caroline Lucas has Retweeted Liberty's condemnation of the proscription, and Zack Polanski has also been very vocal on this matter.
I haven't been looking at the current leadership so I don't know if they have or haven't said anything.
