Uh ho. Us Green councillors at SDC are in a tight spot. People have complained about Dale Vince and his draping the Ecotricity HQ in the the Palestinan flag.
A statement’s been put out and the Green Party stressed it had no option but to police planning regulations as required by legislation – but that the leading group of councillors at Ebley Mill supports Ecotricity’s move.
The Council had received public complaints about the Ecotricity flag, so SDC officers were obliged to take advice on the matter. This confirmed that the Palestinian flag is not listed among those with automatic or deemed consent, because Palestine is not a state recognised by the UK Government (unlike in 147 of 193 UN Member States). As a result, the Council has had to invite Ecotricity to submit a planning application for the flag on its building.Unfortunately, this disappointing outcome is not a matter where political leadership can intervene: councillors, even those who are part of a council’s administration, have no influence over this aspect of planning policy – rightly so, as politics should be kept out of such planning decisions.
Regardless of the action SDC is required to take as Local Planning Authority under national legislation, the Green group of councillors and the rest of Stroud District Green Party support Ecotricity in the decision to display the Palestinian flag on their building.
The Ecotricity flag is a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and a protest against the violations of international law and the catastrophic violence being inflicted on them by the Israeli government. We join with Ecotricity in calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza and we share their support for all civilians caught up in the conflict. We will be writing to Dale Vince to express this support.
The Greens believe that this situation highlights the pressing need for the UK government to formally recognise the State of Palestine.
Recognising Palestine is a vital step towards justice, equality and a sustainable peace.
It demonstrates a commitment to international law and a balanced approach to the region.

Predator’s Pause
I originally thought the insect in this image was a dragonfly, but now I suspect it’s probably a grasshopper. Either way, it clearly caught the attention of this northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). They seem to be getting along quite well—though, to be fair, that’s probably only true from the mockingbird’s perspective.

Das Bild zeigt eine animierte Figur, die einem alten Mann mit einem langen weißen Bart und einem violetten Gewand mit goldenen Verzierungen ähnelt. Er sitzt an einem Tisch und hat beide Hände erhoben, als würde er sprechen oder eine Geste machen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus gotischen Fenstern mit kunstvollen Musterungen und massiven Holzvertäfelungen, was auf eine historische oder magische Umgebung hinweist. Die Figur hat eine ernste Miene und wirkt autoritär.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Lego-Animationsspiel, die an die Harry-Potter-Welt erinnert. Im Vordergrund stehen vier Lego-Figuren in einem gotischen Saal mit Steinmauern und einem Fenster im Hintergrund. Die Figuren tragen Schuluniformen mit einem grünen Wappen auf der Brust, was auf eine Schule für Zauberer hinweist. Von links nach rechts: eine Figur mit braunen Haaren, eine Figur mit roten Haaren, eine Figur mit schwarzen Haaren und Brille, und eine Figur mit roten Haaren, die sich von den anderen abwendet. Die Figuren stehen hinter einem steinernen Geländer, das den Saal trennt. Die Atmosphäre ist ernst und dramatisch, was auf eine wichtige Szene hinweist.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem großen, mittelalterlich gestalteten Saal, der von vielen Figuren mit unterschiedlichen Haarfarben und -stilen besetzt ist. Die Figuren sitzen an langen Holztischen, die in Reihen angeordnet sind, und tragen dunkle Roben. Die Saaldecke ist mit Fenstern ausgestattet, die Sonnenlicht hereinlassen, das die Steinfliesen des Bodens beleuchtet. An den Wänden hängen Laternen und Wappen, die dem Raum eine historische Atmosphäre verleihen. Im Vordergrund stehen einige Figuren, die auf eine Person am Ende des Saals blicken, die sich an einem Tisch befindet. Die Szene wirkt wie eine Versammlung oder ein Mahl in einem magischen oder fantastischen Kontext.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem LEGO-Film, die an Hogwarts aus dem Harry-Potter-Universum erinnert. Im Vordergrund steht ein LEGO-Figur mit grünem Umhang, der einen großen, gelben Hut hält. Der Hut ist ein Symbol für die Zugehörigkeit zu einer der vier Hogwarts-Schulen: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw oder Slytherin. Im Hintergrund sitzen mehrere LEGO-Figuren in schwarz-weißen Uniformen mit grünen Schleifen, die die Gryffindor-Schule repräsentieren. Diese Figuren sind in einer großen Halle versammelt, die mit Steinwänden und Tischen aus Holz eingerichtet ist. Die Atmosphäre wirkt ernst und erwartungsvoll, da die Figuren auf die Zuteilung zu einer der Hogwarts-Schulen warten. Die Szene ist detailliert und zeigt die Architektur und die Atmosphäre des Hogwarts-Schlosses.

Oh hey! Elements of Programming is now free because their publisher decided to stop printing them.
This is exciting and if you want to get an incredible introduction to type theory from first principles it's one of my more favorite texts on the subject. It does use C++ as it's reference language but you don't really need to know very much C++ in order to appreciate the text. IIRC it introduces what you need to know as it uses various features.

FEMA flood maps for Kerr County, TX showing the hazards for Camp Mystic (Hunt, TX). 😬
#TXwx #FEMA #floodmapping #GIS #disasters
@GhostOnTheHalfShell No - they were probably just being normal people and thinking the flood won't affect US.
It's exactly the quote attributed to Mike Tyson - everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Unfortunately, rolling the dice on a 1% annual probability works great for insurance, not so much for the humans and animals that get caught in the flood.
ALL of those FEMA maps will need some redrawing. If they can gerrymander voting districts they can redraw flood maps

- You underscore the transitory nature of platforms, protocols too. When I look back over my digital life in increments of 5 years, 90% of my tools, my expertise, my personal usage patterns—they all morph, fade, and/or enshittify rapidly as tech moves progressively out of The People's hands and into the service of capitalists. As your example shows, the Fediverse is far from immune to that "entropy by design."
Capitalism creates false communities and cultures to serve its fundamental growth and profit objectives. LLMs are ultimately tools of commercial interests. It makes total sense that organic human ventures are consistently a target for co-option. We are cadres of humans with eyeballs to monetize!
One of my core mottoes to live by is, "Enjoy it while it lasts." Nowhere is the principle of impermanence more evident then in technology.

It's a hard unsolved problem but of great value.
Easier on an anonymous #AutonomiDweb, but still unsolved. I think there are ways forward there which while not 'proof', could at least make it harder or more costly to operate fake humans at scale.
