Battle for Tibet (full documentary) | FRONTLINE




Last week, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese made headlines across the world for exposing the dozens of companies that she says have profited from Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Albanese’s UN report, ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide,’ goes beyond just the typical weapons-manufacturing culprits, and calls out financial institutions, educational institutions, and Big Tech companies.

They made computers behave like annoying salesmen | exotext


The population (especially the younger generation, who never seen a different kind of technology at all) is being conditioned by the tech industry to accept that software should behave like an unreliable, manipulative human rather than a precise, predictable machine. They're learning that you can't simply tell a computer "I'm not interested" and expect it to respect that choice. Instead, you must engage in a perpetual dance of "not now, please" - only to face the same prompts again and again.


The Israeli occupation has transferred Al Mayadeen's Palestine bureau chief, Nasser al-Lahham, from the Maskoubiye detention center to Ofer Prison, confirmed the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS).

Member of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, Omar Nazzal, said the Israeli interrogation of al-Lahham is focused on his work with Al Mayadeen TV.

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Berglandschaft bei Sonnenaufgang oder Sonnenuntergang. Im Vordergrund ist ein Metallzaun zu sehen, der die Perspektive begrenzt. Dahinter erstrecken sich die sanften Hügel und Berge, die in der Ferne von einer dichten Nebelschicht umhüllt werden. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und die Sonne scheint durch die Wolken, was einen warmen Glanz über die Szene wirft. Die Bäume im Vordergrund sind kahl, was auf die Jahreszeit Winter oder Frühling hinweist. Im Hintergrund ist ein kleiner Ort oder Dorf zu erkennen, der von den Bergen umgeben ist. Die gesamte Szene vermittelt eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre.

Is anyone keeping a list of the community-driven organisations nuked under this government? 3 more to add to the list;

OMG Tech: itp.nz/techblog/griffin-on-tec…

Evolve Peer Support Trust (Waikato): givealittle.co.nz/org/evolve-p…

TohaToha: linkedin.com/posts/tohatoha-nz…

That last was defunded by InternetNZ, but I suspect this was a result of them losing public funding and having to reduce their outgoings. Anyone know?

@byroncclark?

I think internetnz gets the bulk of their money from registry fees. Though their revenue from membership fees will have taken a jump this year. I'm afraid the defunding is prob related more to a difficult working relationship with the then new internetnz boss, Viv Maidaborn, than a loss of govt funding in 2022/23

I recognise the name from when I was hanging out with Loomio/ Enspiral folks. Is there a good writeup that covers both sides fairly? All I could find with a web search was behind Grampy Herald's paywall.

in reply to Strypey

Same, soz. But I do know that one of the people involved in Tohatoha was a former member of internetnz council and had challenged their systemic racism before resigning. Leading to the review that gives us the David Harvey activism. I can see that there are joint statements which implies a degree of common purpose, but I do suspect a degree of white fragility.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Tech politics has been a broad church for a long time, including a lot of sheltered, right-leaning men. I remember David Farrar (Mr KiwiBlog) on a panel at the only NetHui I've been to.

But in recent years a lot of pressure has built up on the fault lines between the factions. Responses to this govt can't really be neutral, so it's reaching breaking point in a lot of organisation.

Hopefully the moves to recognise kaupapa Māori in InternetNZ stick. I'll certainly be sticking my oar in to support that, at every opportunity.

in reply to Strypey

Speaking of Farrar, I see he's now gone full, unapologetic white supremacist. Publishing unthink pieces praising Orange Stalin, and complaining about the "MSM" and "TDS";

Here's another community organisation that's lost funding under this regime, this one a youth-focused support service. Supporting STEM education even!

"Ōtara Youth Hub, which E Tū Whānau had funded for the past three years, provided local rangatahi with a safe and creative environment for career support, music production, mentoring, and cultural activities, even enabling some young people to attend NASA Space Camp and the Dubai Expo."

It seems as though the criticism around the BBC’s coverage of Israel and Gaza is getting louder every week.

Last week, the BBC decided to announce it would no longer be streaming “high-risk” shows at Glastonbury after being called out for broadcasting a Bob Vylan set which featured the frontman leading the crowd in an anti-IDF chant.

This led to journalists calling the corporation “censorious” and “cowardly”.

On a quiet Saturday in London, beneath the statue of Gandhi in Parliament Square, police arrested 83-year-old Reverend Sue Parfitt. Her crime? Holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She smiled as they took her away - dignified, calm, unafraid.

She was one of more than two dozen people arrested that day - many of them women and elderly, most carrying nothing but banners and conscience.

Not sure if I'm doing things the right way but it feels empowering to have these posts on my site - it will be so much easier to organize them and find them in the future.

Similar to my method. I use my self-hosted GoToSocial instance to write down my long thoughts and have them easily accessible.
I don't know if it's the right method either, but I like it.😊

U.S. Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders described Israel’s ongoing war on Palestine as “barbaric and immoral.”

This came in a post on the “X” platform on Sunday, accompanied by a screenshot of a New York Times article headline that reads: “Democrats Need to Understand That Views on Israel Are Changing Fast.”

He called on Democrats to stand “courageously” against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
