This proposal from @leaverou looks really interesting ๐Ÿ‘€

Now that we have `:has()` it should be possible to create `inverted` combinators.

A new parent combinator `B < A` could be syntactic sugar for `A:has(> B)`. Similarly we could add previous sibling and ancestor combinators.

The symmetry could make it easier for students to learn, and it could improve readability.

Child selector: `A > B`
Parent selector: `B < A`

What do you think?

Go check it out:

Una idea para construir un mundo un poco mejor. Cuando encontrรฉis un contenido que os indigne profundamente evitad compartirlo. Si necesitรกis responder podรฉis hacerlo sin difundir el contenido.

Por ejemplo con lo de que nos sobran bosques. Es algo que intentan instalar en el imaginario colectivo, no sรฉ muy bien quiรฉn, no sรฉ muy bien con quรฉ interรฉs.

Es evidente que no tenemos tantos bosques y que no sobran. Pero si desde la indignaciรณn compartimos el argumentario del que dice que sobran lo instalamos en el imaginario colectivo. El personal tiene argumentos para argumentar en ese sentido y acabamos pensando que sobran bosques.

La alternativa es explicar quรฉ es un bosque, por quรฉ necesitamos mรกs y mejores bosques. A ser posible obviando el argumentario contrario que, quien mรกs quien menos ya conoce y ha tropezado con รฉl.

Quizรก no es el mejor ejemplo, pero es lo que intentรฉ hacer en su dรญa con esta entrada en mi blog: productordesostenibilidad.es/2โ€ฆ

An attack on a #DeutscheWelle news crew in the #WestBank by zionazi settlers.

Members of a Deutsche Welle television crew in the West Bank were attacked by fascist settlers, according to a statement from German service. To guarantee the safety of the media personnel, the #German government pleaded the #Zionists at the same time as it attacks and arrests every German citizen who opposes the #Genocide

This horrendous thought @tsyum is talking about here is in fact for many MAGA voters the explicit goal of all this immigration cruelty, except for the job market instead of used cars:

โ€œfewer immigrants โ†’ smaller labor supply โ†’ $$$ for me yayโ€

in reply to Paul Cantrell

But thatโ€™s not the endpoint. Oh no.

In a move alarmingly close to outright chattel slavery, there is talk of ICE capturing immigrants and then โ€ขselling them back to their former employersโ€ข, presumably under much-worsened employment conditions.

in reply to Paul Cantrell

Hereโ€™s the thing: these two goals are in โ€ขdirect contradictionโ€ข.

A bunch of ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to shrink โ€” and thus strengthen โ€” the remaining (white) labor pool.

A bunch of other ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to โ€ขweakenโ€ข the labor pool.

They canโ€™t both get their way.

People are still not paying nearly enough attention to what @pluralistic wrote here:

pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fraโ€ฆ

โ€œThe American right is a brittle coalition.โ€

The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here โ€” employers and workers โ€” who think theyโ€™re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think theyโ€™re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.

6/

in reply to Paul Cantrell

You think ICE is going to โ€œbring the jobs back?โ€ Bullshit. Theyโ€™re gearing up to sell imprisoned immigrants back to employers as slave prisoners who work for free. You think your wages are going up? Youโ€™re a sucker. Your wages are going down.

You think ICE is going to sell you imprisoned immigrants as cheap labor? Bullshit. Theyโ€™re too beholden to the radical white supremacist extremists. Those people will โ€ขneverโ€ข let those immigrants stay in the country. ICE is going to steal your labor force and you wonโ€™t get them back.

I fear some of them may have a plan for managing that contradiction; that white labor pool only needs fooled for a few months. Theyโ€™re buying a bit of consent now to bridge them into the next crunch.

Concentration camps stateside to lease convict labor, concentration camps abroad to traffic people permanently - why both? The white nationalist project. Impoverish & criminalize en masse, exile non-whites to a new worst outcome, remake a frightened, paler, part-convict labor pool.

in reply to cwicseolfor

@cwicseolfor
I meanโ€ฆmaybe? It takes an extraordinary amount of squinting to imagine all of that working out.

Thereโ€™s an almost compulsive urge on the part of the Thoughtful Left in these situations to figure how to resolve the contradiction, how to square the circle, how to say that these people really are all the same โ€” and thatโ€™s just doing the rightโ€™s work for them! Weโ€™ve got to stop that!

Focus on what you said on your subsequent post: the cracks are there, the window of opportunity is short, theyโ€™re feeding the base a fantasy, and we need to FUD that fantasy to death.

in reply to cwicseolfor

This is still a strategic opportunity to break the coalition because itโ€™s showing that they absolutely will cannibalize each other the moment they see a chance. The cracks are there. But the window of opportunity feels very short; theyโ€™re still feeding a racist base the comforting fantasy that theyโ€™d only treat Other People that way, and that base has hardly ever caught on before, because even as their material conditions worsened, things were usually worse for minorities *faster.*

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

โ€˜Tipping pointsโ€™ experts issue urgent message to world leaders.

โ€œEvery fraction of a degree above 1.5ยฐC matters. And every year of โ€œovershootโ€ matters too.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s ultimately a matter of survival.โ€

#Israel / The state has informed the Supreme Court that it will continue to ban foreign and Israeli journalists from entering Gaza to report freely on the situation

This ban has been in place since October 2023, with multiple legal challenges filed by the Foreign Press Association (#FPA). While some limited access with military escort has been granted, Israel maintains that free movement for journalists poses unacceptable security risks.

The FPA has stated journalists will bear responsibility for any harm they face in Gaza, but Israel disputes this, fearing potential legal challenges and risks to operational security.

A court hearing on the FPA's petition is now scheduled for October 23rd, over a year after the initial request.

[...] The FPA's petition, filed approximately ten months ago, was originally scheduled for a hearing last April. However, the hearing was postponed due to "court calendar constraints." Subsequent hearings planned for May and June were also canceled, in part due to Israel's attack on #Iran.

David Suzuki says something I believe: it's too late to save the civilization we're used to, but not too late to save some of your neighbors for a while. Some quotes:

"Q: Youโ€™ve been quoted many times over the last couple decades saying itโ€™s not too late to tackle climate change, so when did you come to this realization that the battle is lost?

A: Itโ€™s been coming all along.

We had previously said that the choice with climate change was mitigation and adaptation, and people began saying 20 years ago that we had to talk about adaptation. Other people said we canโ€™t talk about adaptation because that acknowledges that climate change is real and impacting people. Well, weโ€™re way past the time when we should have been thinking about adaptation.

[....]

For me, what weโ€™ve got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so Iโ€™m urging local communities to get together. Finland is offering a great example because the Finnish government has sent a letter to all of their citizens warning of future emergencies, whether theyโ€™re earthquakes, floods, droughts, or storms. Theyโ€™re going to come and theyโ€™re going to be more urgent and prolonged.

Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that theyโ€™re going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure youโ€™re ready to meet it. Find out who on your block canโ€™t walk because youโ€™re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators?"

Read the whole thing, it explains more.

It will be no surprise (in fact it was predicted by many) but as Chinese exports to the US dropped (due to Trump's new tariffs) so exports to other countries (primarily Asian & the EU) rose, partly to find 'new' markets for these good & partly to use third countries to disguise the origin(s) of imports to the US.

Of course, shippers will do well out of this but the impact of (further) competition from cheap(er) Chinese good will be unwelcome in these countries!

America has always called it redemption:
Men wept for Lee but left the freedmen to starve.
They built statues to defeat but none to repair.
They praised the Union, then walked away from Reconstruction, as if justice had already spoken.

We are a nation that learns through fire and then forgets the flame.

Not all pain is redemptive. Not all suffering is equal.
