Something refreshing on a hot day…

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see

Murdering the Refugees

A US government agency has publicly announced an evil plan to murder nearly 500,000 refugees:


U.S. wildlife officials plan to kill nearly half a million “invasive” American owls over three decades, new documents confirm. Experts say the #cull is #needed to help protect two #native owl #species, which have been put under #threat from the #invaders. However, animal rights activists have condemned the plan as #cruel and unnecessary.

Barred owls (Strix varia) are large owls native to eastern #NorthAmerica. In the early 20th century, these owls started moving west of the Mississippi River following “human-induced changes” to the Great Plains and northern boreal forest, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). As a result, the owls have gained a stronghold in #Washington, #Oregon and #California, where they are considered an invasive species.

The arrival of barred owls in the Northwest has adversely affected two native owl species — northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) and California spotted owls (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) — which are both much smaller than the #invaders and are being outcompeted for food and territory. Both native species have also been impacted by extreme logging activity over the last few decades, which has majorly reduced their range, according to California’s Santa Clara University.

Barred owls have also started mating with the spotted owls, creating hybrids that have the potential to reduce the gene pool of the spotted owl species.

The northern spotted owl population has declined severely over the past few decades, and the species is now outnumbered by barred owls across most of its range.


This, of course, is truly reprehensible. The barred owls aren’t even #foreigners! They’re just as #American as the northern spotted owl or the California spotted owl, and all they’re doing is chasing the American dream to make a better life for their children!

This Great Owl Replacement theory is just racism and spotted owl #supremacism. Any decent owl would reject it; no owl-refugee is “illegal” or “invasive”. And if the spotted owls are mating with the barred owls, obviously they are welcoming the #refugees.

Who cares about the gene pool of the spotted owl species? That’s just #eugenics and #Nazi #pseudoscience, right? All owls are the same under their feathers, and obviously there is no place for “pure gene pools” or Spotted Owl #supremacy in Owl #Democracy!

Share a script/alias you use a lot


A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What's a script/alias that you use a lot?
# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp

  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

With how many new Linux users we get recently, I don't like this joke at all without a disclaimer. Yes yes, its your own fault if you execute commands without knowing what it does. But that should not punish someone by deleting every important personal file on the system.

In case any reader don't know, rm is a command to delete files and with the option rm -r everything recursively will be searched and deleted on the filesystem. Option -f (here bundled together as -rf) will never prompt for any non existing file. The / here means start from the root directory of you system, which in combination with the recursive option will search down everything, home folder included, and find every file. Normally this is protected todo, but the extra option --no-preserve-root makes sure this command is run with the root / path.

Haha I know its funny. Until someone loses data. Jokes like these are harmful in my opinion.

"This default position is so naked in its hypocrisy, so ignorant and parochial in its worldview, so clear in its disregard for human life, that it represents a colossal erosion of sophistication in political discourse, and a new low in contempt for the public. Support for Israel can only be defended by facile, logic-defying references to its right to defend itself even when it is the aggressor, and Iran’s “threat to the free world”."

The thing to always remember is that this stuff doesn't even rise to the level of being scientifically wrong. There are no "different races" to start with that potentially ⋅could⋅ have systematic cognitive differences, because it's simply not possible to give a robust biological definition of human "races” to start with, and boy, have the racists tried to find one. These statements are gibberish in the narrowest sense of the word.

in reply to Bilal Barakat 🍉

And the social definitions of race are such a jumble in terms of genetic background - an Icelander and an Italian both considered "white," a Namibian and a Nigerian both considered "black" - that any actual biological correlations would be canceled out, and the results dominated instead by "nurture" effects: how society treats people based on race; i.e., you're measuring racism, not race.

Wir sind jetzt in #Israel bei einer neuen Deutung des 7.10.2023 angekommen:

7.10.23? Der hat Israel gerettet, sonst hätten wir den Iran nicht bombardieren können.

So ein Vertrauter von Netanyahu heute.

#Gaza changed us - now let's change the world

by Yasmeen Daher, University of Potsdam

But Gaza has changed us, and I found myself in a frenzy of uninterrupted speaking since the genocide began. In November 2023, I found myself mentioning my father for the very first time in a political writing.
Perhaps because, after a month of carpet bombing in Gaza, I finally admitted what I had refused to admit until then—that we might be living (in the Palestinian lexicon, “reliving”)

a horrendous moment, worse
than the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba in 1948, that my father lived.

This, in addition to the fact that when we are invited to speak, we often need special permission to narrate, to use Edward Said’s words.
(Said 1984). And when such permission is granted, after we have paid a tormenting and excruciating price- through considerable destruction both in actual and potential lives—the permission is limited to what is

acceptable, in tone, and does not upset the audience.
These directions vary according to context, geography, and language. I have often felt the need to perform a certain identity of Palestinianism, for better or for worse, which I was not always successful in inhabiting
through my political practice.

Following the judicial-political notion of “the right to have rights,”
which Hannah Arendt offers us, I want to offer an understanding of the German hegemonic public discourse around Palestine

How Israel’s war on Iran saved the “West” from its own humanity – Mondoweiss


#geopolitics #imperialism #war

After Israel's genocide became untenable for even Israel's staunchest allies to support, the West needed a more “perfect villain” to keep backing Israel. And there was no better villain for an indoctrinated mind than Iran.

C'est d'autant plus ridicule que les États-Unis laisse faire un génocide (pour vendre un maximum d'armes) et bombarde (sans doute le SAV) des sites nucléaires iraniens sans aucun résultat et sans même aucun mandat, la loose la plus total.

A "sulfide-based solid-state battery that offers driving ranges of up to 3,000 kilometres and ultra-fast charging in just five minutes" has been patented by Huawei.

"The patent outlines a solid-state battery architecture with energy densities between 400 and 500 Wh/kg, potentially two to three times that of conventional lithium-ion cells. The filing also details a novel approach to improving electrochemical stability: doping sulfide electrolytes with nitrogen to address side reactions at the lithium interface, a long-standing obstacle to the commercialisation of sulfide-based batteries. Huawei's design aims to boost safety and cycle life by mitigating degradation at this critical junction."

"China's EV and tech sectors are aggressively exploring solid-state battery technologies to reduce reliance on established battery suppliers such as CATL and BYD."

"CATL aims to begin pilot production of a hybrid solid-state battery by 2027. Going High-Tech's 'Jinshi' battery -- featuring 350 Wh/kg energy density and 800 Wh/L volume density -- has entered small-scale production. At the same time, Beijing WeLion has begun manufacturing a 50 Ah all-solid-state cell with national certification."

Keep in mind, this is a patent. Nothing happens with most patents. They get filed, but the idea is never commercialized. Sometimes they get involved in patent lawsuits or threats of patent lawsuits. Or they just sit around as part of a corporations "war chest" that protects it against patent lawsuits.

#US officials admit they don't know the fate of #Iran's uranium reserves - #NYT

And yet that doesn't stop them from gloating over some shity hits on some rocks.
Iran had proactively moved enriched uranium and now has every reason to build nuclear weapons to defend itself against #US aggression.
With the support of the whole world.

Now US will never be able to add Iran to the pile of countries they have destroyed.
This is what the orange clown has achieved.
