When this case first came out, I was talking to a relatively senior Finnish journalist about freedom of the press in Finland. We came to the conclusion that Finland's then best in the world ranking on press freedom was entirely down to the fact that the press had never wanted anything that the government wasn't ok with having in the papers. This decision is broadly incompatible with freedom of expression. Prosecuting folks who agreed to keep state secrets is one thing. Accusing journalists of treason, let alone convicting them, for publishing material that in their professional opinion was newsworthy is completely unacceptable. The Finnish national security bureaucracy does and must not be above the constraints of international human rights law, and must not be permitted to either constrain a priori or decide post hoc what is in the national interests. I assume this will be appealed and that the Finnish Supreme Court (or, failing them, the European Court of Human Rights) does the right thing. This case has already caused a significant chilling effect on Finnish journalism — already not in a great position — and this is happening at a time when Finland's national security position and responsibilities are changing rapidly. We need transparency and accountability in the national security bureaucracy now more than ever.

For the love of god if you're trying to convince your employer or an organization to "come over" to the #Fediverse, do NOT under any circumstances suggest that they set up a #Mastodon #instance!

Mastodon is the ONLY Fediverse platform that ... by default ... forces #server #admins to #cache, #copy, and #proxy all #media that passes through its server. This means that not only are server admins paying to host the media their users #upload, but they have to pay to host the media everyone else on the fucking fediverse uploads as well.
Other platforms offer this feature, but Mastodon is the only one that has this turned on by default.
This results in Mastodon server admins having to shell out thousands of dollars each month in #S3 hosting costs for no reason whatsoever.

There are much better alternative instance platforms than Mastodon.

BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

Had a revelation last night while I was upp pissing half asleep

Decades ago I had lots of problems, but I will focus on my physical pain

I had back pain and hip pain like an old man

A doctor told me that I had something he called a "short nerve costume" And last night I finally understood why

I had IBS and had lost a lot of muscles
When we loose muscle mass, since the muscles are quite tall, they don't only shrink in width, they get shorter

So lifting will counter age related stiffness too.

Exactly.
I was in bad condition when I started this journey with just push ups.

But 2 things. first I had no idea how weak I had become. Second it was reall heavy the first weeks but soon it got easier and I was never expecting this. But after 1 year I broke the records of my youth in some compound moves.

Now I train all year around and my work feels less tiresome. I feel stronger, lighter and have more energy

And this is the best part, push ups only takes like 1 minute.

From the UN report's summary:

'This report investigates the corporate machinery sustaining Israel’s settler-colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the occupied territory.'

'(...) far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and now, genocide.'

'The complicity exposed by this report is just the tip of the iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including its executives.' (my emphasis)

What sort of violations may corporations have committed in Palestine?

Any corporate entity that continued its activities and relationships with 'Israel' may knowingly have contributed to:

  • (a) Violation of the Palestinian right to self-determination;
  • (b) Annexation of Palestinian territory, maintenance of an unlawful occupation and therefore the crime of aggression and associated human rights violations;
  • (c) Crimes of apartheid and genocide;
  • (d) Other ancillary crimes and violations.

according to the UN Special Rapporteur.

How are universities and centres of research & learning involved?

Sometimes their contribution is financial and material. (Viz. EU Horizon money channelled to zionist entities; research for weapons and surveillance tools.)

But universities' role is also, especially, ideological. Offering respectability and legitimacy to entities that are in truth neither respectable nor legitimate.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

Universities – centres of intellectual growth and power – have sustained the political ideology underpinning the colonization of Palestinian land, developed weaponry and overlooked or even endorsed systemic violence, while global research collaborations have obscured Palestinian erasure behind a veil of academic neutrality.

Good old Booking*com gets a mention too, in the section on 'Occupation tourism'.

The UN Special Rapporteur finds that Booking and Airbnb 'profit from the occupation by selling tourism that sustains the colonies, excludes Palestinians, promotes settler narratives and legitimizes annexation.'

Booking is already facing a criminal complaint in the Netherlands on suspicions of money laundering its criminal profits.

Enter: Christenen Voor Israël.

Fracesca Albanese calls out this Dutch group as among the 'key financial enablers of illegal projects' in occupied Palestine.

Funds from Christenen Voor Israël support illegal colonies and train settler paramilitaries, the UN Special Rapporteur finds.

Sounds pretty illegal nah? How come this group is allowed to continue to operate?

#ChristenenVoorIsrael #FreePalestine #UNReport

Recommendations! The UN Special Rapporteur urges Member States (so, including the Netherlands):

  1. To impose sanctions and a full arms embargo on Israel, including all existing agreements and dual-use items such as technology and civilian heavy machinery; 2. To suspend or prevent all trade agreements and investment relations, and impose sanctions, including asset freezes, on entities and individuals involved in activities that may endanger the Palestinians;
  2. To enforce accountability, ensuring that corporate entities face legal consequences for their involvement in serious violations of international law.

#UNReport #FreePalestine

in reply to Kit 🔻

For corporate entities (that includes Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Palantir, Booking, etc.), the UN Special Rapporteur recommends:

  1. To promptly cease all business activities and terminate relationships directly linked with, contributing to and causing human rights violations and international crimes against the Palestinian people, in accordance with international corporate responsibilities and the law of self-determination;
  2. To pay reparations to the Palestinian people, including in the form of an apartheid wealth tax along the lines of post-apartheid South Africa.

UNUTMADIM. UNUTMAYACAĞIM. UNUTTURMAYACAĞIM.

Arkadaşlarımı, kardeşlerimi diri diri yaktınız!
Kapılar kapatıldı, camlar kırıldı, içeride canlar vardı, siz kibriti tuttunuz!
Ve devlet…
sadece seyretti.
Otuz bir yıl oldu.
Tam otuz
bir yıl.
Biz kül yuttuk, siz unuttuk sandınız.

Ama biz unutmadık!
Ben unutmadım!
Ben, Madımak’ın kapısında yere düşen o çığlığın içindeyim hâlâ.
Siz o gün sadece insanları değil, insanlığı da yaktınız.
Sonra ne oldu?
Yakanlar ödüllendirildi.
Katil avukatları milletvekili oldu.
Sanıklar mülteci değil, devlet korumasında birer misafir oldu.
Mahkemeler tiyatroya, adalet susturulmuş bir tanığa döndü.

Siz, yangının etrafında tekbir getiren güruhsunuz.
Siz, onları alkışlayan mahalleler, o katliamın iktidar ortağısınız.
Ve siz - hâlâ susanlar, hâlâ bu ülkeyi yönetmeye aday olanlar - hepinizin suç ortaklığı tescilli, biliyoruz .

İçim kanıyor.
Ama sadece yas tutmuyorum; öfkemle, hatırlamakla, adını koymakla direniyorum.
Bu topraklarda katliamları örtmek isteyen her güç, Madımak’ın külleri altında kalacak!

Sivas’ta bir otel değil, bir rejim yandı aslında.
İnsanlık yandı.
Ve biz, o yangının içinde hayatta kalan utancız!

Yarın 2 Temmuz.
Bir ülkenin, evlatlarını cayır cayır yaktığı günün 31. yıl dönümü.
Unutanlara, unutturmaya çalışanlara karşı bir kez daha yüksek sesle söylüyorum:

Günü gelecek, bu halk size sadece sandıkta değil, tarihin en karanlık sayfasında da hesap soracak.

Ölenleri öfkeyle, onurla ve sonsuz bir yasla anıyorum.

No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver—no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.

Miller seems to be right. In that case, should Elon Musk start a new party it would be a waste of time and money to make it a libertarian one. His best bet would be to make his America Party usurp MAGA, and kick Republicans out of the picture (MAGA is the movement of the American people). But can autismo do that? Can he put aside his ideals for strategic benefit?

Detectives These Days Are Crazy! Episode 1 Impressions

Went into this blind, but knew it was a comedy. Didn't know it was this much of a gag comedy.

It has good animations and character designs. The characters themselves are fun. I really like the comedy dynamic between Kei and Mashiro.

I couldn't stop laughing through this first episode. This is so stupid and hilarious. Can't wait for further episodes.

I had just shown my wife the little note book I use to track my daily health metrics: body weight, and blood pressure. And I'd pointed out how both my body weight and my blood pressure have been so much better over the past week or so, especially over the last few days, than they have been even a few months ago. Then I added, “But I feel like crap. So weak. And it takes me so darned long to recover from even the smallest amount of work.”

“As long as we have our health,” she said, “that's the main thing.”

Yeah, ... after thinking about our little talk a few minutes ago. She's right.
