It's been in the news lately that a young active member of the Nazi brutality-clubs "Active Club" is "linked to a member of the government" of Sweden, according to major news-media reporting.
Some "experts" and colleagues dismissed it with phrases like "well, what can you do, we're all linked to so many people", buuut...
...turns out "linked to" may have a bit deceptively vague phrasing, as the person (Gustaf Forssell) is Minister for (actually against) Migration Johan Forssell's... son,
also acting as a recruiter for the Fascist youth-group DFSU,
reports AFA (antifa) Stockholm in the latest of their consistently reliable releases.

Well, if you know the politics of that minister, you're probably not shocked. My response at learning which minister it was, was literally "ooooh, THAT makes sense".

I'm gonna add this kolektiva.social/@anarkisminfo… accurate toot from @anarkisminfo here, after my almost week old toot wherein I explained the background for this.
in reply to b9AcE

Latest developments on the matter of the government minister whose son is/was fascist group recruiter and nazi brutality-club activist is that almost all, but not all, major news-media refuse publicly reporting which minister it is, with the claimed reason that the person "linked to a member of the government" is underage, which is of course not even a valid claimed reason for refusing to say which minister it is.
The minister isn't underage. They don't have to say anything more identifiable than "a son of the Minister for Migration of Sweden" or even "closely related to the Minister for Migration". I don't think anyone has demanded that they personally identify anyone else than the minister in this matter. Of course if anyone takes that information and digs for more, then they will find it, but that is already the case so is not a valid reason either.
Due to the minister's previous statements on how parents must be held responsible for their children's acts, so they may be deported, etc, makes this highly politically relevant and the news-media refusing to say which minister it is actually refuse to do their jobs, obstructing the debate needed for healthy democracy, instead apparently treating people with extraordinary power as if instead extraordinarily vulnerable, marginalized persecuted.
in reply to b9AcE

Well, new new development, while I was writing:
The Minister for Migration has been summoned to the parliamentary "Committee on Social Insurance" and as a result of that also the two largest evening papers in Sweden now report which minister it is, while Public Service radio (SR) and TV (SVT) still just say "the minister", but Public Service TV reported that
"When SVT News calls the government office's on call press service nobody answers, which surprises the government's phone switchboard operator.
-Very weird, that has never happened before." (my translation) while when the major evening paper Expressen asked the government if the minister is working they got the response
"The Ministers are always in service [as in working]. A minister is not an employee in the sense of labor law, but a paid contractor. To be a minister is a duty which applies around the clock, every day of the year" (my translation). Sooo... huh, what?
They also asked if the minister was at the latest government cabinet meeting and just got a longwinded statement on how the minutes of the meeting is not completed yet and they can't say when it will be completed.

Get a feeling they are ducking? Maybe? A bit?

The minister may be called to the parliamentary "Committee on the Constitution", a Left Party member said.

Now also in English:
"Swedish minister called to face questions over relative's links to far-right extremism"

in reply to b9AcE

This morning the Nazi-campaigner's dad Minister for Migration (and for "Integration") of Sweden went on TV, after a week of stonewalling the revelation of the son's Nazi-activism.
The minister stated that "I wish I wasn't in this situation".

The minister previously strongly promoted refugee-families should be deported if a child "misbehaves", but now said "Parental responsibility doesn't mean it always goes right. Sometimes it goes wrong. […] It is about TRYING to succeed.", which is certainly extremely different now that it's Nazi and own parental responsibility failure.

The minister also used the child as a shield to claim "to protect a minor" was the reason for refusing to take responsibility in the press until now, which is pure bullshit. If the minister had proactively taken responsibility instead of actively ducking, then they could have kept focus on the failed dad, preventing widening of topic.

The minister claims to have "had no idea at all" of the >1 year Nazi-activities, although some was in public through the son's public social media account, which the minister follows.

Instead of taking responsibility the minister exploited this personal failure to implicitly promote banning teens from social media, which would devastate their development for an adulthood with social media.

Now also in English: "Migration Minister Johan Forssell breaks silence on son's connections to extreme far-right movements"
Public Service radio of Sweden: sverigesradio.se/artikel/migra…

Furthermore, the State Security (SÄPO) spy agency elsewhere assures the public that they do have their own information gathering,
related to that the anti-fascist magazine Expo was the first to inform the failed parenting responsibility Migration Minister, just before SÄPO did (while AFA/antifa has had the person's Nazi-campaigning activities under silent surveillance for a long time).
Oookay... I didn't think that spy agency (or any) was without "own information gathering". Now... I'm confused and uncertain? Whut?

"Sweden’s migration minister ‘shocked’ by teenage son’s far-right activism" (you CAN write "Nazi" for Nazi-group member) article theguardian.com/world/2025/jul… has several flaws, incl such a foundational one as labeling the minister's party "centre-right", while it has never been anything close to "center".
The party's actual history involves mergers of parties like the 1888 "Protectionist Party" from which it became 1910 "United Right Party", then 1912 "National Party" until 1935 becoming the "The Right" party (as in "right-wing", not "justice"... different words in Swedish), until renaming to the "Moderate Party" in 1969 for PR of the times while not making their politics "moderate" but remaining the most right-wing party in parliament until the "Christian Democrat" (disputed claims) party got in 1985 so both competed for most right-wing in parliament, until as late as 2010 when Waffen-SS frontline-volunteers co-founded "Sweden Democrat" party took farthest right-mantle but both of the previous farthest-right parties in parliament keep adopting recent policies of the more recent more hate-based contender, without which they can't govern, thus dragging everyone down doom-pit of far-right authoritarianism.
Just because a party puts a PR-claim in their name does not make it true. Politicians lie.

  • The Paper Doesn’t Ask Why..

I often sit in front of empty paper
not to write
but to unload the static, from both inside & outside —
All those fragments that crowd
behind my sometimes grinding teeth..

Then
Dreamscribe whispers through cracked windowpanes
at 3:14 AM.
She doesn't knock.
She never asks permission.

Quillusion hangs in the corner,
as half-mirage,
sometimes in half-memories I never lived.
It watches. It waits.
Sometimes it laughs.

& then
Inkweave—the ritual,
the thread of symbols
looped through bone-deep meaning.
I pull it tight,
or let it unravel,
depending on the weather inside my chest.

Fableflow arrives late.
Always. -
Dragging stories
like shadows on broken glass,
and they bleed—
not red,nor black from the pen
but something louder.

&
The paper doesn't ask why.
It just listens
Pending senses through the pen..

4 Haiku`s to June..

1.
My dear June, you passed—

Ah, you ended so soon, love,

Gone with firefly light.

2.
Sunset stains the sky,

Laughter in the grass lingers,

Crickets take the stage.

3.
Ripe peaches soften,

Children run through sprinkler arcs,

Time forgets to stay.

4.
Last bloom of the rose—

A hush before July wakes,

Holding June’s goodbye.

'Our goal is always to hit 100%,' Ford says as docs reveal Ontario off track to hit key climate target


Premier Doug Ford says Ontario will try to hit its climate change targets by 2030, despite internal documents suggesting the province is not on track to meet the emissions reduction goals.

Ford was responding to a report from CBC News that shows the province is projected to miss a key climate change target by three megatonnes of emissions in 2030. The premier said Ontario is working hard to hit the mark and committing to nuclear energy as a way to help green the province's electricity grid.

"Our goal is always to hit 100 per cent and we'll do it as quickly as possible," Ford said on Friday. "That's our goal, and that's what we're going to do. We're going to do our very best to achieve it."

@DarkMahesvara @Azur_Fenix All fair and I don't really think the Wayland situation was that pressing since most DEs handle it instead. It's merely an example of a pointless argument that has been drawn out over a year now that forces cross-platform software (i.e. SDL) to uncross-platform itself for sake of Wayland and only Wayland as it doesn't share a standard that every other platform does for this feature. I got it a little incorrect at first and I do apologize for that.
Point was I think drama fucks over FOSS much more since there's far less structure and requirements for any of it. A disagreement can start unrelated to any given project and all of the sudden there's a minefield around with everyone's thoughts and responses. Managers are awful and definitely have issues but there is the benefit of the fact that a manager can force a team to get something users need done. It doesn't matter what happened behind closed doors since the people were paid and forced to make something happen regardless. I'm not championing closed software or anything, rather I'm worried quite a lot of projects have disconcertingly lacking structure. Some would choose to value their political views and arguments over accepting that the guy the disagree with may make good software.

>valve can simply implement the code itself thats the whole point and spirit of free and open source software like they already did numerous times e.g. made HDR on x11 work.
This is good but relies entirely on how others react. I imagine most would be willing to also adopt features. I stretched a bit in what I said though. You're right that it'll at least provide something and would likely benefit overall. Not worthless, just not guaranteed to solve problems across the board. Hopefully Valve's contributions can help make others more usable and provide others with what they need.
I still stand by SteamOS, as it is being developed, cannot prove to be a good desktop OS. It will need a mostly different build to provide that.

>I still stand by SteamOS, as it is being developed, cannot prove to be a good desktop OS

valve has from the get go prioritized the handheld part with the optional desktop part being exactly that. none of the things discussed here would prevent them from prioritizing the desktop part once they target desktop combined with desktop hardware support making it as good as any other proper distro experience 🤷
