Do local communities have any right to object to the imposition of alien, or at least unfamiliar, cultures upon them? Is it always irrational and xenophobic to resent someone because of their apparent refusal to learn the language of the country in which they have chosen to live? Is it similarly unreasonable to object to the amount of local authority resources devoted towards easing that problem?

And while it is both dangerous and unjust to make blanket assumptions about any nationality’s attitudes to women and sex, it is undeniable that certain cultures have, by western standards, an outdated view of women’s roles in society. Until relatively recently, it was decreed by our political masters that we should never cast aspersions on such attitudes and cultures, but such restrictions are no longer taken seriously, not after the grooming gangs scandal, or Kemi Badenoch’s warning that not all cultures are equally valid.


Politicians don't want to admit the truth about the Northern Ireland riots

Tensions between natives and Roma immigrants have been bubbling for some time. Pretending they don’t exist won’t make them go away

Years ago, I suspected the new dishwasher detergent tablets and pods being heavily pushed were a ripoff. I put a tablet in a Ziploc bag and crushed it with a hammer, then measured the resultant powder: about 2 tablespoons (30 mL). That struck me as grossly excessive, in line with the "always fill all detergent cups to maximum for best results" instrux on detergent powder boxes (and then liquid/gel bottles).

So I bought a box of regular ol' normal ol' boring ol' dishwasher powder and started experimenting. 1 tablespoon (15 mL): dishes completely clean. 2 teaspoons (10 mL): dishes completely clean. Mind, I scrape off loose leavings, but almost no dishes get rinsed before they go in the dishwasher.

The math quickly showed that yup, the pods and powders are a complete scam. So for years now, we've had this what you see here under the sink, with a teaspoon measure in.

The dishes consistently get perfectly clean, but I've never liked that dishwasher-detergent smell they have after. It occurred to me the other night I'd stopped the experiment without inceeding 2 teaspoons, so I tried 1 teaspoon (5 mL — probably more like 6ish; I don't level off the teaspoon, just scoop-shake-dispense).

Result: dishes perfectly clean. They couldn't possibly be any cleaner, so all the marketing babble about the pods unlocking whole new levels of Ultra Platinum Extreme Clean are bulk wrap. And the dishes now come out smelling of…nothing.

I'm not gonna retire on the savings, but every bit helps. There's a whole lot less waste this way, in money and detergent and packaging and production. The powder comes in a recyclable-for-real paperboard box rather than a recyclable-nudge-wink-lol plastic tub.

As I've done this much schtick, I might's well make a complete job of it: Consumer Reports' latest test of dishwasher detergent doesn't include powders, they say, because most people buy pods and tablets. That's antithetical to CR's nominal mission; decades ago they'd've done my same math and experiments and recommended avoiding the scam and buying the powders they found to work well.

I'll need to edit that yellow label.

Was just hanging up some washing, in between writing, and my mind drifted back to last month's surreal situation - when, out-of-the-blue, that politician took away my literary award. So bizarre and illogical that I needed to remind myself that it didn't just happen in my imagination.

As an author of odd literary fiction, I love developing characters that are satirical caricatures of the most ridiculous and/or worst kinds of people. I really need to hone my imaginative skills, as I could never have created a character so ridiculous and wrong as that particular politician. Or write a scene so unbelievably bizarre. And the word salad speech that he gave in parliament was pure comedy.

How can I be upset when the situation and 'villain' are so utterly ridiculous? One day, I will add a version of him to a novel. At the very least, it's what he deserves.

He would be a character with few lines, and an odd demise. Perhaps he's crushed by the books that he's ordered the state library to burn? He takes his last breath under the weight of Palestinian poetry, Aboriginal novels, and tomes of critical whiteness theory.

"This is a simple story, one that should be all too familiar to European publics if they were educated in their own histories.

For centuries, Europeans spread outwards - driven by a supremacist zealotry and a desire for material gain – to conquer the lands of others, to steal resources, and to subordinate, expel and exterminate the natives that stood in their way.

The native people were always dehumanised. They were always barbarians, "human animals", even as we – the members of a supposedly superior civilisation – butchered them, starved them, levelled their homes, destroyed their crops.

Our mission of conquest and extermination was always divinely blessed. Our success in eradicating native peoples, our efficiency in killing them, was always proof of our moral superiority.

We were always the victims, even while we humiliated, tortured and raped. We were always on the side of righteousness.

Israel has simply carried this tradition into the modern era. It has held a mirror up to us and shown that, despite all our grandstanding about human rights, nothing has really changed.

There are a few, like Greta Thunberg and the crew of the Madleen, ready to show by example that we can break with the past. We can refuse to dehumanise. We can refuse to collude in industrial savagery. We can refuse to give our consent through silence and inaction.

But first we must stop listening to the siren calls of our political leaders and the billionaire-owned media. Only then might we learn what it means to be human."

"Always Remember Us This Way" by Lady Gaga is a heartfelt ballad that captures the essence of love and nostalgia. Featured in the film "A Star Is Born", the official music video showcases Gaga's powerful vocals and emotional delivery, making it a standout moment in both the movie and her discography.

Lyrics:
That Arizona sky
Burning in your eyes
You look at me and babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul
Like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night
Poets trying to write
We don't know how to rhyme, but damn we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah

When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way

Ooh-ooh, hmm
Oh, no, hm-hm

I was talking to a fellow member of the #resistance who was talking to friends from Canada as well as overseas & learned that many were viewing us Americans as “one,” as either supporting that man occupying the White House or perhaps being silently complicit, which prompted this post.

This man, this regime which camouflages its xenophobic atrocities under the banner of gross exaggeration of criminal activity among illegal immigrants, is NOT my president. Boost if you agree.

According to the Balfour Declaration, Israel was allowed to exist provided they did nothing to harm the people who were already there, in the British Protectorate of Palestine.

Since they have ignored that for decades, there must be a strong case for discontinuing the experiment, and removing them from Palestine. America has always supported them, and has plenty of room.

The Cranberries - Zombie (Official Music Video)

"Zombie" by The Cranberries is a powerful protest song that addresses the impact of conflict and violence. The official music video amplifies the song's emotional intensity, showcasing the band's distinctive sound and Dolores O'Riordan's haunting vocals, making it a timeless anthem for peace.

Lyrics:
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head? In your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie, oh

Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme, since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head? In your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, eh-ah, ya-ya-ow

An astonishing editorial in #Israel's liberal #Haaretz paper calling for full western sanctions against Israel and not the feeble entry restrictions on two cabinet ministers announced this week by the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.

You can't imagine anything like this being published in the western press.

Extracts:

It is hard to know whether these countries are being naïve or cowardly. Are they just paying lip service, or do they really believe this punishment will have some sort of effect on Israel's moves?...

Perhaps this tiny, ridiculous step is meant only to be a wake-up call to a world that has been dozing peacefully amid the slaughter of Gaza, and in its wake will come the deluge. Yet from another perspective, one can't help but scoff. We deserve a lot more...

The five countries that have taken the baby steps have joined the United States of the previous administration, which imposed personal sanctions on two and a half violent settlers. That was the American contribution that preceded the war on apartheid. But apartheid looked straight into the whites of those sanctions' eyes – and has grown even stronger, along with settler violence...

What Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip is not happening because of [Itamar] Ben-Gvir and [Bezalel] Smotrich. They aren't even the main culprits. Blaming them and only them is self-righteousness and hypocrisy...

The sanctions must be directed at the entire government, from #Netanyahu, who is wanted by the #ICC, to the least senior government minister. Sanctions should also target the military officers and the bureaucrats who are carrying out the slaughter in #Gaza.

A majority of Israelis, as public opinion polls indicate, support the slaughter and are even waiting for the population transfer [ethnic cleansing] that is to come in its wake. Therefore, the pressure and the punishment must be directed at Israel in its entirety...

Diplomats and decision-makers, do you get this? In Israel, all of us are now #BenGvir and #Smotrich. All of us.

“Two European journalists were hacked using government spyware made by Israeli surveillance tech provider Paragon.”

techcrunch.com/2025/06/12/rese…

Excuse me, but what’s up with this antisemitic article? Did those journalists even say thank you for being hacked by Israeli spyware?

Researchers confirm two journalists were hacked with Paragon spyware | TechCrunch

The confirmation of two hacked victims further deepens an ongoing spyware scandal that, for now, appears largely focused on the Italian government.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992.
