I would prefer it if only my decisions affected my life, and not the decisions of other people. Want a well-paying job you're already good at? Better hope that another person decides you deserve it. Same with getting a place to live. It was quite a shock when I learned you had to fucking interview to rent an apartment, and may not be approved even if you have the money.

Two French MPs to join new Gaza-bound aid boat


The Handala, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left the port of Syracuse shortly after 12:00 pm local time, according to a journalist of the French press agency AFP, carrying about fifteen activists.

Several dozen people, some holding Palestinian flags and others wearing keffiyeh scarves, gathered at the port to cheer the boat's departure with cries of "Free Palestine".

The former Norwegian trawler, loaded with medical supplies, food, children's equipment and medicine, will sail for about a week in the Mediterranean, covering roughly 1,800 kilometres, in the hope of reaching Gaza's coast.

Thanks for that clarification. And thanks again for writing poems which help us navigate the times we are in.

I just shared a bunch of them at facebook.com/share/p/1Hfs4HGkkโ€ฆ

Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!


  • I'll buy used, so don't want latest and greatest. It won't be my main laptop.
  • to run linux obviously.
  • good battery life, light, not too small to use, but large enough to type on (obviously can do without numeric keypad). not too fragile!
  • I'll be doing some light python work, perhaps some c/c++ but I'm not after a workhorse, just something for quickly fixing bugs, or making notes on
  • sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations, and also what to avoid!

@ritchiepage2001 I'm sick of hypocrisy from both camps. I'm sick of our country being owned by Israel, I'm sick of twits in Europe trying to govern the entire planet, I'm sick of libtards that have no knowledge of history and the consequences of equalizing outcomes rather than opportunities. There doesn't seem to be any good options but in the last twenty years we've done better under Repugnicans than DemonRats. I really want a better option than either and I don't think Elon's American party is going to be it.

Chicago Anarcho-Feminists (1971): "The intelligence of womankind has at last been brought to bear on such oppressive male inventions as the church and the legal family; it must now be brought to reevaluate the ultimate stronghold of male domination, the State. . .

We believe that a Womanโ€™s Revolutionary Movement must not mimic, but destroy, all vestiges of the male-dominated power structure, the State itselfโ€”with its whole ancient and dismal apparatus of jails, armies, and armed robbery (taxation); "with all its murder; with all of its grotesque and repressive legislation and military attempts, internal and external, to interfere with peopleโ€™s private lives and freely-chosen cooperative ventures."

Ultimately what worries me the most is that the majority of bitcoiners haven't been truly tested. How you behaved during COVID is a fairly good indicator as to how far you are willing to go. In the war that comes, and it is ahead of us, you will be cut off completely and our own systems will have to stand alone. We will have to build the circular economy and the threat of violence will be thick in the air. The uncertainty will return and sadly a hard fork will also attempt to tear us apart. There is a journey ahead of us to be sure.
