"As Naomi Klein writes in _Doppelganger_, the right lives in a 'mirror world' where child abuse is confined to largely imaginary children in nonexistent pizza parlor basements, while actual kids in Florida concentration camps, or border detention cages, or meat-packing plant night shifts, or living in hunger and without a home, are ignored." — @pluralistic

Black: It represents mourning and sadness over the injustice and persecution suffered by the Palestinian people. It symbolizes the darkness that surrounds the homeland and the silence that prevails over children's laughter; White: Symbolizes peace and love, echoing the messages of the prophets. It reflects the desire for hearts free of hatred, as opposed to enemies who carry only malice; Green: It represents goodness, growth, blessings, and hope for the future. It symbolizes Palestine's potential for prosperity and flourishing, with the expectation that the barren land will once again become fertile and joyful; Red: signifies martyrdom, sacrifice and devotion. It is associated with the honor of giving one's life in defense of religion, family and country.
Theme song for when a British gentleman, accompanied by a Polish lady knight, several adventurous treasure hunters, and a few local Chinamen must slay the ravenous and evil dragon spirit of Gluttony, the final boss to his expedition to China. (Chinamen must learn to be gluttonous not for food but for opium and the other wonderous medical concoctions that His Majesty is delighted to sell to his new yellow friends at totally reasonable market prices. And they must learn this lesson by force, if need be. Indeed, the lesser yellow man often can understand no language BUT force! (Turns out knights are just as good at slaying eastern dragons as they are western. Even the girl knights seem to do almost half as decent as the men.))

@hazlin a significant chunk of my playlist is just Arknights music. If nothing else the game is good at giving us a couple banger songs every month or so as well as lengthy stories about, say, food, reconnecting with lost family, and how sacrifice is both terrible for both victim and those left behind but also sometimes necessary, reflected across three different stories across the dozen or so different characters.
Hopped on my bicycle today and after a couple of spins around the parking lot I decided to head down the Greenbelt in town. I didn't fall over, but I was a bit shaky riding along as it's been about 45 years since I rode. A big fuck you to the Canadian geese that thought it was a good idea to stroll out into the path and just stand there blocking my way. I managed to do just under 6 miles, relatively flat, but it felt good, and I did have some jelly legs when I finished my ride.
Wow...Epstein has him on the defensive. A canny move against future trials? Perhaps--hope they all get along with better lives.

@Scrawly The orca whales refer to a 2020 incident known as the "Orca Wars" or "Iberian orca attacks," during which a subpopulation of orca whales (or killer whales) were documented attacking boats in Spain and Portugal, many of which were yachts. There are no reports that they killed any CEOs, but as far as the meme is concerned, it presumes some were owned by CEOs.

„Die Wirklichkeit sieht inzwischen so aus, dass den Bürgern #Freiheiten entzogen und #Grundrechte nicht mehr wirksam ausgeübt werden. (…) #Grundrechte werden unter den Vorbehalt eines ideologischen #Klimaschutzes gestellt, und der #Staat maßt sich an, diese #Grundrechte 'zuzuteilen'.

Today, America First Legal (AFL) releasedexplosive new documents conclusively proving what AFL has known since day one: the infamous October 4 memo from Attorney General Garland labeling concerned parents as “domestic terrorists” was a political operation of weaponized government, not the normal, lawful execution of federal laws by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

These never-before-seen documents—uncovered only because of AFL’s relentless efforts over the past three and a half years—expose not only the Biden White House’s involvement in pushing a weaponized DOJ, but also strong dissent from careers within the Department’s Civil Rights Division, who warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
Now, for the first time since the memo was made public, AFL can complete the timeline of events that occurred between the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo to DOJ and the October 4 memo being published. As AFL predicted on October 7, 2021, the normal process was not followed, with political leadership circumventing and disregarding the advice of DOJ lawyers.

On July 17, 2025, the Russian State Duma passed a new law (Article 13.53) that makes it illegal to deliberately search for or access online content listed in the official Federal List of Extremist Materials, which includes Pussy Riot audiovisuals from their actions. Pussy Riot’s inclusion in this law demonstrates how artistic and political protest is equated with extremism.

Today in Labor History July 18, 1934: “The American Mercury” accepted Emma Goldman's article, "Communism: Bolshevist & Anarchist, A Comparison.” However, it was not until a year later that it was published, in a truncated form, as "There is No Communism in Russia." Goldman had been deported by the U.S. in 1919, during the Palmer raids, and sent to Russia, where she lived with her comrade, Alexander Berkman, for several years. She was initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, until Trotsky brutally crushed the Kronstadt rebellion, in 1921, slaughtering over 1,000 sailors and then executing over a thousand more. After this, she left the USSR and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, “My Disillusionment in Russia.” H.L. Menken founded “The American Mercury,” in 1924, and published radical writers throughout the 1920s and ‘30s. A change of ownership in the 1940s led to a shift to the far right, including virulently antisemitic articles.
Time for a poll. You can only choose one desktop environment and you have to use it everyday. Which one are you using: GNOME or KDE Plasma?
NOTE: do not suggest something else.
Tyrell Wellick: "So I see you're running GNOME. Y'know, I'm actually on KDE myself. I know this desktop environment is supposed to be better, but you know what they say: Old habits, they die hard."
Also - so very glad to have a choice. Also also - there's always XFCE and other even more minimal environments. GNOME isn't my favourite but it's not terrible, it's just ... Meh.
i also think more people should be open to trying out the GNOME experience. i started out with KDE (in part because of anti-GNOME sentiment) but ended up falling in love with GNOME’s UX. things are not as “broken” in stock GNOME than most people make it out to be.

"In clearing the way for President Trump’s efforts to transform American government, the Supreme Court has issued a series of orders that often lacked a fundamental characteristic of most judicial work: an explanation of the court’s rationale.
"The three liberals agree on an overarching theme: They no longer see the Court playing by the old game of constitutional law. Their dissents suggest anything but an assumption of business as usual. The three liberal justices are writing about a majority unbound by law and its tiresome technicalities—about a majority that is no longer doing law as that term has come to be understood."
"As we approach this milestone [the 60th anniversary of the passing of the Voting Rights Act], we find ourselves not in a moment of reflection or rededication but in a state of legal free fall."
"The Supreme Court has scheduled arguments next term on Louisiana’s racially gerrymandered congressional map, and the court as early as next week may put on hold and set for argument a case in which the 8th Circuit held that private plaintiffs have no right to sue to enforce Section 2 of the act."
"These pending decisions threaten to gut what remains of this once powerful statute, which has already been largely hollowed out by the Roberts court over the past decade-plus."
Elie Mystal says that in giving Trump the power to decimate the Department of Education, the Supremes have once again crowned him king:
"That is not the power of a president, it’s the power of a dictator. More than granting Trump immunity, more than anything else this court has done, this ruling gives him the powers of a king."
"And the Republicans on the court did this while they were on vacation, in an emergency-docket ruling that didn’t even require them to explain themselves.
The Supreme Court is of no more use. It will not protect democracy, the rule of law, or even the constitutional order. The next Democratic president should use the powers granted to Trump to impound the court."
"We are living through a time when Catholic identity is being hijacked by power. Through networks like Opus Dei, and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, far-right religious leaders have built an anti-democracy machine that frames cruelty as virtue and domination as divine will."
"These forces, wealthy, secretive, and politically connected, have spent decades quietly embedding their ideology into American institutions.
Their goal is nothing short of a return to a feudalistic model of governance: hierarchy, submission, and clerical control. They speak of 'natural law' and 'order' but act out of ambition, not mercy."
"The installation of six Supreme Court justices tied to this movement, largely orchestrated by Leonard Leo, is no coincidence. It is a calculated campaign to undo democracy in the name of Christ."
The history that people concerned about the Supreme Court's destruction of democracy — destruction driven by theocratic ideas — need to know is the following:
When civil rights legislation was enacted by the Democrats in the 1960s, white evangelicals kicked and screamed. At this point, the US Catholic bishops allied themselves with white evangelicals.
That alliance has had fateful and lasting consequences. It led first to the formation of the Religious Right and eventually to MAGA and white Christian nationalism.
To make the Religious Right's crusade against the Democrats and human rights appear more morally acceptable than it was when it was born out of racism, the Catholic bishops focused on abortion.
White evangelicals, who had never said a peep about the abortion issue and couldn't care less about it, became gung-ho in the anti-abortion cause, with the U.S. Catholic bishops quietly engineering this response behind the scenes — and assisting Leonard Leo in the stacking the Supreme Court with hard-right Opus Dei-leaning Catholics.
The media have focused largely on white evangelicals as the big force intent on replacing democracy with theocracy, but behind the scenes, the U.S. Catholic bishops, who have done everything they can to make it appear their hands are not dirty, have pulled the strings, using white evangelicals while avoiding media scrutiny.
The resistance to breakthroughs in recognizing the rights of minority communities that began with civil rights legislation according rights to people of color has expanded to bitter resistance among both evangelicals and the U.S. Catholic bishops to rights for women and LGBTQ people. This resistance is at the heart of the determination to dismantle democracy.
Linda Chavez thinks that the decision of the "pro-life" Supreme Court's right-wing Catholic bloc to allow deportations to third-world countries should shock American consciences (the terms "pro-life" and "right-wing Catholic bloc" are my addition, not hers).
"On July 3, the Supreme Court handed down its final order vacating the lower court’s preliminary injunction and paving the way for their removal to South Sudan—due process, to determine whether this violates U.S. and international law barring torture, be damned."
"The prisoners were on the ground in Juba, the South Sudanese capital, one day later.
We have no way of knowing what will happen to these men now. The Trump administration claims it received assurances that they would not be tortured. But it has not disclosed what provisions it has taken, if any, to ensure that South Sudan’s government makes good on those assurances."
"U.S. border czar Tom Homan told Politico last week that once the U.S. deports an individual to a place like South Sudan, it doesn’t track their ongoing status or even what country they’ll be in a week later."
Speaking of "pro-life" Catholics, that's Homan's self-description, too.
After a five-year-long investigation into the Work of God, financial journalist Gareth Gore accuses the organization of holding Spain’s sixth-largest bank hostage, while exploiting and mistreating members.
If this is true, I wonder how the pope would be involved in all this? then again, I'm not surprised, because the Catholic church is such a large institution.
It is never too late to invite God into your life. He loves you more than you can possibly imagine. Personally, it was the best decision I've ever made.
Got up at some god awful hour this morning and drove to Melbourne airport to drop off my partner. Then crawled for over an hour in traffic to get home and fire up the laptop when all I want to do is curl up back in bed. Maybe I should schedule a few naps.
Babies spent half the day galloping around playing chasey. Now they've devoured dinner and are curled up together on the couch. Supervisor's gone to bed to leech heat from the electric blanket.
The babies are up and galloping. Today's fun is leaping onto a footstool then leaping off it, pushing it further around the room each time. They rushed past Supervisor earlier, excited by the thought of brekky. She boofed up her tail, startled and has now retired to the safety of the bed.
I have to go into the office today, hopefully no tufts of fur on the floor when I get home.
Got home from work and sat with my tabby friend on the couch for a cuddle time. Supervisor giving me evil eye from the cat post because she feels if I am home, regardless of time, it's now dinner time. It was not quite dinner time so I had a sit.
Now they've all had dinner and the kittens are filled with joy and energy and are back to the mad sprints and chasey. From the dent in my bed I'd say Supervisor spent most of her day there.
if you’ve got trapped-under-cat-leave unused, today is a good day to take a cattie. Our grandparents picketed for nearly a year to win our right to PTUCL.
Trans pride in Brighton tomorrow. I should be going a long. I'm super tired, so I'm hoping if I take it easy, I can reclaim some energy before then. Its also meant to rain all day which is frankly rude.
