I woke up sick today, probably with the new virus that has no diagnosis or treatment here in #Gaza.

My brothers were infected with the virus two weeks ago, and they haven't gotten well yet, and the occupation is still imposing restrictions on the entry of medicine!!!

New book! "Nalbinding: It's not knitting!" by experimental archaeologist Sally Pointer https://www.sallypointer.com/

Scottish comedian Lewis MacLeod just did a Donald Trump impression so accurate it feels like evidence.

No es un accidente.
Es un mensaje.

Derriban la sede de UNRWA, la agencia de la ONU que mantiene con vida a millones de palestinos,
y quien lo justifica es el vicealcalde de Jerusalén.

Aniquilación sin límites.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:

"You don't have to watch the video."

Seriously. You don't.

Your life won't be improved by seeing it. Especially if you already oppose ICE.

This fight does not follow international borders. It's a global fascist network, they are coordinating with each other, and the resistance to it must also be global and coordinated.

Dear Europe,

I know you're having a tremendous time yelling at Americans, and fair enough for that, but get your houses in order because what happened in the United States is being orchestrated in your countries, and it may prevail as long as you let this sort of thing grow.

There’s an old and quite simple investment scam that works something like this:

You set up a dozen or so funds. Each fund invests in a random set of stocks. On average, they will perform about as well as the market, but there will be a distribution. Some will lose money, some will make money.

You take the ones that significantly outperformed the market and advertise them as the result of your genius secret investment strategy. You get a load of people to invest. And then you have their money to invest in whatever yo want (such as your own businesses, or things you own and can sell and make a big profit from).

I feel like a lot of big companies have the same attitude towards promotions to senior leadership. They take a load of people who have made predictions and promote the ones that made correct ones, but never look at why they made the decisions. A process like this needs to do a proper analysis of the reasons for the choices.

This kind of analysis often happens for incorrect choices. When a project fails that management thought would succeed, some places do an analysis of why it didn’t go as expected. But when a project succeeds, no one looks to see whether it was because of luck or judgement. And when you promote people because they were lucky and tell them that it was because of skill, you end up with people who make more and bigger gambles, right up until they make one that is a disaster.

Every TikTok "alternative" is just another VC-funded data harvesting machine cosplaying as your friend.

Why is https://joinloops.org the only real open source option?

Because surveillance capitalism pays better than freedom.

Judge platforms by their code, not their marketing.

If it's not open source, you're not the user, you're the product being sold.

I've coded up a little private journalling app that's like a one-person social network. I've called it "YouSky”. It's free.

It has replies and hashtags. Works kinda like you expect. Pretty basic. But does a job.

Not sure how many of you use ChatGTP, but you might want to scale back.

"The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

In tests done by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen different questions."

Las víctimas de violencia sexual tardan, de media, entre 8 y 10 años en verbalizar lo que han sufrido. Denunciar llega más tarde, si llega. Respetemos los ritmos de las víctimas. Exijamos rapidez y eficacia a la Justicia.
