As predicted, Zelensky (in the form of “the people of Ukraine”) won. The European Union is, for the most part, a scam. We’re all vassals to the US.

This is #EU disinformation -
MEP's had no vote to decide which of the short list of 3 won the #SakharovPrize - It was decided by the Conference of Presidents. What chance had Julian #Assange who's in prison for exposing #US #NATO War Crimes, given that EU is subservient to US..?
RT @europarl_en: MEPs have awarded the brave people of Ukraine, represented by their president, elected leaders and civil society, the 2022 Sakharov Prize…

I just realised that the real name of Minnie Mouse is Minerva.
Today (well, technically yesterday, local time) I discovered the Tropedia and I have to say it made my day.
I enjoyed Serial Experiments Lain when I watched it, but, seriously, some of you act like a fucking sect about it.
An ex-NSA employee was charged with espionage (he tried to sell secrets to the Russians) because he was in “financial need“ due to student debt:

Student debt has become a security problem in the US. But I’m pretty sure nobody will move a finger to solve it.
Wow. This is the stupidest flowchart I’ve ever seen in my life. And I’ve been reading flowcharts since I was a child.
Just email the author. They will appreciate the interest you took in their work and be more than happy to help you. Everything else there is just a Google ad.

You now what? Now that I can quote-post, I won’t be replying to people as much. I never really wanted to respond to them, but to add to what they said.
That’s probably the same rationale that lead to the invention of prostitution. Or the Suicide Prevention Line.
I wish someone would invent an on-demand fren that I could talk to for 10 minutes and then turn off

You cannot save our planet or anything even remotely good by attacking great cultural accomplishments!
And what kind of a newspaper would normalize such vandalism by publishing pathetic statements like "Bystanders in the National Gallery had mixed feelings about the action."? Really!? Mixed feelings?

RIP Kathleen Booth, who Invented the first assembly language.
She was 100 years old, and I have not seen anything in the news about it, unfortunately. With her husband, they formed the smallest computer group in the UK. Respect!
The thing is, ‘liberalism’ has become a meaningless philosophy nowadays, because it’s absolutely void of any ideology deeper than “vote blue no matter who” (or its rest-of-the-world equivalents).
Some conservatives (those who equate ‘liberals’ with ‘leftists’ and who think that anything that deviates from tradition is ‘communism’) can be put in the same group, but most are just people who don’t know better and were led to believe some seriously sickening bullshit by those who want to take advantage of them. That’s why I think liberals are worse, because they should know better. They should be leading society to a better outcome, but they won’t, because they’re sellouts.
It's alarming to see the term "liberal" has become a pejorative in multiple languages. "Conservative," too, has become a meaningless epithet. Peopl...
Who cares about that shit? In the end, they will award it to the one who wants to start a nuclear war instead of the one who’s in jail for exposing war crimes.

Fortunately, my ban was only temporary. I must say I’m pretty happy with the service my hosting provider gave me. Support lady was very nice, quick and efficient. She didn’t really do anything, but still.
So, I got locked out of my own domain for running a port scan on it. How was your day?

El 10 de octubre de 1839 nació en Ronda, Francisco Giner de los Ríos, pedagogo, filósofo y ensayista español. Inspirado en la filosofía krausista introducida en la Universidad Central de Madrid por Julián Sanz del Río, fundó y dirigió la Institución Libre de Enseñanza. Tras la Guerra civil española, la obra de Giner en general, y la ILE en particular, fueron condenadas y ocultadas por el régimen de Franco, dentro del proceso de depuración del magisterio español, por considerar que su obra educativa introducía subrepticiamente el liberalismo tan condenado por la Iglesia.

Side neither with nations nor with parties. Be neither Russians, Poles nor Slavs. Rather, be men who hunger for truth, free from any thoughts of particular interests, and from speculative ideas concerning the Chinese, Africans or Europeans. The patriot always ends up hating the foreigner, and loses the sense of justice that once kindled his enthusiasm.

Big thanks for Ancient FM (https://ancientfm.com) for providing such a great free music stream which I have been enjoying for longer than I can remember; at least 15 years I’d guess.
