Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered 56 years ago today.
At the time, the posters read "An Epic Drama of Adventure and Exploration". It's still my favorite film.

Scientists Have Uncovered a Safe Path to Overcoming Food Allergies https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-have-uncovered-a-safe-path-to-overcoming-food-allergies/ #science
Just thought of this too. The recent case where the mother who supplied her son with a gun, that person goes on to kill 4 people at his school, the MOTHER has been charged and sent to prison.
Surely this could open up a legal avenue for World Central Kitchen to seek prosecution or other legal action for suppling the weapons.

Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since I organised the world’s first virtual web conference (it was called <head>, it took place over 3 days, had 4 simultaneous tracks, over 70 speakers, and local in-world conference hubs in London, Manchester, Brigthon, Fribourg, and San Francisco, as well as as pre-conference party and a separate virtual hub in Second Life).

"The Israeli military has expressed “sincere sorrow” over the deaths of seven aid workers killed in an airstrike on #Gaza,
Well that's ever so f*cking nice of them, won't bring those people or any of the thousands of others they've murdered back though will it? And you can guarantee that just like Boozo the Clown, any 'ndependent, professional, and expert body' won't be and won't find anything to see.

It seems in 2024, there are some very disturbed young people out there, committing ever more violent offences, not just in the UK but elsewhere.
What is going on?

Not all tattoo removal services are licensed, so you’ll have to do some research before booking yourself in. Here’s what to look out for.

While at the same time, the UK government wants assurances from the USA that Julian Assange won't be executed for the crimes they have accused him of once the trail is complete. This is not the only example of this.
So from the UK government perspective Death Penalty is a no no, but mass killing of civilians, aid workers, charity workers, medical and support staff is perfectly fine.
Double standards there me thinks.
Concern needs to lead to action,

Folks, I’m going to ask you to please consider that over 31,000 people – including over 13,000 children – have already been murdered by Israel in the last handful of months before stating that the person from your own country that was just murdered is your red line or the point where you think Israel’s genocide has finally gone too far. I really need you to understand that Palestinians are people too.

We need to start to use the word MURDERED (and yes in capitals) in situations such as this.

I've seen like 100 people say something to the effect of "we need to find ways to support open source developers" in the last couple days.
But I don't get the impression that most people know what that would look like. Can I suggest listening to Astra Taylor's lecture series as a place to start imagining that future?
