Olen nyt lukenut ja katsonut Tampereen vapusta riittävästi todetakseni että meillä on ongelma joka on isompi ja vakavampi kuin väkivaltainen äärioikeisto. Meillä on nimittäin väkivaltaista äärioikeistoa suojeleva poliisi. Selitän: (1/17)

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Red Square is less important to us than the lives of Ukrainian prisoners who can be returned home. That is why today, within the framework of the negotiation process, mediated by the American side, we received Russia's consent to conduct a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange.

Today is Victory in Europe day. 81 years ago, the bloodiest and most horrible war of the 20th century ended. Today, Ukraine is fighting the bloodiest war of the 21st century against Russia. Europe is at war again. I often think about those who fought in WWII.

So, uh, where are we on that whole oil crisis? Feel like I'm not hearing enough about things like: "California must figure out how to replace some 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from the Persian Gulf." www.governing.com/transportati...

A quiet parade in Moscow in exchange for 1,000 Ukrainians returning home. Fair trade that tells you everything about the Kremlin’s priorities and how little they value their people.

Ukrainian drones are attacking Kaspiysk in Russia’s Dagestan Republic, where one of the Russian Navy’s main Caspian Flotilla basing points is located. #Russia

THE AUTHORITIES: O'Sullivan...do not do it...come out with your hands up...if you post again the conservative radio host weight loss book where it looks like he nutted all over some sneakers...we're coming in ME:

Ukrainian Ratel H unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) in a drone carrier configuration, capable of transporting and deploying four fiber-optic FPV drones.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

The Canvas hack is truly terrifying and could have all kinds of knock-on effects. Student messages to professors can be particularly sensitive. @linkletter.org helps contextualize this: www.404media.co/the-biggest-...

Gross. (From Publishers Lunch newsletter)

Trying to build alliances with fascist zealots is like trying to develop an intimate relationship with a running chainsaw. These are not collaborators to find common ground with or debate. Fascism is a purely cancerous, extractive movement that can and should only be destroyed.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Jeez. The Labour leader of Keir Starmer’s local council, Camden, has failed to win his seat, with the entire ward he stood in being won by the Greens.

oh good, virginia dems can already replace both of them with explicitly partisan firebrands over the next two years and should do so posthaste

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

I think a lot of people are underestimating just how politically radicalizing this stuff is, when you see what the right is getting away with, including with the blessing of the Supreme Court majority

Many of us have agued against the corporate LMS for decades (e.g. "Against Learning Management Systems" [2009] blog.mkgold.net/2009/03/30/a... ) And we've built alternatives, such as the CUNY Academic Commons (commons.gc.cuny.edu) and Commons In A Box (commonsinabox.org). Check them out!

What a surprising turn of events provided that you know nothing about humans and the fact that a certain percentage of them are complete shit As a side note I was gifted a pair of these and they immediately went into a drawer and have not come back out again gizmodo.com/extortion-us...

my blog is turning into a weird art project where i just post the same thing over and over in different languages. it's uh a meta-commentary. on the social construction of meaning through repetition

This is about the UK but it’s also about the West

The new Banksy is genuinely very cool.

I had the Lego Technic pneumatics set that kid is playing with. And built that exact same truck, among other things

My kids public school district just used this exact framing – that we can’t know how AI works, even the experts don’t know how AI works – in their framework on how to implement AI in our schools. Very timely publication that addresses this. Science!💪🏼

Ukrainian P1-SUN interceptor drone took down Gerberas carrying FPV drones. Joint work by Raven crew from the 58th motor rifle brigade and Box crew from the 302nd anti-aircraft missile regiment.

Something that occurs to me is how xAI became the centrist / effective altruist chosen-villain talking point. "Sure, that one is bad, but data centres in general are fine". And.....now all their Claude Pro subscriptions are specifically powered by the one site they admitted was bad

ok, here it is. Happy birthday SDA

It's just... it's unbelievable. They did the thing! The Morgan McSweeney strategy was what they adopted, and then lost to Reform anyway!! They're then taking that as vindication of their approach when it literally brought about the precise exact result it was supposed to prevent!!

Probably worth dwelling on the fact that this close to zero impact on usage of X, and what it means about.......everything www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mun luottamus suomen poliisiin on ollut 0 sen jälkeen kun poliisi pahoinpiteli jonkun jonka tunnen (ei ollut syyllistynyt rikokseen) mutta silti tämä koko natsien pahoinpitelyihin liittyvä tapaus järkyttää. Mitä helvettiä oikeesti?! Ja MIKSI näillä poliiseilla on kasvot peitetty niin kuin ICE:llä?

Alles Gute zum Nazis-sind-Loser-Tag!

Poliisit esiintyvät naamioituneina ja Kelan ratkaisut tehdään nimettömästi. Enemmän ymmärrän Kelan virkailijoiden varjelua, vaikkei sekään hyvä merkki ole. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...

Keir Starmer says he was sent to Downing Street to do a job* and he will not quite until he has finished that job**. *destroy the Labour party **destroying the Labour party

"An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States." Attackers threatened to leak data from 275M students & faculty across nearly 9k educational institutions.

Poliisin nauttima syyttömyysolettama lienee karmaisevin tolkuttamisen ilmenemismuoto. Poliisi on toistuvasti jäänyt rysän päältä kiinni natsi ja rasistis sympatioista ja toisaalta ylilyönneistä ympäristö- tai ulkomaalaisaktivisteja kohtaan ja silti tolkuttajat pitää natsien suojelua sattumana.

EK eli hallitus on halunnut koko ajan tätä ilmaista työtä, että tehkää jotakin kerätkää vaikka risuja (mistä ei ole mitään hyötyä kellekään) ja nyt sit kun joku tekee jotakin ilmaiseksi niin menettää kaikki tuet.

Lappeenrannassa on juutalaisvastainen, natsisymboliikkaa kantava opiskelijaryhmä. Sattumalta siihen kuuluu eräs nuorempi Halla-aho. Kyllä, sukua valtakunnan pääfasistille.

Poliisi on useita kertoja kieltänyt allekirjoitanutta huutamasta äärioikeistokulkueelle kiinnoton ja niskoittelusakon uhalla. Siis kirjaimellisesti vaatinut vaikenemaan natsimarssin kulkiessa ohi. (11/17)

keir starmer is not a stabilising force in our country. he has caused this chaos by turning the labour party, a centre-left party, in to a far-right minority persecuting shitshow when that's not what anybody voted for. he needs to go and he needs to take 'labour together' with him.

*piss poor election results* keir starmer: i am taking responsibility for this... and it's someone else's fault obviously. thing is starmer, and the 'labour together' goons, think the failure here is that they haven't been fascist fast enough. that's why they think voters are pissed. too slow.
