Toni Morrison: “Racism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new, or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health; fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.”

The Irish government aiding this is fucking unconscionable. Unforgiveable. History will remember this as Nazi collaboration, because that's what it is
Next, this Journey ICE flight that landed in Tel Aviv on Jan. 21 held eight Palestinians, who were transferred to the West Bank and released, according to @haaretzcom.bsky.social.

Tánaiste Simon Harris has said AI is “no longer a concept” and is “here to stay” following a recent visit to San Francisco.
Harris said that as he travelled though San Francisco, he was “struck” by the “unavoidable reality” of how AI is “woven into daily life”.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

Our children’s funniest Christmas memory is when Santa’s reindeer pooped on our car. It looked like potting compost with gold glitter mixed in it, right on the windscreen. The kids laughed for an hour. Parents, maybe get your kids to check outside for reindeer poop this year 😉

What if instead of killing millions of people in pointless war we just kill the handful of guys constantly trying to force us into it
I stood at the grave of my great grandfather in Flanders. His grave is one of millions from WWI in Belgium alone. We must take the lessons from history and resist this march to mass slaughter and warmongering by the likes of Mark Rutte.

Scandalously at 1am, the government has just pushed through a law with far reaching ramifications.
It allows them to sign up to a parallel court process only accessible by corporations. There they can sue Ireland if we do anything to interfere with their "right" to profit.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
