It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Some things never change.
Asked by their hosts at Tonkin (Trinh) in 1672 'which was ye Greatest Kingdome England, France, or Holland', the East India Company factors there responded 'the fame of Great Brittiagne was great all over Europe', but added they shouldn't praise themselves. #earlymodern
A manuscript in a tidy hand reading ' ... hasked us alsoe which was ye Greatest Kingdome England France or Holland'.

I often tell students that one of the major differences between modernity and pre-modernity is that pre-modernity regarded "innovation" as a very bad thing.

Helt seriöst nu: vad ska folk göra?
Demonstrationer är inte ok.
Skriva brev är inte ok.
Ska vi äta kanelbullar medan människor och samhällen bokstavligen raderas från jordens yta?

Det första offret i ett folkmord är maria malmer stenergard som måste öppna så många mail
UD har fått in 70 000 mejl om de svenska aktivisterna efter att de greps av Israel.

Maria Malmer Stenergard riktar nu hård kritik mot från Global Sumud Flotilla som uppmanat folk att kontakta myndigheten via mejl och telefonsamtal.

Kind of like when I was in Prague, looking at the map and thinking about what to explore. I saw the "new city" and thought, "no, that's probably not so interesting," and then I read that the "new city" was from the 1300s 🤣🤣

As a historian, I truly like the "foreverized pastness" part of this. And I agree, on a daily basis we are floating towards a permanent establishment of badly manipulated memories. A plural of nonsense histories. #skystorians

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

"Nu berättar Greta Thunberg om upplevelsen i det israeliska fängelset.

– Folk svimmade och när vi bad om läkare och livsnödvändiga mediciner satte de upp till 60 personer i jättesmå burar och sa att de skulle gasa oss, säger hon." www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/W0...
Gretas första ord på svensk mark: ”Utsattes för tortyr”
Det var tyst från Greta Thunberg på Arlanda. Men nu berättar hon om upplevelsen i det israeliska fängelset. – Extrema fysiska övergrepp och tortyr, säger hon.
