One woman is a mother of 9. Her husband says one isn’t his. The other woman’s husband abandoned her after she gave birth to their first baby – 7 years ago. Now he’s back and accusing her of adultery.
For these ‘crimes’, courts sentenced them to a cruel and painful death by stoning – after a sham trial where the women didn’t even have lawyers.

@hex@kolektiva.socialThe people building LLMs are trying to kill all humans. Literally. They are exterminationists who want to replace human life with AI and upload their brains to the cloud. They're AI death cultists.
They are the enemy. Anything that empowers them, at all, in any way, is unethical and suicidal.
I don't think admitting that there can be good use cases for LLMs does that, because the use cases are not being served by all this training. The *reason* they keep training is that they're trying to make LLMs do something that isn't possible.... because they're cultists.
That's the point, IMHO.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialYesterday I finished "The Other Side of Tomorrow" written by Tina Cho and illustrated by Deb JJ Lee. Lee's "In Limbo" was an excellent graphic memoir, and this similarly has wonderful art, although I didn't make the connection until checking the authors after reading to the end.
This book is a realistic fictional account of two childrens' escape from North Korea via China, Laos, and ultimately Thailand where they could declare themselves refugees at a US embassy and get sponsored to live in America. Along the way they're helped by various members of the Asian Underground Railroad. I'll avoid spoilers but yet definitely encounter difficulties along the way.
The ending definitely hits different now (while also accentuating my disgust with the current US regime). Like "Libertad" that I also finished recently, the "escape to the US at the end" plot line is going to become less prevalent going forward, although Libertad involved a good measure of complexity around that point.
I was a bit disappointed in one of the later plot points where a different and more-real-world-probable turn of events could have served as a better message for society, with the "lucky" outcome as written reinforcing regressive notions of family, and as an ex-Christian the Christian elements of the story made me feel a way. I'm an agnostic, not an atheist though, and can respect the idea that those willing to risk torture and death for their faith have every right to stand by it and take inspiration from it. Most (very valid) critiques of big western Church institutions just don't apply to underground churches in northern China who are helping people escape the horrors of deep fascism.
Overall a really good book.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioMaybe the red line for you is deploying •active duty military• to Minnesota, and not just National Guard. They did that in LA with marines — briefly, just a little, just in the background, little or no confrontation — and that too got smacked down hard.
That one’s a pretty bright red line. Domestic deployment of the military is in fact the origin of the phrase “crossing the Rubicon:” when Julius Caesar led troops across the Rubicon river, leading the troops to invade his own country, that marked the beginning of civil war in Rome, and a death knell for democracy.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social“ Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death” 🤔
https://www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-files-reveal-prosecutors-announcement-dated-before-his-death/
@hex@kolektiva.socialOn the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

@cdarwin@c.imAn Afghan man who fought with U.S. forces and was legally evacuated to the U.S. after the fall of Kabul
died this week within a day of being arrested by federal immigration officers in Texas, according to his family.

@cdarwin@c.imSince November, a total of 35 people across California have been poisoned by mushrooms,
leading to three people receiving liver transplants
in addition to the three deaths.
Health officials in Sonoma County reported the latest death last week.

an extraordinary boom in the prevalence of death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides),
noting that in an average year the state sees…
@cdarwin@c.imFederal immigration officers have started using Renee Good’s death to threaten more U.S. citizens.
A video posted to Reddit showed a screaming ICE agent repeatedly threatening to kill a man who was sitting in his car, asking how he didn’t “learn from what just happened.”
In the two-minute clip, a masked agent wearing a Minnesota Timberwolves hat approached the vehicle already furious, while the driver rolled down his window.
“Stop fucking following us, you are impeding opera…

@cdarwin@c.imA drastic rise in the reported death toll came as Iranian authorities intensified their crackdown on the protests, now in their second week.
Rights groups were struggling to reach contacts within Iran due to a complete internet shutdown in the country, and warned that the death toll was likely to climb even further.
The brutal crackdown has raised the likelihood of US intervention, with Trump saying he would “rescue” protesters if the Iranian government killed them.
He rei…
@cdarwin@c.im"Killers of Roe" is a new book by the reproductive rights journalist Amy Littlefield
on what she describes as the death of abortion rights in the United States.
The book is framed as a murder mystery, examining a
“twisted alliance of believers and opportunists” in the years and decades before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
“It started out as a murder mystery because it was a way to entice myself to tell a really difficult story about wom…
