And people keep being suprised by the regular genocides that *keep fucking happening*. And yes, call what ICE is doing what it is. It is a gencoide. Even if it's not killing millions of people (yet), the "genocide" doesn't mean "killing logs of people" it means "trying to wipe out a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group." What the fuck is ICE trying to do? They're carrying out ethnic cleansing. It's genocide.
Genocide in Gaza, genocide in Syria, genocide in Turkey, China, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Serbia... why the fuck does it keep happening? I'll tell you why. It's states.
People like to think of countries and ethnic reagions as the same thing, but they aren't. They never have been. There's never been clear divisions between ethnic groups. But the existence of the state depends on a shared identity. When the truth is more complicated, the state must find a way to fix that. The solution is genocide. You can't separate the two. There can be no state without genocide. The mechanism to carry ou the kind of mass murder and the incentive to do so are really not easy to put together without the state. The state makes genocide viable, and the state demands genocide to protect it's own existence.
Every election is a dice roll. Every state is on a clock, waiting for the luck to run out. And the worst people possible are just waiting for their chance to win and carry out those genocides in order to lock in their power.
Never again means nothing unless you are attacking the root of genocide: the state.

It's What's Inside (2024) - Eight friends with somewhat messy relationships spend a night screwing around with mind swaps (or body swaps).

I saw the "You are not your job" post on HN. My thoughts:

- If you don't have enough space between your job and your identity, you aren't going to do very well when things go south at work
- Code for fun (I do it a lot), but also make a point of having a hobby that has nothing to do with your computer.

Wrongful Conviction, Qualified Immunity, and the Cost of Being Forgotten
A mistaken identity, an AI-driven arrest, and the long shadow of wrongful conviction—this post explores how easily lives can be upended and how little accountability follows. Even after release, the damage lingers in ways money alone can’t repair.

Good Morning #Canada
Tod Maffin, former #CBC Broadcaster, is now referred to as an expert on Canadian culture and Identity, and a viral content creator. If you have followed Tod over the past few years you have seen a progression from explaining Canadians to our southern neighbours to becoming politely militant in the face of an increasingly hostile U.S. government. His latest contribution deserves the Order of Canada and a superhero cape. He launched a social media campaign to attract American #Healthcare workers to his community and from there the Healthcare Infusion Organization was born. There are now 20 chapters across Canada focused on recruiting and supporting doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals in local communities facing staff shortages. He has done more to improve Canadian Healthcare than any level of government in this country.

There are (sort of) two kinds of coders: those who see it as just a well-paying, stable job, and those who do it on nights and weekends because they love it, and it’s part of their identity. Today’s LLM tools now enable an individual to essentially be an entire software _factory_, and this is going to impact those 2 kinds of coders very differently — especially in how they respond to *both* of their bosses trying to put them out of work.

»Was ist Keycloak und was hat es drauf?«
Mit dem muss ich mich wirklich mal ernsthaft auseinandersetzen und nicht das Login "neu erfinden". Das Passwords so wie Passkeys jedes mal "neu" zu implementieren macht null Sinn. Cool wäre es, wenn Keycloak früher oder später auch PASETO & Co. integrieren wird.

This long-piece investigative report from #Reuters about #Banksy is quite riveting. They claim to know the identity of the elusive graffiti artist and while they don’t have definite proof, they do provide a very compelling set of evidence.

I tootled into Downpatrick (its cathedral said to be the burial place of the man himself) late on St. Patrick's day, in the Land Rover.
I was struck by some senses of Irish identity: people with shamrock face-paint, tricolours wrapped around the shoulders, even the odd wave to my old green car, but also the more sinister: republican scarves and sunglasses on a cloudy day.
Let's hope the positive aspects of being Irish remain the norm, particularly in this place, yeah?

I also think that Standing Rock has already brought this up for some of the folks I'd otherwise be talking to. I'm definitely not early to the party here.
I'm just coming back to this from recently finishing "Safety Through Solidarity" (a book everyone should read) and thinking about my own identity.
One of the things that came up in the book was the potential intersection between Haredim and anarchists on prison reform and abolition. Yet, we tend to neglect this opportunity for collaboration, I think for such reasons as I'm talking about.

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
