“…what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China. The administration is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political and cultural preferences for generations to come.
This is not just a fantasy. It is something for which the administration has acquired the funding and a path forward. It lacks only the personnel and enough detention spaces.”

I've started reading "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graebar, and it makes me think a lot.
One thing I'm particularly thinking about is my parents' generation. How they keep criticizing all the social support ("there is no money for that", "undeserving people get it"), combined with taking advantage of any social support they can get without much effort ("others use it", "we deserve it"). And of course criticizing subsequent generations (because my parents had it so rough, with all the social support given by the quasi-socialist People's Republic of Poland, and now everything is so great under late-stage capitalism and people "are just lazy and don't want to work").

As a republican (ie. someone who wants a republic, and not one of the members of the US crazy party by the same name) in a constitutional monarchy, the rallying call «No kings!» takes on a different meaning here.
I mean, our king is quite sane and nice, but we still should not have kings.
30 years of connecting Czech science, research, and education. Happy anniversary, CESNET! 🎉
What started as an initiative by Czech universities and the Czech Academy of Sciences has grown into a national digital backbone spanning more than 5,600 kilometres and connecting hundreds of institutions across the Czech Republic.
Our CEO Lise Fuhr was honoured to join the celebration and offer GÉANT's congratulations in person.

From The Conversation
Israel wants to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. But should it have nuclear weapons itself?
Israel’s avowed goal in the Middle East war is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Yet, the double standard associated with this is hardly sustainable in the long run.
The worst-kept secret in the world of nuclear politics is that Israel possesses a formidable arsenal of nuclear weapons.

“Since the Islamic Republic was established in 1979, Chaharshanbe Suri has also taken on political significance in Iran. The country's theocratic government has discouraged the celebration, arguing that its ancient Iranian origins are a "pagan relic". Because of this tension, the festival sometimes becomes a political event, with large public gatherings serving as opportunities for anti-regime demonstrations.”

Gulf states have spent months trying to avoid a regional war, only to be dragged into one against their will
Gulf monarchs lived in fear of such scenes.
They scrambled to dissuade Donald Trump from attacking and to push the Islamic Republic to make a deal.
Their efforts failed
—and now the war they dreaded has come to the Middle East.
The conflict began with a wave of strikes by American and Israeli warplanes on the morning of February 28th.

Trump appears to careen between two opposing visions for victory in Iran:
He has demanded Tehran’s “unconditional surrender”
and also has signaled that he might abruptly declare victory and leave.
Neither scenario is likely to end this war, because neither reflects any real understanding of the adversary.
Washington appears to have begun the conflict on the assumption that sustained military pressure would either collapse the Iranian regime or force its leadership to…
