The Oct 7 attack by Hamas was a horrific act against Israelis that made everything worse for Palestinians, the Israeli government committed war crimes, Hezbollah is a fascistic organisation that exploits its community, the IRGC feeds off endless war at home and abroad All these things are true

Let's talk about the animal with ONE MOUTH and a HUNDRED BUTTS: Ramisyllis multicaudata. I'm going to give you the "short" version and then point you at a wonderful article written by Jennifer Frazier for the Scientific American.
Fragment of the anterior end of an individual living worm (Ramisyllis multicaudata) dissected out of its host sponge. Bifurcation of the gut can be seen where the worm branches. The yellow structure is a differentiation of the digestive tube typical of the Family Syllidae.

brings me no joy to say that Fukuyama nailed it
But supposing that the world has become "filled up," so to speak, with liberal democracies, such that there exist no tyranny and oppression worthy of the name against which to struggle?
Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier gen-eration, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle. They will struggle, in other words, out of a certain boredom: for they cannot imagine living in a world without struggle. And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterized by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, then they will struggle against that peace and pros-perity, and against democracy.

I've not heard of either publication, one is the author's substack, so I can't evaluate how good either of them are in terms of reporting. The author seems to have a decent resume. I do find it hard to believe that anyone at the CIA or read onto the compartment for this assessment would leak it. 1/

Going to be real clear about this one: I am someone who has loudly said something like the first for years, while *also* now saying "LLMs may not living beings but you should treat them with respect anyway because otherwise you'll socialise yourself to be an asshole." I'm consistent on this point.

On the other hand a good way of keeping the AfD below 20% in Niedersachsen and other West-Bundesländer would be to circulate clips of Steimle's show to a big Wessi audience. The "Ostalgie" Partei model is an electoral trap for the AfD as much as it was for the PDS

Two masked 'patriots' holding signs at a demonstration against migrants in Lithuania. One sign reads, 'A Lithuanian Lithuania is better for business than cheap labour'; the other reads, 'Deport criminal foreigners'.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.

Screenshot eines Tweets von Mike Primavera (@primawesome) vom 30. September 2019, in dem einzelne Wörter des Originaltexts durch deutsche Begriffe überschrieben wurden. Der Text lautet sinngemäß: "Meine Regierung sagte mir, Ölkonzerne essen ständig seinen Tankrabatt. Ich fragte, wie viel Geld er hat, und er sagte, er geht einfach zum Steuerzahler und bekommt danach neues Geld. Da sagte ich, es klingt, als würde er nur Steuergeld an Ölkonzerne verfüttern, und dann fing seine Umfragewerte an zu weinen."

Es handelt sich um ein Meme: Die Vorlage ist ein Witz über einen Coyoten, der immer wieder die Katzen seines Nachbarn frisst. Hier wird sie auf den Tankrabatt übertragen, um zu kritisieren, dass der Rabatt letztlich bei den Mineralölkonzernen landet und aus Steuergeld finanziert wird.

The protests in India include the banner "Hum Auratein Azaad Hain" (translated as "We Women Are Free"). #HumAurateinAzaadHain #DUProtest #WomensSafety
• The Main Sign: Held aloft in the upper center by raised arms, a large white cardboard placard features handwritten text in black and red marker that reads: "Imagine if WOMEN felt as SAFE as MEN feel OFFENDED".
• Surrounding Protesters:
	• In the center foreground, a person with dark hair, glasses, and a blue medical face mask looks forward.
	• To the left, a person holds up a dark blue poster featuring a black-and-white portrait of a bearded public official with text at the top reading: "WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER IS SILENT".
	• To the right, another individual wearing a face mask holds a sign with handwritten Romanized Hindi script reading: "ACCHA UNCLE AAPKI SOCH ... MERE KAPDE HAI".
The image shows students and members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) protesting for women's safety in New Delhi, India.
