I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

The far right melancholy we see with how they are obsessed with this fatalistic notion of decline is seen in their lamentation of Rhodesia. It was a failed project, but it represents the last gasp of sorts or attempt to save early 20th century white supremacist settler colonialism in Africa.

On this day 26 years ago I was a child watching another Palestinian child on tv, about my age, hide behind his dad & then get killed, because the soldiers shooting didnt value his life at all. His name was Mohammad al-Durra. 26 years later, the lives of Palestinian children matter even less.

We let them commit genocide with one party in office, let it continue at a more limited scale in the next and then started a disastrous war, in no small part, on their behalf. They need peacekeeping forces, not security guarantees

Brilliant @amyremeikis.bsky.social piece here - absolutely gut-wrenching that Nepal PM's speech got buried under the nonsense of AI doom-hype. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

“We have built a world with flawless logistics for war, and broken logistics for food, and this is not Nepal’s private misfortune. Ask Bangladesh, ask Bhutan, ask India, ask the Maldives, ask Pakistan, ask Sri Lanka, ask any other country in our region, and you’ll hear the same account.

“Hit by the climate, we did not warm, and again hit by the wars, we did not start.”

Shah is right. Nepal contributes less than 0.1 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. It does not have the institutional or global power to force change, even as its people are swamped by the consequences of inaction.

“Our glaciers are retreating, our mountain slopes are becoming unstable, our rivers are becoming less predictable and every major disaster threatens to erase years of development,” he told the UN.

Enhancing grainy images and videos with generative AI to identify key missing details often produces inaccurate and unreliable results. AI models have no reference as to what missing details in a grainy image/video look like, and often generate those details based on an incorrect guess.

I honestly don't know enough about the Russia case to say for sure. But it's the same move as "Versailles created Hitler," which I *know* is not correct, and "US efforts in Afghanistan created the Taliban/Al-Qaeda," which is only partially correct. It *feels* right narratively, but it's not.

TLDR: In 2020 when still on paper, the PNRR was a massive opportunity to push Italy towards a better 21st economy. We might say, a non-FF climate-resilient one. As of today, we can say it *did* push the country towards productive green-coded investments. But far from non-FF climate-resilient ones.

And above all, there is a sense that the end of the Cold War did not represent a transition to a new and more stable order, but rather heralded the opening of a period of disorder and further decline of US hegemony. "Further" decline, because US hegemony was seen to have entered decline in the 70s.

Another couple thoughts from this reading stack. First, we (I?) often think back on the post-Cold War period as triumphalist and the opening of a new era of possibility, but a lot of the writing from the period is pessimistic and filled with anxiety about the prospects ahead.

I tend to disagree with both the dual use minimizers and maximizers. It's simply a fact that you need to use missile parts to participate in an advanced economy. Silicon valley was a defense hub. There is no practical way of policing this line anymore

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

A cow, standing in front of the dovecote in Bruton, Somerset, about a month ago. Lovely town. Beautiful architecture. Had a chat with a really nice lady from an old farming family after I took this. Sadly quite a few stuck-up down-from-London snotbags live there these days and houses cost a fortune as a result.

On 16 September 1982, Lebanese Phalange militiamen allied with Israel stormed into the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut and massacred over 3,000 civilians. Israeli troops surrounded the camps, and allowed the militias to kill for days. 44 years later, no one has been held accountable.

Photo of an alleyway in the Sabra refugee camp with wall featuring a memorial for the Sabra and Shatila massacre perpetuated on September 16, 1982. The graffiti on the memorial says (in Arabic): "Lest We Forget."
