I USA foretrækker man at slå ihjel på en visuelt acceptabel måde, og da en dødelig indsprøjtning ligner noget, man får hos lægen, og minder om måden, hvorpå vi afliver kæledyr hos dyrlægen, er det blevet den foretrukne metode – uagtet det, som sker inde i kroppen«. politiken.dk/kultur/art11...

Shitgenstein

I met a traveler from an inland state
Who said: Two vast and humming racks of steel
Stand in the cornfield. Near them, on the plain,
Half buried in weed, a broken server face lies,
Its stilled fans, its dulled and blinking lights,
Tell that its builders knew the hype well
Which once ran through these halls, now cold and still,
The hands that fed them and the minds that made:
And on the switchroom wall these words remain:
“My name is Jensen Huang, CEO of CEOs:
Look on my cloud compute, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that great digital ruin, boundless and bare
The autumn fields stretch flat and far away.

The wish to have carmakers offer more affordable EVs, not just high-end models, is also reflected in the EU’s idea of offering extra incentives for small EVs ‘made in Europe’ (unfortunately in such a way that every small EV sold in the EU keeps the door open for a large fossil-fuelled SUV).

* Screenshot of a social media post by "lowqualityfacts" stating: "Boycotting Green Day after they insulted the MAGA agenda. Punk rock should NOT be political. Punk rock is about and has ALWAYS been about the following: -respecting cops. -upholding the patriarchy. -saluting the flag, standing for the national anthem, and unconditionally supporting the military."
 * Below the main post, a reply from "colin.carroll" reads: "dude, you're a f****** idiot every single punk rock band that has ever been not only every single John music except Nicki Minaj and kid Rock r have always always always always been about standing up for what's right no matter what. hell you cannot truly be a Green Day fan If you don't somewhat believe in what they believe in, they're not fascists like the mega f****** people are."
