1/ Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centres are having a severe impact due to the highly centralised nature of Russia's digital economy, in contrast to Ukraine's decentralised approach. Fears are growing that it could cause a banking crisis. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/jayi...

It's just another variant of Social-Darwinism Brain. Everything is Evolution(TM), races are like species, sexes are like species, and every such "species" is driven at an unavoidable, immutable animalistic level for That Which Boosts The Genepool(TM). Anything else is "denial of biological reality"

I always thought the brexiters made a bad error when they ignored the abstainers and treated the 48-52 voters as being the entire population.

It's the stage of the Irish language preceding the Old Irish period. Poorly attested, mainly in the form of Ogham stones and names of people and places.

One of worst things that can happen to a religion is becoming the official religion of a state. Sooner or later, terrible things are done using the religion as a justification.

In 1953, the Royal Commission on Capital Punishment emphatically concluded that a firing squad was an inadequate method of execution, as it “needs a multiplicity of executioners and it does not possess even the first requisite of an efficient method, the certainty of causing immediate death.”
