They said every time he gets it wrong and supports war crimes he gets a book deal to explain and I said that sounds like they're just feeding book deals to war criminals and then their editor started crying.

Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter.

A long time ago I was at a meeting in Cambridge university and one of the philosophy students there refused to accept that China, India etc had made any contributions to philosophy, calling it 'just mysticism.' It seems silly now, but those are the people who are now running the departments I guess

I got 11 but nothing on the postman clothes so maybe you saw the last one I missed. His bag is upside down though.

Thomas Piketty: 'In the face of Trump's militaristic drift and looming disaster, Europe must equip itself to have global influence' COLUMN. Following the intervention in Venezuela, the war against Iran launched by the US president signals yet another admission of weakness by the United States, observes the economist in his column....

β€œTo break out of the deadlocks of the past, the solution is not to keep increasing military budgets, which already reach considerable levels in EU. What is urgently needed is the establishment of common structures that allow for democratic and pluralistic decision-making on both Iran and Ukraine. β€œ

It's interesting how this is the exact opposite of their raid on Venezuela. There they left everything intact minus Maduro. Here, as you say, they seem to be calling for negotiations while making sure there is no one to negotiate with. It seems mostly similar to the Israel strategy against Hamas.

just as Francis Bacon understood that the technology of print was latent in writing itself, so too is the technology of radio latent in the internet (in both conceptualization and functioning) and increasingly becoming visible as the technology that lies beyond the internet--? #othernetworks 1/2

Yes, it's all very well set up for a true peer-to-peer decentralised system.

I remember making my first radio out of parts from an electronics catalogue as a teenager and feeling the magic as voices from far away lands suddenly started to be heard, even without a power source.

The oil shock of 1973 sent the price up about 50% iirc. But the night is still young.

I like that, thank you. Maybe as the US-dominated infrastructure of the internet becomes less central we will see these other ways of being collected becoming more important.

I would like that to be the case. Do you mean radio as in audio and/or radio as a series of transmitters and receivers in connection?

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.
