This is why I kinda like the idea of orgmode and gptel in eMacs. Being able to fold up conversation and explore other paths comes pretty natural that way, since your chat becomes an outliner naturally.

Alle starren auf das Öl, aber durch die Straße von Hormus wird nahezu alles transportiert und ein paar Dinge, die wichtiger sind als Öl: Nahrungsmittel. Anrainerstaaten (VAE, Katar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Irak und Teile Saudi-Arabiens) importieren bis zu 80–90 % ihrer Lebensmittel. /2

Sanchez: “We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.

We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional and I would also say moral strength of our country

“The Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalised increase in energy prices.”

“But which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

More Sanchez: “23 years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

“And it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure and, in the process, fill the pockets of a few.”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

So while Merz was desperately attempting to suck up to the rapist in chief, it just made Trump fondle him.

Play fucked up games, win fucked up prices.

Man it really feels insane watching the global order break down in front of me. like is my anxiety disorder especially bad today, or am I aware of how supply chains work and able to read the news

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

Welche Radikal-Reformen braucht Deutschland? Mit Gabor Steingart YouTube video by Ronzheimer

Während der Rechtsextremismus sich weltweit breit macht und alle dazu nur auf die "AfD" blicken, haben sich die Reichen und ihre Edelfedern schon komplett radikalisiert. Finden die "Anti-Führerhaltung" von Deutschland schlecht etc.

Wir schlafwandeln in den Faschismus.

Spain has banned the USA from using its military bases.

THIS is what everyone should have done.

NATO Secretary Mark Rutte: "The commander in chief, the leader of the free world, President Donald J Trump -- I really commend what is happening here."

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Gottesstaat gegen Gottesstaat.

Is there a grift black hole
Is there a point at which there's too much grift and the grift will collapse

Consumption is what drives the US, make an effort to consume less. Choose one thing you can do without. What seems essential often turns out to be meaningless to you, sometimes even detrimental.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are actively shutting down anti-Israel views or criticism of the illegal war with Iran; X (Twitter) is manipulating the narrative by boosting MAGA and Israeli accounts while limiting the view of others. It’s a full censorship regime on US media.

With dev shells I tend to be kinda messy. Personally I like to see all the tooling. Linter and other optionals like LSP servers

@winter.razorgirl.diy you got quiet. Introspection? Maintenance? Transcendence?
