Oddly enough, I think a lot of this is over. The energy we had just vanished off the face of the earth...
From wolfballs to EH, to here... Now, in a TWitter formatted place, not a Reddit one, when the bulk of us were drawn more to the reddit style...
It's just gone.
For the same reason that there was never much energy on Gab, there is not much energy here.
I'll stop pop in here or there, but I think that a lot of my activity is just done with these things.
I'm not a tech guy so the ins & outs of alt tech itself does not super excite me. My background in this is in blogging, and it feels like I have just put a lot of effort into platforms that
- Don't have large audiences
- Disappear
- Don't really grow
- Don't have unexpected, new, fresh interaction
This is not a complaint about anyone or anything here... It's more of just facts. I am not saying WHY that has happened, simply, I am saying that THAT is what has happened, for whatever reason...
And, in a sense, it has illustrated my own impotence: I am not interesting enough to gather an audience, and I failed to be a high profile poster or content provider... I failed the tech that was in my hands.

Real Madrid and Barcelona friendlies in Mexico marked by solidarity for Jenni Hermoso
https://english.elpais.com/sports/2023-08-30/real-madrid-and-barcelona-friendlies-in-mexico-marked-by-solidarity-for-jenni-hermoso.html
>The two Spanish giants played in exhibitions against Club América and Tigres to highlight the unity of women’s football in both countries amid the Luis Rubiales scandal
>The female soccer stars of the world are aggrieved that a sexist act has tarnished their crowning moment. Spain’s achievement in winning its first World Cup has been overshadowed by a non-consensual kiss by Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), on Jenni Hermoso during celebrations after the final against England at Stadium Australia. The pitch has become one of the spaces where players have demonstrated their solidarity toward Hermoso, a former FC Barcelona star who now plays for CF Pachuca in Mexico.
>Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium, a field still enchanted by the glories of Diego Maradona and Pelé, was given over to women’s soccer on Tuesday. For the first time, FC Barcelona’s women’s team played at the legendary stadium, taking on Club América Femenil, the reigning champions of Mexican soccer. At the same time, in northern Mexico, five-time champions Tigres faced Real Madrid, a side featuring Mexican player Kenti Robles. It was a night of women’s soccer at a time when the entire community of female players has been united in solidarity with Hermoso. Before both friendly matches, the players posed with a sign: “It’s over, you’re not alone!”
... Frankly, I think they have gone too far. It's bizarre.
Yes, it seemed inappropriate.... But to elicit this kind of response and turn it into an impetus for "social change," a new sort of #MeToo, strikes me as grandstanding and also going far beyond what one would normally expect.
But what do I know...

‘It’s over’: World Cup kiss becomes Spanish football’s #MeToo moment
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/27/spain-womens-football-jenni-hermoso-world-cup-kiss-luis-rubiales
They are really making a big deal out of this in Spain.
>Hours earlier, Luis Rubiales, the embattled head of the Spanish football federation, had lashed out at “fake feminism” and bemoaned what he called a “social assassination” in the reaction to his grabbing Hermoso by the head and kissing her on the lips during the medal ceremony at the World Cup. On Saturday, Fifa suspended Rubiales for 90 days, ordering both him and the federation to stay away from Hermoso and those close to her.
>The backlash against Rubiales’ conduct was swift. The World Cup champions said they would not play for the national team until the federation’s leadership was removed. More than 50 other female players said the same. On Saturday, nearly all of the coaching and technical staff for Spain’s women’s team resigned, joining the seven members of the Spanish football federation who reportedly responded to Rubiales’ speech with their resignation.
Guy is getting roasted.
>“In six days, feminism swept Rubiales away,” the El País journalist Isabel Valdés wrote on social media. “In six days #SeAcabó has replaced the kiss that Hermoso never consented to.”
>Condemnations of Rubiales’ behaviour cut across political lines. The country’s acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, called the kiss an “unacceptable gesture”, while the country’s acting equality minister, Podemos’s Irene Montero, described it as a “form of sexual violence that we women suffer on a daily basis and until now has been invisible”.
>The conservative People’s party, criticised by women’s groups for allowing the anti-feminist far right to gain a foothold in local and regional governments across Spain, also weighed in.
>“Spaniards don’t deserve this,” the party’s Cuca Gamarra told broadcaster Antena 3. “It’s a global embarrassment for the whole country and is tarnishing the incredible victory of a group of women who should be the only protagonists.”
You know you are onto something when the alleged regressives are in on this.
>Across Spain, many sought to broaden the conversation. No longer was this only the story of a team that had long wrestled with the perception that the federation saw them as less worthy than their male counterparts; what had played out on the world stage was a power imbalance that hit home for many.
>“To all the guys who are stunned by the reaction against Rubiales; it’s because this has happened to all of us,” the journalist Irantzu Varela wrote on social media. “With our boss, with our client, with our teacher, with our friend, with a stranger, with you?”
Honestly, I have no idea about Spanish culture, but it sounds like change could be appropriate.

Carlos Santana apologizes for anti-trans comments he made during a recent concert
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/carlos-santana-apologizes-for-anti-trans-comments-he-made-during-a-recent-concert/ar-AA1fJZf4
>Carlos Santana faced criticism on Thursday when a video of the musician making anti-transgender comments during a concert in New Jersey in July resurfaced on social media.
>“When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are,” the guitarist is seen saying in the clip.
>He continued, “Later on when you grow up, and you see things and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good but you know it ain’t right, because a woman is a woman and a man is a man — that’s it.”
>“Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business, I’m OK with that,” Santana added, before mentioning his closeness to his “brother Dave Chapelle,” who also faced criticism for anti-LGBTQ comments made in his 2021 Netflix comedy special “The Closer.”
>The criticism Santana faced on Thursday prompted the “Smooth” singer to release a statement on his Facebook page, where he wrote, “I am sorry for my insensitive comments.”
>“They don’t reflect that I want to honor and respect all person’s (sic) ideals and beliefs. I realize that what I said hurt people and that was not my intent. I sincerely apologize to the transgender community and everyone I offended,” his statement continued.

Donald Trump Arrested by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office - Mugshot Taken!

There is talk of him taking his motorcade to the Fulton County jail for processing.
What is really shocking is how insane this situation is:
>The indictment does not fundamentally concern actions taken in Georgia, but describes words spoken and actions taken by the Trump campaign in a variety of other states in their efforts to cast doubt on the controversial 2020 presidential election.
>The indictment charges several defendants with crimes merely for making statements that argued the 2020 election was stolen. It claims that actions such as holding public hearings in Pennsylvania amounted to acts in furtherance of an illegal conspiracy.
>Other “acts” that are referred to as furthering the conspiracy include tweets by then-President Trump encouraging people to watch public hearings in which allegations of voting irregularities were being made by Trump’s lawyers and witnesses.

Yes, that is correct. My interpretation would be that the one thing that Christianity is more than it is Libertarian is pacfiistic - a religion of turning the other cheek.
So I would go so far as to suggest the reason that there is no prioritization on rebelling against masters is a view that it is wrong to employ violence.
It is also worth noting that St. Paul literally threatens masters to treat their slaves rightly because they have their own master in heaven, meaning, they will be judged by how they treat their slaves, and based on Christian morality, this means zero unfair exploitation...
Hence why the more Christianity took root, the more slavery was abolished, with some shameful exceptions... But hypocrisy is to be expected from humans, isn't it?

They suffered under a military dictatorship for 26 years and became a re-emerging, problem riddled "democracy," based on free speech and the marketplace of ideas, and the best they can give us is an economy that continues to struggle and a judicial system that will put you in jail for having already very unpopular ideas... and where these ideas may be popular at all, they have become illegal to manufacture the people to be a reflection of what the government wants of them ideologically.
It is its own form of totalitarianism...

#Milei's proposal to switch #Argentina's national currency to the dollar is not radical in the least - it is an increasing reality as much of the national economy now operates in dollars, particularly wherever large sums of money are concerned:
In industries such as technology and finance, skilled workers are demanding salaries be paid in dollars. Companies, including MercadoLibre, Argentina’s largest tech company, increasingly are acquiescing. Most landlords in Buenos Aires now only accept payments in dollars. Ditto for Airbnb rentals. And the list goes on and on: musical instruments, divorce lawyers, imported leather — you want it, you cough up the greenbacks.
The use of the dollar, while hardly new here, is exploding across the country today as inflation soars above 100 percent and destroys the value of the pesos people lug around in their wallets and stick into their checking accounts.

Yet, there were also many rulers that presided over Israel that did what was wicked before God...
It is specific leaders who are referred to as God's anointed because they are righteous men loved by God, and through them God's grace was visited upon people. Yes, that is a part of God's will... But what about them is tyrannical?
For instance, in 2 Samuel 16, we see King David tolerating a man cursing him in public. Likewise, St. Gamliel said the same thing to the other Pharisees when he was the Sanhedrin:
"Therefore, in the present case, I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourself fighting against God." (Acts 5:38, 39)
So we see there is some precedent of both rulers and influential Bible figures and early Christians preferring liberty, and advising it, as part of divine providence.

A surprisingly Libertarian passage I came across:
"Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?" (Ecclesiastes 7:13)
It's really a cool to let things go. We cannot straighten out others - even if we succeed through coercive measures or cultural capture, we've only succeeded in putting their inner wickedness into a new context.
We've just put the wolf into sheep's clothes when we capture the culture; we just make ourselves totalitarians and lose all credibility by jailing moral perverts to increase worldly power in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole in imposing our personal spiritual values.
Let everything go, and approach people with personal humility, showing them the truth, when the time is right. We are not here to save society - it is crooked, and we cannot make it straight.

Can't believe that the Dillon - Logan fight is in... October.
Really want to see this.
No idea how #Dillon can keep up this pace of cooking Logan alive like this but I want him to.
At this pace he will be denying the Holocaust to piss off Logan by mid-September.

Alcohol, absolutely, beyond all reasonable doubt, is a drug that poisons people, and the illusion is that by drinking small amounts of it you are "OK."
Nicotine is an interesting one - you don't realize it really is a sort of drug until you do something like inhale while smoking a cigar or chew tobacco.
Caffeine... Man, I don't know. Chocolate has caffeine in it... and I just can't think of chocolate as this unnatural, poisonous thing to eat. I also think that while caffeine dependence may be a real and undesirable thing, we are not really at a point where we can consider caffeine as functioning as a drug, and thus I do not think of it as a poison.

But because of the angle, I think it's a sock... that is also a more convenient answer for me if my boss were to walk by and ask.

This #yakihonne seems like a really great resource - I will check it out.
What's great is that it interfaces with all of the rest of Nostr stuff, and I can imagine that they could develop an awful lot of features around it.
It's like a blog plus you can "curate," right, which makes it doubly good. It could be a space that is decent for archiving content.

We live in a truly fantastic timeline:
>Jeff Bezos’s space company, Blue Origin LLC, is responsible for large emissions of methane gas that have at times been large enough to be spotted from the International Space Station.
>According to data collected by the nonprofit group Carbon Mapper, the methane emissions were recorded leaking by a space station facility on June 4 from the West Texas ranch where Jeff Bezos’s company regularly tests its space rockets.
Can't wait for this particular oligarch to open his mouth about the #environment.

Absolutely no idea how this can be interpreted as a "threat" - putting the borderline senile President on the stand, who is partly impugned by the corruption charges #Hunter faces, sounds like a catastrophe waiting to happen.
The President's people are probably doing everything in their power behind the scenes to make sure that this does not happen - not only do they not want him associated with Hunter, but the guy is a gaff a minute speaker who drifts into strange, hallucinatory recountings of past events. The guy would be facing a criminal trial if he was held to the same standards as conservatives and they put him on the stand...

Tucker interview with Serbian President Vucic far him insisting that the reason for the conflict is essentially that NATO has always existed to keep Russia isolated and away from Germany.
If they shared an alliance, they would be a credible threat to American regional hegemony, which is exactly why the normalization of relations that could've happened through prolonged trade with the pipeline had to be recked...
And wrecked it was. Along with the German economy.

Some people joke about shooting everyone who tries to cross the border illegally...
Apparently some people just quietly do that:
>#Saudi border guards are accused of the mass killing of migrants along the Yemeni border in a new report by Human Rights Watch.
>The report says hundreds of people, many of them Ethiopians who cross war-torn Yemen to reach Saudi Arabia, have been shot dead.
>Migrants have told the BBC they had limbs severed by gunfire and saw bodies left on the trails.
>Saudi Arabia has previously rejected allegations of systematic killings.
They really be doing it just like they wish they could be doing it along the #Texas border...

This is one of those articles that people get obtuse about...
Objectively speaking, it can be good for the environment for there to be less humans that take up dramatic amounts of resources, consume huge amounts of energy, etc.
... And they do not have a problem with that point when it comes to pointing out that non-Europeans staying in the developing world is good for those numbers. They are ready to embrace this logic and see it to its end when it is time to be against immigration, but any of the logic that is employed to point out the ongoing ecological catastrophe is dismissed...
Which is dishonest.
I think it's possible to embrace both of these truths.

>“They will remove some of it, but levels that will be acutely and immediately toxic will get through,” said Andrew Whelton, a Purdue University researcher and expert in water contamination after wildfires in urban areas.
>The Maui fires damaged hundreds of drinking water pipes, resulting in a loss of pressure that can allow toxic chemicals along with metals and bacteria into water lines.

At the real bottom of the barrel of the conservative & Libertarian approach is an anti-utopian sentiment that no political system will be satisfactory enough to eliminate injustice, let alone some even larger and ever-shifting concept of poverty.

2023-08-18 07:03:14

What actually keeps me sympathetic to certain planned economic policies, though, is the necessity to keep businesses in check and protect nascent domestic industries.
It isn't wrong to provide some minimal social safety net policies and to moderate the levels at which the oligarchs profit from their businesses.
I am not really sure what this is - just a sort of 'national Capitalism' with a social welfare state... But it's so unexciting as an ideology it is nameless.

2023-08-18 07:01:56

Most of the injustices and imbalances that can be found in the free market will still be found in a planned economy... Plus many other new ones.
