Uh Oh!
Corporate "Democracy" is about to label #Mali as "terrorists". They already call the government a "junta" in this article.
Mali is trying to make rich white people pay taxes and obey laws.
"Mali rewrote its #mining laws last year to increase state and local ownership in the industry and extract more money from international companies."
"Mali has been battling a jihadist insurgency and uprisings by Tuareg rebels demanding independence since the 2011 Libyan civil war."
"In September, the government detained four local employees of Barrick Gold, the world’s second largest goldminer by market capitalisation, for four days."
"In October it nationalised the Yatela mine, which had been dormant since 2016 and in which South Africa’s AngloGold Ashanti and Canada’s Iamgold each had a 40% stake, with the government owning the remaining 20%."

Neighbour is back, pounding on my door. This has happened so many times, usually it's the landlord harrassing single female tenants.
10 min later...
This guy was hiding on the fire escape when my delivery came.
I saw someone through my peephole so I opened the door, it was "him" waiting for the elevator. I closed the door, guessing my delivery was coming up in the same elevator he was waiting for.
Instead of waiting, he hid on the stairs. I could see his shoes.
Why does a super rich guy target a disabled woman? Screaming in hallways, hiding on stairs. Banging on my door.
He says my cats stink. And he smells it all the time. They do not. The front door, when opened, lets in a whooosh of air. It is sealed.
So what is going on?
Another hate crime? Do you know how many times men have fucked up a womans life, just because he can. No protections. The more she holds resolve, the meaner they get. Over and over and over for 38 years.
Then the internet, EXACTLY the same. Death by a thousand cuts. Death by 17 thousand cuts. Cut 4.7k more from me
Why?
Why do you hate anyone who can survive in your world without you?

What is the income tax rate in the US, lowest bracket? 2500 a month.
UK?
Oz?
Iceland is 46%
Even from disability checks.
Now they privatised it. It used to be separate. No interest on disability loans.
Now it's sold, on the first day, you owe double. I had an mri on the old payment plan. Paid half 3 years ago, then 300 a month.
It was scrapped. Sold to private debt collectors. That interest has been building. It doubles every month.
I did not know.
Now that 60Kr is one million.
60 bucks can turn into 100k
I'm not sure I can live with eternal debt of 1.5k a month.
I own nothing, I've never eaten in a restaurant, bought new clothes, had my hair cut, had a car. I've eaten ramen noodles and ridden a bike to work my whole life. This is my first home.
500 a month interest. 1k. Plus rent 1k
I guess this is it.

At least 17 killed in #Israeli strike on #school turned shelter in Nuseirat
Deaths in central Gaza come as Al Jazeera accuses Israel of targeting its journalists working in the war zone.
The civil defence agency said on Thursday it had been forced to suspend operations in northern Gaza after what it called threats from the Israeli military to “bomb and kill” rescue crews working in Jabaliya camp, the focus of the new Israeli offensive. Three workers had been wounded and another five arrested by the Israeli army, and the crews’ only working fire engine was destroyed by tank fire, he said.
A medic was killed by Israeli fire and another detained on his way to work, according to the Indonesian hospital, one of three struggling medical facilities still operating in the area, on Thursday.

Dozens killed in Israeli airstrike on school used as shelter in Gaza City
Doctors at the Kamal Adwan, al-Awda and Indonesian hospitals have refused to leave their patients despite evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military at the start of its assault on Jabalia.
Jabalia has been the focus of a devastating Israeli offensive for the last two weeks, with troops returning to areas of the north that came under heavy bombardment in the early months of Israel’s war in Gaza.
The entirety of northern Gaza is under Israeli evacuation orders. Among those who have remained in the north are disabled or elderly people and their families, who say it is too dangerous and difficult to move, my colleague Bethan McKernan writes in this story.

“Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong words. But on the other hand here am I sitting after half the morning, crammed with ideas, and visions, and so on, and can't dislodge them, for lack of the right rhythm. Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than any words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it.”

"There is a rumble in the sky and all the world can hear it call
They shutter at the fury of the mighty Thunderball
The power of her engines, now, has drowned in the sea
But the deadly force from within her is somewhere running free
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand
Somewhere, there is a man who could stop the thing in time
He is known by very few but he’s feared by all in crime
By courage and by fighting, he has not been known to fall
But neither has the fury of the mighty Thunderball
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand
Money hungry minds need a thread to launch a scheme
But those, who hold the Thunderball, could rule the world, it seem(s)
Cannot the peaceful world find the clue to where she’s gone
The silent sea won’t answer now but terror lingers on
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand."

"The police officers were not wearing uniforms and she was concerned they might not have been police at all and she might have been abducted.
As Sarah points out, she is a 69-year-old woman who suffers from Crohn’s disease, and she cannot eat without medication.
Throughout her detainment, Sarah was denied her medication and therefore could not eat."

Jean Baudrillard 1981
"The fourth stage is pure simulacrum, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims. This is a regime of total equivalency, where cultural products need no longer even pretend to be real in a naïve sense, because the experiences of consumers' lives are so predominantly artificial that even claims to reality are expected to be phrased in artificial, "hyperreal" terms. Any naïve pretension to reality as such is perceived as bereft of critical self-awareness, and thus as oversentimental."

Did you have kids?

2024-08-20 15:37:28

"They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself."
~ Philip Larkin

❝Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE
• Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
• Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
• Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”
• Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish).
• Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
• Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
• Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

Reminds me of "Brazil"
A fly falls on the "computer" and they SWAT the wrong house.
It seemed so unbelievable at the time, that it was hilarious.
Now cops kill the wrong people all the time. Or just drone them.

Dorothy Day with her prison dress. In November 1917, Day went to prison for being one of forty women in front of the White House protesting women's exclusion from the electorate. She's one of the reasons why you can vote, and a reminder that voting shouldn't be taken for granted.

There would'nt be so many horror movies about mirrors if it didn't freak some of us out a little.

2024-08-17 20:37:46

Weird question. Has anyone had a natural aversion to mirrors? Like even catching my own reflection in a store window jerks me out of whatever I was thinking. When I was younger, I used to cry. Unrecognisable.
I have always had some aphasia for faces. Also, I guess I thought I was supposed to be a boy. Was very sad when I found out I couldn't grow a beard.
Or, I remembered how women and girls were treated in our strict patriarchy. I recognised that my future was set. I was jealous of their power and freedom, so unfair.
Children can forget all that, live in the imagination, flow through time until they come face to face with this "self" they are supposed to be.
The horror, the horror...

Never speak to the police if arrested.
This will become more common.
Silence. Complete.
Especially if innocent.
They can LEGALY LIE to you. You will want to fill the silence with chatter. Do not.
Shut up!
Hard for AUTISTICS, hard for PTSD, hard for all. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Gaza is coming. Torture is coming. If you said anything in your life that was anti-authoritarian, they know.
You will get our quicker with silence.
Ask the minorities.

I'm getting weird links about how viking men were small and the women were large. It started when they found female warrior graves, then it's been getting weirder and weirder. Now just tweets saying female and male bones are indistinguishable.
Wait, what? Im no scientist, but hip bones are different. Now theyre saying bones are a spectrum. I said, spectrum is light, not matter. And I feel I'm being punk'd.
Send me the papers. I say. They say I'm homophobic.
Ahhhhh! What! I'm a homo.
But my doctor says #longcovid doesnt exist and my mom says Jesus is cumming.
Google is shit and language means nothing.

Lol.I was wondering if they were on drugs. It was so weird. "Flesh and Blood."
"The production was plagued by adversities. There was great animosity amongst the Spanish, American, and Dutch crew and cast members. Actors were using alcohol and drugs on the set, while wind, heavy snowfall, and cold often disrupted filming, causing the movie to go over budget. Director Paul Verhoeven called it the worst filming experience of his life, one that made him consider quitting making movies altogether."

2024-08-16 14:11:36

Fell down a Rutger Hauer hole. Now on Nighthawks, where cops are anti killing and have to be taught to murder civilians.
Started with The Hitcher, Ladyhawke, Flesh and Blood, wow, that one was weird and cool, another era. Go-ry.
Still a better love story than reality.

I could see my old posts today.on Shitter, still suspended. But this is what we were Tweeting about. The sales. The shareholders.
All my Tweets at the time of the suspension were about investors and hedge funds and land deals.
Million Dollar Homes: Gaza
Selling Sunset: West Bank
But it was worse, the sales were held inside Synagogues. Causing protests. The protesters were arrested.
