Ransomware suspending hospital operations? That’s an actual horror story…
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
I’ve been meaning to look into the history of how the secular left was crushed in much of the Middle East. Thanks for the reminder.
I was already blocking ads since long ago, so what really bugs me now is the heavily degraded and incredibly off-putting search results these days. (Fixed that godawful UI change right away too, and I’m just not over having to use an outside search engine for accurate results.)
Yes, because a stern talking to will make all the difference, when they’re already attacking people there either way.
Never even mind how at first I somehow thought the headline stopped before “until,” and continued at Biden. 🙄
Or that (if I’m not mixing events in my head), only 4 of the 22 killed in that attack were even adults.
It doesn’t. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It’s a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of “civilization” and “progress” are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible on what we know.
That’s highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can’t imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.
India and Israel are just farther along on the same path we’re on in multiple countries in the West. Fascism feeds off the rising inequality and exploitation of Capitalist excesses. It could easily have barrelled ahead further here first if dominant groups here were any less accepting of cultural differences (we could still do better, but we’re at least at the bare minimum of civility) AND if we weren’t as religiously unaffiliated and/or atheistic*.
(*This is not a knock at spirituality. I only say this because another calling card of fascism is for the dominant local culture’s religion to be contorted into its absolute worst, most corrupt possible form so it may be weaponized in whipping up monstrous sentiments towards outcast groups.)
With all the Jeff Taylor farmers’ revolt garbage that get pushed at my father on Youtube (even though the content he actually chooses has never been like that), I was expecting this to happen for a while now. We’re not in Europe ourselves, but the media onslaught by certain interests has clearly done its job.
Heard this earlier today, and felt some hope the added pressure could make a difference.
I also learned today that Indonesia is bringing a separate ICJ case about the 75 years of illegal occupation, and president Herzog was informed at the WEF in Switzerland that their Attorney General is considering waiving diplomatic immunity due to criminal charges against him.
From what I’ve read, it seems Israeli citizens fear the Hannibal Directive (originally about killing their own soldiers rather than letting them be taken hostage) is secretly being applied to civilian hostages. It was supposed to have been retired several years ago, but there are accusations from within Israel it was implemented on Oct 7th (for the portion of people killed by the IDF), and possibly for all the Israeli hostages that have been killed so far by the IDF in separate incidents.
And apparently also the undead threat – 16 cemeteries bulldozed, per CNN.
Not any more so than the babies left to die in unpowered incubators after that gunpoint hospital evacuation.
AKA Revisionist Zionism.
And what a coincidence-- Bibi just so happens to come from a family that ascribes to that specific variant of Zionism!
JFK also wanted to shut down the CIA and was critical of Israel.
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
