I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

24.7.2023 02:03How to install Debian 12 Bookworm with a GNOME desktop“LastPass likely could have prevented this if they were more concerned about keeping their users secure than about saving their face. Their statement is also full of omissions, half-truths and outright lies. As I know that not everyone can see through all of it, I thought that I would pick out a bunch of sentences from this statement and give some context that LastPass didn’t want to mention.”
28.12.2022 09:59What’s in a PR statement: LastPass breach explained"Recently, the government gave us the Public Order bill that, that [sic] even one Tory peer described as an afront to a civilised society. Crackdowns on peaceful protest is the purview of China and Iran, not British democracy. And yet these reactionary fuckwits tell us it's Scottish primary school teachers who are holding us hostage. The bastards who wrecked the economy, squandered our reputation on the international stage, sold off any and all of the country's assets for a quick buck are getting their mates in the media to tell you that it's bus drivers, bin men, teachers, nurses, postmen, passport control workers and rail workers who are throwing the country to the dogs. Don't believe them; they are lying to you!"
16.12.2022 02:17Strikes!"The Boomerang is hitting Britain hard, especially right now. Empire wasn't just something that happened to the Colonies, it's something that happened to Britain. It created some of Britain's most well-loved institutions, from the NHS to its greatest talents. But it also created the unequal Britain we see today."
30.11.2022 22:55Boomerang"Will this segment even air on Sky TV in Britain? I honestly don't know! Maybe, maybe not. But if they do cut it out for being disrespectful, they won't want to seriously think about why. Why they and everyone else are working so hard not to offend a family whose name was branded into people's skin and who sit atop a pile of stolen wealth, wearing crowns adorned with other countries treasures."
15.11.2022 08:56The Monarchy: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver"Soziale Medien werden von Plattformbetreibern dominiert, die das eigene Interesse in den Vordergrund rücken und jede Entscheidung daran messen, wie sich eine Profitmaximierung erzielen lässt. Hat man das einmal verinnerlicht, wirft sich einem unweigerlich die Frage auf, was an sozialen Medien eigentlich sozial ist. Sozial bedeutet anderen zu helfen, was auch bedeuten kann, die eigenen Interessen zurückzustellen. Also im Grunde genau das Gegenteil dessen, wie kommerziell ausgerichtete Plattformen wie Twitter, Facebook und Co. agieren."

13.9.2022 11:08We the people who are darker than blue“Our parents and grandparents were recruited to Britain for its benefit, the terms and conditions of which my generation are still trying to make sense. We know how it feels to lack cultural continuity. Others in Britain enjoyed it at our expense. If continuity is an abstract subject, the other trappings of royal symbolism are more concrete. There were pompous reflections last week with the idea expressed in the Economist’s obituary that the Queen 'came from good Hanoverian blood'. If that sounds like a white supremacist idea, that’s because it is.”
13.9.2022 07:50This is a Britain that has lost its Queen – and the luxury of denial about its past“Too often we foolishly measure success in terms of a single actor’s fortunes. This is both short-sighted and irrational. It misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating.”
5.9.2022 15:26The big idea: why relationships are the key to existence"It happens subtly. It happens when we see the Governments making decisions based on self-preservation, based on cronyism, based on anything that will keep them in power, we see the concentration of power whilst avoiding any of the scrutiny or responsibility that comes with that power. It arrives under the guise of respectability and pride, that will then be refused to anyone who is deemed different. It arrives through the othering of people, the normalisation of human cruelty. Now I don't know how far down that road we are. Time will tell, but the things we do in the name of economic growth—the warning signs are there for everyone else to see, whether they admit it or not."
20.5.2022 21:52The warning signs are there for everyone else to see"Auch dieses Foto ist ein aktuelles Bild aus einem Krieg, den Putin gerade führt. Aber es wurde nicht in der Ukraine aufgenommen, sondern in Idlib in Syrien. Ein Krieg, den wir gerade zu vergessen scheinen, obwohl auch von dort zehntausende nach Deutschland geflohen sind aus Angst vor den Bomben Putins. Und, so groß die Hilfsbereitschaft für ukrainische Kriegsgeflohene gerade ist, so schwer macht es Deutschland den Geflüchteten aus Syrien, in diesem Land anzukommen. Die Menschenwürde ist unteilbar, sagt das Grundgesetz, und doch machen wir Unterschiede."
14.4.2022 06:30Geflüchtete aus der Ukraine und Syrien: Unterschiedlich willkommen in Deutschland?“None of this is to defend Putin’s brutality.
