L’assistente del ministro degli Esteri iraniano Alireza Yousefi, ha espresso la "ferma protesta" della Repubblica islamica contro quelle che Teheran considera posizioni "interventiste e irresponsabili" da parte di esponenti del governo tedesco. Yousefi ha ricordato il sostegno della Germania all’Iraq durante la guerra degli anni Ottanta, inclusa la fornitura di armi chimiche, accusando Berlino di non aver mai perseguito i responsabili né risarcito le vittime iraniane.

The tragedy, Scotland’s tragedy, is that too many talented youngsters are lost to the arts because they are persuaded by parents or carers and teachers that they need to get a “proper” job instead. Worse still, too many of them just never get a chance to experience the comprehensive joy which can accompany listening or watching the top talents in their sector.

'in fact, few groups in society are as universally disliked as ethical vegans, vegetarians & advocates for animal rights. one study found that of all reviled groups in society, <only drug addicts were evaluated more negatively than vegetarians>.'

one thing i would say is that, imo, people are more likely to express their bigotry on the internet than they are to do so directly to your face.

I want to finish editing A Druid's Choice so I can actually publish it this month.
Lost a few days to brain fog and compassion.
And of course, I want to keep writing in my WiPs.

Agreed.... as AI becomes more and more acceptable, not because it is better (hint.. it Isn't) but because it it removes us pesky workers and employers want that.
The only thing left, before it is too assimilated, is working with your hands, crafts and the arts.
I would rather see someone perform on a stage... than listen to an artificial created peace of music ... buy a hand made unique piece of art than a mass produced item or pay somebody to repair something than replace
With #AI jobs taking the 'Jobs' all we will be left with is UBI, acquired and learned skills plus employment that requires human interaction like nursing and care.
We should encourage kids in the arts... as proper jobs will be fewer and far between as the years advance.
