"The extreme left pointed at some books and said: ‘It hurts my feelings.’ The right-wing realised later, being slower, that they could weaponise this: ‘This book hurts MY feelings.’ Soon the only safe books will be books like ‘Cooking With Lettuce’."
Margaret Atwood letting nobody off the hook, in conversation live at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, live-streamed to 45 local library branches in Denmark.
Did you know that #Ancient #Roman priests had some odd rules?
The Flamines Dialis, priests to Jupiter, could never touch flour, yeast, or leavened bread—the reasons were based on purity.
Roman #bread was made of #wheat, & once ground into flour, it's neither what it was (a seed with germinative power) nor what it must become (#food). Yeast corrupts the dough it's mixed with. Neither was permissible!
Priests could also not have any knots in their attire or name a dog.

SNU : ENTERREMENT OU SIMPLE RÉPIT ?
On le savait, le macronisme se moque des promesses, des faits, des institutions et même des résultats électoraux. Quand le monarque fait un caprice, même s'il est massivement rejeté, il suffit de l'imposer par 49.3, à coup de grenades ou tout simplement d'ignorer une élection perdue. Parmi les caprices de Macron : le SNU.

Late night thought while working, has anyone tried to perform a (LFS) Linux From Scratch on mobile? If so what was the results? If not what would be the best way to start or accomplish this?

Every time I'm reconsidering a return to the world of Apple, they manage to put me off again… 🙄

This is just FUD.
The “Open” entry from the context menu no longer works on #macOS Sequoia but there are at least three solutions:
- Go to System Settings->Security and allow the app (recommended alternative)
- self-sign all your unsigned applications (geeky alternative)
- disable the check from the command-line (insecure alternative).
In all cases, this achieves what #apple intended: the end-user has to somehow manually allow an unsigned app to run in full awareness.

More annoying than extreme, but still, you think: ‘How much more of this do we have to listen to?’ No matter how much you want to cancel some of your fellow liberals, you need to pack it away before people are being sent to concentration camps.’
Margaret Atwood live on stage in Copenhagen, shortly after receiving the HC Andersen Literature prize and shortly before the US election that was a main topic of conversation on the night.

in reply to Ciara • • •"'But why let good real estate go to waste?’ they’ll ask.” They will continue after they've put the first targeted groups in the first camps, Atwood warned, reminding us of the gulags and the Night of The Long Knives.
“If people get power, they will do what they said they were going to do," she said, citing Project 2025 and speaking in a tone that was both patient and impatient, as if she was thinking, fairly: ‘If you’re paying any attention, you should know this. We should all know this.’

in reply to Ciara • • •“You can’t have a totalitarian regime just with leaders. There have to be people to carry things out. There has never been a totalitarian state without collaborators. So if you want to control women, you need women to do the controlling,’ said Margaret Atwood, giving the example of nuns using rulers to smack girls in all-girl schools for breaking rules that control their appearance.
“Every 50th person in East Germany was a spy,'she also noted.

in reply to Ciara • • •“Ah, the ‘90s. "Oh good," we thought. "The Cold War is over, we can all go shopping, forever." Things were normalised. Literature was normalised. After the Wall fell, after samizdat, we got trashy literature. The Robber Bride came out in Poland and the Polish cover was a woman in black lace with enormous pointy bosoms. “I thought: there’s going to be a lot of disappointed men out there.”
Margaret Atwood, in conversation after being awarded the 2024 HC Andersen literature prize.

in reply to Ciara • • •“There is no ‘the future’. There are ‘futures.’ We are not doomed,” said Atwood. Before adding sotto voce: "But we could be."
Margaret Atwood in conversation with Lotte Folke, live at the Royal Library in Copenhagen and live-streamed to 45 Danish libraries. The conversation took place just after she received the 2024 HC Andersen literature prize and just before the US election.

in reply to Ciara • • •At the event, Lærke Winther read an excerpt from The Testaments. The scene took place in a library. ‘As all the best things do,’ remarked Atwood.
Her remark felt especially true given that the event was hosted by the Danish library system at the Royal Library Copenhagen and live-streamed to 45 libraries in villages and towns. So ordinary readers could just pop around the corner to attend a live conversation with one of the world’s most famous and insightful authors, free of charge.
