#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!
Sunday morning weather really doesn’t know what to do with itself - sunshine one moment, a little snow the next! Cold too 2ºC at the moment raising to a dizzying 5ºC later!
I’ve been threatened with a shopping trip later, I’m not overly enthused.
Hopefully squeeze some gaming in at some point.
Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Wise (and prophetic) words from my friend Wendell Griffen about how the coalition of Elon Musk’s fascist capitalism and white pseudo-Christian fascism are threatening to destroy American democracy:
"Historians will soon record that the 2016 and 2024 elections of Donald John Trump fueled an era of fascism in the United States that threatened the world for decades."

"Lust for greed, violence, domination, and self-worship does not make a society or its leaders great. It is a force that eventually consumes its host like metastasizing cancer or a raging virus."

"There are two ways things play out from here
One is with the overthrow of established elites, as happened in the French and Russian Revolutions.
The other is with the ruling elites backing a rebalancing of the social system"

We all want an open web, open knowledge, data, science and content (and AI). But when society makes power so unequal, so imbalanced economically, how can we continue like this?

Ja das klingt sinnvoll Umverteilung von Aufmerksamkeit und nicht wie ich angenommen hatte: Intelligenz. Bin halt in der Analogie arm-reich-geld bzw. deppat -gscheid-intelligenz gefangen gewesen. Tnx for having that pointed out.
If Elon Musk does channel $100m to Reform (likely via a UK subsidiary, investing/loaning the money to Reform UK, a private company), we will be part of an interesting political experiment.... what can be achieved by a massive outspending by one minority party?
We may not want to be experimented on but if nothing else it will confirm or modify views on the role of money in democracy.
Perhaps another Billionaire might join the experiment & fund the Greens as a comparison?
Jasper Nathaniel, writer of the Infinite Jaz newsletter on SubStack, joins to discuss his recent piece in The Drift magazine entitled “In Ruins: Archaeological Warfare in the West Bank.”
He dives right into the concept of “Judea and Samaria” that has been advanced recently by American zionists, and how that relates to a rapidly progressing agenda of Israeli annexation of the Palestinian West Bank.
Looking for a Christmas present for the Space Opera nerd in your life? The one who insists on you watching The Expanse and all of Star Trek with them although you really, truly don't care about SciFi?
How about giving them Herald Petrel for Christmas? It is 457 pages and so they will be occupied for a while.
It has a #mystery to be solved, quirky characters and is about #loss, #love, #humanity, #coping, and #hope in a hopeless situation.
Warning: It doesn't have a white guy as a captain who fixes everything. And there is A LOT that needs fixing.
You can get it in all your fav book stores: books2read.com/HeraldPetrel

I know it is just there for the moment but still it DOES feel good. Thank you to whoever bought it and supported an #IndieAuthor
The listing is debatable because #LGBTQ implies that the sexualities will play a role. They don't, really, since love is love. If anything, it is irrelevant to the story. It is just that the only vaguely straight character is #demisexual and his best friend is a proud #asexual and says so. Characters and human(oid) relationships play a role, not sexualities, but there is no category for that. 🤷:QueerCat_Pride:
EDIT: I also hate that it says LGBTQ+ and not LGBTIAQ+ but I guess you have to be thankful the category exists at all. 🤷

FACKLIG KAMP UTAN PAMP
"Ett vanligt missförstånd är att direkt demokratiska fackföreningar inte har några ledare. Syndikalistiska sektioner har både formella ledare (förtroendevalda kamrater) och informella ledare (gräsrötter med stort inflytande).
De förtroendevaldas uppgift är framförallt att leda genomförandet av medlemsbasens beslut. Gräsrötter kan bli informella ledare genom att vara drivande eller ha stor kunskap och erfarenhet…
Ledarna uppmuntrar fler medlemmar att likaså spela en ledande roll. Idealet är att alla medlemmar leder sektionen som ett gemensamt projekt även om medlemmarna ansvarar för olika delar av sektionens verksamhet.
En värdefull ledarfärdighet är att vara en duktig pedagog som förmedlar kunskaper. En brist på ett tydligt och positivt ledarskap innebär att sektionen har ovilliga, passiva eller anonyma ledare. Då stannar fackföreningen eller går bakåt…
I sämsta fall lämnas utrymme för auktoritära och destruktiva ledare att ta kontrollen. Positiva ledare är lyhörda organisatörer, inte politiska agitatorer eller chefsideologer. Det gäller både formella och informella ledare.
Den enskilda ledarens uppgift är inte att trumfa igenom sin personliga åsikt i alla frågor. Sektionens ledare ska främja diskussioner om gemensamma intressen mot arbetsgivarsidan, så att en gemensam linje kan omsättas i handling."
