A small group of Canadian politians try to rescue the last of Afghanistan's former woman MPs
For having been a female MP in the pre-Taliban regime, they are now in hiding from death threats.
After months of secret work, the multipartisan Canadian rescue mission is going public, but is not complete

I just love this woman's writing.

Are there actually places where you don't have to pretend to be a machine, though? I thought it was just hard everywhere. And getting harder.
Dinan is from Sudan.

Ethical Revolution
I've signed up here for the 26 steps (one every two weeks) to being an Ethical Rebel! Things many of us on here are already doing. I know my individual stands I take can't change the world by themselves, but we can be part of the community that is moving in a new direction, maybe...
ethicalrevolution.co.uk/
So, step 1 (they are alphabetical!) is Abandon Amazon
ethicalrevolution.co.uk/amazon…
Easy, I have already done this with the help of the behometh itself. A few years ago when I was trying to be a seller as well as a buyer I got mixed up with the multiple accounts, lost passwords, and Amazon's "change password" codes which were supposed to come by phone never did! A blessing in disguise! I decided to just leave it that way. However a family member who is a very ethical person is nevertheless constantly buying from Amazon including when they send me a gift..so the boxes still can show up on my doorstep. #ethicalconsumer

Gazan families of Canadians die because of lengthy bureaucracy designed to fail them

To my admittedly great surprise and pleasure, my neighbour Rana has been able to bring her sister, brother-in-law and one nephew to Canada, but she has many other family members in grave peril, maybe dead. She's desperately trying to raise funds with a GoFundMe and selling foods at the Farmers' Market.

And this, sadly, will probably get more views and reactions than little Fatima (9 years old) or little Mohammad (12) being killed just the other day.

A state targetting another state's civilians, there must be a name for that (yes, it's "war crimes").

It's all so sad, infuriating and fucked up.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an email service that is privacy oriented and uses green energy? I know there are several, mostly European based, What are your user experiences? #email
I would be willing to pay a small fee to support the independence of such a service but my needs are pretty simple.

Holy crap, did you even know this happened?
Last September, a 1,200-meter-high mountain peak collapsed in Greenland after the glacier supporting it from below melted. The resulting landslide triggered a 200-meter high tsunami that sent shockwaves reverberating across the planet for over a week (earthquakes only last minutes to hours by comparison). #tsunami #DicksonFjord

" It's time to stop and take stock of the fact that we're in the midst of the third delusional epoch of the tech industry. Yet, unlike cryptocurrency and the metaverse, everybody has joined the party and decided to burn money pursuing an unsustainable, unreliable, unprofitable, and environmentally-destructive boondoggle sold to customers and businesses as "artificial intelligence" that will "automate everything" without it ever having a path to do so.." #generativeai
