You try and help. You try and make things a little better in whatever small way you can. You think, “hey, maybe at least there will be some respite now… maybe things can start to get better” and, just as your foolish little brain starts to believe it, the fuckers who fuck everything up for everyone but themselves – and somehow are never held to account for any of it – go and fuck things up even further. It’s fucking depressing. I mean I don’t know how we’re not all just fucking depressed every fucking minute of every fucking day.

這是「典範在夙昔」反映的另一種思考怠惰:明明威權已經結束很久,我們卻還在期待強人。從前人民無法當家做主,因此思考不是人民的事,是強人手下官僚的事。緬懷尹仲容、李國鼎,很大成分是在緬懷那個重要決策都天高皇帝遠的時代。

極力推薦<奧古斯都>by John Williams 。這本書信體歷史小說從羅馬帝國的第一個皇帝的青年時代開始,一直到年老時總結反省自己一生的功業。小說最有看點的地方,對我很來說有三點:一是人物有時用趨於形而上的思維反省權力、道德、愛等等主題;二是寫作語言的華麗;三是共和主義和民主制度在歷史上的內在張力。

Random video but I'm impressed how this video goes through all the problem solving procedure from the start to the end, including all failures, why such decision was made etc etc. youtu.be/d6Pcp944sRI

Also a reminder that while the Iranian regime is undeniably horrible, it is also the result of CIA and MI6 instigating (in 1953) a coup d'état against the government of Iran that had a democratic mandate, over oil:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ira

Here's the Wikipedia page about the prime minister of that government, Mohammad Mosaddegh:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad

The coup made shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi an authoritarian monarch with US backing. His oppressive regime ended with the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven’t lived in blood and bone. That doesn’t mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it’s not freedom you’re after.”

Most days I think that, in the long term, the people fighting for a better world will win.

But some days I wake up and wonder if that’s just misguided hope.

Ultimately, it doesn’t change what I do. Because I’ve been in “give up” before and I can’t live like that.

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: one time i was proud of my fellow gen z was when i heard we are bringing back going to the mall. i think that impulse has a lot of potential in adapting to these kinds of trends because you can go to the mall and talk to someone and be pretty sure theyre not a robot, and that will likely remain true for several years

Head's up, Mastodon users: There appears to be a coordinated effort to impersonate relatively high-profile people who have accounts on various instances but who have not used them in a while.

I've gotten several follow notifications - and a couple of DMs - from impersonators of people I know. The bogus accounts have lots of underscores in the handles, and they repost items from the past, sometimes years old. If you spot this, please report, do not engage, and then block.

Pls boost.

🏳️‍🌈 The Power of Pride Bundle 2026 is now open for submissions! 🏳️‍🌈

It's a mutual aid bundle directly supporting queer creators of all types of media. The bundle sale is intended to run from June 1 to July 6. The submission period is open until March 31.

🌈 itch.io/jam/power-of-pride-bun

A large majority of the team comprises those who previously worked on The Queer Halloween Stories Bundle. I'm also helping them. I somehow drew the banner art.

The Power of Pride Bundle 2026

In the illustration, a cute black cat is happily sleeping in a pile of bundle-related items: gamepad, pencil, piece of paper, musical note, book, dice and a power fist. There are rainbow flag colors at the background.

tells not to use their song: “We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go fuck yourselves.”

かつては、日本と韓国の試合を国家間の自尊心の問題と考える韓国人が多くいました。しかし、時は流れ、時代は変わります。最近では、過去の世代のように日本に敵対的な人は多くありません。
もちろん、あの…スポーツ選手たちは私たちとは違い、全体主義的な考えを持っているため、国家や民族といったものに対してより敏感なようです。
예전에는 일본과 한국의 경기를 국가간의 자존심 문제로 생각하는 한국인이 많았습니다. 하지만 시간은 계속 흐르고 시대는 변하니까요. 요즘은 과거 세대와 같이 일본에 적대적인 사람은 많지 않습니다.
물론 그.... 운동을 하는 사람들은 우리와는 다르게 전체주의적인 생각을 가지고 있다보니 국가나 민족 이런 것에 좀 더 민감한 것 같습니다.
