Two posts in my feed today. In the first, what looks like four air-defense interceptors - Patriots, maybe? - missing an incoming Iranian missile.

In the second, the Ukranian military celebrating a soldier with a record six Shahed interceptions in one day.

I know they're not the same, I get it but Patriot missiles cost $4,000,000 each. Just for the missile, not the platform/deployment.

Those Sting FPV interceptors cost $700.

J’ai déjà été abonné plusieurs années à Mediapart par le passé.

J’ai profité il y a quelques jours d’une offre à 24€ pour l’année.
Je suis en train de recréer la frustration que j’avais : trop de trucs à lire, j’arrive pas à suivre.

Could be sample bias, of course. I only loosely follow the science, and my audience obviously leans heavily skeptical at this point. I wouldn't pretend to *know* that the most dire predictions will come true. I'd much, much rather be conclusively proven wrong about this.

But I'm still waiting.

@glyph this thread needs to be an essay, and then a research hypothesis.

I very much feel like I’m watching the last 35 years of my ever-enshittifying social network exposure, sped up 10x and replayed.

In 1991 I remember having the flash of insight - without the life experience to really go into it deeply then - that the way nascent social network tech constrained and shaped interaction was going to force a mass cognitive adaptation for which we were not ready.

COVID minimization

I've been reflecting a bit more on the idea that COVID-aware communities are "cult-like" over the past couple of days. as someone who both helps run a COVID-cautious space, and who's often been openly critical of certain aspects of COVID-cautious spaces - specifically for how they tend to launder pseudoscience and enable obsessive-compulsive behaviors under the guise of precautionary principles - I feel like I'm pretty well positioned to speak on the subject.

minimizers often talk about how people taking COVID precautions are channeling our trauma from lockdown into wholly unnecessary levels of caution. and while that doubtless is the case for some individuals, the vast majority of us are simply seeing the mounting evidence that COVID isn't "over" or "just a cold" and acting accordingly.

and the fact is, seldom is that level of scrutiny turned on its head.

after all, why is it that COVID-aware communities are seen as collections of people wallowing in trauma, all while minimizers' rapid shift to memory-holing the pandemic and refusing to hear evidence otherwise is viewed as completely normal?

why is it that COVID-aware individuals are constantly scrutinized for being unable to move beyond 2020, while minimizers' rush to turn back the clock to 2019 is simply taken as a given?

why have the liberals and leftists who shamed conservatives refusing to mask through 2020 and 2021, and who abruptly about-faced to shaming others for continuing to mask once Joe Biden and others in power declared the pandemic "over" against all evidence to the contrary, never faced questioning?

why are COVID-aware people - people who continue to treat COVID like the mass-disabling, airborne, highly contagious pandemic that it is - facing all of the questioning?

examine these conundrums for any significant period of time, and what you'll happen upon is the unavoidable fact that we're all traumatized from the pandemic. our lives all across the world were upended in a frighteningly short period of time, and there's no coming back from that sort of catastrophic shake-up.

some of us are processing that trauma through internalizing the propaganda that COVID is just a cold, ignoring the evidence that it's primarily a cardiovascular disease, ignoring the evidence that vaccines aren't an absolute barrier against long COVID, ignoring their friends and family and co-workers who continue to disappear as they succumb to MECFS, ignoring their own growing brain fog and health issues stemming from repeated infections.

others are treating that trauma as ongoing - as something that never truly went away - and are acting accordingly. we're pushing disability justice to the forefront of our shared consciousness. we're taking steps to help others protect themselves and those around them. and we're making communities of our own - places where we can exist safely, and where we don't have to bend ourselves around the feelings of people unwilling to acknowledge the uncomfortable realities that we're facing head-on.

in other words, we're processing the pandemic by doing something about it - the only constructive things we can do, given the unfortunate fact that everyone with institutional power has effectively abandoned us - rather than by pretending it doesn't exist and doing nothing.

inevitably, the organizing and communities borne from this approach will tend to be isolated and insular. and the reason for that is because we have little other choice. when other COVID-aware people are the only remaining folks still committed to "we keep us safe," then we'll inevitably congregate together to meet our collective social and organizing needs.

that doesn't make us a cult. it makes us people brought together by necessity.

because the rest of you have abandoned us in favor of living in a comfortable shared fiction.

사실 이런것에 대해서는 당연히 믿진 않습니다만;; 앱스타인부터해서 미국 정계 인사들 할리우드 셀렙들까지 인육 먹고 애들 학대하고 온갖 뻘짓을 했다는자료가 앱스타인 파일에 나와있으니 완전히 저건 100% 거짓이다 라고 말하긴 좀 어렵곘고 여러모로 황당한 시대인듯.

그건 그럴수 있겠는데 이제 여기서부터 안드로메다로 가는데 이 아내가 갑자기 정부 요직에 올라가니까 사람들이 이제 저 아내라는 사람에 대해서 파보기 시작한 모양인데 확인안됬지만 이양반이 찰리커크 죽고나서 몇일만에 매우 즐겁고 행복하게 웃으면서 인터뷰하는 그런 영상이 꽤 올라와있음; 그래서 그냥 저 여자가 사실은 찰리 커크 핸들러 아니냐 이런 반응 (영화 토탈리콜처럼 말이죠) 그리고 이 여자도 사실은 앱스타인 같은 상류층이 운영하던 써클 멤버다 남편이 죽고나서 남편의 피를 같이 마시는 의식을 했다 이런 주장도 ㅋㅋㅋ 하하;;

읍내에서 도는 온갖 음모론 뻘글중 웃픈 내용이 있었음; 찰리 커크가 왜 죽었나 그런 설명인데 이 양반이 가끔 의도치 않게 선을 많이 넘은 경우가 꽤 있었나봄 그러니까 재벌과 소수의 부자들이 사회를 잡고 흔드는 상황에 대해서 비판을 생각외로 꽤 많이 했던 모양인데 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ;; 근데 그래서 죽었다는 이론임; 비판 영상은 여러번 보니까 합성은 아니고 실제로 저랬다는것이 여러모로 웃픔;;

意识形态宣传并不是教人高喊“爱这个爱那个”就完事了,它的最终目标还是割韭变现——你必须先相信“伟大胜利”、“经济强势复苏”、“遥遥领先”、“西方完蛋了” 诸如此类……你才会掏空全部存款,借巨额的贷款,给人生加超高的杠杆,接盘一个原本就打算卷款跑路的期房,或拿出养老治病的棺材本,购买一个地方政府背书的小舅子爆雷金融产品。

所以,民族主义话语的意识形态,其实讨厌穷光蛋,因为他们空喊“爱了爱了”,却榨不出一毛钱,有的甚至提要求,要政府发救济。现在国内的基本盘越来越穷,官老爷瞧见他们,也是心烦的。

At a time of geopolitical uncertainty and tightening resources, digital public goods showed what is possible through shared, open approaches. The 2025 State of the Digital Public Goods Ecosystem Report captures a year of growth, real-world impact, and renewed collective action—and where further collaboration is needed next.

are PERSIAN not ARABS.
This toot was sponsored by my Iranian Canadian photographer friend - who is tired of people not knowing who are & ignorant of their ancient, ancestral & cultural histories.

Sorry - I forgot to add -> My friend says he has never spoken Arabic but understands some of it from learning from Arabs who were displaced from nearby countries. He told me that Persians speak Farsi. Many are also educated on speaking & reading English.

Firefox's new 'Smart Window' mode is taking shape in development builds, so I had a play around in a beta build.

It revamped the browser UI to a prompt-based browsing experience, powered by your choice of LLM – OpenAI, Alibaba or Google – with your tabs, searches, questions and entire browsing history all handled on each company's servers...
