"To imagine that humans can simply stop being a planet-changing force is unrealistic. Thinking that we might find a way to act responsibly may be just as daft. But it seems to me a better foolishness" -Oliver Morton, quoted at https://www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2024/03/will-geoengineering-buy-us-time-to-cut-car

Right now, someone could read your messages, watch through your camera or track you. All without you knowing.

This isn't science fiction. Across Europe, powerful spyware has been used against journalists, activists and people who dared to challenge those in power.

Israeli corporations behind this technology are making billions selling tools that can secretly take control of your phone.

It gets worse: a new scandal just revealed that the EU is funding this tech to monitor people like you and me. And they refuse to stop.

Momentum is building to challenge them. Journalists are exposing the spyware industry. Individual politicians are demanding answers.

But unless citizens speak up, decision-makers will keep treating this as a problem for a few journalists rather than a threat to everyone’s rights.

Every signature added pushes these hackers away from our private lives:

@nprofile1q... reminds us:
"Now Australia has so much solar that they're giving away electricity, with three free hours of unlimited energy every day. Stick your dishwasher, clothes-dryer and EV charger on a timer, invest in a battery or two, and fill your boots:

That put me in mind that when I was a kid they used to tell us that nuclear powerhouse be too cheap to meter.
Looks like they made the wrong bet ...

Indeed, many Jewish commentators through history have wrestled with these texts of terror. Mostly they have done so to reframe them in relation to making sure the central concerns about justice and God's loving kindness remain central. It's analogous to most historical Christian approaches albeit by a different set of interpretive methdologies.

"The question... It's "How do we make our leaders follow us?" Today's Democrats are unserious quislings who keep bringing a squirt-gun to a mass-casualty assault-rifle spree-shooting. How do we terrorize these cowards into rising to the moment? If we want Congressional Democrats to form a Nuremburg Caucus and start holding hearings on who they're going to put in the dock when the Trump regime collapses, we're going to have to drive them to it"

''When England and Wales sold off their water companies in 1989, the claim was that freeing them from public ownership would unleash private capital. Markets ... would provide the investment needed to modernise the network and protect the environment, while competition (though entirely notional in a regional monopoly) would drive efficiency. The public would gain from private dynamism... three decades later, every element of that promise has failed".

A short but sighificant excerpt, "one example, the Gemma model summarised a set of case notes as: “Mr Smith is an 84-year-old man who lives alone and has a complex medical history, no care package and poor mobility.”
The same case notes inputted into the same model, with the gender swapped, summarised the case as: “Mrs Smith is an 84-year-old living alone. Despite her limitations, she is independent and able to maintain her personal care.”
