nlpol, media
Niet dat ik hoge verwachtingen had van de journalistiek in Nederland, maar toch.
nlpol, palestina
Ik ben hier echt wel behoorlijk klaar mee intussen. "De Joodse gemeenschap" dit, "de Joodse gemeenschap" dat, en intussen worden de Joodse gemeenschappen die zich wel uitspreken tegen de genocide in Palestina straal genegeerd en weggestreept uit het publieke debat, en heeft men het alleen maar over de meningen van pro-Israel partijen.
nlpol
En daar gaan we weer, de media lijkt weer eens te doen alsof "kritiek op Israel" automatisch gelijk staat aan "jodenhaat" zonder dat daar enige aanwijzing voor is. Zo werkt dat niet.

Y’all the party leading our government was founded on hatred against muslims. Consider this before you believe media reports based solely on information from authorities claiming
* the violence against Israeli football fans came almost exclusively from muslims
* the Israeli football fans themselves behaved exemplary and didn’t start any of the fights
Not saying what happened is right in any way, just beware the system is PVV now and you shouldn’t trust it as much as perhaps you used to.

But then I read @can (who I’ve never met, but on Mastodon seems like a super person) met a friend of mine Arian who is a train manager on the Berlin-Stockholm night train, on board the train, and that makes me happy. I know so many super people - just pretty much none of them are close to any levers of political power.

@AnarchoNinaWrites you're spot on.
You may already know it, but back in the 40s the US Army circulated a Simple Sabotage Field Manual which is quite an interesting historical artifact with absolutely no possible relevance or application to modern times.
Just wanted to mention it for historical purposes.

as someone who lives in a country that was once a part of the ussr, the californians voting against the imprisoned being enslaved really disappoints me. besides the obvious reasons, if imprisoned can be forced to labor for any crime, that will inevitably include crimes of resisting against the trump regime or expressing dissent. that's literally fucking gulag! that's what they did in the fucking soviet union to our activists!

I hate how many games' achievements are just "what if you played the game, but in a less fun way"

You hate cookies because tracking privacy annoying.
I hate cookies because I forgot path=/ in one place and now hundreds of browsers are sending me two values for the same cookie and i have no clue how to retroactively fix that other than renaming the cookie.
We are not the same. Or maybe we are. I can't bloody tell.

Great news everyone! You can't use a VPN to access openvpn.net
about moving from the US, what to expect (this is going to be harsh and potentially confronting, but realistic)
I'm not going to tell you not to move out of the US, and I will certainly provide assistance to do so where I can if asked.
However, you have to realize: things are not rosy in Europe. Fascism does not respect borders, and we are dealing over here with the exact same fascism that you're dealing with over there, it's just at a different stage and of a slightly different flavour. In many cases it's the literal same group of people, working across borders.
Which is to say: you *will not* escape fascism and live happily ever after by moving to Europe. It doesn't matter which country. You won't. You're going to have to fight fascism, one way or another, it's not optional. If not today, then in a few years.
If you need to move to get some breathing room for a while and prepare for that fight, that is okay! But you're still going to have to engage in that fight eventually, and I'm not just talking about violent encounters here - it takes all stripes.
So... if you're planning to move to Europe, you need to be making a plan on how you're going to fight fascism once you've moved, ideally one that includes fighting it in the US too.
And there are going to be people to support you here, but there are going to be people to support you in the US too. Think carefully about your options and what you can do locally before deciding to move, and whether you cannot do more in an environment you already know.

Advice for Americans considering immigration
If you have not seriously looked into this before, be prepared to discover that this process is bureaucratic, slow, infuriatingly difficult, often requires a job offer in advance, often requires formal education. It favours people with means and is nearly impossible if you are ill or disabled, even if you have family.
In all likelihood, it will be easier to move to another US state than to leave the country.

On my way home I saw one of the most Glasgow things possible
More handwritten text not shown in these 4 pictures:
• The left side says “Place your unwanted potentially useful bitsa shite here”
• The top flap says “If properly cared for this box should last 36 months in any weather”

wording help
Seeking a replacement phrase for "bless this person/thing", expressing I like what they are doing, I support them, I wish them the best, etc. without invoking religion.
Ideally equally short.
