@ranja being able to adjust software volume when I am stuck under a cat is a killer feature on its own.

Israeli state queerphobia 

"Unlike most refuseniks in Israeli military jails, Roseman spends most hours of the day in solitary confinement. As a trans prisoner, she is only taken out for short, last-in-line breaks under army policy — the same treatment faced by another trans draft refuser, Ella Keidar Greenberg, earlier this year."

“It’s important for me to point out, especially after being treated in a humiliating way following my arrest at protests, that the state’s attitude toward queer people is liberal and progressive only under specific conditions,” she said. “The moment you don’t meet the national standard, your rights are stripped away.”

I kind of want to make a reference page / table where I attempt to catalogue every file-extension that is close enough to a standard .zip archive that at least one generi archive manager can open or extract it after renaming the file extension.

There really isn't one that even tries to be comprehensive and include even slightly obscure file formats. At least not all on ome page. Even then, I'd also want to specify any additional mandatory internal directory structures too, since there are similar (ab)uses of .zip which can be categorized together too.

"The so-called Moynihan Report, published in 1965, is described by Dr. Lethabo King as “the sociologist’s attempts to police and surveil unruly Black urban life through producing the ‘Black family’ as an object of knowledge and a problem for national security.” The Moynihan Report characterized the last century’s inner-city social unrest as a criminal pathology, blamed on paternal absenteeism (fathers not present in the home), a problem which was further traced to so-called “matriarchy.” Black communal headship, organized through the matriline, was represented within scholarship, media narratives, and discourse on the Black family as a negative counterpart to white family structure. This myth of matriarchy helped to fuel the carceral repression of subversive political movements of the long ’60s/’70s. As the aegis of a drug war was used to surveil and disrupt Black struggles of that time, narratives about a criminal pathology traced to “broken” family structure helped anchor the coherence of these measures. By the time we get to the ’80s and ’90s, with the growth in mass incarceration, criminalization of Black working-class communities extended far beyond those engaging in movement activity or even in crimes of survival."

joke 

@Yuvalne I still want Mark Zuckerberg or some AI hype dipshit to accidentally claim to "know" Netanyahu's wife or something, to his face.

Some Anglophone AI babblefish glasshole might still get decked for accidentally claiming to have had a sexual affair with the native speaker's wife, I'm not entirely ruling it out yet since we do know these things are not at all deterministic.
