"I’m reminded of the final scene in the Academy Award–winning 1961 film Judgment at Nuremberg. ... [T]he film makes a vital point about the corrosive, long-term effect of any judicial willingness to suspend the rule of law."

USA-EU-Deal: Warum die versprochenen Energie-Importe Fragen aufwerfen

Die EU muss viel erklären, seit sie zugestimmt hat, in den USA für sehr viel Geld Energie zu kaufen. Denn es ist völlig unklar, ob es tatsächlich zu dem 750-Milliarden-Deal kommt. Von Christian Feld.

If I were a betting man, I'd say they most likely DID get such a request, and it being #Google, I would not be surprised if they did it.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared that the UK will formally recognize Palestine as a state by the UN General Assembly in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire before then. #FreePalestine
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxc7l…


Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Pandemic denialism (and let's not pretend it's "minimizing" lol) seems to exist at a much deeper level than any kind of bias I've ever seen.

People who pride themselves on breaking bias and doing research to make decisions just...aren't interested in SARS-CoV-2 research. Literally any other subject and they're hardcore. But the pandemic? "Wheeeeeeee! These waffles are GUD."

There's something about "I'm disabling myself and can't stop" that just buries shit too deep to reach.




Europa kapituliert vor Trump - und Ursula von der Leyen verrät ihre eigene Wirtschaftsstrategie: Der European Green Deal sollte uns unabhängig machen von teuer importierter fossiler Energie.

Nun will die EU 750 Mrd. Dollar in drei Jahren für US-(Fracking-)Gas, Öl, Kohle und Uran verschwenden.

750 Mrd. für fossiles Gas, Öl und Kohle aus den USA sind eine absolut irre Summe.

#WritersCoffeeClub 7/29. How happy or bittersweet are your endings?

My endings are happy.

I need that. I do not to sad, dark or bittersweet. And I write what I enjoy to read.

To me, the real world is dark enough (and getting darker by the day). I believe we need the sense that things can end well, if we work for it.

And that's what you get in my books.

🇺🇸 Trump: I am giving Putin 10 days from today. Then we are going to put on tariffs.

▪️I have not got any response from Putin. It is a shame.

▪️I don't worry about the oil prices.




Sometimes my Wacom tablet behaves strangely. Pen clicks can activate windows and bring them to the foreground, but do not cause a "click" to be delivered to buttons and text areas.

Forcefully unloading and reloading the Wacom driver sometimes helps.

But on days like today, "init 3" followed by "init 5" is necessary to make things work again.

Is this a Ubuntu problem? Do Wacom tablets work well with other Linux distros? Unfortunately, Wacom tablets are expensive enough that not many people have them.

Why is this using asyc/await?

On the face of it it is poster child for the cultural failure async/await is for the Rust community

I had a look at this, and I could see no reasons presented.
