Very sad story but let me take this opportunity to comment on part of the article quoted below. Stop using Twitter. After Musk bought it (and forced the silly name of X) moderation of Twitter is severely broken. It would be good if people move away from Twitter and use other platforms. Especially now that Musk is endorsing Donald Trump and sharing fake videos.

From the https://rogerhallam.com/5-years-in-prison story :

The judge began the next morning by bizarrely reading out my Twitter feed, which alerted my followers to the fact I wasn’t allowed to give my whole defence and called for support for a presence outside the court. But then he moved on to gleefully recounting some of the various trolls – why this was any part of a serious trial, no one could fathom. I was ordered to take them down by lunchtime or I’d be in contempt of court. This is a British judge in 2024.

A clear copy of an article from The Onion right ? Right ?

Glad to see at least some media in Europe highlighting this.

Saw your post earlier today and thought it was interesting. Let me just share these thoughts for the sake of sharing thoughts like in a brain storm session :

• Wanting a sustainable world, solidarity, and live in peace is normal.
• The more climate crisis denial grows within conservative circles, the more some behavior of opposing people can be called radical by the former conservatives instead of called what it really is : natural.
• The words left and right in politics were maybe useful many years ago but it has lost its true meaning. Perhaps better words are conservative versus progressive.

The Tax The Rich, EU campaign is supported by Millionaires for Humanity, who are more than just a handful of millionaires. I find it uplifting news that some of them are not so selfish : https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67935463 Hopefully some change is gonna come.

Oh well, that is demotivating to hear about German government. But the EU is hopefully different, and countries will have to listen to the EU and not the other way around.

This is the story by one of the millionaires who is supporting the Tax The Rich, EU campaign :

I could be wrong and that could be the most legit photo in the world. It just feels very unlikely to me.

Papers in my country reported that a sports photographer said about the photo : "Chance of 1 in a million. Almost impossible". Other articles mentioned the possibility of a small animal flying instead of a bullet.

Right. Not just that, USA is allowed to invade the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

Damn pretty and fun.

Majestic.

Cute of you to call the corporate state as a democracy

Thanks for the insightful reminder.
