People who like growing things tend to be the least "zero sum" people I've ever met. I meet activists who act like sharing their time will inevitably lead to their death, but gardeners are always sharing.
We give each other seed, baby plants, cuttings, vegetables, greens, eggs - sometimes even before we know each other. If I say to someone "I wish I could grow tomatoes better" they'll jump in and offer last generation's regionally adapted seed without hesitation.
Because perhaps there's something to the experience of planting a bean and watching it turn into hundreds of beans, all from one bean. Or a single squash seed and seeing it produce dozens of squash and thousands of seeds. Or watching an enormous tree grow from a tiny seed and then a little sprout, and bring owls back where there weren't any before. And realizing that sharing only spreads the abundance, and never takes it away. If my tomatoes grow better, and hers fail, she knows I'll probably offer her that even better performing seed right back, and some extra tomatoes.
One of our friends on the border said he realized capitalism is bullshit the first time he grew tepary beans and watched a single bean turn into pounds of food and plenty of seed to save for next time. Why would anyone control your access to food when it's just that simple?
And the homesteading folks seem to like to make it seem really difficult, but they'll plant 10 acres to grain instead of oak trees and lament having to rent a harvester combine instead of having food literally fall out of the trees (and have a forest of other food and habitat for game, to boot), which is a failure of planning rather than the reality of what growing food is actually like.

I wake up, and it’s dark. I go to my 6AM strength training class, and it’s dark. I go home, eat a light breakfast, take a shower, and it’s dark. I miss my early morning runs! 😭
I just run i the dark

"Le vœu RN demande que les sans papiers ne bénéficient pas des tarifs sociaux. Vœu bien xénophobe évidemment. Extrait de mon intervention : “de Minneapolis à Paris, il y aura toujours sur votre chemin des Résistantes et résistants, qui combattront vos politiques xénophobes et racistes. On a mieux à faire que de transformer les agents du transport public en police de l’immigration, en mini ICE francilienne”.

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

(Meanwhile in the USA passenger rail runs on freight tracks and has to give way to freight trains.)

Over geopolitiek, kampisme en een doel dat middelen niet heiligt
Nu ook op eigen website...
Geopolitiek is hip. Geopolitiek is in. Met geopolitieke inzichten maak je het helemaal – in gevestigde denktanks, maar ook in kringen die zich links noemen en dat vaak nog zijn ook. En ja, zonder inzicht in wat tegenwoordig geopolitiek genoemd wordt – en ik las ook al over geo-economie (1) – zijn grote politieke en maatschappelijke gebeurtenissen niet goed te begrijpen. Geopolitiek is een dimensie van analyse, en kan dat maar beter ook van radicale analyse zijn, van analyses die beogen licht te werpen op de gang van zaken om die grondig in egalitaire en vrijheidslievende richting te veranderen. Een dimensie dus, die geopolitiek. Liever echter geen dogma, geen keurslijf en geen fuik waardoor andere dimensies buiten de analytische netten vallen. Dat laatste gebeurt echter maar al te vaak wel. Vandaar mede dit verhaal.
Het hele stuk:

Oggi si ascoltano gli Hoodoo Gurus, band garage rock e power pop australiana, che alla notizia che una delle loro canzoni era stata usata da membri del partito neofascista asutraliano One Nation hanno reagito così:
«We were disgusted to hear that one of our songs was played by a bunch of wannabe fascists yesterday (One Nation). Like most Australians, we have always been appalled by Pauline Hanson and the toxic nonsense she spouts. This is our message to her and her followers: don’t play our music, don’t listen to our band, do not pass go! We want nothing to do with you. In fact, we wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire».
«we wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire»

for translation, it's the same... It takes humans more time to clean up machine translations than it would take those humans to produce a clean translation from scratch... Unfortunately, in the case of translations, AI slop quality is deemed "good enough" by most companies. Hence thousands upon thousands of translators are out of work and we're all stuck with piss poor translations.
Yay.
@MxAlba @kimcrawley writing about this today!

And of course we launched our flagship instance, https://3dprint.social
It was a busy year!

On parle beaucoup de souveraineté / autonomie stratégique (terme que je préfère), mais on imagine mal ce qu'elle implique. Heureusement, on a l'exemple du juge de la CPI Nicolas Guillou, qui livre un témoignage édifiant. À voir absolument pour comprendre ce que ça fait quand un ex allié décide de vous pourrir la vie. https://vimeo.com/1158584868

@nitot Enfin une prise de conscience...? Il paraît qu'il n'est jamais trop tard pour bien faire ;-)
