Apparently you can't update a Gofundme from Ecuador. It's actually stage 2 duodenal cancer FWIW. Neoadjuvant chemo starting soonish, surgery who knows. I hope to finish The Magic Mountain and maybe assemble a Halifax or a Lancaster ere clogs be popped.
@jk_rowling@suzanne_moore They do say that this plan is better than... [mystical music] the Great Plan of Galveston. [motions vaguely towards the East]
Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee.
She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone.
Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the “far-right” were whipping up ‘anti-migrant hate’.
People like @HumzaYousaf & many more called it ‘bullsh*t’.
Many, including people like @jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her ‘hatred’, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the ‘liar’ they were talking about, was.
A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she’d use the money to buy “machetes and IronBru”
She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.
She wasn’t ‘hate-filled’, she was scared.
Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too.
The man and his sister were prosecuted.
How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection.
How shameful that adults will deny their reality.
How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes.
Shame on you all.
I’ll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar.
I won’t hold my breath…
I hope this girl is ok.

If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.
it seems like a lot of what ai is doing is showing that things that were already empty, ritual performances (university essays, thinkpieces, news articles) are in fact empty, ritual performances
The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it.
Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK.
The whole world sees it.
So while the public regularly get threatened with energy and water restrictions and lectured on how to behave to ‘save the planet’, governments are ramming though gigantic AI data centres that hoover up massive amounts of energy and water.
No one voted for this. Yet more government facilitated tech corporation greed at our expense. Absolutely shameful. Net zero restrictions and taxes for us. Massive AI data centres for them.
I have refrained from talking about Henry Nowak so far because I was too angry. I remain too angry.
I'm angry at the scumbag who stabbed an 18-year-old boy to death. Who drove a blade into the back of his legs to stop him from running, then finished him by skewering him through the chest with an 8-inch blade. All while that poor boy tried desperately to escape.
I'm angry that the same scumbag then cried "racism" to cover his tracks, claiming self-defence after pursuing and butchering an innocent boy who just wanted to get home.
I'm angry at the parents who tried to hide the murder weapon and shield their killer son from justice, putting blood loyalty above any sense of right and wrong.
I'm angry at the police who handcuffed a bleeding teenager while he cried "I'm dying" and "I can't breathe," and let him bleed out in the street. All because his attacker cried racism.
I'm angry at the judge who has introduced manslaughter as an alternative verdict before the jury even had a chance to decide. Robbing Henry's family of the proper verdict on what was clearly cold-blooded murder.
I'm angry at a nation that grants religious exemptions so minorities can carry deadly blades in public while locking up natives for far less. A nation that has opened the floodgates to migrants who want us dead and now watches its own young bleed out in the name of "diversity."
I'm angry that we've allowed it to happen.
I'm angry.
