The world has witnessed the government of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Month after month, the government of Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its specific intent to physically destroy them. Israel's government and state officials responsible for the crime of genocide must be held accountable. We are calling on all States to use every legal avenue to bring suspected perpetrators to justice. No one should be allowed to commit genocide and remain unpunished. https://t.co/lyfB55V7Y5

Saw an interesting post the other day referencing AI token prices that said something along the lines of when China sells something it tends to stay at that cheap price or go down, and make those things more available and affordable to everyone (EVs, cellphones, solar panels, AI, etc) and in the West when something is cheap it's just until they destroy competition and existing alternatives, then they jack up the prices as high as then can. Nothing stays affordable. It's always just to capture market share.

Been thinking a lot about that.

Ok, let's look at what we can figure out about the Hyundai Far UVC emitter and car placement based on what they've provided so far.

https://t.co/4gyAkOmbky

As background, it's important to understand that there is almost no innovation in Far-UVC. This is because it's become largely an investment vehicle, and the key innovations that are required to move the technology forward- lower cost, higher efficiency, replaceable emitters-would interfere with shareholder profits.

There are only a small number of manufacturers; the least ethical brands are the ones most passionately advocated for because of profiteering and rampant, unaddressed conflicts of interest with researchers. This is discussed here:

Hyundai, apparently just decided to go ahead, ignore all this, have some self-respect as engineers, make something actually really good, incorporating a lot of new ideas that have not been implemented yet, and, as far as I can tell so far, not trying to patent them? So biiiiig hug for our Korean comrades on this one🤗

Teen daughter had sex education today where all pupils put a condom on a dildo.
One of the girls asked: ‘Why do girls need to learn this?’ And the teacher said: ‘Well, in case the man doesn’t know how to do it.’
Apparently my daughter then said: ‘Why the hell would we be with a man who doesn’t know how to put a condom on?’
I could not be more proud. 😂😂😂

It's the opposite. During the mid- to late-19th century, suits were the uniform of clerks and administrators. Those higher on the social and economic ladder — such as lawyers, doctors, and politicians — wore the more "gentlemanly" frock coat with a silk top hat. In fact, Labour Party founder Keir Hardie caused quite a stir when he showed up to work on his first day as a Member of Parliament while wearing a tweed suit to show his allegiance to his working-class constituents. The press was shocked, noting that he wore a "cloth cap in Parliament" (a tweed deerstalking cap, rather than the silk top hat).

With time, everyone wore the suit. By the early 20th century, those who owned the means of production wore the same uniform as those who managed them. Blurring this distinction can seem meaningless today, but it was quite a big deal in the early 20th century. Even manual laborers who wore more utilitarian clothing to work — chambray shirts, blue jeans, chore coats, etc — had a suit for religious services on Sunday. Thus, the suit was not a symbol of domination, but rather hid class markers.

To be sure, there were distinctions in how people wore suits and where they bought them. In London, businessmen could be distinguished by whether they bought their clothes from a "City tailor" or a "West End tailor" (the West End being the higher-grade option reserved for those with money). But these were relatively minor and only for the trained eye. Relatively speaking, class symbols today are significantly more obvious not only through the different grades of quality, but also logos and general aesthetics. Hence, to some degree, why fashion changes so rapidly today — people are constantly shifting their social position.

Every single time I see a 19-24 year old girl moving in with her boyfriend to ‘escape’ a toxic home, I sob for her.
Like actually cry.
Because 9 times out of 10… she just traded one nightmare for a worse one.
The boyfriend who “rescues” her usually becomes the new cage. Different face, same (or heavier) control.
Please protect these young girls. The grass isn’t greener — it’s just a different patch of dirt. 💔
