@aral Being lethal seen as a virtue only happens in violent societies. But that we knew already.

@interfluidity Macron is in a tight spot. i think he is trying to get leverage, probably on Putin to help NATO, and intel about Wagner in Africa that would help him keep France's colonies.

@HeavenlyPossum Totally agree. The special status afforded to cars is baffling if you think about it for a minute. Your own little fiefdom on wheels, with 50% of the space in every city free for you to occupy at any time.

@bureaux @timnitGebru @festal When you see a collage, the sources are there to be seen, a non open source AI won't show you the sources, training data, but will sell you the result, while using a shitload of energy, dumping externalities in the environment.

@yogthos There is an irrational fear of nuclear, based on possible, improbable catastrophes, when fossil fuels are causing right now millions of deaths + climate catastrophe...

@Nonilex People in Mexico are thinking that too. Hopefully he will threaten to invade one day, and scale it back to a Tijuana escapade the next?Who knows? It's a definite threat.

@futurebird It would take a massive number of authorities and individuals to either be complicit/incompetent at reporting in censi, adding them up Highly unlikely Theres an equation to calculate the likelihood of a conspiracy being revealed:"The equation calculates the probability of a conspiracy-busting leak as 1-e-tφ, where φ includes the (potentially changing) number of conspirators over time and the odds that one of those people leaks information in a given year.https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/an-equation-that-debunks-conspiracy-theories/

@stux Yes. He is precipitating the quiet slide downwards of the US to, if not irrelevance, at least very significant loss of influence.I fear their economy will degrade very fast, which is bad news for us in Mexico as we are uniquely tied (with Canada) to the now ailing giant, and worse, that it will lash out on its neighbours.For the rest of the global South, rather positive.The dependence from aid is an issue, but the aid was so tied to control and exploitation that it'll be good in the end

@yogthos We are lucky China is making the products we consume, in a more sustainable way.It would be far dirtier if it was the West still manufacturing them.

@stux Yes. Billionaires could be taxed out of existence if we tried hard enough,and society would benefit, it was done pre-Reagan-Tatcher to some success, but is reversible.Fundamentally r>g . Rentiers will gain more than workers and money will accumulate at the top: increasing returns and all that.Until and unless we democratize ownership of the means of production as we democratize political power, billionaires will return like the cockroaches they are.

Norm a Nuclear physicist, but are isotopes from certain regions more active than others? Asking because everyone loses their shit over nuclear facilities being targeted by Russia in Ukraine and the threat to billions upon billions of lives in Europe, but Israel targeting Iranian nuclear facilities seems fairly innocuous.

@Nonilex Just here to remind everyone that in June the Danish parliament votes to let US install military bases in Denmark, and have full jurisdiction within them. Losing sovereignty is voluntary.They seem to like daddy Trump.

@aral A little disappointed of Sweden's response. Also to remind Sweden ended 200 years of neutrality, without any popular input in the decision, and joined NATO. The reaction is alignement.

Preluding comments on Venezuela with caveats about Maduro is like talking about the skirts lenght of a woman that has just been raped.
