Braver than the troops
Days after the NFL fined him for wearing Hind Rajab’s name, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returned to the field with another Palestinian child on his eye black: 8-year-old Wafaa Akila.
Wafaa was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza on September 6 — her first day of school.

This is a really important story.
You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI. The children of Shajarah Tayyebah Elementary paid the price

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Tech can already do in seconds work that once took people hours.
It should mean shorter working weeks, early retirement and more time to live life.
If instead it means unemployment, poverty and eight billionaires owning everything:
The problem isn't the technology.
It's who fucking owns it.

They might argue that they didn't see it coming.
How were they to know that their war over 20% of the worlds oil and fertiliser would take place in a year with a massive drought and El Nino?
That's kinda the point though, isn't it?
