"A Genocidal Special Relationship" by Carlota McAllister

"Israel used Guatemala’s genocide not only as a platform for asserting itself as a minor imperial power and a profit center for its military and associated industries but also as a proving ground for anti-Indigenous counterinsurgency. In return, Guatemala has numbered among Israel’s most loyal international allies. Not only did Guatemala move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2017, but it also voted alongside a tiny number of nations to protect Israel from condemnation in the early stages of the latest bombardment of Gaza."

In Waning Senate Days, Kyrsten Sinema Screwed Workers and Spent Campaign Cash on Stay at French Castle

The Arizona senator's prodigious campaign spending in global wine hotspots can’t possibly be related to the campaign she’s not running, says an ethics complaint.

I found myself nodding along furiously while reading Ed Zitron's "Never Forgive Them". An instant classic of critical technology appreciation:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

The only criticism I have is that he's merely highlighting one small part of the enshittified technology experience: That of the adult USian consumer.

That's a valid perspective of course, but there are SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, for whom tech is infinitely worse still. (Type "facebook rohingya" into your search engine of choice.)

For anyone not aware, AfD is Germany’s far-right party, and is riddled with actual nazis.

You know, in case this were to be in the news for some reason today.

I have music on most of the time, but I don't _listen_ to music. (It's overwhelmingly instrumental, for one thing.) So I'm #listening to _Department Store Christmas_ on #SomaFM, and one of the songs started with what I would swear was the theme from the 1954 TV version of _Sherlock Holmes_ with Ronald Howard and Howard Marion-Crawford. It changed after a few seconds, but it was most odd. #ChristmasMusic

If I had like four hundred dollars for every time someone with immigrant parents asked about getting their citizenship with their parent’s country instead of just relying on US citizenship since trump was elected, I could probably buy one of those golden passports

The general vibe would be that this country is Fucking Cooked. That day without an immigrant is not gonna be pretty.

It’s not overstating that due to #ClimateChange there will be a mass migration the likes humanity has never seen before, and whichever country harnesses this phenomenon will be the world leader for the next few centuries.

Spain is committing to normalizing 300,000 immigrants annually. The US is doing the opposite. We’ll see the dividends this will pay for Spain for decades while oligarchs continue to pillage the US people and scapegoat immigrants.

While in a long line of cars trying to exit a train station parking deck in December 2015, I heard a news story about the Starbucks cups not being Christmassy enough. I had this song written in my head before I reached the exit and recorded this demo the next day. https://youtu.be/pnCw3GKAB6k

Third Time Is The Charm

Happy Hour News Per the AP, With hours to go before a midnight government shutdown, the House approved a new plan from House Speaker Mike Johnson that would temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, but dropped President-elect Donald Trump’s demands for a debt limit increase into the new year. So, the 4th Reich did not get what they wanted, and neither did we, but we also kept the government open.

I have a feeling that there will be many people using programming to hack into computers toeople straight up steal rich people's cash because they feel justified to do so. Here's my opinion. Actions have consequences, no matter how justified you feel. Do not do this.

This owl is sad and confused with USPS. I posted a package to my cousin on Mon, she posted one back on Wed.

The one I sent is missing, seems never left my post office, hers already arrived.

And one arrived in L.A. yday, got text to expect today, tracking says it's still in L.A.🦉💧

@Jason844 Oh, no, I hope your deliveries are ok! 🥲

For the most part my packages have arrived just fine whatever the carrier. It figures the one package I send goes AWOL. 🥲

*I've only got one non-local relative I like enough for me to actually make up a package and go to the post office. 😅

I made this pattern from a random mosaic generator, then edited more out of the motif. After finding out how to do increases, it turned out very pretty, as you can see.

It's also available on Ravelry!
