#Celtic#FolkloreSunday: „#Irish mythology is liberally sprinkled with tales of the deeds of female #druids: Biróg is a #druidess who, in one version of the myth, was involved in saving the baby #Lugh from being drowned by his grandfather, Balor. #Tlachtga was the daughter of Mog Ruith, a powerful blind sorcerer, associated with the Hill of Ward and the November 1st fire festival of Samhain. #Bé Chuille was a Danann druidess who was involved in the defeat of Carman, the Celtic witch. Queen Medb was warned by the Danann druidess and seer, #Fedelma, of the defeat of her army.“

Was für ein krass guter Text und welch interessante Inszenierung. In der rein männlichen Besetzung von Regisseur #ErsanMondtag werden die Gewaltmechanismen noch deutlicher.
Schon 15 Minuten vor Beginn der Vorstellung saß der Darsteller des Woyzeck auf der Bühne und starrte seltsam ins Publikum.
The #Israeli military says there are still eight "points of engagement" in its territory, a day after #Palestinian militants stormed into #Israel from #Gaza
These are #Sderot , #Zikim , #Yakhini , #KfarAza , #Be'eri , #Re'im, #Kissufim , #Sufa
A spokesman says Israel is "still at war... still completing efforts to take full control of Israeli territory and communities from #Hamas " #IDF
I'm surprised the details made it into the public. The article also mentions how techbros tend to label their clandestine conversations as "I'm doing a crime here" as well. It very much makes me think of Trump and how he wants people to know he is doing a crime but does not want to suffer any negative consequences.
The latest @pluralistic is full of so many fantastic points. I've forwarded this a half dozen ways with seperate pull quotes for each friend
"For a lot of people, the analysis stops here. "If you're not paying for the product, you're the product." Google locks in users and sells them to advertisers, who are their co-conspirators in a scheme to screw the rest of us.
But that's not right. For one thing, paying for a product doesn't mean you won't be the product. Apple charges a thousand bucks for an iPhone and then nonconsensually spies on every iOS user in order to target ads to them (and lies about it):
John Deere charges six figures for its tractors, then runs a grift that blocks farmers from fixing their own machines, and then uses their control over repair to silence farmers who complain about it:

Forget F1: the only car race that matters now is the race to turn your car into a digital extraction machine, a high-speed inkjet printer on wheels, stealing your private data as it picks your pocket. Your car's digital infrastructure is a costly, dangerous nightmare - but for automakers in pursuit of postcapitalist utopia, it's a dream they can't give up on.
They've come up with a valuable treasure they extract when they win the #RightToRepair: Deere singles out farmers who complain about its policies and refuses to repair their tractors, stranding them with six-figure, two-ton paperweight:
Ruins of an abandoned country house - This is the abandoned building I posted a pinhole photo of yesterday. This is the front of the building, which has mostly collapsed and now is just rubble.
