Insubordination.

That is, not just following orders.

That is, not being a fascist.

I've only seen aurora once, in downtown Minneapolis ca. 1994? It was so amazing that it was visible in such a light-polluted space. Hope to see it again before I die (but tonight is not that night, super cloudy plus unfavorable latitude)

Fan of clouds here.

No need lights in sky. Too many lights already. Too much light even through clouds in daytime.

Vibe'n will sign it into law.

Anyone who has paid attention to who he was for half a century before being inaugurated to the highest office in the land will tell you...

Vibe'n will sign the anti-sedition act (masquerading as an anti-discrimination act) into law.

"According to some of the more outlandish theories, other survivors of sunken Lemuria turned to the sea, and became whales, dolphins, and mermaids. Others have walked among humans as shamans and prophets ever since, explaining why many religions are so similar. Sadly, there is no word on whether some Lemurians actually transformed into lemurs"

If can issue this statement--when AFAIK they are basically owned by General Dynamics, or something to that effect--it really puts the lie to other institutions' administrators' inability to do anything other than roll around in their own shit while calling the cops. Pardon my French.

cop (v.)

"to seize, to catch, capture or arrest as a prisoner," 1704, northern British dialect, of uncertain origin; perhaps ultimately from French caper "seize, to take"...

Listening in, as my roommate participates in virtual seder hosted by Jewish Voices for Peace, as organizers, each introducing themselves by describing their physical appearance for blind participants, reminisce about struggling only years ago to figure out virtual community, as context for acknowledgement that covid is not over, that it still is not safe, then turn the mic over to the sign language interpreters, to likewise describe and introduce themselves.

This is what solidarity sounds like.

Anti-homeless ordinances being used against student protests, you say?

Instruments of being employed to suppress dissent, you say?

Whodda thunk?

—unlike categorical class—is about relations to power as a matter of praxis, a matter of habit, a matter of habitus.

classposture is a lumpen relation: to camp in protest is to inhabit relations not by nor postures claimed by workerists, but as the unaccommodated, the nuisance.

Rutgers long ago established "Tent State" to refer to a multi-campus movement consisting of annual protest camp actions.

Nonetheless, in light of LAPD escalation tonight, it seems not impossible that the hashtag will begin circulating in a very different, more sinister sense…

In the not very far future.

LESO/1033 and Cop City have been about preparing for this very moment.

The fifth estate will escalate further. It's what they're for.

@inquiline

Without referencing the originated of this quote (as have recently learned, as is often the case, they're not the bastion of praxis they present as), the following seems apropos:

"Conservatives, typically, just defend old progressive ideas."

They were discussing self-identified conservatives.

Myself, find this an exemplary characterization of anyone who defends old progressive ideas to the exclusion of current struggle & praxis.

Is folk like Dreary that make this reading so apt.

Racists ain't "stupid".

They just like power.

Racists don't do "stupid" things.

They just like power.

Intellectual ableism is also a power trip.

@strypey @Bel_tamtu

Yeah, "sloppy word choice of people letting off steam" is a common argument used when caught in bigotry.

"I'm not a racist. I was just angry. That doesn't represent who I really am." Etc.

That's just it. It does reflect one's biases, when one is stressed enough—as in, when one would let of steam—to speak without filter. Those words came from somewhere.

"Acting against their own interest" is also problematic, as it presumes authority on what another person's interest are.

A reminder, as always, that fascism ain't about hate.

Fascism is about control.

Hate is just an inescapably powerful means of control.

Thus fascists leverage hate to its utmost. It is a means.

This is how people who have been the targets of fascism can nonetheless, themselves, be fascist.

This is how institutions ostensibly aimed at checking fascism, can nonetheless, operationally, be fascist.

Was encouraging to see greater faculty solidarity with student protesters following police action.

Now encouraging to see news of student protests for other grievances, in parallel with pro-Palestine protests.

News that those protests are also being met with force? Yep, that's the way solidarity on a mass scale happens.

Those in power escalate their overreaction so much that disparate groups come together in common cause.

The more protests, for the more reasons, the more police are stressed.

Today's random wikipedia page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_languages

stemming from recent thoughts I've had wondering what makes a programming language more "internationalizable". I consider myself very grateful that English is my first language and thus the barrier to entry and progression is much lower, but what about the rest of the world?

@andrew_chou Am thinking of BASIC on 8-bit machines. The keywords were entered and displayed as words, but stored as interpreter bytecode. This made efficient use of limited RAM.

There's no reason a modern interpreted bytecode language couldn't use keyword localization tables. The challenge would be variable and function names. There'd have to be introspection within the language for mapping new localizations, on an ad hoc basis, to code snippets used in instruction & libraries for development.
