"Thresholds stands for the present as a place where no one can stay and that only exists because one thing has occurred and another still awaits. For people with biographies characterized by migration, the temporal perception of the present as a threshold between the retrospective and the prospective is paired with a fundamental spatial and physical experience of living at the intersection of different belongings."

If you think the context of #MLK Jr.’s 1967 proclamation about #Israel, #zionism, and #antisemitism must have been different from today’s context, think again.
Kramer, Martin. “In the Words of Martin Luther King.” In The War on Error: Israel, Islam, and the Middle East, 254-67. New Brunswick, NJ and London: Transaction Publishers, 2016.
I think King was highlighting how #antisemitism is often cloaked and made more palatable, disguised as anti-Zionism instead.
For example, Countless posts here in the #fediverse read like this:
Death to the Zionists! appears alongside a link to a story about the #Hamas terror attack in central Jerusalem the other day. So the 77 year old Israeli woman killed by the car ramming becomes a Zionist, worthy of death - when her only crime was being Jewish & waiting on the 🚌. #bullshit

‘… some people are testing at Day 1 and Day 2 and saying, 'Oh, it's negative, I don't have COVID,'" Hudson said. "If they probably tested themselves a couple of days later, there's a pretty good chance that it actually would turn out to be COVID."’
Just what I’ve been saying for months.
Asserting that RATs are a great way to keep others safe is #Bullshit.
I like working on projects that enable marginalised persons to take back their autonomy on and offline. I subscribe to #diy and am a voracious #autodidact. I make #bots for #mastodon and the #fedi. I'm building a replacement for #bandcamp and #spotify.
The Claudine Gay situation is unfortunate because it took plagiarism allegations for her to acknowledge what went wrong in her handling of the antisemitism situation at Harvard.

It's easy to dismiss Stefanik as 'know-nothing' but it helps to clarify what we mean by that. The eponymous "Know-Nothings" knew very damn well, thank you, & were making a show of REPUDIATING their knowledge. That's Stefanik. She is one shrewd, nasty asshole who absolutely knows what lies she's selling & does not care one whit that they are lies. (What the late Harry Frankfurt would've described using a technical term from moral philosophy as #bullshit.) @carnage4life
Every time I have a video call with my elderly dad, he asks me about yet another pro-China video he has seen and how the US is “doomed” and “falling far behind” or whatever. These video clips are widely distributed through family WhatsApp chat groups in Asia and they are just blatant disinformation and propaganda.
And now, generative AI is going to make these easier and faster to produce.
“A pro-China technology and anti-US influence operation thrives on YouTube”
So. It appears that the U.S. Constitution that everyone swears an oath to protect and defend, waves around like a symbol of all that’s holy, and totes around next to their heart in their pocket only stands for something if it lines up with what you want it to mean.
Sry. Hat mir gar nicht gefallen, die kapitale Werbung fürne Marketingberaterin in Sachen Kunst im DLF. Das ist krasseste Abzocke und Beihilfe.
Wenn ihr eh null Ahnung habt, lasst es.
Am Osnabrücker Altstadtbahnhof ist das erste vollautomatische Fahrradparkhaus der Stadt eröffnet worden. In dem 16 Meter hohen "BikeTower" können rund 160 Fahrräder geschützt abgestellt werden.
Das Ein- und Ausparken erfolge per Smartphone-App nach einem Paternoster-System, so der Betreiber. So können Reisende ihr Fahrrad rund um die Uhr parken und wieder abholen.
If Kim actually fired a #nuke at the #UnitedStates, the #DPRK would be completely vaporized before their #missile entered US #airspace. Their #saberRattling and #bluster is a joke because of how implausible their #threats are. But these threats aren't really for the benefit of other nations. It's all about feeding the #NorthKorean people a steady supply of #bullshit to maintain morale. I doubt they even have the capability to strike the US with a functioning nuke.
My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.
