“No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.” - Clarice Lispector

World News@quokk.au•'You can't display that': Palestinian flags become a target at US World Cup games
7·1 day agoIn my opinion all major sports organizations and teams should be designed from the start to be international criminal investigation entities that automatically begin criminal investigations behind the scenes of whoever buys them/whoever runs them.
Would this necessarily be ethical?
Maybe not… but it would sure as heck be practical!

1·3 days agoTo take hold fascism requires hypocrisy so shocking anyone that remains in denial about it becomes a prisoner of their own emotions once some time with their eyes cast elsewhere has passed and a void has already in the meantime been ripped in their reality.
Then all fascism requires to sustain itself are twisted and in grown forms of unaddressed subterranean guilt, a virtually limitless resource.

3·7 days agoIf it helps strangle the NHS further, mission accomplished!
Palantir hasn’t altered its behaviour in the face of such criticism. Peter Thiel, the firm’s Trump-supporting co-founder, talks enthusiastically of melding technological progress with nationalist politics. Alex Karp, Thiel’s business partner and classmate at Stanford, who has a PhD in social theory from the Goethe University Frankfurt, has joked about using a drone to spray sceptical market analysts with ‘light fentanyl-based urine’. In April, a 22-point manifesto by Karp heralding the dawn of AI-enabled US military supremacy was posted on Palantir’s X account. As the company’s founders embrace Trump’s increasingly authoritarian second term, its market capitalisation has risen to $320 billion, 150 times earnings. The Economist has speculated that ‘Palantir might be the most overvalued firm of all time.’
