I'm just pointing out that he doesn't have any more allegiance to US foriegn policy than any other non-American has.

If you have a problem with people trying to influence election results in other people's countries, then you should have just as big a problem with the CIA as you have with Assange.

I'm far from being a fan of his but I am a fan of human rights and this whole thing has been a travesty. And something I notice a lot is the sentiment that Assange should have been loyal to US interests.

It scares me how human rights goes out the window when it comes to people who are disliked.

his own personal foreign policy

Assange is an Australian.

Oh hell this just gets worse and worse. I'm concerned for the survivors. 30,000 displaced. I really hope the two factions are able to work together:

The enormous task of providing immediate aid and then rebuilding Derna is complicated by the legacies of a decade of civil conflict, which has left two rival governments ruling eastern and western Libya.

Derna is controlled by the Libyan National Army, run by Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter and based in the eastern city of Tobruk. The rest of the country is run by the Government of National Unity based in the capital, Tripoli, in the west.

This split has hampered reconstructions efforts for years — though aid workers say both sides are now talking to each other.

If you ever do need a hot temp oil use rice bran oil.

Thanks, I appreciate her point of view.

I hope one day I can be in a similar headspace.

Congratulations!

This part here needs to be shared widely:

Some of Hadden’s former patients, including Yang, called legislators to push for the passage of the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that opened a temporary window for victims of abuse to file civil suits against their abusers, even when a statute of limitations has expired. The window will close on Nov. 23.

Because Columbia refuses to notify them, an untold number of Hadden’s patients remain unaware that he has been convicted.

This is just so sad. It must have been terrifying for those people.

Omigosh, this is amazing!!! I love you. ♡ Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Thanks! I was quite confused about the apps!

Thanks!

I'm usually on android but thanks, good suggestion!

Thanks, I hadn't heard on NextDNS.

The devs for kbin are one person called Ernest and a bunch of people who stepped in to help him when the reddit exodus happened. The vibe is it's more like an open beta.

Will look out for it!

Nowadays there are Saints for everything

There have always been local gods for everything.

This is why Catholicism has historically been such a sucessful religion, it's inherently quite syncretic.

It adapts to local conditions and incorporates aspects, just like capitalism and viruses.

It's even horrifying how much it has deteriorated in my lifetime. I grew up with stuff like safe river swimming, I can remember having to drive super slowly on rainy nights because of all the frogs hopping up the road. Maui's dolphin still had a viable population. Things like that.

Sounds good! I learned about it from Wikipedia, which is a bit dry.

To understand where she's coming from it's also worth reading her very moving article on how Modi handled the covid pandemic ‘We are witnessing a crime against humanity’: Arundhati Roy on India’s Covid catastrophe.
