so i decided before making pasta to see a bdg video. watching it gave me an absolute headache of a void, which i'll only be able to cover with some distracting cartoons & the delicious pasta imma make in a moment. let's go (and i have a point to make) here's the thing. i'm quite entrenched...

https://www.dw.com/en/brazil-bolsonaro-supporters-storm-national-congress/a-64320440?protocol-flip=0 Their supreme court, their national congress, both attacked by a crowd of protesters, wanting Lula's inauguration reversed. Snippets I've seen some talks about this elsewhere, but I'm curious...

Green politicians use airlines, and Danes don't like it. In Denmark, we've had another minor debacle about this hypocrisy. This time, Theresa Scavenius - who I happen to really like - has flown a lot from Aalborg to Copenhagen over the last two years, and it's been published in a fringe online...

Picking up on TMIT's claim in another thread, I think it's worth talking about. I'm going with a short version and a long version of the OP. Short version - litmus test. If someone says "political correctness" or "wokeism" they are not acquainted with any sort of the literature they're...

Violinist argument. Personhood doesn't matter. Why is this in a thread about guns Moved from the gun thread to keep the two conversations separate

I don't even know where to begin on this. I guess I'll begin with what we first heard about. More stuff has surfaced since it broke out a week ago, it's a complete mess, and some really dark stuff. Completely abhorrent business practices and equal pay abuse beside the (to some, less relevant)...

I'm well aware of the usual suspects on anarchism that lead to syndicalism, Bakunin and such. But do anyone know of writings on green syndicalism in particular? I know that it's a niche part of a relatively niche ideology (anarchism usually draws in more attention), but I have been looking for...

Yes. . Now, I'm biased. I'm coming from a country with no federally mandated minimum wage, where trade unions and employers instead bargain and set minimum wages on their own, as well as other working conditions. In the end, Denmark still has an effective minimum wage around 22 bucks an hour...

Biden immediately made 17 executive orders upon being inoculated. I haven't read their original wordings, but there's a summary of them in the NYT here. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/20/us/biden-executive-orders.html Any thoughts on this? It's mostly reversal of Trump's cronyism but I can't...

So DR and Sex & Samfund worked together on this. It's basically about a man (John) going around with a penis that has the same powers as Mr. Fantastic, being able to elongate absurdly at will, and fly as if a helicopter. Diller and dillermand are silly words for penis in Danish, so his name is...

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/05/us/politics/warnock-beats-loeffler-in-georgia-senate-race.html AP called it. The journalist infers in speculation that there was low voter turnout from Republicans due to assorted Trump nonsense. A Danish news source I originally lead noted that the other...

Title. In popular usage, I've mostly seen the argument presented by right-wingers as a pretend rebuttal to government services that left-wingers colloquially call "free". Free here of course meaning publicly funded with no private barrier to a service. So a right-winger will talk about lunch...

https://www.koda.dk/about-us/press-release-google-removes-all-danish-music-from-youtube Some background of what's going on here. Yes, the article is from the viewpoint of Koda, but I used it because it's a good summary of what's happening. Koda is basically the most prominent musicians'...

NEWNES - OUR ORIGINS In the beginning the earth was without form, and void. But the sun shone upon the sleeping earth, And deep inside the brittle crust, massive forces waited to be unleashed. The seas parted, and great continents were formed. Mountains arose, earthquakes spawned massive...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/05/danish-far-right-party-stram-kurs-calling-for-muslim-deportation-to-stand-in-election The whole article is relevant. You should read it. What's most disgusting is that the right wing parties in Denmark aren't denying working together with Stram...

Preaching to the choir here, but I wondered whether you had stumbled upon this newspiece or not. It went viral in Denmark and we all facepalmed basically. It's outright trash. pSFfTG42Jl8 The claims in the video were countered by this pdf provided by the Danish ambassador...

Facebook is peeing its pants over this, and Wall Street are watching. Large US data companies are prissy about it, and I've received a couple of mails saying I won't receive spam from them anymore. I'm yay for this. What are you? Will it change anything? Is it too technical for you to...
