On political compass, where X scale is more or less traditional left vs. right, egalitarian - hierarchical, but the Y scale is instead of "authoritarian" marked as nuclear energy needed = yes, nuclear energy not needed = no, you are at:
Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump
Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes
But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.

英國《BBC》製作和播放的長壽劇集《Silent Witness》，今年二月播出第 29 季，而在日前播出的最新一集，當中有一段提到黎智英、流亡港人。
在該集劇集中，一名流亡港人女子，形容自己因為爭取自由被威脅、通輯，而她做過的只是策劃示威要求釋放黎智英。劇集角色又在討論中形容，黎智英是香港富商和和平的民主倡議者，他留在香港為自由而戰，但被港府被家中帶走再單獨囚禁，該名流亡港人女子又指自己不介意留下 DNA 樣本，日後認屍都較方便。

QUEER NIHILISM
I have written a new essay (an hour of your time) which discusses "queer nihilism" or an anti-politics (that is, something against the politics of this world) of wild desire.
It is from a work in progress which is focusing on "the wild" as an alternative to our civilisations of death and oppression, a theorisation of anarchy.
It will interest those who have an interest in an alternative politics - and an alternative to politics - queer theory, nihilism, anarchism and all anti-civilisationalists.

#Poland urges officials to ditch #Signal for state-run messaging apps

Let's start the week with a simple message from UN Women.
Stop telling women how to live their life!
The continued focus of the media on telling women what to do reflects a wide-spread sexism in global societies.... it won't be stoped abruptly, but behind much prejudice is this assumed male right.
So, my friends, if you find yourself telling a women how to live their life ask yourself: have I the right to be offering unasked-for 'guidance' or 'advice'?

第 68 屆格林美獎頒獎禮今日（2月2日）在洛杉磯登場，90 歲的西藏流亡精神領袖達賴喇嘛，憑《冥想：達賴喇嘛尊者的反思（Meditations: The Reflections Of His Holiness The Dalai Lama）》，獲頒「最佳有聲書、旁白和故事講述錄音獎」，是這名諾具爾和平獎得主首獲格林美獎。
由於達賴喇嘛未能親身出席頒獎禮，由參與製作的音樂人溫萊特代領獎項。《冥想：達賴喇嘛尊者的反思》融合印度古典音樂元素，專輯全長 59分鐘，內容取材自達賴喇嘛過往的演講與著作，探討正念、和諧與幸福感等主題，並由達賴喇嘛以英語分享自己對十個主題的想法。
達賴喇嘛則在 IG 發表得獎感言，指以感恩和謙卑的心接受這項殊榮，他不認為獎項是對他個人的認可，而是對普世責任的肯定，「我堅信，和平、慈悲、保護環境及理解人類大同，對全人類福祉至關重要。」
中國官方一如所料對達賴喇嘛獲獎表達強烈不滿， 外交部發言人林劍在例行記...
