Souless lost men needed, hopeless crushed men to help the rapist evade justice, cover over the cruelty to children, for Christmas.
Merry Christmas, everyone say Merry Christmas, dont let them make you not say Merry Christmas.
Stop the war on Christmas by protecting the Pedos, and never sleep again.
Covering up pedophilia is hurting the children again.

To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. A grievance can almost serve as a substitute for hope; it not infrequently happens that those who hunger for hope give their allegiance to him who offers them a grievance.

Hydrogen car Hyundai Nexo in driving report: Better – and still hopeless
The new Hyundai Nexo does everything better than its predecessor. The idea of a fuel cell car is apparently not to be killed off, despite the lack of prospects.

✍️📚 #FRIASBookHighlights Part I
📖🔍 “To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause” is a compelling account of the Soviet dissident movement that defied the Kremlin and hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union. Benjamin Nathans chronicles the dramatic stories of individuals—from renowned figures like Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn to lesser-known activists—who used Soviet law to challenge state power. Drawing on personal diaries, memoirs, letters and KGB records, Nathans reveals how these dissidents, acting like free people in an unfree society, became symbols of #resistance. This vivid narrative not only illuminates their impact on the 20th century but also resonates with ongoing struggles for #freedom today.🏆 Benjamin Nathans was FRIAS Marie S. Curie FCFP Fellow 2022/23. His book was awarded the #PulitzerPrize in 2025.
👥 At FRIAS, our fellows benefit from the freedom to fully dedicate themselves to their #research The focused and supportive environment allows them to write, think, and create in depth. Many fellows publish the results of their work in leading international journals and with renowned publishers.
📚 In this series, we present a curated selection of book highlights from the academic year 2024/25 – works that took shape at FRIAS. #friasbookhighlights

"'Cause it's night on the sun
You're hopelessly hopeless
I hope so, for you
Well, there's one thing
To know about this town
It's five hundred miles underground
And that's alright, that's alright
Well, there's one thing
To know about this globe
It's bound and it's willing to explode
And that's alright, that's alright
That's alright, that's alright
Well, there's one thing
To know about this town
Not a person doesn't
Want me underground
That's alright, that's alright
That's alright
There's one thing
To know about this town
It's five hundred miles underground
And that's okay
That's alright, that's alright
There's one thing
To know about this earth
We're put here just to make more dirt
And that's okay
That's alright, that's alright
Well, there's one thing
To know about this globe
It's bound and it's willing to explode
And that's okay
That's alright, that's alright
There's one thing
To know about this town
It's five hundred miles underground
And that's okay
That's alright, that's alright..."- #ModestMouse, 2001 EP

#Upscayl LLM #upscaling test drive with a rather hopeless case - a 1990’s Polish video clip available at totally terrible resolution.
Video was pulled of YT using

upscaylon the PNG files infulldirectory with output tofull2/snap/upscayl/39/opt/Upscayl/resources/bin/upscayl-bin -i full -o full2 -m ../models -n upscayl-standard-4xBecause of the Snap confinement on Ubuntu Upscayl (in short) doesn’t see the GPU, but the above command line call works around this limitation, it just needs to be done by hand, not from GUI.

CW: existential despair
I am seriously considering going cold turkey from news.
I'm feeling more and more paralyzed by the hopelessness of seeing everything crumbling. What little good news there is pales in comparison to the unceasing onslaught of tragedy.
My operating theory until now has been, "I need to know what's going on so I can resist," but what's the point if there isn't a single thing I can do to stop the descent?
The #collapse is in progress, and I'm pretty #hopeless.

I have to return to an article I published two weeks ago: “Why Even Try? A European Answer to Digital Pessimism“, because it turns out the problem may be deeper than I thought. Do we really believe this little in ourselves? Where does this deep-seated defeatism come from?
I’ve said it before: when I talk about the idea of European digital autonomy, I don’t do so naively. The nature of an idea is that it detaches from current limitations and dares to propose a direction. It might never be fully realized, but it offers guidance. If we start from a place of disbelief, we end up with nihilism.
I was glad to see that the TLDR News EU YouTube channel recently published a video asking whether Europe needs its own social media platforms. But I was disheartened to see that the main argument for it was the EU’s ability to better control content and thus counter foreign influence, like Elon Musk’s political meddling via X (formerly Twitter).
To me, that’s missing the point entirely. We don’t need European alternatives so the EU can control them. We need them so no one can. Platforms aligned with European values should be resilient against both corporate and political dominance. Their virality shouldn’t be driven by profit-maximizing algorithms but by human sharing—one follower at a time. Mastodon and the Fediverse show this is already feasible, even if imperfect.
Yes, such platforms may not thrive under traditional business models—but isn’t that a feature, not a bug? One of our core European values is that not everything should be subject to market forces.
The TLDR video also lists the usual difficulties: network effects, lower quality of European tech, fragmentation. They question whether EU algorithms might also generate echo chambers. But this presumes that European platforms would merely copy American designs—an assumption I strongly reject. Most concerning is the implicit conclusion that building something based on European values would be too complicated to attempt:
- Europe lacks the digital infrastructure the US has, especially in AI and cybersecurity
- The EU doesn’t have the same startup culture
- The EU consists of 27 separate markets and languages
I agree with these facts. But to use them as reasons to give up is terrifying. Have we truly lost the spirit of “not because it is easy, but because it is hard”—the very mindset that once made America great?
It’s hypocritical and unsustainable to celebrate European values while depending entirely on foreign platforms that directly undermine them. That’s like applauding environmentalism while importing goods made with child labor and environmental destruction—as long as it’s far from Europe, we pretend we’re clean.
If we accept that European values can only survive by outsourcing their violation elsewhere, then basically we agree that Elon Musk was right when he said: “The biggest weakness of the West was empathy.”
Yes, the challenge is enormous—but not impossible. Do we really think Europe lacks the minds to build strong AI models? That we can’t scale up our search engines, maps, or data centers? That multilingual platforms can’t be enhanced with translation tools—just like the US platforms already use? This isn’t a lack of cognitive capacity. It’s not even a lack of production capability. We are on par with our global peers in that regard.
What we lack is alignment across all levels—users, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. I know the foundation is shaky. It always was. But if we don’t address this now, in 10–20 years there may be nothing left to preserve.
Regardless of whether you’re conservative or progressive, you’ll find that the European culture and values you care about are no longer there. Despite all our differences, I still believe we Europeans could think together—about what we share, what we want to preserve, and what kind of digital future we want to shape. We must.
