  1. #usa #israel #iran : #warofaggression / #domesticpolicy

    „[P]roblems that are … existential for Israel — its growing international #isolation, its #braindrain & economic woes, its tremendous domestic #polarization, its creeping annexation of the West#Bank, #Gaza’s instability, #Hamas’s future — all sit on the back burner. Victory over Iran would no doubt transform the country’s security prospects (…) But it will not be enough to mend the country’s deepest #divisions.“

  2. #Fascism will never run out of #people to eat; once it destroys its initial #victims, it will create #divisions amongst its own and start eating its #supporters.

  3. @merriamwebster, I’m hearing the distress of lots of my #editor #colleagues about the decision to not show #word #divisions in the 12th edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. What was the reasoning behind this? And why no warning about the change?

  4. Hype for the Future 22B: Is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg an Allegory for Segregation?

    While Lake Chaubunagungamaug is indeed notable for having a full name that is the longest in all of North America, and the translation is quite ecological and refers to meeting in the middle, the folk translation replaces community with classism, replacing communalism with capitalism, and referring to segregation. Especially in terms of historical contexts, regarding race, sex, gender, class, sexual orientation, age, disability, origin, and all other dimensions of diversity, arbitrary […]

  5. In an echo of #Russia’s #influence campaign, #China appears to be trying to harness #partisan #divisions to undermine the #Biden admin’s policies, despite recent efforts by the 2 countries to lower the temperature in their relations.

    Some of the #Chinese accounts impersonate fervent #Trump fans, including one [still allowed] on #X that purported to be “a father, husband & son” who was “#MAGA all the way!!”

  6. Covert #Chinese accounts are masquerading online as #American supporters of #Trump, promoting #ConspiracyTheories, stoking domestic #divisions & attacking President #Biden ahead of the election in Nov.

    The accts signal a potential tactical shift in how #China aims to #influence American #politics, w/more of a willingness to target specific candidates & parties, including Biden.

  7. 2. Here’s a brief summary about #projection.

    In an individual, it can be a short term solution to feelings of inadequacy and intense feelings of all sorts.

    In a leader, as that leader’s main defence mechanism, it could lead to stoking #divisions in a country and eventually civil war or warring with other countries.

    Sound familiar?

  8. He blamed #SocialMedia for #amplifying the #divisions & reducing a thorny #international dispute to what he viewed as #sloganeering.

    Yet he urged his fmr aides to “take in the #WholeTruth,” seemingly attempting to strike a balance between the killings on both sides.

    “What #Hamas did was horrific, & there’s no justification for it,” #Obama said. “& what is also true is that the #occupation & what’s happening to #Palestinians is unbearable.”

  9. House “Speaker” #KevinMcCarthy has been vague about his plans for such a meeting, but implied Tues that one would take place during #Zelensky’s Thurs visit.
    
The continuing #economic & #military #support to #Ukraine is estimated to be ~$73B globally.
    
Over the course of his 15-min speech, Zelensky warned wavering leaders not to trust #Russia, which he said has sought to #exploit #divisions w/ #propaganda campaigns across #Africa, #LatinAmerica & parts of #Asia.

  10. On 19-20 June, the @dw Global Media Forum meets in Bonn to discuss "Overcoming divisions." We will also be there with an interactive panel discussion with our Dr. Josephine B. Schmitt and Eser Aktay on "Overcoming #diversity issues in news media"! The panel will ask which instruments are needed in order to become truly inclusive and to encounter discrimination and exclusion?

  11. A discussion about #CSS with @doriane brings back the 2008 "Dividing and sharing" text by #FemkeSnelting
    "It is obviously convenient to organise #web #development according to a so­called ’three tier architecture’, confining the work of programmers and the flexibility and speed of work gained from a clear #divisions of tasks is not to be underestimated. But if #design is more than packaging, than work needs to be shared rather than divided to allow for precise connections between presentation and content.
    If you think about webdesign as the work of articulation, of making temporary alliances which somehow have the potential to bring perspective to the data presented, then design has to go deeper than skin. It means to engage in the untidy #interdisciplinary #practice of rendering visible relations between database architecture, filtering and structure of data itself. Each time data appears in a new context is a re­writing, re­staging, reinterpretation. For that to happen in meaningful ways, code, content, behaviour and presentation need to mix and mingle."

  12. Amazingly, noone on #socialNetworks that we've seen has posted a graph tracking how much money #theFed has printed for #assetPurchases to pump up markets.

    Its out there — we just can't post images.

    The Central Bank Digital Slavery project continues along quite nicely.

    The #divisions between people based on covid response, seem to serve as a distraction to what is actually going on.

    Its not going to end well… maybe that's the point.

  15. Stay in your lane. I wonder if our world might be well-served by all of us heeding that particular advice. I know nothing about most things, a bit about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things. I get irritated when someone who knows less than me tries to engage as if we are equally informed. I imagine everyone feels the same. So how about a little humility? How about we defer a little? Maybe listen to experts? I’m willing to do my part. #stayinyourlane #divisions #usa #politics
