Israel Accuses The New York Times Of Antisemitic Journalism, And Other Notes (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2026-05-12) [excerpts about Reuters]

>> It’s downright poetic all the different words that #Reuters editors can find to avoid saying Israel violated a ceasefire.

A Reuters headline from May 10 reads “Israeli strikes kill three people in Gaza, medics say, testing fragile ceasefire”.One from May 7 reads, “Israel strikes Beirut for the first time since the ceasefire”
April 27: “Israeli strikes hit east Lebanon, expanding scope despite ceasefire”
April 22: “Attacks in south Lebanon strain ceasefire on eve of Washington talks”

At this moment in time I tend to say that #mankind is too busy to solve wicked problems. More #reflection, out of the box #thinking, and shedding ourselves of the #dogma's that the "1984 Brave new world" emergent vicious spiral is continuously imprinting on us, so we talk in #Newspeak to each other. Or just have no time, or lack #attention and #patience to #listen. MUST. CHANGE. WORLD.
That way, those who want to make a difference are "Lost in the World". Like many of us in world-improving fedi crowds, including me, sometimes feel.
However we have to keep positive and muster optimistic mindset, and make #progress. Sitting down and giving up is simply no option, guarantees defeat. Unless we have no other choice, because life interferes, or we burnt our privilege in this unsustainable #grassroots environment, end of "FOSS burn cycle" in case of open #technology development.
#SteveCutts and #Moby express it perfectly in this aptly-named music video.

La pasada primavera Erik Assadourian le daba un buen repaso al proceso de trasformación de la realidad climática que el maestro de las "fake news", Donald Trump, estaba realizando en los EE. UU.

#MickeyRourke as a racist misogynist and whatever else in #YearoftheDragon, who ruthlessly walks over dead bodies, is impressively "scary". A #thriller that would be unthinkable today, but perhaps that's why it has significance, if only in the sense of breaking through #Newspeak?! #filmsky #movies

CW: politics, AI, conspiracy theory, tin-foil hat stuff
AI slop brainrot == “Newspeak” (of “1984”)In the famous George Orwell novel 1984, “Big Brother” was the mass surveillance system, and “Newspeak” was the ruling regime’s method of trying to simplify spoken language so as to limit the range of thoughts that people were able to think. It was a highly simplified language that optimized reverence of “Big Brother” (the political elite) and hatred of “the others.” Fascists have always want to make “Big Brother” a realty, and AI gives them a new tool with which to do it. It does both things at once.
AI could do the mass surveillance, with a tireless machine monitoring every conversation everywhere and raising flags in law enforcement agencies as soon as you start talking about something that might threaten the political elites, dispatching police to arrest you and keep you in a black-site awaiting a fair trial that will never come.
But it can also simplify the very language that people use for discourse. If you are a fluent and literate person, you may have noticed that articles written by AI tend to be very monotonous. Now imagine that tone, that writing style, being deliberately simplified by training it on the corpus of all interviews on Fox News, and the corpus of all sermons by mega-church pastors. Could you imagine the effect that would have on people who become addicted to AI? It is exactly what Orwell warned us about in his novel.
AI, like any technology can be used for good or bad. I think we need to understand that “Big Brother” is really the end goal of the people who want to use AI for bad, for the clique of political elites to enrich themselves at the expense of all other people. It seems to me the bad guys who actually want to become “Big Brother” of the story of “1984” are two steps ahead of everyone else right now. That should concern you, it should concern everyone.
Is this all a just conspiracy theory, or unhinged divination? Did we not just learn from the Epstein papers of a global conspiracy to traffic many thousands of young children into sex slavery for billionaires, implicating literally hundreds if not thousands of political/business elites? This isn’t “Pizza-Gate” we’re talking about here. At this point, I think everyone is entitled to assume the worst of the highest-ranking government and industry officials.

"Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you, Big Brother, Big Brother"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRSA8tzMhqs

24 years ago the terrible No Child Left Behind Act was enacted. It along with the rise of anti-intellectualism are a major reason our world looks the way it does today. The dumbing down of our education system has left many struggling to communicate effectively and have poor media literacy as a direct result.
It wasn't alone. There have been a thousand tiny cuts, but NCLB was a pretty deep one.

The #ICE killing takes #America a step closer to #GeorgeOrwell’s nightmare
The Trump administration’s reaction to the fatal shooting of #ReneeGood is another dark chapter in its rewriting of history – and has disturbing echoes of the dystopian 1984, writes Sean O’Grady
Thursday 08 January 2026
Excerpt: "'#Orwellian' is a word that gets chucked around far too much, but there is surely something quite sinister in the official responses to the shooting of a civilian, Renee Good, in Minneapolis by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
"Obviously, there’s always some room for argument about what happened and why in such circumstances, but not about the more obvious facts, backed up by videos and eyewitness accounts.
"The ultimate boss of ICE, the homeland security secretary, #KristiNoem, declared that Good was involved in an act of '#DomesticTerrorism', as if she were an Isis operative – and with zero evidence to back up that extreme claim, and little sign that she was deliberately using her vehicle as a weapon. "

Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism
"Freedom and liberation are never-ending tasks.""There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”

"So instead of saying #NonCitizen or #migrant, they're supposed to say #alien. Instead of saying #integration, they're supposed to say #assimilation, things like that. And this particular worker described it as the most #1984 thing that they've ever gotten. And this is happening all across the #government"

A comment from #TAOUP on minilanguages:
"[mini languages]... you can use them to write high-level programs that embody task-specific intelligence."
So I'm referring to " #ai " #llm stuff as #tsi from now on. 🙎♀️😋
As in: " you know, the TSI sure fuc*s up the search these days.. "
Could that fly? Probs not, but hey, #resistance in the form of how we communicate things is a very real, millenia old concept.

Reminds us of how the #MadeInAustralia campaign was corrupted about 5 years ago.Powers that be announced that everyone had to put the widely recognised (and once respected) Made In #Australia iconography on everything, but with a little slider underneath to show the percentage of Australian product in the package.
So we now have some products with no local, Australian ingredients with the #kangarooIcon.
