While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he was sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness is not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
H. G. Wells (1866-1946) British writer [Herbert George Wells]

“BBC CENSORED FILM ON BRITISH ARMY KILLING CHILD”
by Anne Cadwalladr in Declassified UK

@BBCNews“The very highest levels of the British government secretly exerted pressure on the BBC to censor a film about the army killing an unarmed child in 1972.
Official documents, recently discovered by the Pat Finucane Centre, also show the British Army was aware, shortly after the killing in Derry, that the boy had been killed at ‘point blank’ range by an immensely powerful machine-gun.
However the Ministry of Defence falsely informed an inquest into his death that he was shot from 25 meters away by a soldier who thought the boy was armed”

My word, how mortals take the gods to task!
All their afflictions come from us, we hear.
And what of their own failings? Greed and folly
double the suffering in the lot of man.

“foreign invaders are destroying Ireland...and they're not brown”
by Deaglan O’Mulrooney in the spectacle on Substack
@uk_politics
@Irelandtopnews
@IrelandAgainstFascism“There are foreign invaders are destroying Ireland. They have been for centuries. Today they are targeting brown families. Tomorrow they will be targeting us again. But the Irish people know who we are. We know our history, all of it, including the parts that the rolling news cameras only seem to notice when the victims have changed colour. We know that solidarity is the only weapon that has ever worked against the Empire. So we will stand with the minorities. We will defend their homes. We will tell the loyalist thugs: not on our watch. Because we remember. And we will never forget”

Ah, the illustrious art of battling Time Machine backups that kapoot faster than a 90s modem connection! 🤦♂️🔄 Apparently, Apple's grand advice is to hit the "reset" button like a frustrated gamer on their third boss battle. And don't even get started on Spotlight, it's more like Dimlight when it comes to finding anything useful. 🔍💥

3/3 As the former British army person said: “One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist”.
Seeing images of children playing their version of “Cowboys and Indians” (IRA and soldiers) with their toy guns arresting each other was especially jolting.

2/3 Watching a former British soldier recount the moment when he got injured from an explosive made me think of what could happen if Trump continues on his fascist trajectory.
Big armies are generally equipped do deal with other armies. Dealing with guerrilla warfare is an entirely different beast. Especially in an urban environment where you can’t distinguish “friend from foe”, resistance can take on any form.

1/ Watching “Once a time in Northern Ireland” documentary about “The troubles” from the late 60s to the late 90s is heartbreaking.
Across the pond, we aren’t taught much if anything about Ireland or it’s history. I’m just vaguely aware of the “Good Friday Agreement” but nothing really of how the troubles started or how it went on for 30 years.
The documentary has interviews from different participants ranging from Catholics, Protestants and former British army.

🤔 Apparently, discovering that #NVMe #SSDs can be used on a Raspberry Pi is #groundbreaking news for the guy who just emerged from under a rock. 🚀 And don't miss the riveting saga of "more #ZFS troubles"—because we all love a good disaster, especially when it's self-inflicted. 📚 2,508 words later, you'll wish you were still asleep.
