the Palestinian movement repeatedly instructs us not to use AI; it diminishes real Palestinians who are actually surviving a genocide, and moreover gives the enemy material evidence to claim everything we're is saying is fake, backed up by AI-generated garbage.
we would do well to internalize that.

Seeing lots of admiration for this (on the other site, I confess) and there is some exquisite playing. Am I alone, though, in finding the opening of Op. 109 itself just too mannered?

I am so ashamed of my country.
In Argentina, we have a horrible past related to the use of torture in the fight of an alleged "internal enemy." Sounds familiar? Coincidentally (or not), this bloody past also involves the 2 other countries voting against this resolution.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

The hot debate on other side is over how to characterise analytic philosophy (or maybe Analytic Philosophy). Culture wars still raging on.

In Germany, public parks now host discreet mini laundromats built specifically for rough sleepers. Hidden behind ivy-covered screens or built into old park kiosks, these compact units feature solar-powered washing machines that run off electricity drawn from nearby lamp posts.

What comes across from the whole interview is that Danny Kruger has a big theory, and that big theory is "family breakdowns lead to societal breakdown", and he tries to tie everything back to that, and he's quite, quite mad.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
