Our Foreign Policy as Fable

Thinking about...

Threads shows this if you use "bad words" in your post. Well, fuck you. F-bombs are harmless these days, compared to the bigger picture. People are dying, we are allowed to be angry.

I'm glad I can express anger, joy, or any human emotion, and use profanity freely here in the Fediverse.

Ainakin toistaiseksi kylmää ja lumista niinkuin perinteiseen maailmanjärjestykseen tähän aikaan vuodesta on kuulunut. Tästä voinee iloita.

But also this from @pluralistic

"Both climate and tech activists have to show people that this crisis stems from systemic dysfunctions, not individual consumption choices. We have to get our supporters to stop focusing on agonizing about whether they should use a plastic straw or agonizing about whether they should quit Facebook, and focus instead on using politics to shatter the power of the giant, wildly profitable corporations that got us into this crisis. We need to smash oil companies like Chevron and Exxon, and we have to smash oily rag companies like Facebook and Google"

“The ‘Kill Switch’ prophecy becomes reality

Experts warned earlier: “Europe is digitally dependent on the US—everything can be shut down with a single click.” Back then it sounded like a far‑fetched doomsday scenario. How could an ally do that?

But on May 16, 2025, we saw what that ‘button’ looks like in practice. Microsoft blocked the email accounts of the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. Due to political pressure from the US, an independent legal institution was digitally gagged. Case files became inaccessible. Communication went dark.

This incident proves something fundamental: our vital infrastructure is a guest on servers we don’t control. If a tech giant (or the government behind it) decides you’re a problem, you’re out—whether you’re a citizen or an international court.”

On ollut pitkään jonkinlainen henkinen tilaus Virginia Woolfille. Yksi ratkaiseva sysäys oli Ylen lähettämät Orlandon äänikirjajaksot, jotka sattumoisin kuulin, nekin jo vuosia sitten. Nyt Itäkeskuksen Kierrätyskeskuksen kirjaosastolta löytyi tämä hieno Orlandon painos. #virginiawoolf #orlando #secondhandbooks #kierrätyskeskus #sattumoisin
