Yeah I just got back from HKG. This policy sucks but it is to be expected. It is still a rocking cool place and I'm not gonna avoid it cause of this. They aren't the ones shooting their citizens on the street or sending people to needlessly die in random foreign wars.

@evacide the absolute irony of the US bitching about this.
@evacide see also America.

Doctors treating the casualties of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have urged world leaders to take action against violations of international law – warning of the horrifying parallels between Israeli actions in Gaza and what it is now doing in Lebanon.

British surgeon Dr Tom Potokar, who was inside Gaza’s European hospital near Khan Younis when it was bombed by Israel ten months ago, told Sky News on Thursday:
"The violation of international humanitarian laws has become normalised.
Once again we’re seeing attacks on the medical infrastructure, just like we saw in Gaza, but this time in Lebanon. Once again, we’re seeing attacks on hospital staff, ambulance workers and first responders."

He said there was the familiar “condemnation and words from political leaders, yet no action - nothing is done to stop these violations”.

"Hospitals should be places of refuge where you can receive treatment and are protected under international law. Yet they and first responders continue to be subject to attack."

This is the purpose of AI surveillance. Not only does it serve commercial interests in tracking everything that we say or do and of course purchase, as well as what’s in our bank accounts, pervasive surveillance, enables governments to track social movements and opinion.

Every stinking moment of our lives

#PhotoOfTheDay #blacksmithing theme week continues with this railroad spike knife that I forged. The contrast between the dark, crunchy spike end and the shiny blade is always something that I find aesthetically pleasing.
