Apologies for reduced interaction lately - due to ill health.

In life, possessions are not what is important. Friendships and family are. Shared experiences are. Helping others achieve their potential. Making the world a better place for everyone. Stop voting for Politicians who only care about 'stuff' like gold wallpaper.

(Who I am isn't important - I'm not here to promote myself)

Life is an education, and I hope to learn from many of the wonderful people here.

A few weeks before Palestine Action was proscribed in Britain, anti-fascist French organisation Jeune Garde suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Macron government. Is Europeโ€™s extreme centre trying to eradicate left activism?

Is Banning Left Protest the New Normal?

So, we are at the point where displaying a Palestinian flag can be classified as terrorism, but Swastikas are ok.

Yes, I've said the same thing (and Zionists complained and got my comments removed). I'd go further and say that Zionists are doing some of the stuff from antisemitic tropes on purpose because they know that they can cry antisemitism if anyone calls them out on it. They have made it almost impossible to discuss their evil acts openly. Any type of racism or prejudice is wrong, but not more importantly wrong than murdering people, committing genocide, etc.

@GutterPoetry preach! They can call me antisemite all day long. In opposition to the majority of the western population (and apparently a large portion of israel) I know the difference between judaism, jews, israel, the israely government. Calling out the appalling crimes of both the israely government and the idf is not antisemitic, it is humanistic.

Wow! Thank you so much for all the replies to, and shares of, my post about the unemployment issues. So many great ideas were shared that I am sure will help so many people in the same situation as me (and sadly, there are a lot of us). The Fediverse is awesome!

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to get hired for any jobs that I've applied to over the past year. And at the age of 58, I don't think anything is going to change. No company wants to hire anyone my age. I've been talking with my wife and I might try to start doing...

I volunteered to give yet another zoom talk for yet another amateur astronomer group tomorrow night. So... there are now 7,965 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 12,089 total satellites (more than 500 new satellites in the ~2 months since I last gave this talk. Fuck, that's a lot.)

But this amateur astronomy group is sorta near silicon valley, so I'm telling myself that maybe Someone Important will listen and learn from my talk about satellite pollution. Maybe.
