Vi må venne oss til tanken på at vi ikke nødvendigvis har ei framtid, og ta grep for å sikre at vi har det. Kanskje kan det hjelpe oss å forberede oss, at vi tar et nytt blikk på historia?

@eivind kommer an på vind, men for mitt vedkommende går nok grensa ved mer enn ca 22+ i skyggen. Muligens litt høyere etter et par ukers tilvenning.

Meldt 27 denne uka.

Vi er nå over fra "for vått til å male" til grenselandet mot "for varmt til å male".

Morgendagen lover vel at vi fort overskrider grensa.

@mrundkvist The weather is nice, supposed to stay that way, and another wall has been made ready for painting ...

Alright, this took way longer to make than I am willing to admit. But the fact it didn't exist bugged me.

@mrundkvist Apparently, I'm reading something academic and doing a bit of work in the garden.

I plan on not doing any actual work, but if the day gets too long, I might start writing up something for an evaluation.

This is for all the people who get all righteous about "illegal immigration". Get a grip.

The image is divided into six sections with text highlighting historical injustices. The top row shows images of the Holocaust and hiding Jews, emphasizing that the Holocaust was legal, but hiding Jews was criminalized. The middle row depicts slavery and the act of freeing slaves, stating that slavery was legal, but freeing slaves was criminalized. The bottom row shows segregation and protesting racism, pointing out that segregation was legal, but protesting racism was criminalized. At the bottom, there's a message: "Friendly reminder: legality isn't a guide to morality."

Il doit bien y avoir une différence, mais laquelle….

Timothy Snyder argues that the immigrants and refugees being sent to the new US-based camps will -- if history is any guide -- be offered to US firms as slave labor

so it'll be up to us, and corporates, to say no

https://snyder.substack.com/p/concentration-camp-labor

Screenshot reading:

The first action is simple. CEOs should now, this summer, this month, next week, sign a pledge not to use labor from concentration camps. It could be as simple as that: "On behalf of my firm I promise not to use labor from concentration camps nor to cooperate with any firm that does."

I can hear the first objection: "it's too soon." If this is not done now, some Americans companies will start using slave labor from concentration camps, and then others will claim that they must do so as well so as not to lose competitiveness or shareholder value or something. The appropriate euphemisms will be found, and all will soon seem normal. But everything will have changed. We will all be implicated. And we will all be more vulnerable.

The second objection: "it's politics." Yes, it is. The creation of a network of concentration camps is indeed politics. It is a politics, among other things, designed to draw businesses into a fascist order by normalizing dehumanization. It is a politics that creates incentives for ever wider groups of people to be excluded from legal protection, on the logic that this needed for economic growth. If there is no learning from the past, if there is no statement of principle, then cheap labor will corrupt companies and their shareholders, and indeed their consumers.

While the CEOs should act first and with explicit clarity, we are all implicated. Americans who shop, which means most of us, should avoid companies that employ labor....

Today I learned there are rules for Road Runner ... BEEP-BEEP!

(creator Chuck Jones’s rules for the Road Runner)

RULE 1. THE ROAD RUNNER CANNOT HARM THE COYOTE EXCEPT BY GOING "ВЕЕР-BEEP!"

RULE 2. NO OUTSIDE FORCE CAN HARM THE COYOTE - ONLY HIS OWN INEPTITUDE OR THE FAILURE OF THE ACME PRODUCTS.

RULE 3. THE COYOTE COULD STOP ANYTIME - IF HE WERE NOT A FANATIC. (REPEAT: "A FANATIC IS ONE WHO REDOUBLES HIS EFFORT WHEN HE HAS FORGOTTEN HIS AIM.' -GEORGE SANTAYANA)

RULE 4. NO DIALOGUE EVER, EXCEPT "ВЕЕР-BEEP!"

RULE 5. THE ROAD RUNNER MUST STAY ON THE ROAD - OTHERWISE, LOGICALLY, HE WOULD NOT BE CALLED ROAD RUNNER.

RULE 6. ALL ACTION MUST BE CONFINED TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE TWO CHARACTERS - THE SOUTHWEST AMERICAN DESERT.

RULE 7. ALL MATERIALS, TOOLS, WEAPONS, OR MECHANICAL CONVENIENCES MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE ACME CORPORATION.

RULE 8. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, MAKE GRAVITY THE COYOTE'S GREATEST ENEMY

RULE 9. THE COYOTE IS ALWAYS MORE HUMILIATED THAN HARMED BY HIS FAILURES.

@klefstadmyr @veronica Diskusjonen ble løftet, og stemningen ved middagsbordet var éntydig.

I anledning ryktene om reboot har arkeologfruen bidratt med følgende, mer realistiske idéer til oppfølgere:

- Indiana Jones og flateavdekningen
- Indiana Jones og kokegropene
- Indiana Jones får GIS-problemer
- Indiana Jones og kampen med DFØ
- Indiana Jones leverer reiseregning
- Indiana Jones finner ikke gull (og heller ikke dinosaurer)

@mrundkvist According to the weather forecast: painting the house. Not supposed to rain today (hollow laughter).

@JoWa Litt opp og ned. Jeg har kroniske søvnforstyrrelser og er stort sett oppe til ca. samme tid hver dag.

Feriemodus oppnådd!

Våkna siste gang 1 1/2 time seinere enn vanlig, og måtte resonnere meg fram til hvilken ukedag det er.

Det begynte (selvsagt) å regne igjen før jeg kom meg ut.

Men jeg hadde ordnet meg med sekker til hageavfall, så det ble gjort noe produktivt lell. Og deretter ble det opphold nok til at den ene veggen ble ferdig.

Hvis dette fortsetter, risikerer vi å ha malt ... sånn ca. en vegg til før sommerferien er over.

Nå har det snart vært opphold lenge nok til at det går an å få litt mer maling på veggen! 🤡

@atlefren Ække du gammal nok snart til å bare konkludere med at det _ikke_ er en Bra Ting™ med ungdom på Tinget fordi "Ungdommen Nå Til Dags"?

Etter å ha konsumert litt for mange fashy utspill fra ungdomspolitikere vurderer i alle fall jeg sterkt å skaffe meg en stokk å hytte mot skylaget med.
