- There's a lot of articles written about how the far-right organises people with barbecues and activity clubs, but I think a new left has also been emerging based on sociability and clubs.

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouThe ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouIf I ever met Grendel from "Beowulf" I'd be like "Nice vengeance, did your MOM get it for you?"
- Well it's Groundhog Day.... Again.
- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouI know 2m20s is a fairly big commitment for a Bluesky video - but I do think this is top 0.001% output from a local news station. I watch it at least once a year, every February. Take a look.
- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouDOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouThe priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.
- Actually this is a solid research design I should sell to Total Defence Research Institute FOI.
- If you want to see Swedish people spontaneously react to a crisis just drop your wooly hat or gloves in public and the entire street organises to make sure your extremities don't freeze!

- I've been struggling to find my angle in my rural development/mental health thesis. But I just heard @patrickwyman.bsky.social discuss James C Scott and the subsistence ethos and I literally yelled HEURIKA. Because the drachma dropped and I realised I should be looking at *absence* of an activity.
- Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouThe word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”
- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouA group of hundreds, many of them nurses still wearing badges after walking from their nearby hospitals, performed a Nightingale Tribute — a traditional send off for nurses — for Alex Pretti, who was killed Saturday by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis.
- There's an old anarchist pamphlet against terrorism called "You Can't Blow Up a Social Relationship." The IR version of this is "You Can't Special Operations Your Way to International Hegemony."

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouVery little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouI would say this findings shows women are more AI literate than men, because the majority of non-magical beings have no innate ability to "judge truthfulness"
- Big AI day for ministers www.gov.uk/government/p... Expect big media splashes on this.
- Whoops
- First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
- This is obviously true, but the last 40 years of mainstream political strategy has been based on the opposite theory. Namely triangulation, which is the idea that voters who you treat badly will have *nowhere else to go.*
- Not only the lowest ever poll for Liberals, but the lowest eve for a parliamentary party. What does this mean? It means more Moderate leaders will be telling people *not* to tactically vote for their Liberal allies.

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouNEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

- Reposted by Loukas ChristodoulouSeeing the US government flail in trying to frame these as anything but executions by incompetent trigger happy goons makes me feel like I owe an apology to the FSB morons I mocked for trying to stage an apartment as a Ukrainian terror plot but planting a copy of The Sims III instead of 3 SIM cards.
- Reposted by Loukas Christodouloustop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
