@ablackcatstail Also, re: Stallman: I love free software, and have contributed to several projects for a very long time, but be careful you don't go too far down the rabbithole. For example, if you require accessibility, it'll be necessary for you to essentially have a foot in both worlds. And Stallman doesn't really have an answer for that, (I.E., accessibility is not a part of any version of the GPL license, and tends to get short shrift by projects, and his answer is +

I’m laughing at memes about billionaires who can’t pull themselves up to the surface by their own bootstraps, but in reality I’m furious.

I’m furious I was accused of human smuggling by FRONTEX (European border agency) for being part of a sea rescue operation that saved 1000+ lives of refugees fleeing war & terrorism.

I’m furious at the money and international effort being spent to rescue these billionaires when operations like ours cost so little and save so many lives, but are punished.

Attached: 2 images People are watching GOP reactions to Trump's TV confessions. Erick Erickson said, "Guys, Trump admitted on TV tonight he withheld documents from the grand jury. Game over, legally. What an idiot." "Legally" it's game over. But what about politically? How far will hardcore MAGA go to defend him? Will it split the party, thereby causing them to lose the 2024 election big time? (On the theory that Trump will torpedo any nominee that isn't him?) Or will they fall in line again?

It’s not correct to say, as this author does, that all Abrahamic religions look to the afterlife exclusively, instead of life on earth. We do not reject embodiment. We don’t say to ourselves: go ahead, plunder resources, exploit the earth beyond its ability to heal. That’s not permitted.

Judaism has always focused on making the present, material life, sanctified. All of it.

In fact, eco-Judaism is original Judaism, not some modern afterthought tacked on by current sentiments. You cannot make your land into a wasteland & call yourself spiritually guided. It violates the very heart of our duties in this corporeal life.

Space is awesome, and I love it. But I have no illusions about a techo-miracle future. We’ve squandered our resources on disposable junk and poisonous convenience. Our future is here, whether we want it to be or not.

So let’s make it a place worth living in. Let’s sanctify our daily lives.
