Now that it is official US policy to promote regime change in Europe and to dismantle the EU I wonder if we will take sovereignty over tech more seriously

This is an important and heartfelt letter. Unfortunately there has been a real blindspot among some people on the British and European left. We should oppose imperialism and fascism, wherever they occur.

Hea algus raamatuarvustusele, eriti tervitatav, et Kivivalge omale: "Tegelikult vajaks „2013–2024” kasutusjuhendit, mitte arvustust. Ehkki füüsiliselt on see ju raamat ning kindlasti ka kirjandus, toimib see nagu masin."

Kratt nimega Kivivalgel - Keel ja Kirjandus
Tegelikult vajaks „2013–2024” kasutusjuhendit, mitte arvustust. Ehkki füüsiliselt on see ju raamat ning kindlasti ka kirjandus, toimib see nagu masin. Seletava sõnaraamatu järgi on masin „inimese kehalist v. vaimset tööd kergendav ja tõhustav seade v. seadmete kogum”. Eestlase arhetüüpne masin on kratt, millele Kivivalgel viitab juba raamatu alguses, võrreldes seda kirjandusliku loominguga, mis on samuti […]

I am speechless. How lousy are Halloween costumes compared to this. Estonian traditional mardipäev and kadripäev costumes are no worse than this though. Costumes by #sunn O)))'s Attila Csihar are also reminded.

Wilder Mann | Charles Fréger
For two years in 2010 and 2011, Charles Fréger criss-crossed Europe from north to south, from Finland to Portugal, passing through Romania, Germany and Slovenia, in search of the figure of the savage as it survives in local popular traditions. These images, like archetypes, half-man half-beast, animal or vegetable, resurface from the depths of time

It wasn't just the Democrat establishment and its major donors who did everything they could to sink Mamdani. It was also large sections of the "liberal" press. What do we learn from this? That they would rather the Democrats fail than be led by people who want a fairer, kinder, greener society.
