UK's Floating Migrant Prison

youtube.com/watch?v=iHbBlS9fao.

The UK is using increasingly inhumane policies against migrants. The most recent example is a floating barge called Bibby Stockholm which has been compared to a floating prison and is being used as a detention facility for migrants. We spoke to the volunteer-run migrant charity Care4Calais, putting the migrant barge in the context of the UK's anti-migration offensive. Joe Cullinane of Care4Calais argues that the UK government's demonization of migrants is being used to distract attention from larger domestic crises.

Voilà : tu as bien là toute la construction politique de ces gens.

Ce n’est pas du complotisme. Mais en accuser ceux qui tentent de les balancer est le dernier clou du cercueil.

Le tout est un récit de la . Ce à quoi sert la société du spectacle.
D’oĂč le fait que je n’écoute rien de ce qu’ils dĂ©blatĂšrent. Je regarde les actes et je suis l’argent : c’est lĂ  qu’ils sont.

A quotation from Cox, Marcelene:

«
Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of trees is lost when raking leaves.

Good afternoon. The year is 2023 and web browsers still do not have notifications permission on my computer for any reason.

There are already numerous ways to compete for my attention and randomasswebsite.lol does not need to even get the chance to ask me if it can send me notifications the moment it loads. 😉

Estoy con una angustia que no me cabe en el cuerpo, intentando distraerme con juegos chorras de apenas 2-3 minutos que os he visto a veces por aquí compartiendo resultados, tipo la palabra del día, rhogule, dungleon... ¿me podéis enlazar esos y mås de ese tipo para tener localizados para estos momentos?

In This Essay I Will: On Distraction theparisreview.org/blog/2023/0

'From Elements, a portfolio by Roger Vieillard in issue no. 16 (Spring–Summer 1957).

I began writing this essay while putting off writing another one. My apartment is full of books I haven’t read, and others I read so long ago that I barely remember what’s in them. When I’m writing something, I’m often tempted to pick one up that has nothing to do with my subject. I’ve always wanted to read this, I think, idly flipping through, my eyes fixing on a stray phrase or two. Maybe it will give me a new idea.'

I used to think it silly how many were on . Then I realized it's not just for trigger warnings and objectionable content, but to respect the structural integrity of people's streams. There is a lot to say in favor of being able to move down your feed without images blatantly wrestling for your attention all the time. Probably it shouldn't be misnamed "private" but maybe just "hidden"

I cherish any wholesome, tidy, intentional and non-distracting place I find on the Internet.

It takes some persistence and luck to find such things.

I have learned to beware of what readily falls in my lap from an algorithmic feed or recommendation, as enticing as those are.

Everybody needs a little nudge sometimes.

Gotta love the power of Apple Shortcuts. 😄

"[W]e should recognize that the uptick in baseless attacks on Joe Biden and his son is a sure sign of desperation by Republicans. They know the indictments will weaken Trump among Independents, Democrats, and a smattering of Republicans—enough to matter to Trump’s election prospects. The louder they bellow, the more frightened they are."

What's more interesting than the plane in which you just had your first flight in a light aircraft?

With bad news for the expected when the By-election results are announced, isn’t it about time the news media released a story about RAF jets being scrambled to chase off Russian aircraft?
