Erbil – Il settarismo sta annientando il senso di appartenenza della nazione irachena, e anche i cristiani vengono «trascinati nella logica settaria e nelle sue divisioni».

Alexei Navalny has died a political prisoner in Russia. His decision to return to Russia and be imprisoned on political charges was brave, and in a country with less censorship might have stimulated opposition to Putin.

The Guardian has covered some modern Luddites, whose views are somewhat similar to my ideas — on free software and neighboring issues. Ms Crabapple even cited an FSF slogan!

Suggesting that we stop treating the subject of cancer as a taboo or unmentionable. And stop comparing it to a “battle”. My cancer treatment never felt like a battle to me.

“Virtual hospital beds” can now monitor a patient’s recovery while perse stays at home. It sounds like a useful idea, for certain patients (not those who might need a rapid intervention if something goes wrong).

The verdict in the insurrectionist’s fraud trial fined him 364 million dollars. It was not a criminal trial on charges of fraud. If it were, he could have ended up in prison once found guilty. *The “law-and-order” candidate is an adjudicated fraudster.* He is already responding by escalating the super-big-lie.

US citizens: phone your congresscritter and insist on clean funding bills that attach no new restrictions to government services.
