#Uganda's #AntiGay #Law Causing #Wave of #HumanRights #Abuses, #Activists Say.
It said this pointed to the way the #law and the rampant #homophobic #rhetoric that preceeded its #passage earlier in the year had #radicalized the #public against the #LGBTQ #community.
We also (in addition to illegal parking) need urgent action to reclaim our #footpaths from the small number of businesses abusing #public space and ignoring the "retail spillout" boundaries on #MacCurtainStreet. The designed footpath width is intended to be 3 metres, with bar furniture inside the (marked) retail areas.
The few bars blocking the two ends of the street create a hostile walking & wheeling environment. The #street is only as wide as it's narrowest point.

“If the question relates in any way to #misinformation or #disinformation, please do not respond,” read the guidance email, sent in July after a Louisiana judge blocked many #FederalAgencies from communicating w/ social media companies….
A World of Slaves:
Most Americans haven’t seen what’s coming.
Nancy MacLean notes that when the #Kochs’ control of the GOP kicked into high gear after the financial crisis of 2007-08, many were so stunned by the “shock-and-awe” tactics of #shutting #down government, #destroying #labor unions, and #rolling #back #services that meet citizens’ basic necessities that few realized that many leading the charge had been trained in economics at Virginia institutions, especially George Mason University.
Wasn’t it just a new, particularly vicious wave of partisan politics?
It wasn’t.
MacLean convincingly illustrates that it was something far more disturbing.
MacLean is not the only scholar to sound the alarm that the country is experiencing a #hostile #takeover that is well on its way to radically, and perhaps permanently, altering the society.
Peter #Temin, former head of the MIT economics department, INET grantee, and author of "The Vanishing Middle Class", as well as economist Gordon #Lafer of the University of Oregon and author of "The One Percent Solution", have provided eye-opening analyses of where America is headed and why.
MacLean adds another dimension to this dystopian big picture, acquainting us with what has been overlooked in the capitalist right wing’s playbook.
She observes, for example, that many liberals have missed the point of strategies like #privatization.
Efforts to “reform” #public #education and #Social #Security are not just about a preference for the private sector over the public sector, she argues. You can wrap your head around those, even if you don’t agree.
Instead, MacLean contends, the goal of these strategies is to radically alter power relations, #weakening pro-public forces and #enhancing the #lobbying #power and commitment of the corporations that take over public services and resources, thus advancing the plans to #dismantle #democracy and make way for a return to #oligarchy.
The majority will be held captive so that the wealthy can finally be free to do as they please, no matter how destructive.
MacLean argues that despite the rhetoric of Virginia school acolytes, shrinking big government is not really the point.
The #oligarchs require a government with tremendous new powers so that they can bypass the will of the people.
This, as MacLean points out, requires greatly #expanding #police #powers “to control the resultant popular anger.”
The spreading use of pre-emption by GOP-controlled state legislatures to suppress local progressive victories such as living wage ordinances is another example of the right’s #aggressive use of #state #power.
👉Could these right-wing capitalists allow private companies to fill #prisons with helpless citizens—or, more profitable still, right-less undocumented #immigrants? ☑️They could, and have.
👉Might they engineer a #retirement #crisis by moving Americans to inadequate 401(k)s? ☑️Done.
👉Take away the rights of consumers and workers to bring grievances to court by making them sign #forced #arbitration agreements? ☑️Check.
👉Gut #public #education to the point where ordinary people have such bleak prospects that they have no energy to fight back? ☑️Getting it done.
👉Would they even refuse children #clean #water? ☑️Actually, yes.
MacLean notes that in #Flint, Michigan, Americans got a taste of what the emerging oligarchy will look like — it tastes like #poisoned #water. There, the Koch-funded Mackinac Center pushed for legislation that would allow the governor to take control of communities facing emergency and put unelected managers in charge.
In Flint, one such manager switched the city’s water supply to a polluted river, but the Mackinac Center’s lobbyists ensured that the law was fortified by protections against lawsuits that poisoned inhabitants might bring. Tens of thousands of children were exposed to #lead, a substance known to cause serious health problems including brain damage.
Libertarian economist Tyler #Cowen has provided an economic #justification for this kind of #brutality, stating that where it is difficult to get clean water, private companies should take over and make people pay for it. “This includes giving them the right to cut off people who don’t—or can’t—pay their bills,” he explains.
To many this sounds grotesquely #inhumane, but it is a way of thinking that has deep roots in America.
In "Why I, Too, Am Not a Conservative" (2005), Buchanan considers the charge of #heartlessness made against the kind of classic liberal that he took himself to be.
MacLean interprets his discussion to mean that people who “failed to foresee and save money for their future needs” are to be treated, as Buchanan put it, “as #subordinate members of the species, akin to…#animals who are dependent.’”
Do you have your education, health care, and retirement personally funded against all possible exigencies?
Then that means #you.
Gravy Train to Oligarchy
Historian Nancy MacLean explains that Virginia’s white elite and the pro-corporate president of the University of Virginia, Colgate Darden, who had married into the DuPont family, found James Buchanan’s ideas to be spot on.
In nurturing a new intelligentsia to commit to his values, Buchanan stated that he needed a “#gravy #train,” and with backers like Charles #Koch and conservative foundations like the #Scaife Family Charitable Trusts, others hopped aboard.
Money, Buchanan knew, can be a persuasive tool in academia. His circle of influence began to widen.
MacLean observes that the #Virginia #school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented Chicago and Austrian schools — proponents of all three were members of the #Mont #Pelerin #Society, an international neoliberal organization which included Milton #Friedman and Friedrich #Hayek.
But the Virginia school’s focus and career missions were distinct. In an interview with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), MacLean described Friedman and Buchanan as yin and yang:
“Friedman was this genial, personable character who loved to be in the limelight and made a sunny case for the free market and the freedom to choose and so forth.
"Buchanan was the dark side of this: he thought, ok, fine, they can make a case for the free market, but everybody knows that free markets have externalities and other problems. So he wanted to keep people from believing that government could be the alternative to those problems.”
The Virginia school also differs from other economic schools in a marked reliance on #abstract #theory rather than mathematics or empirical evidence.
That a Nobel Prize was awarded in 1986 to an economist who so determinedly bucked the academic trends of his day was nothing short of stunning, MacLean observes. But, then, it was the peak of the #Reagan era, an administration several Buchanan students joined.
Buchanan’s school focused on #public #choice #theory, later adding constitutional economics and the new field of law and economics to its core research and advocacy.
The economist saw that his vision would never come to fruition by focusing on who rules. It was much better to focus on the rules themselves, and that required a “#constitutional #revolution.”
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/533763/democracy-in-chains-by-nancy-maclean/9781101980972/
In 1965 James M. Buchanan launched a center dedicated to his theories at the University of Virginia, which later relocated to George Mason University.
Nancy MacLean describes how he trained thinkers to push back against the Brown v. Board of Education decision to desegregate America’s public schools and to challenge the constitutional perspectives and federal policy that enabled it.
She notes that he took care to use economic and political precepts, rather than overtly racial arguments, to make his case, which nonetheless gave cover to racists who knew that spelling out their prejudices would alienate the country.
All the while, a ghost hovered in the background — that of John C. #Calhoun of South Carolina, senator and seventh vice president of the United States.
Calhoun was an intellectual and political powerhouse in the South from the 1820s until his death in 1850, expending his formidable energy to defend slavery. Calhoun, called the “#Marx of the #Master #Class” by historian Richard Hofstadter, saw himself and his fellow southern oligarchs as victims of the majority.
Therefore, as MacLean explains, he sought to create “#constitutional #gadgets” to constrict the operations of government.
Economists Tyler #Cowen and Alexander #Tabarrok, both of George Mason University, have noted the two men’s affinities, heralding Calhoun “a precursor of modern #public #choice theory” who “anticipates” Buchanan’s thinking.
MacLean observes that both focused on how #democracy constrains property owners and aimed for ways to restrict the latitude of voters.
She argues that unlike even the most property-friendly founders Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, Buchanan wanted a private governing #elite of #corporate #power that was wholly released from public accountability.
Suppressing voting, changing legislative processes so that a normal majority could no longer prevail, sowing public distrust of government institutions— all these were tactics toward the goal.
But the Holy Grail was the #Constitution: alter it and you could increase and secure the power of the wealthy in a way that no politician could ever challenge.

I just had two posts #censored from mastodon.social. I will never know the real reason, but both were just the longest possible sequence of tags, to reach and be visible to a large audience. I suspect what ticked the hammer off were tags referring to "prohibited" substances. namely #thc #weed #marijuana #LSD #acid #tryptamine #hallucinogenic. the posts were deleted without informing me even though I was also using tags such as "moderation" and "noalcohol" in the same post. why is it forbidden to talk positively about these blissful compounds that nature gifts us, while hyperconsumption of #alcohol, #nicotine and #coffee is normalized and even encouraged, and the elite is allowed to indulge unquestioned, including #public #officials?

Why have we basically made it #illegal to be a kid in #public?
#Kids cannot be outside without their parents constantly watching them, they cannot play on the #street (because we made them too dangerous) or even sidewalks in some #cities, and even loitering (existing in public) is illegal in many places. We've made kid-friendly #transportation such as bicycles, skateboards, and rollerblades illegal in many places. It's no wonder why kids are rarely found #outside anymore.

The #DOJ had argued that #Doughty’s ruling was overly broad & could “chill” a wide range of lawful communications between the govt & #SocialMedia companies, especially in the face of #public #emergencies.…
Any #appeal of the order would bring the debate over #online #speech before #SCOTUS, which is already expected to take up conflicting appeals court rulings over state social media #laws this year.
The decision is likely to have a wide-ranging impact on how the #FederalGovernment communicates w/the #public & the #SocialMedia companies about key #PublicHealth issues & the #2024elections.
The case is the most successful salvo to date in a growing #conservative #legal & #political effort to limit coordination between the federal govt & #tech platforms.
“There is no valid reason for my #recusal in this case,” Justice #Alito wrote. Any notion that his vote might be affected by his connection to the lawyer, he added, “fundamentally misunderstands the circumstances under which #SupremeCourt justices must work.”
The stmnt was his 1st #public response to criticism that he had #breached an #ethical line after sitting down for multiple interviews w/a #lawyer (guys c’mon!) in the case, David B. #Rivkin Jr., who writes for the op pages of The #WSJ.
When the world gets too messed up and confusing, I turn to Terry Pratchett for help.
Today I found solace in The Truth.
W/the promotions of our most snr ldrs on hold, there is a domino effect upending the lives of our more jnr #officers, too.
…prolonged uncertainty & #political battles over these #military noms will have a corrosive effect on the force.
The generals & admirals who will be leading our forces a decade from now are colonels & captains today. They are watching this #spectacle & might conclude that their #service …is no longer valued by members of #Congress or, by extension, the American #public.
@BrodieOnLinux @yisraeldov yeah.
The fact that @tails does "appointment-only" access to their #SepfHosted #Gitlab prevents me from actually helping and improving #Tails.
Tho Gitlab is propably designed on purpose for that and was never meant to be used as #public solution...

@geerlingguy *nodds in agreement*
Were the #GPLv3 not ideological garbage but actually comitted to #FLOSS remaining #public, it would've chosen #PublicAccessibilit to code as priority over illegally demanding surrender of all #Patents and #IP.
In fact, #grsecurity #paywalling the code was the first warning shot, and when that went through, others like #Elastic and #MongoDB and now #RedHat saw that they could get away with #paywalls on #FLOSS...
It's sickening.
Thrasher's "This Old Ledge" series is amazing. #skateboarding #histories meet and conflict with #architecture, #urbanplanning, and #public #art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmcSSQKH1d8

I am running a #public #summer #camp in my city. We have a whole day of fun camp activities planned for Tu B’Av. During craft time, we will be making cards about friendship and #love, and paper flowers. We will be decorating and eating delicious love-themed cupcakes (heart-shaped strawberries pressed into the icing!).

#public #yyj If any #government municipalities and authorities are listening, it is high time to stop pretending like #twitter #facebook #instagram or similar private black-box social media are valid channels for public announcements. This is an ineffective, exclusionary and increasingly risky strategy for achieving public awareness.
#Question: what are your favorite #software tools for visualizing new #roadway and #intersection designs?
If you wanted to communicate how a proposed intersection or roadway redesign would look and feel to the public, what would you use?
I'm looking specifically for examples of tools that are fairly easy to use by non-experts and can create realistic renderings suitable for #public engagement.
Thank you!

"If you're looking for objective data on incivility in public spaces, the FAA's Unruly Passenger Statistics provide a surprisingly detailed view" ... I EAT TAPAS offers some crunchable numbers in dubious_dude's Ask Metafilter thread about the seeming trend of people behaving badly in public.

@ItsGregory @stux I remember the first #IRC split in 1990; #Eris was the #evil #server then. Next #Undernet split off, then #BT & #Europe split from the #USA in 1996.
There are always baddies, but they don't always turn out to be too dangerous when they're behind decent fences and #Policy.
That being said, #Microsoft #Comic #Chat was pretty dire! Not because MS was evil like #Meta #Threads but because the product was so crap, and they used a completely different protocol on #public #channels.
"People generally understand that public posts are public. But today, you need a new mental model of what it means to write something online. It’s no longer a question of who can see the information, but how it could be used."

You probably don't think about #sewer #rat #ecology. Or rather, you probably don't want to think about it.
But Guo et al. (2023) did in this comprehensive review. This type of work is important for #public #health and control of #invasive #species.
Rats prefer:
🐀 narrow pipes,
🐀 low water flow,
🐀 older construction materials,
🐀 disrepair leading to nooks and crannies,
🐀 being near to houses and restaurants,
🐀 organic matter, for instance from sink grinders.

Fortunately @EC_DIGIT you saw that coming, and you embraced the #Fediverse before the batteries went dead on the global megaphone, right?
Maybe this time the @EU_Commission will consider the necessity of #FreeSoftware as a #PUBLIC digital infrastructure?
Let's hope our work at @NGIZero is not vain and limited to polishing the mirrors of #EU institutions.
People need voice. Freedom cannot rely on their enemies to provide that voice. Why are we paying taxes if not to make the world better?
And more so than in other cities, i think, #police and others recruited to be the #displacement machine are doing so not because of a #culture of #harassing #houseless people (although #MayorFrey is doing his best to inculcate that attitude), but due to top-down directives and initiatives.
It's way past time to cut the #Parks department out of this #cycle of #violence
