Coline Fay : ce que l’on sait sur la militante française détenue au Sénégal
https://mrmondialisation.org/coline-fay-militante-francaise-detenue-senegal/
Coline Fay, Iséroise de 26 ans, a été placée en détention au Sénégal. Son emprisonnement du 24 novembre dernier fait suite à son arrestation lors d’un rassemblement – pacifique tout du long – devant la Cour Suprême à Dakar le 17 novembre, en soutien à Ousmane Sanko. Ce dernier, principal opposant du régime autoritaire sénégalais, […]

That could have gone better. With the back end jacked up and as I was finishing the grinding off of bumpy welds, I started smell fuel really strongly. Front hard line has sprung quite a bad leak, which then stops when the car is on the level. That'd explain the occasional fuel whiff this car has I guess. Time for me to make and fit all new fuel lines. Great joy.

Jimmy Lulua is one of five men who embarked on a 76-kilometre journey by foot over the Homathko Icefield in British Columbia.

It was once undertaken by the people of Xeni Gwet’in #FirstNations to #trade amongst coastal peoples.

The journey was fraught with #danger so it was a monumental expedition back in times past. And that remains true today.

My go-to method of browning chicken breasts for dinner works miracles. Pound chicken to desired thickness, add salt and pepper and whatever spices suit the recipe, and brown in a hot cast iron pan with a little oil or other fat. When both sides are brown, add some white wine, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit until needed, then chop/dice/what-have-you for the recipe.

That said, even though it’s “just wine,” mind that the venting steam is quite flammable.

Braverman getting anywhere near to being leader of a British political party, makes me realise how it must have felt for those who did not want Hitler in the 1930’s. I know this is a serious thing to say but I feel it so strongly. We, as a nation, need to remember what our core values are and there is no way those core values are the ones Braverman holds.

The first says don't overload the suspension bridge (just 15!), plus cautions against swimming (because crocodiles). The second is about falling branches (always good advice). The final is to be on the lookout for fer-de-lances (Bothrops asper), a highly venomous pit viper. #travel #danger #safety #nature #CostaRica #LaSelva #ots

One of the dangers of requiring measurable outcomes is that it restricts us to concentrate on what can be measured, not what's important

https://www.conferencesthatwork.com/index.php/facilitating-change/2014/01/why-measurable-outcomes-arent-always-a-good-thing

#FacilitatingChange #MeasurableOutcomes #learning #objectives #measurement #danger

On measurable outcomes: A self-referential comic entitled "Self-Description" with three panels. By XKCD, Comic #688. The contents of any one panel are dependent on the contents of every panel including itself. In the first panel's pie chart, "this image" refers to the entire comic image, the one that can be downloaded from xkcd (and the entire comic as displayed here above). In the second panel the amount of black used in each panel is displayed in a bar chart. This actually makes this panel the one that uses most black. The third panel features a scatter plot labeled "Location of black ink in this image." It is the first quadrant of a cartesian plane with the zeroes marked. The graph is the whole comic scaled proportionally to fit the axes, so the last panel also has to contain an image of itself having an image of itself ad infinitum.

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-o&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion

Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.

Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.

One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”

The Origin of Student Debt:

Regan advisor warned that Free College would create a Dangerous Educated Proletariat

It’s important to understand how Americans came to #owe the current cumulative total of *more than $1.6 trillion* for higher education.

In 1970, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection as governor of California. He had first won in 1966 with confrontational rhetoric toward the University of California public college system and executed confrontational policies when in office. In May 1970, Reagan shut down all 28 UC and Cal State campuses in the midst of student protests against the Vietnam War and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia. On October 29, less than a week before the election, his education adviser #Roger A. #Freeman spoke at a press conference to defend him.

Freeman’s remarks were reported the next day in the San Francisco Chronicle under the headline “Professor Sees Peril in Education.”

According to the Chronicle article, Freeman said, “We are in #danger of producing an #educated #proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be #selective on who we #allow [to go to college].”

“If not,” Freeman continued, “we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people.”

Freeman also said — taking a highly idiosyncratic perspective on the cause of fascism —“that’s what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.”

A coworker of mine set up a group blog thing for folks to share the launch day experience -- I just found my backup of this:
