An out of the blue #blog from #drewdevault https://drewdevault.com/2023/06/29/Burno.. I cannot speak to what he has gone through. But. You can't tell people to be be #critical of *very* serious claims made. You cannot tell people to not want a #codeofconduct for their own #project . You cannot tell people to believe in some #ideology because they #claim it harms them if you don't ( #lgbt ). There's very little #tolerance in his #viewpoint .
Apparently the #river #rhine #water #level has now dropped to a #critical level: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rhine-.. Apparently this will begin to #disrupt #barges in and out of #germany - a Country about to head towards a #recession .
#joerogan on the #hypocrisy of the #leftwing just a few years ago on #ukraine before the #russian #invasion https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watc.. Extremely strange. #ukraine has their problems, but they don't deserve to be #invaded . I think we should very much be allowed to be #critical of #ukraine and #support them at the same time.
#canadians now #striking because of the #shortage of #fertilizer , a #critical part in #food #production https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/30.. This may be the single biggest problem in the last however many years, and I count in that #covid and the 2008 #financial #crisis
#russian #sanctions now mean cutting off non- #critical #drugs from #us #drugmaker #elililly https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eli-li..
Great point by #lotuseaters that we shouldn't stop being #critical of exactly who were are #supporting in #ukraine https://youtube.com/watch?v=ONKn4Rt_XUA #symbology to watch out for includes #swastikas and #blacksun #emblems - which appears to have #caught out even #nato https://www.newsweek.com/nato-says-it-di..
Interesting, the #us 's #pentagon appeared to have boxed themselves into a corner by relying on a #monopoly #supplier for the #production of #critical #military #hardware - specifically #globalfoundries #semiconductors https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/monop.. Apparently the #chips is #gps systems.
I think #petertchir misses a few more points on his #article over on #zerohedge https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/butter.. #china and the #netherlands (likely other places too) have been shutting down #critical #production in order reserve #energy - including #food - which will most definitely lead to a #food #shortage . The #pla #fighterjets over #taiwan is just a sign that the #ccp are fucked. Add to this the inability to #ship stuff and a #chip shortage!
Something about this story still doesn't make sense: https://www.nzz.ch/english/swiss-phd-stu.. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the first to get #critical about #china 's #ccp - but something about this #swiss #phd student getting removed from their PhD seems strange. Also I highly suspect that the #supervisor had something to do with the #termination ... I'm still waiting to see actual emails before making judgement.
