A continuing question and other matters:
Dear @TheElders and @_AfricanUnion (and @FelixUdps), in view of the widespread suffering there, what are you going to do for Uganda this year? @amnesty @hrw @POTUS @VP @UNHumanRights #SaveUganda #StandwithUganda #MissingPersonsUganda @MarisePayne @SenatorWong

This week I have made the following posts on my other blogs:
- On
chance
I was recently reading some more material on the staggering linkage of events and decisions over a month and a bit that led to World War One (WW1) happening when it did.
. . . - On
petty resistance
. . .
People have a tendency to get fixated on things - some minor, some major - at times. Why? Well, there are a stack of reasons - more so than the total number of people-fixations, I suspect (given our complexities as human beings).
. . . - What
if China attacked Taiwan ... and lost?
It seems to me that there is a tendency to automatically assume that China, because of its larger resources, would win, if it attacked Taiwan. However, as the Caspian Report recently pointed out, invading Taiwan is militarily challenging.
. . . - The
demoralising effect of commercialism
One of the things I've observed over the last three decades as the neoliberal ideology increases its pernicious influence in the world and, in particular - as far as this post goes - engineering, is the growth of a hardline form of commercialism.
This is evident in the strict adherence to the letter of contracts, even if that is not to the benefit of the community.

Interesting reading / viewing / sites this week:
- thoughts on the capacity of humans to share resources “with generosity and foresight”;
- nonbinary magic
- Monday,
