Once more, someone's life is made more of a slog because database designers refuse to acknowledge what humans actually are and do. Then every functionary tries to pound square pegs into a round hole, blaming the victim all the way.

@RichardJMurphy explains here that Labour 's Rachel Reeves could save unnecessary interest payments of £20 billion per year, which makes Labour's choice to cut funding for the elderly and disabled people even more blatantly a choice for necropolitics, IMO.

I shall complain a little bit on a stance from EFF and how I think they should be pushing harder. Not so long ago Australia decided to ban any platform where users can upload things, to anybody who is younger than 16 years. This is an ageist, paternalistic atrocity and has to be fought with viciousness. Yet EFF seem to only understand the ...

It is quite funny to me that we live in the world full with people that contradict themselves whenever possible. Politically Conservative people tend to always bring up "Free Speech" whenever Liberal-minded people disagree with their opinions. Yet they are also very much in the business of censorship themselves. We s...

“The reality, of course, is that the pressure to maintain the appearance of youth (through methods that inevitably perpetuate classist, ageist and racist systems) is bankrupting, sickening and distracting practically every woman over the age of 25, with the new “tween skincare fans” fast catching up.” #ageism #racism #classicism

Der UN-Menschenrechtsrat machte letzte Woche einen bedeutenden Schritt hin zur Schaffung einer Konvention für die Rechte Älterer.
Warum eine solche #Konvention so wichtig wäre, erklärten unsere Expert*innen Claudia Mahler und Peter Litschke u.a. letzten Sommer im Interview unserer Reihe "Im Fokus".
Einer der Hauptgründe: Eine Konvention würde bestehende Schutzlücken schließen, z.B. im Bereich #Altersdiskriminierung und #Ageism oder bei Regelungen zur #Digitalisierung.

My wife went into the local IT shop for a laptop. The bearded youth (BY) came to the counter to serve her.
BY: Can i help you?
Her: I'm after a laptop.
BY: New or refurbished?
Her: Refurb will do.
BY: We have several. What sort of things will you be using it for?
Her: A bit of family history, emails and gaming.
BY: You will only need a basic one to play Solitaire.
Her: (cold Paddington Bear stare while she contemplated removing his kidneys with a blunt spoon) One with a separate graphics card, i5 at least and 32 GB RAM if you have it please.
She was fuming all the way home. I suggested that she should have challenged him to a play off on Lego Harry Potter (her current favourite on PS).

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were e...

Warum triffst du eine derartig höhnische, falsche und den Inhalt dieses Artikels nicht treffende Aussage? Um gegen ältere Menschen zu hetzen? #Ageism
#Altersdiskriminierung wird häufig übersehen, selbst im Vergleich zu anderen Formen der Benachteiligung. Eine neue Umfrage der Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes gibt Einblicke in ihre Ausprägungen. #ageism #rente https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1190049.antidiskriminierungsstelle-des-bundes-altersdiskriminierung-auf-dem-vormarsch.html

If the #DOJ wins, as many experts predict it will, the entire executive branch would come under #Trump’s direct control, allowing him even greater power over federal policy, & leaving virtually no barriers to his #MassFirings of civil servants in favor of political stooges.
