A Swedish TV host elaf ali made the most disgusting 'joke' about Ukrainian refugee women, saying that because we're blonde and blue-eyed, our presence in her country (which is obviously not hers, according to her name) isn't obvious, apart from brothels. SVT standards?

Hi y'all. I'm not really here in XitLand but wanted to Xcrete a short notice of interest to #memoQ #translation environment users:

Well, folks, it's been a good run, but 'X' marks the exit and I'm going dark until the end of time or the end of the elongated muskrat, whichever comes first. Look for me if you need to on Mastodon or the Translation Tribulations blog. Other toxic social media may follow.

The Parasitic Relationship between Translation and the Platform Economy (I) onesmallwindow.wordpress.com/2023/07/25/the…

'X' marks the platform. I was surprised to see that it still exists. Elongated Muskrat is a moron.

There's five people with far more money than sense, and then there's actual badass hero Pia Klemp, who faces a 20-year prison sentence for helping to rescue more than 1,000 migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. #OceanGate #FreePia

Powerful reminder that we simply cannot trust Big Tech.

A must read.

Not cool, Austrian Airlines: I had to call to change my flight (no chance online or at airport). Agent happily took the EUR 60 w/o informing me I would be on standby! Isn't that an important detail? Turns out I did not make that flight. That's not a great business practice here, agreed?

Not only is there nothing wrong with guiding regeneration of ecosystems, it is essential for brittle ecosystems or they will never regenerate. Desertifying ecosystems continue the progression to desert without managed guidance.

Donald Trump publicly asked the Chinese Communist Party to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, then privately repeated his request at a dinner with Xi Jinping. Forget criminal consequences—that betrayal of America and attempted election fraud wasn’t even *investigated*.

Hunter Biden isn’t an elected official. His crimes are meaningless—at a level of cultural significance equivalent to those of Roger Clinton. What *Trump and men in his government and campaign did* was criminal, historically relevant, and largely (yes, really) went uninvestigated.

Russia has taken another hostage. This time it’s a nuclear plant that, if executed, has the possibility of affecting millions of lives, including NATO citizens. This is why designating Russia a State Sponsor of Terror is a mild step towards countering malign influence.

Jeromobot Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths is OUT NOW As comedian John Oliver says: The British Museum is an active crime scene filled with loot stolen from around the world so why are we surprised?

Many conservatives see Hunter Biden as reflecting badly on President Biden. I don't see that. The president did nothing wrong, and he has shown his love and support for a son wrestling with addictions and their consequences. Millions of Americans can identify with that pain.
