Comment Maternitus"veteran president" - now that's a political correct way to describe an authoritarian and/or dictator.
Edit: This came to mind.

I like reading newspapers less and less, because I have the idea that AI only is scripted to know "CTRL-C" and "CTRL-V".

8% of the userbase is from the US, which is a lot in people's numbers (165 million downloads to date), but looking at it percentage-wise it is not that hard to overcome an eventual deleting or banning of the US from its' users. Maybe it's a good thing for software developers (and other makers) to just skip the US market at all. Not as a boycott, but as a means of logistics and economics: it saves a lot of time and money not to invest in the US. And it prevents political shenanigans like this one.
4% of the world population is American, which leaves 96% of the world open for adventure and entrepreneurship. :-) -

I don't think we will ever get rid of petrochemicals, a lot of our societies are depending on it too much, as in: besides plastics, the industry makes medicines from oil. And herbicides and pesticides. Not to mention fuels. Looking at the world's pollution, oil and petrochemicals are by far the biggest cause for pollution. We know that for many decades. But yeah, money. And where's money, there's politicians, who enable all the polluting, creating a veneer of quasi-legality, so the industry can say they're doing nothing wrong, although they are responsible for the biggest environmental crimes this earth has ever seen (or endured, so you will).

I love myself a well narrated and filmed documentary, especially when they use a storyline to teach a thing or two. :-) It's a nice distraction from what normally gets hurled at us online. :-)

Predator Bay
There is a place in Africa where two ancient predators come face to face - the shark and the crocodile. Usually worlds apart the two are forced to share the waters of a cozy bay and compete for the same prize. For many of the inhabitants this is a dangerous land. For a young crocodile life is particularly challenging. This is his story - a journey into predator bay.

John Pilger's penetrating documentary which looks at world-wide propaganda surrounding the nuclear arms race. When the two American atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, they were code-named Fat Man and Little Boy, and President Truman announced after the event: "The experiment has been an overwhelming success."

Dammit. After I've smoked some herbs, there's hardly any indication of motion or moving. Let's hope they didn't think about that. ;-P
Of course, a fitting song. ;-)

The difference between the Chinese and the Americans is that the Chinese don't pound their chest loudly when they reach a new level of development. Instead, they just go on developing. I think that is a good attitude and sets an example.

I think that Facebook should shut the f#*k up. Power hungry asswipes. Not a big fan of Apple, but this move is one of their best in years and should be taken up by a lot of hardware/software producers.

Am I the only one who thinks that the plastics-industry is just another petrochemical outlet (like gasoline and diesel are) and we are in the midst of a "compensational crisis", meaning: less and less cars with combustion engines are driven/sold and the amount of drilled oil is so high, with extreme low prices, followed by lowered profits, that overproducing plastics is a viable solution to said losses? With all the, damn well visible and destructive, consequences?
