Swiss soon have the choice to vote about higher pension plans and higher retirement age next month. At the moment leftist ideas seem to have the upper hand over neoliberal fear-mongering.

As Egypt builds a five-meter-high concrete wall to seal off a five-square-kilometer area along the Gaza border, we cannot help but think of the "no-go zone" on the border of Poland and Belarus, in which thousands of refugees have been enclosed over a period of years, trapped between countries, left to die.

Since 2021, the government of Belarus has used thousands of refugees displaced by wars in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ethiopia, and elsewhere to exert pressure on the European Union. EU governments have left these refugees in limbo between two militarized borders, establishing a restricted zone so that observers cannot see them die.
The majority of the inhabitants of Gaza were already refugees from other parts of Palestine. The world has turned a blind eye to Israeli ethnic cleansing in Gaza. If we permit them to complete that process by forcing the survivors into a containment zone across the Egyptian border, it will set a precedent that will be repeated elsewhere.

Good Idea: Generate fair datasets for AI
https://www.fairlytrained.org/
There is a divide emerging between two types of generative AI companies: those who get the consent of training data providers, and those who don’t, claiming they have no legal obligation to do so.
There are many consumers and companies who would prefer to work with generative AI companies who train on data provided with the consent of its creators.
Fairly Trained exists to make it clear which companies take a more consent-based approach to training, and are therefore treating creators more fairly.

Religion dealing with science is the funniest shit ever: TIL in 2007, Malaysia sent its first astronaut to the ISS. The government and Islamic scholars also wrote that in order to pray, Muslims in space should face Mecca if possible; but if not, they could face the Earth generally, or just face “wherever.” [source, comments]

TIL about Garibaldi, an Italian general who led 1,000 volunteers in the unification of Italy, outnumbered 90 to 1 and commanding just a few stolen tugboats, he managed to land in Sicily, incite the people there to revolt and ultimately destroyed the state of Two Sicilies in less than 2 years.

TIL that the first Japanese person to be sent to space was Toyohiro Akiyama. Known as "The Space Antihero", Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer and spent his time in space craving cigarettes. [source, comments]

TIL Radiohead seventh studio album In Rainbows was released under a pay-what-you-want model, in which fans could pay the price they desired, including downloading the entire album for free. Many customers in turned paid and they gained more profits because of this marketing strategy. [source, comments]
