Another good option is to used headlines (lines starting with ##) rather than numbered points. :)

I'm impressed you had any left. But indeed, it's even more bleak than I imagined.
Yeah, this is why I find that it doesn't translate so well. The German Klassenkampf is typically translated as class struggle though, so those familiar with Marxism in English will recognize the term, flawed as it is.
It's fascinating how interconnected ideas and language is.
The logic of the slogan is the same for sure. However, I find the word kamp to be important: Rights are something you have or you don't. Emphasizing rights is great and all, but you risk making people believe they only need to support rights rather than to fight for them.
The central point of Marx is that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". In Norwegian socialism the core instinct is to join the class struggle, to strike, protest, and fight the capital in any way possible in order to create better conditions not for yourself, but for those fighting at your side.
Unlike "kamp" I don't find "struggle" to be a particularly powerful word, but I think it's important to use it. This is about a lot more than protecting the rights of women or to grant new ones; it's about fixing a gigantic gaping hole in our culture. It is a struggle, and it will continue to be until the end of history.
In Norway we'd say "kvinnekamp er klassekamp". It's a bit catchier, but more importantly "kvinnekamp" is a more established term than "women's struggle", so I wasn't sure how well it would translate. If it sounds good to native speakers that's of course great!
Somehow it feels like I've been waiting my entire life to see a protest where people are holding signs simply saying "frats are bullshit". Important words.
Love to see it.
The old slogan in Norway is that women's struggle is class struggle. It doesn't translate well, but the sentiment certainly applies to the US. Entitled shitstains like Trump and Kavanaugh have raped and molested their way into positions of power since the beginning of civilization, always enabled by the silence, cowardliness, and collaboration of the men around them. Men need to break the silence and riot against this broken fucking culture not only for the sake of women, but also to avoid being ruled by a class of rapist psychos until the end of days.
I feel like feminism went out of fashion lately. Hopefully this will serve as a wake-up call to get people back on track. We're fucking lost without it.
Yeah, it's a little frustrating that "experiments" like this always use the LLM server as the baseline, giving non-technically minded readers the impression that it has some sort of concept of self-preservation. The blog post shows that these things have no fucking intelligence, but does it in a way where the AI psychosis crowd can still read it and go "oooh, the model will kill us all to save itself!!". No it fucking won't, it just outputs random shit because it is fundamentally not intelligent. It'll only kill us all if some idiot uses it as a baseline for making his decision whether to kill us all.
There are some chord progressions and stuff where they took inspiration from other artists, and they've been reluctant to admit it as it could entail giving up songwriting credit for a song they obviously made themselves.
It's a stupid byproduct of how the music industry has fucked up music. It was always based on borrowing and reimagening the music of others, especially the folk and blues traditions Zeppelin found themselves in.
Guthrie's copyright notice is one of the few respectable ones:
This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do.
Here's a BBC article about the Stairway copyright dispute. And here's the song in question, with the allegedly stolen part starting around 0:45. It's likely that Zeppelin took inspiration, but also it's a completely different and way less interesting piece of music. Great example of how copyright is used to kill art and creativity rather than to protect it.
I am interested by the movie as it reminds me of Doctor Strangelove, but man I fucking cannot stand Tom Cruise.

The crew of the Mikeno, who may have broken the siege of Gaza [UPDATE: Kidnapped by Israel]
(media.piefed.social)
Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.
~~While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:~~

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.
Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689
According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized "all but one" of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

In either case these people are heroes. The person on the right side (their left) top row is the Fediverse's own @Vegard@fribygda.no, who is also the source of this image: https://fribygda.no/@Vegard/115299846437410236

Find a protest near you. Demand action from your representatives.
Update:
It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel "Mikeno" was seized by the Israeli Navy.
The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The "Mikeno" made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

Whenever I go through a slideshow of pictures in a community in tile view, such as !photography@piefed.social, the behaviour is a bit janky for me.
On Firefox in android, swiping right moves one picture at the time, but sliding left (and forwards in the slideshow) sends me through a bunch of pictures making it difficult to navigate.
On Firefox in desktop (Linux) and moving to the right using arrow keys, the picture display slowly drifts to the left: After going through 20 pictures, half the image on display is outside of my screen. With every new picture it moves further to the left.
In both cases the X button moves along.

It seems Murena Maps is coming along nicely in that respect! It has buses and trains, shows live traffic info, is open source, and seems to be working alright.
It's still under development, so it's not perfect, but for public transportation it seems to be pretty great. You need to install Obtanium to try it. The repo is here.
