I actually LIKED that Regis didn’t have as much of a menacing presence as the other principals. Because he technically isn’t! He’s a janitor, he usurped the real principal. It sort of felt like he was scrambling around the school trying to get his plans in motion, like he was floundering in the best way possible. It genuinely felt interesting how… disjointed the schools operations felt! Especially at the point in the story we’re in where we’re sorta breaking down the elementary school operations one by one

We weren’t MEANT to be getting all these kids shuffled around and lab’s destroyed. It’s only been 2 days of the week, and we’re working so very fast. Regis was just one of the people trying to pick up the pieces, especially with all the mentions of losing his job. This is his job he’s just some kind of lackey who wants to feel big

I was gunna do this for all three but I lost motivation

Imagine it being like this thing from Clocktower

physically i feel like i've experienced exhaustion going at least 75 on a side road while i was just chilling and standing next to my own mailbox when it hit me with its stupid 2025 ford f150 But at least my eyeballs aren't itchy :)

ahh the art of politely saying "the other office is going to try and make us carry the brunt of the work and we cannot let them do that because this is their goddamn file and has been for almost a year now and if they don't know it that is their problem however we can provide technical support/knowledge on the key issues if they need us to but christ alive this better not slide onto our plate. Slippage Has Happened Historically. I will NOT allow it to while we are severely understaffed with me being the only person present with any history on the file which means I would be doing it"

I rewrote my "OH NO OH NO IT'S A TRAP" email to my manager like ten times.

Put my little greasy Grima-the-civil-servant hat on. The amount of "a just question my liege" that I do I swear

also Grima's "I told you to take the wizard's staff" frustration when dealing with people who literally didn't do the One (1) thing you asked of them - so fucking relatable

[hibernating-stag]

Goodnight for now, I'm gonna keep looking into this damn bill tomorrow-

My hot take is that people advocating for 4-day work weeks are leaving a vast majority of workers out of there plans, especially workers who are on hourly wage. Lowering work expectations is a good idea, yeah. But that has to come AFTER they increase min wage. Because for many? Having their hours cut is a death sentence, and there's a lot of people who refuse to acknowledge that.

this is actually something ive been thinking about a lot lately! yeah i understand the excitement when we hear about businesses trying out a shortened workday or workweek or whatever and i think its fine to like. derive a little precious hope from that. but even in the places where these shortened workweeks already exist, you gotta think abt who actually gets to benefit from them.

imo its kinda like. im so so grateful for weekends, for federal holidays, for overtime and holiday pay, but especially because p much all of the jobs i worked before my current one didnt offer any of those!! i think its possible to support the fight for better work conditions while acknowledging that its very probable only a small percentage of workers will actually reap the benefits until we've successfully implemented a universal basic income at the very least.

Watching you suffer and bail on this is SO validating actually. I remember in high school we used to do a "women's day" where we'd sit in circles and they'd get us to tell personal stories that were uncomfortable and talk about how hard being a teenage girl was and tell each other affirmations and after the first year I BEGGED my mum to let me skip off of this fake vulnerability and manufactured closeness and she let me thank god.

I'm sorry you have to go through this, but I am begging you to be "vulnerable and brave" and "live your truth" and "make space for honesty" in your evaluation. Please, for the haters in all of us.

oh my goddd this is only semi-related but your description of women's day (gag) is giving me flashbacks to youth group where we'd be divided into groups of four or five teenage girls to talk about our Struggles in Faith. i just remember this one popular girl named jessica was always like 'SIGHHH my struggle is that i am so Pursued by Potential Boyfriends' and then would tearfully allude to her difficulties in Refraining from Premarital Sex. i mean in retrospect she probably WAS having complicated teen girl experiences around sexuality and navigating relationships with men. but at the time i was like eyeroll eyeroll we get it you're oppressed by your own hotness & desirability. god gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers

idk if people on tumblr know about this but a cybersecurity software called crowdstrike just did what is probably the single biggest fuck up in any sector in the past 10 years. it's monumentally bad. literally the most horror-inducing nightmare scenario for a tech company.

some info, crowdstrike is essentially an antivirus software for enterprises. which means normal laypeople cant really get it, they're for businesses and organisations and important stuff.

so, on a friday evening (it of course wasnt friday everywhere but it was friday evening in oceania which is where it first started causing damage due to europe and na being asleep), crowdstrike pushed out an update to their windows users that caused a bug.

before i get into what the bug is, know that friday evening is the worst possible time to do this because people are going home. the weekend is starting. offices dont have people in them. this is just one of many perfectly placed failures in the rube goldburg machine of crowdstrike. there's a reason friday is called 'dont push to live friday' or more to the point 'dont fuck it up friday'

so, at 3pm at friday, an update comes rolling into crowdstrike users which is automatically implemented. this update immediately causes the computer to blue screen of death. very very bad. but it's not simply a 'you need to restart' crash, because the computer then gets stuck into a boot loop.

this is the worst possible thing because, in a boot loop state, a computer is never really able to get to a point where it can do anything. like download a fix. so there is nothing crowdstrike can do to remedy this death update anymore. it is now left to the end users.

it was pretty quickly identified what the problem was. you had to boot it in safe mode, and a very small file needed to be deleted. or you could just rename crowdstrike to something else so windows never attempts to use it.

it's a fairly easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that it is effecting enterprises. which can have a looooot of computers. in many different locations. so an IT person would need to manually fix hundreds of computers, sometimes in whole other cities and perhaps even other countries if theyre big enough.

another fuck up crowdstrike did was they did not stagger the update, so they could catch any mistakes before they wrecked havoc. (and also how how HOW do you not catch this before deploying it. this isn't a code oopsie this is a complete failure of quality ensurance that probably permeates the whole company to not realise their update was an instant kill). they rolled it out to everyone of their clients in the world at the same time.

and this seems pretty hilarious on the surface. i was havin a good chuckle as eftpos went down in the store i was working at, chaos was definitely ensuring lmao. im in aus, and banking was literally down nationwide.

but then you start hearing about the entire country's planes being grounded because the airport's computers are bricked. and hospitals having no computers anymore. emergency call centres crashing. and you realised that, wow. crowdstrike just killed people probably. this is literally the worst thing possible for a company like this to do.

crowdstrike was kinda on the come up too, they were starting to become a big name in the tech world as a new face. but that has definitely vanished now. to fuck up at this many places, is almost extremely impressive. its hard to even think of a comparable fuckup.

a friday evening simultaneous rollout boot loop is a phrase that haunts IT people in their darkest hours. it's the monster that drags people down into the swamp. it's the big bag in the horror movie. it's the end of the road. and for crowdstrike, that reaper of souls just knocked on their doorstep.

Mokhiber's resignation letter haunts me. If anyone hasn't read it you can do so here. Nearly ten months ago, and the sentence still without exaggeration brings me to tears:

I also worked in these halls through the genocides against the Tutsis, Bosnian Muslims, the Yazidi, and the Rohingya. In each case, when the dust settled on the horrors that had been perpetrated against defenseless civilian populations, it became painfully clear that we had failed in our duty to meet the imperatives of prevention of mass atrocites[sic], of protection of the vulnerable, and of accountability for perpetrators. And so it has been with successive waves of murder and persecution against the Palestinians throughout the entire life of the UN. High Commissioner, we are failing again.

This is a man who in the first three weeks of seeing the response and failed response from the hegemonic international community could not partake in the structures which, through discursive democratic structures (and of course veto power), continued to blockade at every turn meaningful aid or support to Palestinians, or meaningful resistance and condemnation of the Israeli response.

This is meaningful, and I don't want to understate that fact. This is an advisory opinion, which means that it's non-binding, but it does offer legitimacy. Specifically following the responses to the interim ruling, where the ICJ stated that there was a plausible case for the possibility of genocide, and people latched onto that, to insist that that means it's not, and if it was as bad as Ukraine, they would have issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu et al. They have now. They have called it apartheid, which is under the UN a separate statute and convention, but which everyone has pointed out is a form of genocide nonetheless. The cases which South Africa et al brought forwards were largely resting on this question: Is apartheid only a crime when it happens in Africa? Do you not consider apartheid a crime when the rest of the world does it? Do you consider non-African nations to be immune to committing apartheid? Will you apply the Convention on [...] the Crime of Apartheid to the rest of the world?

The answer now is that non-African nations absolutely are capable of creating apartheid states. That under the genocide convention and the rome statute aiding and abetting genocide is a crime.

But I think about Craig Mokhiber, and I wonder if this is a victory. The sentence rings in my mind: High Commissioner, we are failing again.

What does it mean? What success does this bring? When the highest possible outcome for the time being is a non-binding advisory opinion, which took ten months to be reached--is that a victory? A death toll presently in the tens of thousands, estimated to reach nearly 200,000 with famine, disease, and exposure?

The Bosnian War and Ethnic Cleansing was preceded by violence through 1990 and 1991, but is pinned as having started in about April 1992. On 18th December 1992 the UN General Assembly ruled ethnic cleansing to be a crime of genocide.

The application of the Genocide Convention by the ICJ was invoked by Bosnia & Herzegovina on the 20th March 1993, and received a provisional recommendation on the 8th April.

They requested further provisional measures on 27th July 1993 and received a response on 13th September 1993.

It took until 1994 for the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia to issue any indictments or arrest warrants, and the first trial began on 23rd February 1995.

The Bosnian War didn't end until 14th December 1995.

The ICJ didn't make a final Judgement until 26th January 2007, and the ICC didn't make its final ruling until 2017, at which point the ICTY was finally dissolved.

This is what Mokhiber wrote about. This is the process of the "dust settl[ing]" to expose the UN's failure to their "duty to meet the imperatives of prevention of mass atrocites,[sic] of protection of the vulnerable, and of accountability for perpetrators"--the ICJ is responsive rather than proactive; the UN as a whole is.

High Commissioner, we are failing again.

This ruling is a case which was brought to the ICJ in 2022, separate from the one which South Africa is spearheading right now.

I started writing this quite pessimistically. I still don't feel great. But in writing all of this, I do feel things are changing. Not in a material way at the moment--the UN is still responsive rather than proactive, still held in a chokehold by the veto powers.

But the creation of the Rome Statute was largely in response to the specific outcomes of the criminal tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (which I did not speak of here as I'm more familiar with Yugoslavia and for that I apologize because there's a lot of nuance and followup detail I'm missing), creating the ICC as a legitimate body. So much of what took so long with the trials with former Yugoslavia was that Yugoslavia kept filing with the ICJ about this falling out of the ICJ's jurisdiction, kept using this to hold up the cases. With the ICC in existence, that is helping to expedite the process now.

(Of course, that is a very linear view of things: it fails to address the sheer scale of mass atrocity it took to reach this point, and it treats the judicial process of Israel and Palestine as another step in the road to a Successful Justice System rather than a tragedy in itself, following in the footsteps of Bosnia and Rwanda.

High Commissioner, we are failing again.

We can say that it takes failure to create success but "failure" is a terrible word for "multiple genocides".)

Importantly, this ruling establishes the right to return, which is absolutely huge. It recommends removing the West Bank Barrier.

It is a failure and the furthest success had in international court so far, which is its own indictment. And yet--the previous provisional measures demanded Israel withdraw, which they have failed to do so. The USA has explicitly said it considers the charges against Netanyahu to be illegitimate.

The NFP in France has pledged arms embargo against Israel and recognition of Palestine as a state. Will they uphold this? Will they push for sanctions against other EU and UN states who continue to support Israel? It is beyond upsetting that it apparently does not matter if the majority of the world continues to support Palestinian liberation, or at least that it does not until a developed power like France could stand alongside. Will they keep their promise? Who will sanction the USA? Who will follow that from this ruling?

Are we failing again?
