The populated islands are connected. Less frequently, sure, but the Korčula ferries run several times a day to the two towns on the island. Korčula is quite big though (maybe 15,000 people?). It's a wonderful place. Hope you come one day.

Yeah. We just got in from Korčula this morning. We were there for a week. People live on the islands year round. There's fewer of them but they run just fine.

No, it's great. Spring and fall are the time to visit, indeed. Not the summer.

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Shameful. We're the fucking #ICC and #ICJ host state. Spineless beginning to the new government. #IntLaw is not 'lastig'. It's there for a reason. It's there to protect people from being blown up. Shame on you, PM. #Netherlands #Nederland ##Jetten

Maar volgens premier Jetten is het internationaal recht “altijd lastig” en heeft hij begrip voor deze oorlog.

Anyone working in #InternationalJustice should not stop calling for this to be investigated and prosecuted, the same way we do in other contexts. #IntLaw should be upheld for everyone. If Putin, if Netanyahu, then also Trump and co. #Accountability #Justice #UnitedStates #Iran

i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat

but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it

To all my anxious co-travelers, especially those whose anxiety was made more intense by loss, I recommend this book. I recognized myself in it. #Anxiety #Grief #book #AmReading

Ja razumijem da je za programiranje, ili large data sets ili šta ja znam to korisno. Al brate ja hoću čitat. Mislit. Slow science. Meaning. Jebo vas brzina, output, I lijenost. Ako nećeš čitat koji je radiš u akademiji?! I neću isušivati rijeke jer sam lijena sama raditi.

I will never be an AI enthousiast. I understand it may have real benefits to some people. Those 'some people' are not me. Not my classroom. Not my research. My critique is environmental and rooted it ethics and the very purpose of learning. Automation, speed and output is not what I'm after.

Media must stop normalizing the far right Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

This is what happens when you have a military lead by the kind of people who think wars are fought like Call of Duty games.

The gap that's opened up between the military capacity of the United States (unmatched in human history) and its political and diplomatic capacity (none) is frightening

Kod nas je isto situacija blesava. U jednoj kupaonici pomor muha nakon šest mjeseci. U drugoj ništa. Razmak izmedju kupaonica 5 metara. Možda sedam. Ne razumijem.

Visiting our house in Dalmatia is just me going around, screaming 'aaah!' every time there's a fucking unexpected grasshopper in the house. It's the worst when I'm without glasses because I then notice them when only when I'm close. FML. #bug #Dalmatia
