How many times is the word "inclusion" / "inclusive" abused?
When I showed my tactile Rubik's cube around, someone said "it's an inclusive game. Sighted and blind can play".
False. Rubik's cube like chess can be multi-sensory games, not inclusive. It's something different.
You define "inclusive" when everyone, really everyone, can play. Including people with cognitive disabilities. But here, in front of those brain-involving games, it's not for everyone. For the games in question there are even fully sighted who don't manage to succeed playing, so, let's distinguish and tell the truth.
I love both games, I play both of them, but I'm far from calling them "inclusive". The risk is to turn a very specific word, in an umbrella word. Like when someone uses "woke", or whatever else, eliminating the word's real meaning but wanting to create a false enemy with anything they don't approve. #RubiksCube #inclusion #words #language

“These deliveries, promised in August, significantly strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses,” he said, crediting support from Norway for making it possible.

Last night, Russia launched 69 attack drones (Shahed, Geran and others) from multiple directions. Around 40 were Shaheds. By 09:00 Ukrainian air defenses had shot down or suppressed 37 UAVs across northern, southern and eastern regions.

Ukraine’s 46th Airmobile Brigade also released footage how they helped smash a Russian armored column that tried to attack under fog cover. Russians deployed up to 10 armored vehicles and dozens of infantry. Destroyed: 2 tanks, 2 IFVs, 1 MT-LB, 2 ATVs, and hit another armored vehicle and a truck. 49 Russian troops were killed, 5 wounded.


🇩🇪 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “We have made the first decision that Russian assets will remain frozen in Europe for a long time. Neither the Russian Central Bank nor the Russian state will have access to these assets in the near future.”
