You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.

Ramzpaul said on his Twitter livestream last night, that the US is basically a spiritually-jewish country at this point, devoid of any shred of honor. He also said that he believes Trump doesn’t hold any real authority and that Lindsey Graham makes all the decisions and is of course subservient to Benjamin Netanyahu.
Part of the issue is that Jewish influence through Kabbalism has been intertwined into Western culture for centuries, to the point where Spengler described our whole civilization as "Faustian." There is still plenty of good in Western Civilization, but it's also true there is no totally pure and Jew-free version of it. The reality is that the good and evil are destined to coexist until the end of days, even as we are bound to fight to contain the evil and uphold the good. Judeo-Christianity is real in this sense, even if the ridiculous meme variant claiming them as natural allies is clearly false.

If a military uses an AI model to choose targets, and as a result civilians are killed, i.e. the AI says a hospital is a legitimate target. Who's is liable for those deaths? Is it the officer who gives the order to follow what the AI says? The coder who created the AI?
Where does the responsibility lay ?
responsible are the people who allow or even order others to use A.I. to choose targets

Influencers, consultants, and media companies have filed lawsuits against the Israeli government, claiming that they were not fully compensated for work promoting pro-Israel messaging online during the war in #Gaza. The legal claims involve millions of shekels in payments that plaintiffs say were promised but never delivered.
According to the lawsuits, some individuals were reportedly offered payments of up to $7,000 per social media post as part of a campaign aimed at shaping international opinion. One company claims that the state still owes around 1.7 million shekels, while another firm says it is owed roughly 600,000 shekels for operating a media studio and managing related communications activities.
Court filings also allege that contractors covered significant expenses, including travel, production, and digital campaign operations. One lawsuit states that the government ultimately “refused to settle its debts,” leaving companies and #influencers seeking compensation through legal action.

Ah oui, je sais, c'est ce qu'on dit quand le conclave est fini, tout ça :
My exams are over, finally! But one thing I've learnt with exams is, you think when the exams are actually going on, dude let these get over, I'll chilll out! But when they get over, you've got nothing to do. Same is the case with me. I'm an avid reader of books, and thriller, crime, and survival books are my choice. Anyone knows some good books in these genres? I've read some really cool ones, the hunger games, the hatchit series, I am still alive, breakout, The raft, 96 miles and no exit are some examples.
One thing about exams though is when you're done, sometimes you end up wiped out. And you really don't have much energy left

Via JM Corhay
L’analyste militaire brésilienne Patricia #MARINS livre un bref diagnostic de la situation. Il est toujours intéressant de consulter d’autres sources d’information que celles qui alimentent l'affligeant "débat" franco-français.
"Les #États-Unis et #Israël semblent ne pas comprendre la nature de la guerre qu’ils mènent.
L’Iran conduit une guerre asymétrique remarquablement efficace : il encaisse les frappes, neutralise progressivement les bases militaires environnantes, détruit des radars et maintient le contrôle du détroit d’ #Ormuz, tout en conservant sa capacité de lancement de missiles.
Et cela alors même qu’il a perdu relativement peu de ses forces navales, de son aviation ou de son arsenal global - ce que l’on peut vérifier assez facilement à partir des preuves visuelles disponibles.
Les États-Unis et Israël se retrouvent dans une situation particulièrement délicate, car ils sont habitués à un seul mode de guerre : la destruction massive par la puissance de feu. Ils se trouvent désormais face à un Iran solidement positionné sur le plan stratégique et qui mène la guerre selon ses propres conditions et son propre calendrier.
Quelle est la stratégie iranienne ? Miser sur la résilience face aux bombardements et conserver l’essentiel de son arsenal dans de vastes installations souterraines, que les États-Unis et Israël tentent de percer au prix de quantités considérables de munitions.
Une chose mérite d’être soulignée : jusqu’à présent, l’Iran n’a montré qu’une fraction de ses capacités militaires. Il dispose notamment de plus de vingt modèles de drones navals qui n’ont même pas encore été déployés.
Washington et ses alliés ont manifestement sous-estimé l’Iran. Dans le domaine des missiles et des drones, le pays fait aujourd’hui partie des leaders mondiaux, aux côtés de la Russie et de la Chine.
Les décisions prises à Washington ont été d’une grande imprudence. En politique, il arrive que l’on puisse agir de manière inconsidérée sans en subir immédiatement les conséquences ; dans une guerre, cela ne fonctionne pas.
Tout cela s’inscrit dans une stratégie soigneusement construite qui vise, notamment à travers les mécanismes du marché mondial, à affaiblir les États-Unis plutôt que l’Iran.
Les chiffres diffusés par le CENTCOM et largement repris dans le débat public américain relèvent pour une large part de la communication de guerre. Ils ne changent en rien la réalité du terrain et ne contribuent pas davantage à affaiblir l’Iran.
L’expérience d’autres guerres asymétriques perdues par les États-Unis montre que l’on y a employé des volumes de bombes des dizaines de fois supérieurs à ceux utilisés contre l’Iran. Comme cela a déjà été souligné, ces conflits ont été peu étudiés - et il en va de même pour la guerre en Ukraine, où près de 200 000 tonnes de missiles, de bombes et de drones ont déjà été utilisées sans atteindre un résultat tangible. Le problème ne se résume donc pas à une question de bombardements.
L’Iran semble déterminé à poursuivre la guerre, ce qui crée une difficulté majeure pour Washington. Les États-Unis doivent désormais composer avec la réaction des marchés mondiaux, la pression des pays du Golfe, les tensions politiques internes, les risques inflationnistes, ainsi qu’avec la complexité croissante de leurs relations avec la Chine et la Russie.
En définitive, ce conflit oppose deux logiques très différentes : d’un côté la puissance de feu brute, de l’autre une stratégie patiemment élaborée.

L' #Iran détruit dix #radars #US dans la région et affirme qu'il décidera de la fin de la guerre
French Presstv
Les forces militaires iraniennes sont parvenues jusqu'à présent à détruire dix systèmes radar américains de pointe dans la région du golfe Persique, affirme le Corps des gardiens de la Révolution islamique ( #CGRI ), soulignant que c'est #Téhéran, et non #Washington, qui détermine l'issue de la guerre actuelle.
Le porte-parole du Corps des gardiens de la Révolution islamique (CGRI), le général de brigade Ali Mohammad Naïni, a fait ces remarques mardi, dix jours après qu'une coalition militaire américano-israélienne a lancé une guerre d'agression non provoquée contre la République islamique d'Iran.
S'adressant aux autorités américaines, il a ajouté : « Nous savons que vos stocks de munitions s'épuisent et que vous cherchez désespérément une issue à la guerre qui vous sauverait la face. Pourquoi ne dites-vous pas la vérité au peuple américain ? »
« Le président américain Donald Trump ne veut pas que le peuple américain réalise que toute l'infrastructure militaire américaine dans la région du golfe Persique a été éliminée ; que près de 10 systèmes radar américains de pointe dans la région et un grand nombre de vos drones coûteux ont été détruits par les systèmes de défense aérienne iraniens », a ajouté le général de brigade Naïni.
Il a par ailleurs souligné que Trump était devenu « complètement désorienté et frustré » par les multiples vagues de l'opération Vraie promesse 4 lancées par l'Iran, via les unités navales et aérospatiales du Corps des gardiens de la Révolution islamique.
« L’avenir de la région et son sort sont désormais entre les mains des forces armées iraniennes », a souligné le porte-parole du CGRI, insistant sur le fait que « ce ne sont pas les forces américaines qui déterminent la fin de la guerre ».
Soulignant que « nous sommes parfaitement capables d’étendre la guerre », le général de brigade Naïni a insisté sur le fait que « la sécurité sera pour tous, et l’insécurité aussi. C’est nous qui déterminons la fin de la guerre ».
Naïni a ajouté que le président américain, qu'il a qualifié de « menteur », dans une tentative désespérée de tromper l'opinion publique après les « défaites honteuses » de la guerre, a prétendu que la puissance militaire iranienne aurait soi-disant pris fin.
Trump a menti effrontément en affirmant que les tirs de missiles iraniens avaient fortement diminué. Mais en réalité, l'Iran est encore plus puissant qu'au début de la guerre et cible des bases américaines et israéliennes avec des ogives de plus d'une tonne », a souligné le général de brigade Naïni.
Alors que de nombreux analystes estiment que Trump s'est enlisé dans la guerre en cours, il a affirmé lundi que le conflit ne serait qu'une « excursion de courte durée ».
Le 28 février, les États-Unis et Israël ont lancé une nouvelle série d'agressions militaires illégales contre l'Iran, environ huit mois après avoir mené des attaques non provoquées contre le pays et ses installations nucléaires.
Ces attaques ont entraîné la mort en martyr du Leader de la Révolution islamique, l'Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, et de centaines de civils iraniens, dont des femmes et des enfants, ainsi que de commandants militaires.
Les opérations de représailles iraniennes ont ciblé avec succès de nombreux sites dans les territoires occupés par Israël ainsi que des bases militaires américaines dans plusieurs pays voisins de l'Iran.

Καλημέρα,
Σε παρακαλώ, είμαι πολύ στεναχωρημένη γιατί έκλεισες τον λογαριασμό της Emma.
Η Emma είναι η μόνη που στάθηκε δίπλα στη μητέρα μου και μας βοήθησε πολύ.
Η μητέρα μου είναι σχεδόν 90 χρονών, τυφλή και έχει πάθει εγκεφαλικό και χρειάζεται επίσης εγχείρηση καρδιάς.
Σε παρακαλώ, δείξε κατανόηση και καλοσύνη. Η μητέρα μου είναι σαν τη δική σου μητέρα. Ελπίζω να μπορέσεις να μας καταλάβεις και να δείξεις λίγη συμπόνια.
I am in contact with Emma now on WhatsApp. She told me that from now on she will only mention people who already follow her. Please understand my mother’s suffering. Emma was helping to promote my mother’s campaign, and my mother’s campaign is verified. I kindly ask you to please lift the ban on her. She will not mention anyone who does not follow her — only people she knows. Thank you for your support for my mother’s cause.

Amazon drops Paris Book Festival sponsorship after boycott threatFrench booksellers threatened a boycott, accusing Amazon of flooding the market with AI-generated books.

Broader criticism of Amazon’s corporate practices
The festival dispute is part of a wider pattern of backlash against Amazon over political and ethical controversies. In October 2025, Amazon terminated Palestinian software engineer Ahmed Shahrour after he protested the company’s Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli government. Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud-computing and AI initiative, provides services for Israeli government and military operations, including AI-driven intelligence and data processing systems used in occupied Palestine.
Shahrour’s activism emphasized that the project involves AI tools that support military decision-making, surveillance, and potentially targeting operations. His dismissal sparked international criticism, highlighting concerns about corporate complicity in human rights violations through the use of advanced AI technology. Employee coalitions and activists condemned the firing as part of a broader pattern of silencing voices challenging Amazon’s role in ethically controversial AI applications.

Random thought.
If public libraries didn't already exist, capitalism wouldn't let you invent it. Can you imagine how many billions Jeff Bezos would plough into fighting the idea, destroying any politician who dared to back it?
Support your local library.
The government-funded public library in my Australian suburb exists only because there was a Communist Party-funded public library.
So there's one answer 😀
To be fair, liberal monopoly capitalism needs controlled (and often shitty) opposition. Think mozilla, amd, chromeos/macOS. These are all de facto monopolies but dont have only one company. Public libraries, state owned infrastructure in a semi ruined state keeps the veneer of freedom alive.

A core tenet of enshittification: all the terrible stuff we're subjected to in our digital lives today is the result of foreseeable (and foreseen) policy choices, which created the enshittogenic policy environment in which the worst people's worst ideas make the most money:pluralistic.net/2025/09/10/say…

Ben-Gvir expands gun licences to Jewish residents across Jerusalem
Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced that residents of all Jewish neighbourhoods in Jerusalem will now be eligible to obtain gun licences based solely on their place of residence.
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the decision will allow around 300,000 additional Jewish residents of Jerusalem to apply for licences to carry firearms.
Previously, gun licences were generally granted to residents of settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, but the new policy expands eligibility to a much wider segment of the city’s Jewish population.
The move means that tens of thousands of residents, including members of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community, may now obtain licences even if they have limited experience with firearms. Many Haredim do not serve in the Israeli military, where weapons training typically occurs.
Ben-Gvir encouraged residents to apply for gun licences, stating that civilian access to weapons “saves lives, especially during wartime and Ramadan.”

March 10, 2026 @ 13:11 (!) Good afternoon family & friends❣️ Cloudy and cooler outside today, with an expected high in the mid-40s. Pete is at an appointment and when he returns I have a couple of places to go. One of them involves a solution to my phone situation that will renew my texting number to me long enough to get it ported out to another company - and I sincerely and heartily thank the company I've been using for coming up with the solution! So I'm pretty happy about that. Meanwhile, until Pete gets back, I will be working on the piece I plan to share for Wednesday Worship. At some point I will also go meme hunting so I can put a Tuesday Titters post up today. So all of that will keep me busy. Anyway, I hope your Tuesday is terrific, and I will see you later❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜

I took about the same time to do it on my N900 with PyGTK a decade ago (it was a very simple REST API), but I don't have any Nextbike stations nearby anymore and haven't used it for several years now...

**John Bolton, ancien conseiller à la sécurité nationale de Trump et homme politique, a déclaré :
« Si les choses tournent mal, je peux vous garantir que Trump blâmera Netanyahu ; car dans le monde "gagnant-perdant" de Trump, il est un gagnant, pas un perdant. »
Par conséquent, si l'opération contre l'Iran se solde par un échec, ce sera inévitablement la faute de quelqu'un d'autre.**
When I started in security, one of the prevailing attitudes was "The weakest link in the chain will always be the human."
I would like to thank every LLM provider and startup for changing this paradigm by introducing a much weaker link in the chain.

10 March 1934 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Carla Bromet, was born in The Hague.
On 26 February 1944 she was deported from Westerbork to the Theresienstadt ghetto. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 6 October 1944 in a transport of 1,500 Jews. She was murdered in a gas chamber.

I have that very same doll downstairs that belonged to my mom, from roughly the same time. Children were killed for no reason. It's disgusting.
A while back Sis1 wrote on Facebook that immigrants moving into your country & "gaining power over you" is a curse from God.
I find that interesting because I think it reveals that she's thinking like a settler, whether she knows it or not.
She's seeing the world from the perspective of subjugation, where the individual settler's role is (in part) to take up space & make life difficult for the people who were there already.
That "gaining power over us" thing is what sticks in my mind. When I mentioned it to my mom she picked out that phrase & asked "what does that even mean?"
I think Sis1 sees an immigrant & essentially thinks "UGH. They are here to squat on our land & push us out."
That's quite the fucking assumption, but it lines up with how the US presents its "immigrant" past. If European settlers killing & driving out indigenous people or forcing assimilation are "immigrants", then immigrants are dangerous.
It's not just racism. It's subscribing to the idea that homogeneity is the only safety & believing that the only way for people of different groups to live together is if one group dominates the others & takes everything for themselves.
It's a belief that the only reason people move to a place other than where they were born is to stake their claim & grab as much as they can. It's the belief that everyone must always be thinking about hierarchy & dominance, because everyone thinks the same way.
@faithisleaping
Same old projection.
They want to do all these terrible things to us because that's what everyone wants obviously so we gotta do it to them first.
This mindset is so closed off, so tiny, that it doesn't even occur to them to ask whether other people think in the same terms they do & have the same priorities & goals.
It's yet another colonizer imposition: trying to make their belief everyone's reality, insisting that the only "real" people in the world think, act, (& ideally look) exactly like them.
a god that never existed there until settlers, colonists and freebooters brought it......
