Was die #Islamisten den #Jesiden im #Irak angetan haben, war viel schlimmer als das, was im #Gazastreifen geschah.


Ältere Frauen werden #lebendig #begraben, weil sie zu alt sind, um als #Sexsklavinnen zu arbeiten.
#Mütter werden gezwungen, ihre eigenen #Babys zu essen.
Junge #Mädchen wurden in #Eisenkäfige gesperrt und verbrannt.
Doch kein einziger Protest! Alle, die jetzt für #Gaza protestieren, waren völlig still. Warum?
Anders als die Menschen im Gazastreifen haben die #Jesiden nie einen #Krieg begonnen!

Very sad to see that Diogo Jota died... A great footballer.

Also yesterday Muhannad al-Lili, a Palestinian footballer, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza.

Of course, Jota is on the front page of every newspaper. Al-Lili is not visible on any UK newspapers at all.

L’union ? Quelle union ?, par Frédéric Lordon (Les blogs du Diplo, 30 juin 2025)


#politique #trahison

C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.

So apparently this professor did not write his own tests but used tests provided by a company in effect cheating the academic process

For all we know this professor could not get the correct answer on his own

He then lectures the students for cheating for getting a hold of the same answer key that he cheated to get

Qué mal lo de eliminar el arbolado en las ciudades. No hay que tener muchas luces para saber que es el mejor mecanismo para reducir las temperaturas. Solo hay que darse cuenta del frescor que se nota cuando vas caminando por una zona de asfalto y hormigón y de repente te metes una zona con vegetación y árboles.

Pero esta gente que legisla desde sus despachos climatizados y vuelve a su chalet en coche oficial, no experimenta esto, ni intención que tiene.

Sufrir las altas temperaturas en las ciudades también es de currantes y pobres. Los mismos que les votamos.

American democracy is a failed idea. Elected officials voted to literally kill their own constituents, because the $$ said to.

'More than 60 House Republicans represent districts where Medicaid enrollment is higher than the national average."

And the bill they just passed in Congress is the biggest cut to Medicaid in history.

Elected officials voted to *kill* their own constituents.

Simple. Labour has moved to the right not left, ditched its promised policies, and alienated its core support. Starmer, McSweeney and his coterie need to go as soon as possible, or Labour is finished

Si, es la forma mas barata que se me ha ocurrido de "agilizar" el pc. He comprado varios modulos de RAM DDR3 en Ali, estan muy baratos.
Este es el segundo pc que consigo de la empresa donde curro y que los esta sustituyendo al no ser compatibles con W11.
Si consigo mas pcs les pondré un modulo de 8 GB y se quedarían con 16GB en total, que para mover Linux es mas que suficiente. En principio se los voy a donar a gente del pueblo de mis padres que no tienen ordenador y enseñarles lo basico para moverse en Linux y navegar por internet.
A este le he puesto 32GB pq me lo voy a quedar yo y queria empezar a usar maquinas virtuales.
La configuracion base de estos pcs de la empresa es 8GB de RAM+disco mecanico 1TB+ disco ssd de 120 GB

So when I went to Canada a month ago it felt like we were on the brink of WW3 but now I'm back and in Washington DC to do some production stuff for 4th of July and aside from heavily opinionated stickers on lamp posts, everything seems... fine? People are talking about some kind of bill that got a validation stamp. I'm not sure what it's about though. Maybe I should turn on the news.

I've been encountering a lot of vocally religious people recently and it's catching me off guard because in my brain, any version of "god" is synonymous with "the tooth fairy" so I'm standing there perplexed why an adult is talking to me about how they're basking in the tooth fairy's love and how the tooth fairy is the ultimate power in the universe and how even me not believing in the tooth fairy is all part of the tooth fairy's plan for my character arc. As for me, I can neither confirm nor deny that the tooth fairy exists. I just simply accept that certain things are unknowable and while lore to explain it all is certainly interesting, I will never consider it historical fact.

Tomorrow is July 4th in America. Should you celebrate? You can celebrate that we once took down a tyrant, and that we should do it again, yes. Meanwhile, here is James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass’ speech about the 4th of July. youtube.com/watch?v=O0baE_CtU0…

The rise of fascism is a boon for tech oligarchs, who bet their future on forever wars and AI-powered, police-state surveillance. The billionaire nerds are now selling killing people with the same zeal they sold iPads.

Some people talk about minimizing social media time and the associated doomscrolling, but every day Mastodon reminds me of how many kind, caring people there are. And how many I'm privileged to know on here. (And how many have adorable cats. Or dogs. Or goats.) People who appreciate the beauty around us; people who want to save the environment; people who want a good life for everyone.

It lifts me up, even when the news is horrific. Thank you all.

Feeling overwhelmed, like the worst of us make the rules for the rest of us? Like empathy feels like a curse right now? It just hurts, and you feel helpless?

You are worth fighting for. Sometimes winning doesn't look glamorous, it just looks like not giving up. Care for yourself, for the ones you love, being strong and feeling strong are not the same thing, just don't quit. I love you all, I'm sorry it's hard, but we need each other, community is essential.
