> Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy.
> According to the Commentary on the First Geneva Convention, examples of acts harmful to the enemy include the use of medical units to shelter able-bodied combatants, to store arms or munitions, as a military observation post or as a shield for military action.
I've heard it said that Israel gives some idea of what Germany might have become, if the Nazis had more time and unstinting support from their allies.

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.
When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

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.

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.

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.
