“If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters.”

“This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalised for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade – their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”

"Yeah!" by Usher, featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, is a vibrant party anthem that showcases the infectious energy of early 2000s hip-hop and R&B. With its catchy hooks and dynamic beats, this track continues to resonate with audiences, celebrating the joy of dancing and nightlife.

Lyrics:
Official HD Video for "Yeah!" by Usher feat. Lil Jon & Ludacris
Peace up, A-Town down
Yeah! Okay
Usher (Usher, Usher, Usher, Usher)
Lil Jon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's go

Up in the club with my homies, trying to get a lil' V-I
Keep it down on the low key (low key)
You should know how it feels (hey)
I seen shorty, she was checking up on me
From the game she was spitting in my ear
You would think that she know me (know me)
I decided to chill (okay)

Conversation got heavy (hey)
She had me feeling like she's ready to blow (watch out)
Oh (watch out)
She's saying, come get me (come get me)
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her, I said

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So she's all up in my head now, got me thinking
That it might be a good idea to take her with me
'Cause she's ready to leave (ready to leave now) (let's go)
And I got to keep it real now
'Cause on a one to ten, she's a certified 20
But that just ain't me, hey

'Cause I don't know, if I take that chance
Just where's it gonna lead
But what I do know is the way she dance
Make shorty alright with me
The way she get low
I'm like, yeah, just work that out for me
She asks for one more dance, and I'm like, yeah
How the hell am I supposed to leave?
And I say

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey, hey, Luda)

Watch out, my outfit's ridiculous
In the club looking so conspicuous
And rawr, these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady, I'ma milk the cow (yeah)
And forget about game, I'ma spit the truth (what?)
I won't stop 'til I get 'em in their birthday suit (yeah!)
So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off with their clothes
Then bend over to the front and touch your toes

Left the Jag' and I took the Rolls
If they ain't cutting, then I put em on foot patrol (let's go)
How you like me now?
When my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand
Let's drink, you the one to please (yeah)
Ludacris fill cups like double D's (yeah)
Me and Ursh' once more, and we leaves 'em dead
We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed, that say

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Take that and rewind it back
Lil Jon got the beat that make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Usher got the voice make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Ludacris got the flow to make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Lil Jon got the beat that make your booty go

"Heiliger Bimbam, ist das ein guter Roman!"

Weil Rosemary Kirstein unzufrieden damit war, wie der Verlag mit ihren Büchern umging (Spoiler auf dem Einband!!), hat sie die Rechte zurückgeholt. Im Selbstverlag hat sie sie neu veröffentlicht.

@pluralistic ist ein großer Fan von "The Steerswoman":

"Dieses Buch ist ein unerwartetes Wunder, ein erstaunlicher Roman mit brillantem Worldbuildung, raffinierten Charakterisierungen, einer packenden Handlung und einem Packen grandioser Wendungen. Die Tatsache, dass eine so bemerkenswerte Geschichte in einer so unscheinbaren Verpackung daherkommt, macht sie noch mehr zu einem Schatz, wie eine Geode: äußerlich unscheinbar, im Innern ein funkelndes Glitzern."

İsrail’in Gazze’ye saldırılarında hayatını kaybedenlerin sayısı, 54 bin 927'ye, yaralıların sayısı da 126 bin 615'e yükseldi. Gazze’de Son 24 saatte 47 kişi katledildi evrensel.net/haber/556718/isra…

The absolute silence from the Madleen crew members’ govts is beyond words, "reflects Israeli impunity."

"If any other state had sent its military forces to seize a small civilian boat carrying 12 unarmed civilians [in international waters], it would immediately be recognised for the act of state piracy that it indisputably is."8

"But for Israel, there’s always an exception.”

in reply to Paul Cantrell

When I say that the protesters were angry but not violent, I guess I should also say this:

In the sick imagination of white supremacy, for a Black or brown person to be angry •is• for them to be violent, by definition.

So when you hear people saying “they were violent,” those people are flat wrong — but they may also be describing something that is in fact completely real and completely consistent in their mind.

Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur with the United Nations, who was speaking with the crew of the Madleen as they were being attacked by Israel in international waters, repeats that:

“Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.”

“Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.”

in reply to Yogthos

Yes, I know, and environment recognition can be done in a more... flexible way, but we need to look at what we call AI.

For example, automatic parking on cars inevitably has an adaptive component, but we can be sure that it won't do anything stupid either (and for example, Tesla chose to go with full machine learning on it, and they gives much worse results than the competition).

Agriculture was already using semi-automated vehicles, notably via very precise GNSS positioning, for example (and besides, I'm not convinced by a tractor without a cockpit, having a supervisor seems to me to be preferable no matter what level of automation you reach, except in some special cases (subways in particular, since they have a very controlled environment, but then you don’t need any kind of AI)).

In short, AI as it is generally referred to today is not relevant here, in my opinion. Then again, maybe it's a completely different type of AI that's relevant in this case, but that's not really the point (and it's been around a lot longer, and most people don’t complain about it).

That said, I interpreted your message as “these new AIs can have a relevant use like here", but perhaps it meant “there are other types of AIs that shouldn't be mixed up with the ones they're trying to sell us everywhere, and which aren't to be thrown away”, in which case we agree and I'm sorry for the off-topic.

Pour Tribune Libre, le 27 mai 2025, Stéphanie Reynaud s’entretient avec le Dr Isabelle Lagny, médecin du travail et auteure du livre « La Pensée Médicale en Action, pour une pratique de la médecine humaniste universelle ».

Extrait du serment d’ #Hippocrate : « Mon premier souci sera de rétablir, de préserver ou de promouvoir la santé dans tous ses éléments, physiques et mentaux, individuels et sociaux. Je respecterai toutes les personnes, leur autonomie et leur volonté, sans aucune discrimination selon leur état ou leurs convictions."

in this age of press acquiescence to state propaganda, please remember that rubber coated bullets are ACTUAL bullets, a powder actuated heavy metal projectile with a "rubber" coating to reduce penetrating trauma and fragmentation *only*. in many cases they will have a higher mass than the equivalent "non coated" munition. and mass x speed something something. you ever been hit in the head with a hammer? do you think it would be less violent if the hammer was coated in plastic?

they're not BBs or squash balls

they're designed to maim with *reduced* lethality

they will still ruin your life, or potentially even end it, even if it takes you weeks or months to succumb

and they will be deployed indiscriminately, and used for punishment and compliance, when realistically they should not be used in any situation where a real bullet would not be "justified" anyway. you can't (legally) shoot people for standing around (yet). but... that's what's happening.

The #Sacred #12 #Names of #Ganesha
The twelve names of Lord Ganesha are a powerful mantra that devotees chant to invoke his blessings. These names are:

Sumukha – The One with a Beautiful Face
Ekadanta – The One-Tusked Lord
Kapila – The Lord of Infinite Color
Gajakarnaka – The Lord with Elephant Ears
Lambodara – The Lord with a Big Belly
Vikata – The Formidable One
Vighnaraja – The Remover of Obstacles
Dhumravarna – The Smoke-Hued Lord
Bhalachandra – The One with the Moon on His Forehead
Vinayaka – The Supreme Leader
Ganapati – The Lord of All Beings
Gajanana – The Elephant-Faced Lord
Reciting these names with devotion aligns the mind, body, and spirit with the divine vibrations of Lord Ganesha, helping devotees overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

Die Faschisierung ist nur möglich, weil die Grundlagen und das Personal der Repression schon vorhanden sind. Genau deswegen ist radikaler Aktivismus rund um die Themen Grenzen, Polizei und Gefängnisse antifaschistische Arbeit. Das sind die Nervenzentren der Faschisierung. [...] Wenn man sagt, »der Staat wird faschistisch«, dann besteht die Gefahr, dass man ausblendet, inwiefern das faschistische Phänomen aus dem bereits bestehenden Staat erwachsen ist. Es besteht die Gefahr, das man das Regime, dem die Faschisierung entspringt, zu dessen Gegenteil oder sogar zu dessen Gegenmittel verklärt. [...]

Der Kapitalismus produziert überschüssige Bevölkerungen und er klassifiziert ganze Gruppen als entbehrlich, minderwertig oder unwürdig. Der Faschismus ist ein bewusstes, gewaltsames Projekt zur Bestätigung und Durchsetzung dieser Strukturen. Man könnte vielleicht sagen, der Kapitalismus ist zwar immer rassistisch, aber es gibt Momente, in denen das Rassistische als affirmatives, politisches Projekt in den Vordergrund tritt. Dort geht es dann nicht mehr nur darum, Hierarchien von Würde, Privilegien und Entbehrlichkeit zu akzeptieren, sondern diese festzuschreiben, herzustellen und ihrer Logik bis zur Auslöschung zu folgen.

"This could be turned off immediately if people put enough pressure on the right governments, the right leaders.

I think, if we don’t turn it off soon, there won’t be a Gaza and there certainly won’t be Palestinians in Gaza."
