Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Radicalism, violence... who are the real fascists?


Pierre #Chaillot - May 4, 2025

On the evening of April 24th in Guenrouët, I gave a lecture to present the results of my latest book, "Victims of Covid-19 Vaccines: What the Official Figures Reveal." The parents of Anthony Rio, a young medical intern who died at the age of 24 in March 2021, were present to give their testimony. Anthony died from multiple thromboses following an #AstraZenecca #vaccination. As a reminder, the expert results confirmed that the #vaccine was responsible for Anthony's death. In fact, AstraZenecca was banned in France shortly after his death.

Before the lecture, we discussed with the organizers and Anthony's parents the speed with which news of the knife attack spread through the media. Regarding this death, which is a tragedy for the victims' families, it's undeniable that the entire press immediately reacted, and politicians seized on the case to demonstrate their readiness to respond. On the other hand, we have shown that following Covid vaccines, the excess mortality rate among young people aged 18 to 39 in France over three years is more than 1,000. We can therefore have 1,000 young people dying amidst general indifference and contempt for their families, while bringing out the media arsenal for a case that, while tragic, is rare. The comparison helps us understand the power of the media in shaping people's perceptions.

Just before the start of the conference, a group of five anti-fascists wearing face masks, probably not to protect themselves from viruses, arrived noisily. They had made a large placard, of which my editor and I were the main objects. For clarification, Guenrouët is a charming village of 3,000 inhabitants in the middle of the countryside. The sixty or so people attending the conference, who were on the outskirts of the village, weren't there by chance, and the location is far from busy. The point of demonstrating there to get their ideas across is therefore quite limited. But that wasn't their goal.

“No computers.” the guard said harshly, holding out a metal box.

I put my phone in the box. He didn’t budge. I took off my smart watch and added it in.

“Are you sure you have no more computers? The detector sends out a brief EMP. It would be a shame to destroy any gadgets. Or injure you." He was staring at the side of my face.

Ah. I removed the Connex from my temple. I’d forgotten it was there.

He ushered me into what looked like an old electronic doorway, then pressed a button. A light flashed.

"You're free to enter. Enjoy." No smile.

I passed through a corridor to desk where a receptionist smiled. "First time?"

"Yes, is it obvious?"

"Don't worry. It's simple. Through the double doors there you'll find the main selection of books, by era and topic. It's colour-coded and easy to follow. You'll need these if you want to touch anything." She put a paper mask and thin laboratory gloves on the desk.

"Behind you is the iffy section, as we call it. Books printed after 2015."

"2015?! I thought AI printed books only appeared in the mid 2020s."

"That's probably true, but we can't be sure. Preserving authentic pre-AI knowledge is our raison d'être. We can't be too safe."

Her look turned serious and I saw the devotion to the cause in her eyes. Since the Big Corruption of '32, no digital files could be trusted to replicate original human knowledge. This library was a time capsule.

"Can books be taken out?"

"No, I'm afraid not. We couldn't let them back in, as they could be fakes."

"So, can I copy things? My phone and Connex were taken away. Do you have a camera to message me chapters?"

"No, we're strictly machine-free. but we have several scribes. They're very good." She was enjoying my puzzled look.

"They can copy down whole pages for you. With pen and paper," she answered my unspoken question.

"Pen and paper?" these were words of tales and myths.

"Come, I'll show."

Second session on the #StewMac Ghost Drive kit. Finished with all the resistors on most of the capacitors. Two of them don't match either the printed manual or the latest downloadable manual. I _think_ they're the correct values based on what's printed on the parts. But better to be sure so I sent off an email to support. Once I have that sorted it'll be down to the IC's and the main board will have all the components installed.

My first day I tried using the Weller one that came with the soldering station, with alligator clips and magnifying glass. Was really awkward trying to line up the location on the board I was working on with the glass. And I really had to lean in close for it to be in focus. So then I ordered the visor and the holder pictured here. The visor is a Donegan DA-10 with the 1.75x lens (14" focal length). Much better experience.

G. #Atzmon

If you ever asked yourself why the #Jewish state needs hundreds of #nukes? These are really infective in a local conflict with the indefinite people of the land.
The answer is devastatingly simple. They see themselves as a ‘kosher dingy’ surrounded by a ‘sea of #Goyim’.. the Israeli nukes weren’t made for the Palestinians, not even for the Iranians. Their nukes are pluralist, they don’t differentiate between #Dublin, #Tehran or #Amsterdam (that just called for #EU to stop association with Israel) . In their eyes all dissidents to their Old Testament’s driven barbarism deserve the same fate….

CHÈRE MADAME HAUTE REPRÉSENTANTE DE L'UE POUR LA POLITIQUE ÉTRANGÈRE KAJA KALLASOVA !

Chère Kaja, j'ai pris note à maintes reprises de vos déclarations à mon allocution concernant la visite d'aujourd'hui à Moscou et la réunion notifiée non seulement avec le Président de la Fédération de #Russie V. Poutine. Apparemment, je ne suis pas du bon côté de l' #histoire ou d'autres considérations géopolitiques profondes similaires.

Tout d'abord, je suis à Moscou pour rendre hommage aux plus de 60 000 soldats de l'armée rouge qui sont morts lors de la libération de la #Slovaquie. Je ne comprends pas clairement ce que ces braves personnes ont en commun avec la situation internationale actuelle.

Deuxièmement, en tant que haut fonctionnaire de la Commission européenne, vous n'avez absolument pas le droit de critiquer le Premier ministre souverain d'un pays souverain, qui a une approche constructive de l'agenda européen dans son ensemble.

Troisièmement, je ne suis pas d'accord avec la #politique du nouveau rideau de fer sur lequel vous travaillez si intensivement.

Pour la quatrième fois, je vous demande comment faire la #diplomatie et la politique étrangère si les politiciens ne sont pas censés se rencontrer et avoir un dialogue normal sur des questions sur lesquelles ils ont des opinions différentes.

Votre serviteur

"Terrifying hidden detail in Trump's popular new executive order sparks fears of another pandemic"

Terrifying eh...

"Thomas Renz, a vaccine-skeptic lawyer and supporter of Trump, claims the new policy doesn't end gain-of-function. He says it 'codifies it.'

He told The Daily Pulse: 'They’re going to allow it under new regulations. And by doing that, they’re essentially saying, "We’re fine with gain-of-function as long as it follows the current rules."

'So in that way, they’re actually legitimizing gain-of-function work in this country, which is absolutely mind-blowing to me,' he added."

Kanzler-Krimi: Who stabbed Friedrich Merz in the back and what does it mean?

Tuesday's ballot to crown Merz Chancellor failed in the first round because 18 conspirators among the coalition parties withheld their support. Thoughts on this political mystery.

🚨 BREAKING : Les injections d' #ARNm contre la #COVID-19 détruisent plus de 60 % des réserves d'ovules non renouvelables des femmes
Une nouvelle étude révèle que des rats ayant reçu une injection intramusculaire de doses d'ARNm équivalentes à celles de l'humain ont subi une perte irréversible de follicules primordiaux, fondement de la fertilité. 👇
📍 > 60 % des follicules primordiaux détruits (p < 0,001)
📍 Les niveaux d'AMH ont chuté — l'hormone clé de la fertilité
📍 Augmentation des follicules atrétiques (mourants)
📍 Marqueurs d'inflammation et d'apoptose enrichis (TGF-β1, VEGF, caspase-3)
Cette perte est permanente : les follicules primordiaux ne se régénèrent pas. Si cela s'applique aux humains, cela signifie une #ménopause précoce, une #infertilité et une chute des taux de #natalité.
📉 Manniche et al ont confirmé ce schéma chez l'homme :
Les femmes tchèques vaccinées contre la COVID (18 à 39 ans) ont eu environ 33 % de grossesses réussies en moins que les femmes non vaccinées.
⚠️ Les dommages ovariens se produisent probablement parce que les #nanoparticules lipidiques encapsulant l'ARNm ont une préférence particulière pour les ovaires, selon des études de biodistribution.
Ces données indiquent que nos agences de "santé publique, en conformité avec le complexe biopharmaceutique, ont compromis la capacité de créer de nouvelles vies à travers le monde, en détruisant les réserves ovariennes. Et elles continuent de le faire.

@beardalaxy I think many of the delayed games suck because they were trying to keep up with the industry trends instead of making a good game.

Duke Nukem Forever is probably the best example. The developers wanted it to be on par with the most advanced games at the time because DN3D was released a month before Quake and looked severely outdated because of it. So they were constantly changing engines and starting from scratch.

Though I haven't played or know the development story about any of the games on the right side of the image, so I don't know what happened with those games.

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

The past few months have been among the most violent in the #WestBank, with escalating attacks by #Israel and its #settlers. As a result, we have not had the chance to share until now that our appeal against the ruling in the lawsuit filed by the settler Zvi Bar Yosef has been accepted by the Jerusalem District Court. Links to the original post about Bar Yosef - the subject of the lawsuit - and to our announcement about the appeal are in the comments (please see on X link).

On February 18, #2025, Judge Alexander Ron ruled in our favor, accepting our appeal after the settler, Zvi Bar Yosef, failed to submit a response - even after being granted an extra extension to do so. We do not know what led Bar Yosef to abandon his case at the District Court level, but one can assume he had his reasons.
We would like to thank Attorney Carmel Pomerantz for her dedicated and profesional representation, including during the appeal process.

A big thank you to everyone who stepped up and donated after the Magistrate's Court initially ordered us to pay Bar Yosef 40,000 NIS.

One thing I've had troubles with when trying to implement accessibility is in web dev. There's so many attribute tags and I think a few different software based standards as well? I'm not entirely sure. The documentation on it felt a bit hard to follow and implement. Then I'm not sure how to go about testing it fully either without having those proprietary softwares either. I'm on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it's so and so last time I tried it.

While I slowly figure that out however I make sure to follow tag recommendations and keep things in sections, only one h1 tag per page, descriptive and short alt tags, and so forth. At least that helps a tiny bit.

Web is a bit easier than native since the browsers handle all the platform-specific details across all common platforms, and you mostly just have to follow some guidelines that aren't overly technical or arcane. Some examples:
- Use ARIA roles where appropriate
- Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colours. Should at least meet the WCAG level AA which is a 4.5:1 contrast ratio, but ideally meet AAA which is a 7:1 ratio for body text and a 4.5:1 ratio for headings.
- Ensure you use <label> tags for all your <input>s, alt attributes on all images, title attributes where appropriate (e.g. on <table>s to describe the data contained inside the table), etc.

If you use Firefox, its developer tools have an "Accessibility" tab that can audit for common issues - things like missing labels on checkboxes and radio buttons, colours that don't meet WCAG contrast ratio requirements, etc.

It's a good time to learn more about building accessible sites and apps given it's becoming a legal requirement in some jurisdictions. For example, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) goes into effect later this year, and it mandates that sites and mobile apps for various industries (like ecommerce, airlines and other transport, media streaming, social media, banks, and some others) meet accessibility guidelines.

I’m on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it’s so and so last time I tried it.


It's probably worth spinning up a Windows VM to test in NVDA. It's one of the most popular screen readers and probably the most popular open-source one, but only works on Windows since it deeply hooks into the Microsoft Speech API, accessibility APIs, and and other Windows APIs.


WAI-ARIA Roles - ARIA | MDN

ARIA roles provide semantic meaning to content, allowing screen readers and other tools to present and support interaction with an object in a way that is consistent with user expectations of that type of object.
