See the thing about using open source software is, if Threads or Bluesky had a really annoying bug, I'd just bitch about it on main.
But if Mastodon has a super annoying bug, it's non-zero because I didn't write a GitHub issue for it to make literally anyone else aware of said bug, so I just say nothing.
India arguably won seeing as how it punished Pakistan for the Pahalgam terrorist attack by bombing multiple bases, the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended, and a new military doctrine has entered into effect.Andrew Korybko (Andrew Korybko's Newsletter)

Lenin: Our Programme is based entirely on the scientific, and moreover the materialist, world-outlook. An explanation of our Programme, therefore, necessarily includes an explanation of the true historical and economic roots of the religious fog. Our propaganda necessarily society. No number of pamphlets and no amount of preaching can enlighten the proletariat, if it is not enlightened by its own struggle against the dark forces of capitalism. Unity in this really revolutionary struggle of the oppressed class for the creation of a paradise on earth is more important to us than unity of proletarian opinion on paradise in heaven. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

i guess i have to start pulling apart the front end of this RSX cause it's making a worrisome brroing sound when turning to one side, and braking.
the weird thing is, the CV axle boot isn't torn, so although that is my prime suspect i can't be sure. so i just need to take it apart and inspect the suspension parts one by one
also need to get these brake rotors resurfaced cause they got messed up due to the wheels being bent. slight vibration when braking on highway

Centralization of the means of production and socialization of labor at last reach a point where they become incompatible with their capitalist integument. This integument is burst asunder. The knell of capitalist private property sounds. The expropriators are expropriated. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

From Truth Social:
@realDonaldTrump
For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This is a column I wrote 18 years ago, and it remains every bit as relevant now as it was on the day it was written.
#MothersDay is, to be honest, somewhat of an annoyance. It's manifestly one of those tedious Hallmark holidays wherein everyone is supposed to run out and support the revenue stream of cardboard manufacturers in the name of expressing gratitude to mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone else to whom we might be related.
I imagine it won't be long until Sept. 18 is declared Anonymous Sperm Donor's Day, which will probably be celebrated by giving matching card sets to one's two mommies and lighting a candle for dear old anonymous sperm donor, whoever he might be.
Mothers are not only important, they are absolutely vital due to their position as front-line shock troops in the ongoing, centuries-long struggle for the survival of Western civilization. Despite the fact that their maternal instinct has been harassed, criticized, mocked, belittled and subjected to a 40-year effort to indoctrinate it out of existence, our mothers stubbornly continue doing the only thing we actually need women to do in order for our civilization to survive, bearing and raising children.
We don't need female doctors. We don't need female scientists. We don't need female entrepreneurs. We don't need female producers of PowerPoint presentations. And we really don't need female politicians.
While we can argue about whether such luxuries are beneficial or detrimental to society, there is no arguing the empirical evidence which proves that civilization has survived without them before and could easily do so again.
But without mothers, there is no civilization.
Without mothers, there is no future for the civilized. Europe is in the process of discovering what a world without mothers is like. It is an ugly picture, a brutal picture. It is a probable future that promises to be much worse than the most exaggerated images of past patriarchal oppression ever painted by Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinhem. Without mothers, there is only barbarism and the choice between the brothel and the burqa.
Motherhood is a sacrifice. It may mean putting off a college education and a career, or even giving them up entirely. It may mean sacrificing a flawless figure. It may mean sacrificing dreams. It definitely means putting two, three, four or more lives ahead of your own. But motherhood is also an expression of hope. Motherhood is a vote of confidence in the future of mankind. Motherhood is the brave voice of a woman saying, "I will not live life for today. I will create life for many tomorrows."
Cards, gifts and flowers are no adequate expressions of gratitude for this living statement of faith.
In the ongoing war against Christian civilization, it is the mothers who matter most. The sterile secularists don't fear Christian intellectuals or Christian pastors, they regard the former as petty annoyances and there's little need to worry about one weekly hour of Christian teaching on Sundays overcoming 40 hours of secular reprogramming from Monday to Friday. But they fear our mothers who can create children faster than they can manage to indoctrinate them. And they are downright terrified of our homeschooling mothers who rob them of their primary means of creating a new generation of secular barbarians.
Every time a woman says "I do," every time a wife turns to her husband and says "let's have another baby," every time a mother hugs her child and says "how would you like me to be your teacher?" she is striking a powerful blow in defense of her faith, her family, her church and God. We should celebrate these bold decisions – these audacious acts – as victories, not just for the family and the faith, but for civilization and mankind.
It is not enough to thank our mothers. We owe them a debt that cannot be repaid. But we can, and we must, love them, honor them, support them and sustain them as they faithfully continue to wage their mother's war.

Friedrich Engels: It is the essence of bourgeois socialism to want to maintain the basis of all the evils of present-day society and at the same time to want to abolish the evils themselves. As already pointed out in The Communist Manifesto, the bourgeois socialist 'is desirous of redressing social grievances in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society,' he wants 'a bourgeoisie without a proletariat.' We have already seen that Dr. Sax formulates the question in exactly the same fashion. The solution he finds in the solution of the housing question. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
- Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.

- Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
- Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

Depuis six ans, j'analyse la pénétration de l'idéologie transgenre au sein des établissements d'enseignement comme l'exemple le plus évident du retour de bâton du patriarcat néolibéral. Il s'agit d'idées néfastes pour les enfants, qui enrichissent les grandes entreprises pharmaceutiques et ouvrent la voie à l'expérimentation du transhumanisme. En outre, ces idées détruisent les droits des femmes parce qu'elles nient la réalité matérielle du sexe et occultent ainsi l'origine de notre oppression. De plus, elles détournent le concept du « genre », qui désigne les attributs qui infériorisent les femmes et naturalisent notre subordination, en en faisant une identité basée sur des stéréotypes sexistes. Les politiques d'égalité entre les sexes sont anéanties si tout homme qui se déclare femme est reconnu comme telle par la loi.

Synopsis:
Depuis plus de 5 ans, Basel Adra, un activiste palestinien en Cisjordanie, filme l’expulsion de sa communauté par l'occupation israélienne qui détruit progressivement les villages et chasse ses habitants. Il rencontre Yuval, un journaliste israélien, qui le soutient dans ses démarches. Une amitié inattendue voit le jour. Ce film réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien de quatre jeunes militants a été réalisé comme un acte de résistance créative sur la voie d'une plus grande justice.
================
Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini
est un cinéaste et militant des droits de l'homme palestinien. En 2024, il co-réalise le documentaire No Other Land, qui remporte l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars le 2 mars 2025.
Il a travaillé comme agriculteur, photographe et chercheur. Il est bénévole pour l'organisation israélienne de défense des droits de l'homme B'Tselem en tant que chercheur sur le terrain.
En 2024, il co-réalise, aux côtés de Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, le film documentaire No Other Land de 2024, sur les colonies israéliennes et la violence en Cisjordanie. En 2025, Le film est acclamé par la critique, remportant l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars,.
Le 24 mars 2025, Hamdan Ballal, est agressé à son domicile à Susya, dans le sud de la Cisjordanie, par des colons israéliens armés. Blessé et ensanglanté, il est évacué en ambulance, mais des soldats israéliens entrent dans l'ambulance et embarquent Hamdan Ballal. Deux autres Palestiniens sont également arrêtés, sans contact possible avec leur avocate. Il est relâché par les autorités israéliennes 24 heures après (25 mars 2025), ayant passé selon son avocate « la nuit menotté et les yeux bandés dans une base militaire (israélienne), tandis que deux soldats le rouaient de coups ». Selon Ouest France « ce harcèlement violent des villageois palestiniens est désormais quotidien en Cisjordanie occupée » et une « mise en abime » de son documentaire.
Yuval Abraham
est un journaliste d'investigation et réalisateur israélien.
Il apprend l’arabe en partie grâce à l’un de ses grands-pères, originaire du Yémen. Une de ses grands-mères est née dans un camp de concentration italien en Libye et une partie de sa famille a été tuée pendant l’Holocauste. Grâce à sa maîtrise de la langue, qu’il enseigne en Israël en parallèle de ses premiers reportages dans des médias israéliens, comme le magazine +972, il participe à des actions pour empêcher les colons israéliens de détruire des maisons palestiniennes, en territoires occupés, en s’installant sur place dans des familles de Cisjordanie.
En 2020, Yuval Abraham crée la plate-forme We Beyond the Fence (« Nous au-delà du mur »), avec Ahmed Alnaouq, un journaliste palestinien : le site propose des textes, traduits en hébreu, qui racontent le quotidien des Palestiniens de l’enclave sous blocus depuis 2007. Le projet est de faire entendre à un public israélien les « voix palestiniennes », après avoir mis en place une idée similaire, en anglais, sur We Are NOT Numbers ! (« Nous ne sommes pas des nombres »), dès 2014. Le projet s’arrête brusquement en novembre 2023, quand 21 membres de la famille d’Ahmed Alnaouq sont tués dans une frappe aérienne de l’armée israélienne.
Il révèle pendant la guerre de Gaza l'existence du programme militaire d’intelligence artificielle Lavender (« lavande »), qui, au moyen d’algorithmes, a automatisé l’identification de cibles. Ce système a été largement utilisé au cours de cette guerre par l'armée israélienne pour déclencher des frappes aériennes responsables de milliers de morts civils. Il révèle également les pressions du Mossad contre la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) pour l’empêcher d'enquêter sur Israël. Il dispose de nombreux contacts dans le renseignement israélien.
Basel Adra (ou Al-Adra)
est un réalisateur, avocat et journaliste palestinien.
Il a documenté les tentatives de Tsahal (Forces de défense israéliennes) d'expulser les villageois palestiniens de la Cisjordanie occupée et les violences commises par les colons israéliens.
Adra est aussi activiste et photographe bénévole pour B'Tselem. Il travaille comme journaliste pour les publications en ligne +972 Magazine et Local Call avec le photojournaliste Oren Ziv, qui a écrit l'article de +972 Magazine suite aux allégations de Channel 12 contre al-Adra.
En 2022, il a été agressé alors qu'il filmait les FDI en train de démolir une structure qu'il avait construite, et détenu dans des conditions difficiles après avoir filmé une attaque d'un coordinateur de la sécurité de l'armée israélienne en 2023.
En 2021, les organes de presse HaKol HaYehudi et Channel 12 ont accusé al-Adra d'avoir mis le feu à un bâtiment dans les collines d'Hébron (Cisjordanie), affirmant qu'il avait tenté de faire porter le chapeau de l'incident à des colons juifs et à des soldats des Forces de défense israéliennes (FDI). Les images des caméras corporelles utilisées par Channel 12 montrent au contraire que l'incendie a été provoqué par une grenade lacrymogène tirée par l'armée israélienne et que l'on voit al-Adra tenter de l'éteindre. Depuis lors, Channel 12 News et les médias de droite en Israël n'ont pas réussi à fournir de preuves à l'appui de leurs allégations contre al-Adra, et la chaîne d'information a déclaré qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention d'enquêter plus avant sur l'incident.
Rachel Szor
est une réalisatrice, scénographe et directrice de la photographie israélienne.
Elle a fait ses débuts de réalisatrice avec le documentaire No Other Land, coréalisé avec Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Hamdan Ballal, dont la première a eu lieu au Festival du film de Berlin 2024. Cette œuvre lui a valu l'Oscar du meilleur documentaire.
