"I don't trust any Doctors anymore. I have two family members that are medical underwriters. I had them printing Doctors notes as they were being put in the system when my Son had Cancer. They lied about EVERYTHING. They then waited 4 days to sign the death certificate because they were trying to clean their notes. Thank God I have them printed and have lawyered up. His
pediatric oncology surgeon killed him. He said he bled out due to the amount of cancer but according to his own notes, that was a lie, he accidentally cut my Son's main artery and had a hard time trying to cauterize it."
"Ha! I asked my doctor about some concerning side effects of a medication she was prescribing and she said, "Why are you reading the side effects?". I think I need a new doctor."
"I asked my doctor about some kind of natural treatment for a newly discovered
condition I have and he just looked at me and said "You'll have to ask a naturopathic doctor about that. I am an allopathic doctor." He then called in a medicine prescription for me at my chosen pharmacy. This is not just frustrating but very disappointing. Thank you for all that you do for us, Doctor Dhand!!!"
TEHRAN, May 12 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any misuse of the JCPOA's snapback mechanism could not only end Europe's role in the deal but also escalate irreversible tensions.

Just received a new middle frame for my Librem5. Now I can fix it. Very cool being able to order spare parts for my mobile phone.
Only drawback: DHL Express. Yes, fast, but that wouldn't have been necessary. And EXPENSIVE: Shipping fee above 40 US$ and another fee for handling import taxes of more than 14€ which can't be avoided (believe me I tried hard once).
I'd wish there'd be shipping with a simple carrier that falls under the Treaty of Bern. Would take longer (probably a lot longer), but I could fetch the stuff from my local customs office and just pay the import tax with no additional fees. And the shipping fee would be far less also I guess.
Unofficial mainboard for the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 turns a laptop from 2008 into a modern machine
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a laptop that was released in 2008. But its classic design still appeals to some long-time enthusiasts who appreciate the laptop’s iconic keyboard with a TrackPoint nub in the center and 12.1 inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
The notebook’s aging specs don’t really cut it in 2025 though. So developer FranckDeng has designed a modern mainboard that can be […]
My favorite thing about my @furilabs phone, besides the lack of tracking, is the impromptu experiments and tinkering. It's handy. This morning, on a whim, I tried to run Doom on it. It didn't work for reasons that aren't the phone's fault... but I was entertained for hours instead of mindlessly doomscrolling. It is a very differerent device than my Android phone, and it encourages different behavior.
Yeah, it can do the same basics - phone, text, calendar, contacts... But the extras it does are an entirely different set of extras. Everything is deliberate choices. There's no "*ding* Hey, look what's happening on this app!"

Enver Hoxha: The modern revisionists try to justify the approach to and union with the social-democrats under the pretext that "positive trends" are allegedly being observed especially in recent times, among the ranks of social democracy; that they have allegedly expressed themselves in favor of peace, peaceful coexistence, disarmament, that they have positively modified their attitude toward the USSR, that they have expressed themselves in favor of some kind of approach to the communists, that they have expressed some sort of willingness to meet the demands of the working class, to preserve and strengthen democratic institutions, they have stated that they are in favor of socialist transformation of society and so forth. Thus, in order to justify their line of approach to the rightwing leaders of social-democracy, the revisionists try to create the illusion that it is not the revisionist train which is speeding its way to the social-democratic station, but the social-democratic station is coming up to meet the revisionist train! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

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.

#France - Tout va très bien dans la dictature macronienne silencieuse, le peuple et les petits bourgeois dorment bien et ne voient absolument rien arriver... #jovanovic LE GIPN A DÉBARQUÉ CHEZ PIERRE JOVANOVIC ET À SA MAISON D’ÉDITION
Un événement scandaleux a secoué la France. L'écrivain et journaliste indépendant Pierre Jovanovic, auteur des ouvrages qui dérangent, a été pris pour cible ...
En tout cas il n'en dit rien sur FB (enfin j'ai regardé vite ce qu'il poste). Cela dit c'est pas le bon endroit non plus et il a peut-être ses raisons pour ne pas en causer...
Alors il parait que l'histoire de la descente chez Jovanovic (où il laisse la lumière allumée et le voisin d'en face (mais inconnu....) prend une photo à 3:33 du mat...) s'est en fait passé plus de 2 mois avant....qu'il la sorte....pour vendre son livre ?
Oui j'ai vu cette affaire... En même temps ses livres se vendent très bien en général, pourquoi faire ce binz. Mais son affaire n'est pas claire, c'est un peu embrouillé. Je pense qu'il y a des gens que le pouvoir aimerait voir écartées bien davantage que Jovanovic (tout intéressant qu'il soit).
Mes amis, c’est sidérant. Les politiques français donnent l’impression d’être totalement soumis : ils n’osent même plus parler librement, incapables de répondre à la moindre question directe sur certains sujets. Et ces mêmes politicards viennent nous faire la leçon sur le droit international, l’ONU, les valeurs universelles… mais seulement quand ça les arrange.
Dès qu’il s’agit de Mileikowsky (Netanyahou) ou des ministres israéliens, c’est le silence radio. Plus personne pour défendre les principes qu’ils brandissent à tout bout de champ.
Et après ça, ils osent traiter les autres de négationnistes ou de complotistes... Mais ce sont leurs propres contradictions, leur lâcheté, et leur deux poids deux mesures qui alimentent la défiance. Ils nourrissent eux-mêmes ce qu’ils prétendent combattre.

House Republicans unveil Medicaid cuts that Democrats warn will leave millions without care
House Republicans unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” late Sunday: $880B in cuts largely to #Medicaid to help cover $4.5T in tax breaks.
The legislation is touching off the biggest fight over health care since #Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare in 2017 — which ended in failure.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the proposals would leave 8.6 million people without coverage.
More than a dozen Republicans have told #GOP leaders they will not support cuts to health care that constituents depend on. Trump himself has vowed no cuts to Medicaid.
There would be new “community engagement requirements” of 80 hours per month of work, education or service for able-bodied adults without dependents. People would also have to verify eligibility twice a year, rather than just once.
well, surely the parliamentarian won't allow for something such as this in a reconciliation bill. ... ... oh wait, this just in. parliamentarian only works during democract-controlled senates.
