Last Chance to Rescue Dwindling Vaquita Population — Less than 10 Left _ Please sign and share
The vaquita, the world’s rarest marine mammal, is on the brink of extinction. Fewer than 10 remain in the wild—all due to illegal fishing nets used for another species, the totoaba fish. These nets trap and drown vaquitas, pushing them closer to oblivion.
There is still a sliver of hope. If the Mexican government cracks down on illegal fishing and protects the vaquita’s habitat, the species could recover.

The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (Official Video)


Time, time, time
See what's become of me

Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities

I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside
There's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned

Carry a cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again

Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life

Seasons change with the scenery
Weavin' time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Linkin Park - Numb (Official Music Video) [4K UPGRADE]


Linkin Park is an alternative rock band renowned for their hits “Numb,” “In the End,” “What I’ve Done,” “Castle of Glass,” “New Divide,” “Crawling,” and “Faint.” They worked with artists like Jay-Z, Metallica, Steve Aoki, and Paul McCartney — amassing billions of global streams and received the UN Global Leadership Award for their humanitarian work.

Lyrics:
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

“Under our Constitution, the federal government has delegated, enumerated and thus limited powers. Power is delegated by the founding generation or through subsequent amendment (that makes it legitimate); enumerated in the constitution (that makes it legal); and limited by that enumeration. As the 10th Amendment says, if a power hasn’t been delegated, the federal government doesn’t have it. For 150 years, that design held for the most part. When faced with a welfare…

“That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended -- civilizations are built up -- excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards, and then it breaks down.”

29 n'est pas exceptionnel pour une fin mai, mais là n'est pas le problème que je décris. Le problème est que ces gens et les médias nous font une propagande alarmiste en stigmatisant le français moyen qui veut continuer à rouler en golf GTI et à boufer 2 steacks par jour.
Mais ils se gardent bien de parler de Blackrock, de la Trilatérale ou du Bilderberg où se joue la réalité politique et donc le climat.
A force de prendre les gens pour des cons, ils ne croient plus en rien.

Es tut sich etwas im deutschen Regierungsbetrieb, wenn nun sogar eine Mitarbeiterin der vom Außenministerium finanzierten Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) in Berlin öffentlich konkrete Maßnahmen wie den "sofortigen Lieferstopp von Waffen, die im Gazastreifen oder im Westjordanland eingesetzt werden können, sowie die Unterstützung einer Überprüfung des EU-Israel-Assoziierungsabkommens" fordert.

Bei allen opportunistischen Winkelzügen, die zu vermuten sind, wenn 19 Monate zugeschaut wird, bevor sich irgend etwas tut, was mit der deutschen Staatsräson bricht, eine doch erfreuliche Entwicklung.

Diese müsste jetzt allerdings noch mit einer spürbaren Rücknahme der Repression gegen die palästinasolidarische Bewegung einhergehen, die alles dafür getan hat, dass auch politische Resultate erzielt werden.

Trump’s big sin here is requiring a portion of recipients to work for the benefits they receive. And Democrats hate any system where people are expected to earn their handouts.

As with all modern presidencies, President Trump can enjoy greater comforts in his second term than in his first term, simply by no longer needing to posture for re-election.

In a historic win for data protection and privacy, the High Court of Ireland has this afternoon granted ICCL permission to take Ireland’s first ever class action. The lawsuit targets Microsoft’s vast online advertising business.

The litigation is anticipated to affect Microsoft’s operations across Europe, because Ireland is the venue of Microsoft’s EU headquarters.

Dr Johnny Ryan, Director of ICCL’s Enforce unit, is leading the case. Speaking after the hearing, he said:

“The significance of today's decision extends beyond just Microsoft. Ireland is also the HQ venue for Google, Meta, TikTok, X and Apple. Today, nine years and one day after the GDPR was first introduced, we are finally opening up a way to enforce it against big tech on behalf of everyone. Regrettably, the Ireland’s Data Protection Commission has paralysed enforcement of EU data law. But that need no longer be the case.”

The litigation follows research by ICCL Enforce that uncovered how people’s intimate relationships, finances, and other secrets, are broadcast by Microsoft into the Real-Time Bidding (RTB) advertising system. Microsoft’s RTB system operates behind the scenes on websites and apps to match advertising to specific people.

ICCL argues this system is exposing users to malicious profiling and discrimination. It also argues that the system is undermining European security.

ICCL is taking the legal action on behalf of all affected people in Ireland under the new EU Collective Redress Directive. The organisation hopes to force Microsoft to bring its systems into compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Posing as a data buyer, ICCL Enforce obtained thousands of RTB data “segments” about Irish people. These include information such as whether a person gambles, their finances and debt, and even such sensitive information as whether the person works in a sensitive national security role.

Révélations #Blast / WikiLeaks : Quand le #PS permettait l'ingérence américaine dans le référendum européen de 2005
blast-info.fr/articles/2025/re…

L’exploration des télégrammes diplomatiques révélés par #WikiLeaks en 2010 montre que les dirigeants du Parti socialiste essayaient d’amadouer Washington en se déclarant pro-américains et pro-européens. Les conversations secrètes entre les « éléphants » et les diplomates US dévoilent une ingérence américaine dans la campagne pour le référendum sur le traité constitutionnel européen.
Les médias ont totalement occulté cet épisode, y compris #LeMonde, pourtant partenaire de WikiLeaks sur le dossier « #Cablegate ».
