Dems Push “Africa Day” On Memorial Day Weekend While Denying White Farmer Genocide | Drew Hernandez
Over Memorial Day weekend 2025, Woke Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced the celebration of “African Day.” Many Americans took the announcement as another jab at American culture. Particularly an insult to Memorial Day observances.
Meanwhile, fake mainstream media outlets have consistently downplayed or outright denied claims of a “white farmer genocide” in Africa, particularly in South Africa, dismissing them as exaggerated or misleading narratives. Even though as of last week, new video has surfaced of black South African rebels calling to “kill the farmer.” A go to chant specifically targeting white South African farmers. minds.com/newsfeed/17742488031…

“If I supply you with a tool to remove DRM (like some versions of Calibre), then I commit a felony and Amazon can have me sent to prison for five years for giving you a tool to move my book from the Kindle app to a rival app like Kobo” – @pluralistic
lifehacker.com/tech/you-can-re…
There should be a legal way to back up the books and audiobooks you've purchased.Pranay Parab (Lifehacker)
I'm not sure if I understand your point. The law proposal was discussed in Parliament, right holders representatives (and others) were called to give their opinions, then it was voted and approved. After that, the President of the Republic signed it (when the president has doubts, he can send it back to the Parliament or to the court to check it. He didn't have doubts in this case).
So, the law is applicable.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've seen that sometimes courts don't interpret the law exactly as it was intended and then, in those cases, there are changes by the Parliament. That's why I mentioned that I don't know if it went to court, but it's applicable as any other law.
Let me add that we worked with the definition in the law. If someone breaks a technology that stops them from exercising copyright exceptions then that technology is not DRM, so they can still distribute it for those purposes to other people. Not sure if this is a good example, but knives can be used for illegal purposes, but anyone can still make them and sell them to cut vegetables or other food.
@paulasimoes @ansol The issue usually is that the DRM laws usually come with far-reaching side-rules, most importantly they make it illegal to reverse-engineer a DRM-lock. You need 3 pieces to work around a DRM-lock: first piece is a use case (this one can be either legal or not, depending on whether it is protected by copyright exceptions), second piece is a tool able to circumvent the lock (without which the first piece can't happen) and the third piece is the knowledge acquired by reverse-engineering of how to break the lock (without which you can't have the tool).
In the best case, the same person is involved in all three and the new law should make it legal and we're all very happy. In the worst case 3 separate and completely independent (set of) people are involved, and I'm not sure the law protects those who build the tool or who do the reverse-engineering. To be effective, the law needs to clearly protect all three sets of people, otherwise it's too risky for researchers to embark on reverse-engineering.
@monnier @ansol Sorry to get back to this only now. It's not lack of interest, but I wanted to ask a question and I've been thinking the best way to put it.
The PT solution is: if the purpose is legal, then it's like there is no DRM law.
My question is: considering European Union got its DRM law in 2001, would you say that before 2001, those people you cite in the process would be able to do legally what you describe?
Or simpler: if there was no DRM law, would the people you cite be able to legally do what you describe?
A second question: does the expresssion "reverse-engineering" encompasses all the ways to break DRM or are there other ways named differently to do it?
(If others in this thread want to give their input, please do)
Let me explain: the European Commission opened the copyright directive (approved in 2019), so we get some years before it opens it again, but when it does and if cites DRM (in 2019 because of TDM exception), associations like ANSOL and others will be able to ask members of the European Parliament to meke changes proposals. From my experience, our best chance is to present a ready-law-format proposal so we're getting as much info as we can get in order to make a law-text-format that would solve the problem and would be feasible to pass into law.
@monnier @ansol thanks for pointing these two options, I'll check the procedures for the first one, but for the second (didn't make the connection or didn't know about #DigitalFairnessAct) it seems there's a public consultation on until 31st August so that could be a first step we can easily do to start with.
I leave the link to the consultation if anyone else needs it:

Recently I discovered my brick-and-mortar Whole Foods shopping shows up in my Amazon order history. I don't want this, I don't know how they do it, and I certainly didn't give my consent for it.
@anildash writes that big websites don't care about consent anymore:
No, I do not use any Amazon app. No, I am not an Amazon Prime member. It appears they link my purchases together by credit card.
Whole Foods is my grocery store in walking distance. Buying a car so I can shop elsewhere isn't a solution I'm willing to do.

Here's an effective way to combat the high cost of pool chemicals and maintain a clean, clear pool naturally.
By using a natural bog filter, this method harnesses the power of beneficial bacteria and riparian plants to filter and purify the water, reducing the need for harsh chemicals while keeping the pool in top condition.
Materials:
Large container full of rocks and pebbles (e.g., a cheap trash can)
Riparian pond plants (e.g., creeping Jenny, Japanese taro, and yellow flag iris)
Pond pump (pumps enough gallons per hour to cycle the pool once every hour or two)
PVC fittings for a spout and drain at the bottom of the filter
Copper pieces (optional but helpful)Setup:
The pond pump pulls water through a flexible pipe into the bottom of the trash can.
Water flows upwards through the layers of rocks, trapping debris and hosting beneficial bacteria.
Filtered water spills out of the spout at the top.
Filtration:
The rocks trap debris and help filter the water.
Beneficial bacteria consume nutrients and waste from decaying leaves, preventing algae growth.
Riparian pond plants consume nutrients that algae would otherwise use to grow.
Maintenance:
Skim floating debris and vacuum settled debris regularly.
Once a season, turn off the pump and open the drain at the bottom. Flush out any gathered debris by running your hose on top of the rocks.
Keep the pump running 24/7; the power needed to run a small pond pump is negligible.
Benefits:
Chemical-free pool maintenance
Cost-effective solution
Fresh, clean water that is safe for skinHashtags:

Kylie’s 1987 debut single “The Loco-motion” was re-produced in ’88 with the Hit Factory’s Stock Aitken and Waterman for this UK number 2 hit.
It was also her biggest hit in the US peaking at no. 3 and was number one in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, ~~Israel~~, Japan and South Africa. The song was a cover of Little Eva’s American number one dancefloor sensation written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and featured on the soundtrack for Arthur 2: On The Rocks starring Liza Minelli and Dudley Moore. Taken from “Kylie” her 7 x UK platinum debut album.
Lyrics:
Everybody′s doing a brand-new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It′s easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, ooh, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack, oh-oh-oh-oh
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Chug-a, chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
The loco-motion (whoa-ooh)
Come on, come on
The loco-motion (whoa-ooh)
Come on, come on
The loco-motion (whoa-ooh)

Come on, come on, come on
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion) yeah
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
There′s never been a dance that′s so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, ooh, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack, oh-oh-oh-oh
Do the lo-, do the lo-, do the lo-, the loco-motion

Come on, come on
(Do) you got to loco-motion with me
The loco-motion (whoa-ooh)

@Spirillen This is a song with some real history, it just keeps on coming back. Originally written by Carol King and Gerry Goffin in 1962 (when I was a whole of four years old) and performed by Little Eva:
Then resurrected 12 years later by Grand Funk Railroad...
And then 13 years after that, in 1987, Kylie Minogue resurrected it again, and somehow through all these translations it seems to have retained it's energy.

Eminem's collaboration with Rihanna on "The Monster" is an electrifying track that explores the struggles of fame and inner demons. This explicit version showcases the unique chemistry between the two artists, blending powerful lyrics with a catchy hook. Featured on the album The Monster, this song has become an anthem for those grappling with their own challenges.
🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me
For wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew; see, but it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
(Ooh!) Hit the lottery, oh wee
But with what I gave up to get was bittersweet
It was like winning a used me
Ironic cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think cause I'm...
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody
Once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it
Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder
Where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
No wonder you losing your mind, the way it wanders)
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
I think you've been wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
Cause I need an interventionist to intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head is saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed
And I'm coming straight at MCs, blood get spilled
And I take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played at, pumped up feeling
And s*** to say back to the kids who play 'em
I ain't here to save the f***ing children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels and then relates, that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back in the draft
Turn nothing into something, still can make that, straw into gold chump
I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts, I am nuts for real
But I'm okay with that, it's nothing, I'm still friends with the...
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
A family in crisis that only grows older
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart
And I wear all your old clothes; your polo sweater
I dream of another you the one who would never, never
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed
So why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me'
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart, of a broken heart
I love you
I love you
I love you
I, I love you
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me'
Did you ever love me?
These are
The confessions of a broken heart, oh yea
And I wait for the postman to bring me a letter

I watch the walls around me crumble
But it's not like I won't build them up again
So here's your last chance for redemption
So take it while it lasts 'cause it will end
And my tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
I can't live without you
Can't breathe without you
I'm dreaming about you, honestly
Tell me that it's over
'Cause if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It won't be right if we're not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
Don't wanna be the last to know
I won't be the one to chase you
But at the same time
You're the heart that I call home
I'm always stuck with these emotions
And the more I try to feel, the less I'm whole
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
I can't live without you
Can't breathe without you
I'm dreaming about you, honestly
Tell me that it's over
'Cause if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It won't be right if we're not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
Yeah, I'll be the first to go
Don't wanna be the last to know
Over
Over
Over
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
I can't live without you
Can't breathe without you
I'm dreaming about you, honestly
Tell me that it's over
'Cause if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It won't be right if we're not in it together
Tell me that it's over
Tell me that it's over
Over
Honestly tell me
Honestly tell me
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't tell me that it's over

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
Is that someone you used to date?
Why's she hangin' around here, what's her story?
Doesn't she know that it's too late?
That the party is over and the car's for me
Why don't you tell her what's been goin' on?
'Cause she seems to be dreamin' instead of just leavin'
If you don't have the heart to fill her in
Then just step aside and let me lay it on the line
'Cause you're mine (You're mine)
And tonight, you don't revolve around her
You're mine (You're mine)
And this time, I'm gonna scream a little louder
Don't wanna be like every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
'Cause when I see you, something inside me burns
And then I realize, I wanna come first
I wanna come first
You look at me, and I just die
It's like heaven arrivin' in my mind, yeah
I can't believe all this jealousy
I used to be a girl who could let a guy breathe
But you're mine (You're mine)
And tonight, you revolve around me
You're mine (You're mine, you're mine)
And this time, I'm gonna get a little louder
Don't wanna be like every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
'Cause when I see you, something inside me burns
And then I realize, I wanna come first
I wanna come first
Don't wanna be like every girl who's tried to get you
I wanna be the one who's never sorry that she met you
I wanna come first
I wanna come first
Hey!
Don't wanna be like every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
'Cause when I (when I) see you, something inside me burns
And then I realize, I wanna come first
(Don't wanna be like every other girl in the world)
Like every other one who wants you
'Cause when I (when I) see you, something inside me burns
And then I realize, I wanna come first
Every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
'Cause when I (when I) see you
Something inside me burns, burns, burns (and then I realize)
I wanna come first

“Autism doesn’t destroy families.
Ignorance does.
Isolation does.
Shame does.
Especially when it comes packaged in a suit with a microphone and a claim to public good.” 👍🏼💪🏼

in reply to Michael Lucas • • •I've known a number of people who are on the spectrum and have some familiarity with some of the severe challenges of raising them.
Most are/were not tragedies.
The problem with you, RFK, and your supporters, is lack of understanding. Sure, some people on the spectrum are tragedies, just like some neurotypical people are tragedies. But if you only look at the tragedies, you're misinformed and doing huge harm, both to millions of people as well as to our society and our country.

in reply to Michael Lucas • • •Right in the feels. Being diagnosed with autism on my sixth year - and mid twenties with ADHD - I reckon both myself and the beloved ones in this letter.
And I am incredibly honored to have a supportive environment while growing up - for the most part. But others don't have that privilege.
As controversial as this might be - the attitude of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. feels like discrimination and a crime against humanity.
Having been there - having experienced what a diagnosis is like - the good, but also the bad and worst sides - we should be supportive of everyone. Especially if they are "different" or fall outside the lines of the system.
