The Instagram account of a well known anti-Zionist Jewish comedian was deleted after Meta's Public Policy Director for Israel and the Jewish Diaspora viewed one of his stories. This is just one example of the anti-Palestinian bias across Big Tech.

On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Meta permanently deleted the Instagram account of anti-Zionist Jewish comedian Michael Schirtzer.

The creation of the State of Israel has always been a project of erase/replace: erasing Palestinians and replacing Palestinians with imported Jewish immigrants.

This is why Israel has always gone to extreme lengths to destroy Palestinian towns, villages, homes and communities; why they changed the names of places; why they planted European trees and why they have no problem blowing up hills to make way for ugly Israeli settlements.

Part of the underlying problem around the proscription of Palestine Action (rendering protesters committing criminal damage as 'terrorists') is its based on the assumption Govt. has the right to judge whether protests are 'legitimate actions' or not;

A Govt. that can decide what and what isn't legitimate protest is reserving to itself the ability to shape & distort the articulation of political views.

Its a desire to enforce the Overton Window by legal means & is anti-democratic!

隐秘的幸福


Clarice Lispector 利斯佩克托尔 著 闵雪飞 译

她很胖,个儿友矮,一脸雀斑,头发卷得过了份,颜色半黄不红的。我们这些女孩子的胸都很平坦,她却有一对巨乳。就这样她彷佛还不知足,用糖块把胸脯之上的那两个衬衫兜儿撑得鼓鼓囊囊的。不过,她有一件东西,是所有贪恋故事的孩子梦寐以求的:书店老板是她的父亲。

她却没好好利用。至于我们,沾光的机会就更少了。就连我们过生日,她也从不肯送本便宜的小书,只送张父亲店里的明信片敷衍了事。更过分的是,卡片正面就是累西腓本地风景,就是我们住的地方,除了桥,就没别的精致了。背面花体字写着“生日快乐”与“想你”。

但在使坏这方面,她倒是很有天赋。她这个人成天大声地吮吸着糖果,可劲儿地报复我们。这姑娘必然恨我们,我们一个个漂亮苗条又高挑,头发柔柔顺顺的,这简直不能原谅。她平静而凶猛地虐待我。我太爱读书了,简直察觉不到她给我的侮辱,一个劲儿求她借给我她不读的书。

终于,她等到了一个好日子,可以向我施加一场漫长的酷刑。仿佛不经意间,她告诉我她有《小鼻子轶事》这本书,是蒙特罗·罗巴度 [1] 写的。

天啊!那可是一本大部头。对我来说,那书是一起过活的,可以吃它、睡它。不过我可买不起。她让我第二天路过她家时停一下,把那书借给我。

第二天,我沉陷于快乐与希望之中:我不是在生活,而是在一片平静的汪洋中慢慢地游弋,任凭海浪推动着我向前,退后。

第二天,我走到她家,准确地说,我是一路小跑着来的。她可不像我一样住在棚户里,她家是一桩大房子。她根本没有让我进门。她真视着我的眼睛,告诉我她把那书借给另外一个姑娘了,让我今天回去,明天再来。我半张着嘴,慢慢地离开了她的家。不过,没过多久,希望又一次攻占我,我又开始在街上蹦蹦跳跳了,在累西腓的大街小巷里,我总会议这种奇怪的方式走。这一次我没有摔倒,借书的承诺指引着我,第二天很快会来的,之后的日子才是我生活的全部,对世界的爱等待着我,我一如既往地在街上蹦蹦跳跳,一次也没有摔倒。

但事情没那么简单。书店老板的女儿的隐秘计划很平静,也很恶毒。第二天,我来到她家门口,脸上带着笑意,心里雀跃沸腾。但我只听到一声谈谈的回答:书不在她手上,我得明天在来借。我一下子就明白了,在我这一生之中,在我满满的期待下,这“明日再来”的戏码将不断地上演下去。

就这样一日一日过去。多长时间?我不知道。她却知道这场折磨完没了,只要嫉恨没有从她庞大的身躯里流淌干净。我揣度过她是故意选中我,让我受罪。有时,我的确这么想过。但是,想归想,有时我依然可以受,因为让我受罪的这个人,是真的需要让我受苦。

多长时间?我每天去她家,没有一天缺过。有时她会说:那书昨天下午我还有来着,但是你只早上来,因此我又把它借给另外一个姑娘了。而我,我从来不长黑眼圈,现在却感到黑眼圈正在我那双震惊的眼睛下沉陷。

一天,我一如既往地来到她家,屈辱而又沉默默出现在家门口,想必她早就起疑。她要我们两个解释一下。接下来的是一阵荒乱的沉默,间或有些语无论的话冒出来。她母亲越来越糊涂,越发觉得这事的诡异。终于,这位好心的母亲听明白了。她走到女儿面前,愕然地喊:可是,这本书从来没有离家一步,而且,你连读都不读!

对于这位女士来说,最糟的不得知了事情的始末。女儿竟然这么恶毒!这个发现恐怕才真正是件恐怖的事。她默默地审视着我们:一个全然陌生的女儿,使坏的能耐倒是不小;一个是金发女孩,倚立在门边,精疲力竭地迎着累西腓街上的风。这时,她终于有所行动,平静而又鉴定地对女儿说:你,立即把书借给人家。又对着我说:你,这本书你爱看多久就看多久。你们明白吗?这比把书给了我都要好:“我想看多久就看多久”,一个人,无论是大人还是小孩,所敢于企盼的不过如此。

该怎么说接着发生的事儿呢?我怔住了,木木地接过了书。我想我什么话都没说,只是拿起了书。不,我出门时没有像平日那样蹦蹦跳跳。我慢慢地走。我知道我用双手抱住这本厚书,紧紧地贴在胸腹上。到底花了多长时间才走回家,我也不再乎。我的胸暖洋洋的,我的心起伏不定。

我回到家,却没有立即开始阅读。我装成没有这本书的样子,这样,待一会儿我才会大吃一椋。几个小时之后,我翻开书,读上几行美妙的文字,又把书合上,在家里转了转,我又拖延了一会儿,去吃了些黄油面包,装成想不起来书放在哪里了,接着找到了它,打开它看了一会儿。为了这隐秘的东西,为了这幸福,我制造了并不存在的困难。对我而言,幸福总是隐秘的。好像已预感到这点。费了我多少工夫啊!我生活在云端,又是自豪,又是羞愧。我是一个娇贵的女王。

有时,我坐在吊床上,轻轻摇摆着,书在我的怀里展开,我不碰它,只是纯然地陶醉。

我不再是一个有了书的小女孩,而是一个有了情人的女人。

PÉTROLE : POURQUOI LE SÉNÉGAL FAIT PANIQUER L'OCCIDENT

Le Sénégal se lance dans un bras de fer avec le plus important exploitant pétrolier du pays, l’australien Woodside Energy. “L’administration fiscale réclame 62,5 millions d’euros au groupe australien, qui exploite le champ de Sangomar. Contestant tout arriéré d’impôt, celui-ci a lancé une procédure d’arbitrage international.” explique Le Monde. Le journal ajoute que “Le cœur du litige serait dû à des évolutions dans le régime fiscal sénégalais. Le groupe pétrolier considère que les exigences sénégalaises contreviennent à des clauses contractuelles censées protéger les investisseurs en cas de changements fiscaux ou légaux. Or entre la signature du contrat de Sangomar, en 2004, qui s’appuyait sur le code pétrolier de 1998, et les revendications des contrôleurs d’impôts, le texte régissant le secteur des hydrocarbures a changé, en 2019.” Souvent, nous avons parlé dans l’Instant Porcher de ces grands groupes qui exploitent les ressources dans les pays africains. De cette relation d’interdépendance mais aussi de la mainmise de l’Occident sur le continent africain.
La procédure lancée par le groupe pétrolier peut durer des années. Et Le Monde rappelle : “l’Etat (sénégalais) est engagé dans une course contre la montre. Surendettement, note souveraine dégradée, gel du financement du Fonds monétaire international (FMI) à hauteur de 1,8 milliard de dollars ayant pour effet de suspendre d’autres financements comme ceux de l’Union européenne (UE)… Les marges de manœuvre du Sénégal, extrêmement limitées, contraignent les autorités à multiplier audits et redressements. Du français Eiffage au turc Summa, beaucoup de grands groupes passent sous les fourches caudines des inspecteurs des impôts.” Cela démontre dans quel étau l’Occident a placé les pays africains avec des ressources.

Le fameux “conclave” sur la réforme des retraites par François Bayrou a fini sur un échec… assez prévisible me direz vous. On l’avait dit ici. Le Premier Ministre voulaient laisser syndicats et patronat discuter, mais a mis des contours : ne pas revenir sur les 62 ans par exemple. La CGT comme d’autres avaient alors quitté la table des négociations. En dernière ligne, les “partenaires sociaux” restants ne se sont pas mis d’accord sur la pénibilité. François Bayrou a tenté de sauver les restes, et avance que le “travail s’est déroulé dans un climat de coopération”.

Trump is Right on Powell–but for the wrong reasons


#politics #economics

Neoclassical economics is a cult.

Not only do economists assume that everyone has a model of the economy in their heads that is the same as the model they have developed, they also assume that this model is an accurate predictor of the future. Bear in mind that this is after they’ve already admitted that their models completely failed to predict the Global Financial Crisis.

Don't judge the tech bros on how cringeworthy or clumsy they are. Judge them on their intent

Our reactions to things like this are "hey everyone, this is really dumb. Lol"

It feels good to speak on the ugliness and stupidity and get affirmation others also see how fucked up it is

But there is no protection in that, it's a momentary salve, it doesn't make it go away

@Su_G Funny how I was branded “extreme” for clearly stating that they’re the enemy a decade ago.

I guess it didn’t help that nearly everyone in tech either had (has) “good friends who work there” and/or wanted (wants) to work there and/or were (are) employed by and/or were (are) bottom-feeders – consultant(cies), “influencers”, etc. – that depend on the scraps thrown at them by Big Tech.

Please for gods sake dont use CasaOS


  1. It is a For-profit without any means of Generating income (unlike Truenas or Suse which have a paid enterprise version)
  2. Since there is no way of making money, it is apparent they will pull a Plex and Enshittify once they have the noobs on board
  3. At least it uses docker, so you can export the images, but who knows when this will change
  4. It uses discord as forum. They cant even get themselves to use their own OS to install a matrix server on there.
  5. They are not even Private. Their FAQ literally says „They will try to limit data collection“

You want to use some shitty OS by some shitty company? Go sign your soul to Windows Server you lobotomite

Alors que certaines entreprises essayent de bénéficier d’une main d’œuvre gratuite, les jeunes eux, font pour la première fois l’expérience de l’ampleur du déterminisme social. Ceux qui n’ont pas de réseau familial sont condamnés à multiplier leurs demandes, souvent sans réponse, ou à accepter de passer deux semaines à effectuer des taches difficiles sans aucun lien avec leurs intérêts professionnels. Ceux dont le réseau parental est étoffé se voient, au contraire, offrir de vrais stages « d’observation » dans le confort d’entreprises prestigieuses.

Can Budget Web Design Meet Your E-Commerce Needs?


Selling online seems simple: list products, set prices, and let customers buy. But there's more to it than meets the eye.

If you're launching an online store with limited funds, you've likely asked: Can a cheap web design solution really support a full-fledged e-commerce business?

It's a valid question. "Cheap" often implies basic features or lower quality. But the answer depends on what "cheap" means to you, what your store requires, and how much you're willing to work around limitations.

What "Cheap" Web Design Involves


When people talk about cheap web design, they usually mean spending a few hundred dollars—or less if they're using a DIY platform or getting help from a friend.

This typically involves pre-built templates, standard functionality, and minimal customization. A cheap website designer often uses platforms like Wix, Shopify, or WordPress to keep costs low and deliver quickly.

That's not inherently bad. These tools are designed to handle e-commerce, even at an entry level. But they come with constraints. If you're okay with those, it can be a good starting point.

Why E-Commerce Gets Complicated


Selling online seems simple: list products, set prices, and let customers buy. But there's more to it than meets the eye.

Your store needs to handle browsing, product variations (like sizes or colors), secure payments, order confirmations, and shipping updates. You might also want features like discount codes, inventory tracking, or customer accounts. Each element adds complexity, and making them work seamlessly requires careful setup.

Cheap web design can struggle here. The platforms are capable, but the time and expertise needed to configure everything properly often go beyond what budget services include.

Where Budget Designs Can Fall Short


Low-cost designs often face a few common issues. Site speed is a big one—cheap sites can slow down as you add images or features, frustrating customers and hurting sales.

Mobile compatibility is another challenge. Many affordable sites aren't fully optimized for phones, leading to awkward navigation or checkout issues. With mobile shopping so prevalent, this can be a major problem.

Security is also a concern. Some cheap website designers skip essentials like SSL certificates or regular updates, leaving your store vulnerable to risks.

These problems can be fixed, but addressing them often requires effort that budget packages don't cover.

When Is It a Good Fit?


Cheap web design can work for small, straightforward stores. If you're selling a few items, don't need complex features, and are willing to handle some tasks yourself, it's often enough.

It's also great for testing an idea. If you're launching a side hustle or experimenting with a new product, a budget-friendly site lets you start without a big investment. Just keep your expectations realistic.

But if your store is the core of your business or you plan to scale quickly, a cheap solution may not keep up. Upgrading a basic site later can cost more than building it properly from the start.

Questions to Ask Before You Start


When choosing a cheap website designer or platform, ask specific questions. Will the site work well on mobile? Can it handle secure payments? Is it easy to manage products? What happens if something breaks?

Vague answers are a warning sign. Even a budget designer should be clear about what's included and what's not.

Also, think about post-launch support. Many affordable services end once the site goes live. If you're not comfortable managing updates or fixes yourself, that low price could lead to trouble later.

The Bottom Line


Cheap web design can support e-commerce, but it comes with trade-offs. How well it works depends on your store's complexity, your willingness to manage some tasks, and how much risk you're okay with.

For simple needs, it's often a decent starting point. But for a professional, reliable, and scalable store, spending a bit more upfront for a solid setup is usually smarter. Not extravagant—just secure, functional, and built to grow.

Start small if you must, but keep the long term in mind. A slow or glitchy site can cost you more than a slightly higher budget upfront.

August 29th, 1526, Mohács, Hungary.

The Battle of Mohács, was the end of the Kingdom of Hungary. In the year 1522 King Louis II of Hungary married Mary of Austria, creating an alliance between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire. Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent saw the alliance between the Jagiellonian and Habsburg houses through marriage as a threat to Ottoman domination over the Balkans. In early 1526 Suleiman gathered an army of 100k men and 300 cannons to invade Hungary, taking advantage of Hungary being in a weakened state from a civil war a few years earlier. In early spring the Ottomans invaded Hungary, the Hungarians initially used hit and run tactics on the advancing Ottomans. By early July the Ottomans approached the town of Mohács. By this point King Louis had assembled an army of 30k men and 85 cannons at Mohács. By late August the Ottomans arrived at Mohács. The Hungarians argued about a battle plan, but eventually deployed for battle. The Hungarians had cavalry on the left and right flanks, with a larger amount of cavalry on the left and infantry in the center.

By the morning of August 29th the Ottomans began the battle by sending light cavalry in an outflanking maneuver to skirmish with the Hungarians. Ottomans were then sent forward to construct a camp closer to Mohács. Pál Tomori a Hungarian commander observed the Ottomans constructing their camp and ordered his cavalry on the left flank to charge the Turks. Tomori sent word to Louis to attack after his charge was seeing some success against the Ottomans. The Hungarian center and right were slow to join the battle and by the time they did the remainder of the Ottoman forces joined the battle. Eventually the overwhelming numbers of the Ottomans caused the Hungarian cavalry to flee the battle, the infantry became surrounded and crushed. The Hungarians lost 14k men the Ottomans 2k. King Louis died in the retreat as well from falling off his horse and drowning in the Danube river.

The Hungarians had an additional 25k soldiers and mercenaries scattered throughout the kingdom, had Louis managed to unite these forces with his army and fought from the much more defensible Hungarian capital of Buda(Budapest), victory or a much more difficult and costly battle for the Ottomans may have been achieved. After the defeat at Mohács the Kingdom of Hungary was spilt, The HRE took the northwest section witch became Royal Hungary, the Eastern half became independent and became known as the Voivode of Transylvania, the Southern half Sulieman took for the Ottomans. It would be another 150+ years before the HRE defeated the Ottomans at a second Battle of Mohács and freed Hungary.
