Downing Street has urged people not to take part in a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action as police warned they would arrest anyone breaking terrorism laws.

Palestine Action has been banned under terrorism laws, and this weekend a large event protesting against its proscription has been organised by the group Defend Our Juries.

Transports de Demain


Une bande dessinรฉe รฉvoquant un futur imaginaire des transports publics en rรฉgion liรฉgeoise

En 1987, j'avais rรฉalisรฉ une bande dessinรฉe qui imaginait ce que pourrait รชtre le futur des transports publics en rรฉgion liรฉgeoise entre 1988 et l'an 2000...

Pourquoi la rรฉgion liรฉgeoise?


Cela se passe dans la rรฉgion liรฉgeoise car j'y habitais et j'avais de grands projets pour la ville... On sait ce qu'ils sont devenus... mais cette BD est la base de mon travail de stage trois ans plus tard... On peut dire que j'ai de la suite dans les idรฉes...

Comparaison entre la (science-)fiction et la rรฉalitรฉ


Le transport secondaire par Mรฉtro, Tram et Bus a รฉtรฉ rรฉgionalisรฉ au dรฉbut des annรฉes 1990 et les STI ont รฉtรฉ intรฉgrรฉes ร  la sociรฉtรฉ rรฉgionale qui a succรฉdรฉ ร  l'entreprise nationale SNCV. Seule la STIB est restรฉe la STIB. La STIL, STIC et STIV (Liรจge, Charleroi et Verviers) ont รฉtรฉ intรฉgrรฉes dans le TEC lui-mรชme subdivisรฉ en 5 entitรฉs TEC-Hainaut, TEC-Charleroi, TEC-Brabant Wallon, TEC-Namur-Luxembourg et TEC-Liรจge-Verviers. De Lijn a quant ร  elle absorbรฉ la MIVA et la MIVG (Antwerpen/Anvers et Gent/Gand), elle a optรฉ pour une structure proche de la dรฉfunte SNCV qui avait fรชtรฉ ses 100 ans en 1985... Les lignes vicinales arrivant ร /partant de Bruxelles ont รฉtรฉ intรฉgrรฉes dans le TEC ou De Lijn.

Pour ce qui concerne Liรจge, si le T.A.U. avait รฉtรฉ promis aux Liรฉgeois par De Croo en 1985 : "Le T.A.U. doit venir et viendra ร  Liรจge" clamait le ministre libรฉral flamand, surnommรฉ le fossoyeur du rail du fait que c'est sous son ministรจre que fut appliquรฉ le plus grand plan de restructuration de la SNCB avec la suppression de 232 arrรชts et de nombreux tronรงons de ligne... Et en 1987 lorsque je rรฉalisai cette BD trรจs optimiste, la rรฉalitรฉ รฉtait plutรดt, comme en 2025, aux รฉconomies tous azimuts... L'histoire se rรฉpรจte dรฉcidรฉment...

De T.A.U. aucune trace, si ce n'est des brochures de l'รฉpoque, cet รฉniรจme projet de transport urbain de masse ayant รฉtรฉ abandonnรฉ face aux coรปts exorbitants qu'il aurait engendrรฉ... Finalement et aprรจs bien des palabres... et des retards endรฉmiques, une ligne de tramway moderne a รฉtรฉ inaugurรฉe en 2025! Il aura fallu quarante ans pour doter Liรจge d'un moyen de transport moderne.

Malheureusement, cette ligne risque de rester longtemps l'unique ligne pour des raisons d'รฉconomies budgรฉtaires... Sous l'ancienne lรฉgislature, il avait รฉtรฉ dรฉcidรฉ de prolonger la ligne de chaque cรดtรฉ vers Seraing et vers Herstal ce qui revenait ร  crรฉer un axe ferrรฉ un peu dans l'esprit de ce qui avait รฉtรฉ conรงu pour le mรฉtro automatisรฉ. Plus question non plus de faire une boucle urbaine (qui aurait suivi l'itinรฉraire de l'ancienne ligne 4 bien connue des liรฉgeois)...

Dans la bande dessinรฉe, c'est un vรฉritable rรฉseau de tramways modernes et de mรฉtro qui voit le jour pour une desserte efficace par transport public... La ville restera sans doute encore longtemps congestionnรฉe par les nombreuses voitures qui y pรฉnรจtrent encore et toujours... L'avenir nous dira si le tramway tiendra ses promesses... de dรฉsengorger quelque peu la ville. Si l'on regarde ร  Luxembourg-ville, de l'autre cรดtรฉ de la frontiรจre, le tramway et l'amรฉlioration continue de l'offre alliรฉe ร  une gratuitรฉ nationale ne semble pas dรฉcoller les automobilistes de leur siรจge...

Au niveau de la SNCB, peu des choses imaginรฉes ne sont devenues rรฉalitรฉ si ce n'est un semblant de rรฉseau suburbain de trains S mais aux frรฉquences famรฉliques dans beaucoup de cas, peu de nouveaux arrรชts si ce n'est la rรฉouverture de la ligne 125 A entre Liรจge-Guillemins et Flรฉmalle-Haute par Ougrรฉe et Seraing. L'ancienne ligne du plateau de Herve a รฉtรฉ utilisรฉe comme amorce de la ligne ร  grande vitesse vers l'Allemagne, il y a donc peu de chances que cette ligne revive un jour... Sur la ligne de Visรฉ, il n'y a toujours pas de projet de nouveaux/de rรฉouvertures d'arrรชts... Et la ligne Ans-Liers, remise en รฉtat et รฉlectrifiรฉe dans les annรฉes 1970 dans le cadre d'un projet de RER dรฉjร , a รฉtรฉ dรฉferrรฉe et est aujourd'hui un RAVeL (voie verte).

Conclusion


Bref, prรจs de quarante ans aprรจs cette utopie et malgrรฉ un changement consรฉquent en matiรจre de transport public induit par le changement climatique et la nรฉcessitรฉ de dรฉcarboner nos sociรฉtรฉs, les projets et visions d'avenir manquent toujours autant en 2025 qu'elles manquaient en 1987...

Aurons-nous un jour des politiciens qui ont une vision ร  long terme? Poser la question, c'est un peu y rรฉpondre et cette rรฉponse semble de plus en plus nรฉgative... Les prioritรฉs ont changรฉ ร  la lueur de regains de tensions gรฉopolitique qui nous ont fait entrรฉ dans une sorte d'hystรฉrie collective et les milliards d'euros, les centaines de milliards mรชme coulent ร  flots mais pour les armes et non pour une sociรฉtรฉ oรน se renforce la cohรฉsion et un meilleur partage du territoire...

Les temps changeront encore ร  l'avenir... Espรฉrons que nous deviendrons plus sage dans un avenir proche... Utopiste un jour, utopiste toujours!

Finally some IDF soldiers were detained and interrogated while on vacation in Europe over being war criminals.

Taking nearly two years of a televised genocide for a couple genocide troops to even have to face an interrogation should tell you how much the West actually cares about human rights.

Why do I feel so emotional when I listen to music from my teenage years?

Deep in your memory, your brain has created a playlist of music from your teenage years. Even though life has moved on, hearing that music now likely still brings up some really powerful emotions.

Why?

Well, as with anything to do with the brain and with emotions, itโ€™s hard to say for sure. But itโ€™s likely a bit to do with evolution, and a bit to do with some key neurological changes that occur in the teenage years.

I've used powershell in previous jobs and if you learn it really well I cannot deny it is super powerful.

For a college project, a friend of mine somehow made a hexadecimal file dumper with it, with formatting and everything (think like what you would see in wireshark) in one, reasonably long, line of powershell.

However I'm just not a big fan of it personally for syntactical reasons (even with the syntax being super logical) and much prefer bash, or other unix-like native shells. I've been thinking about taking zsh for a spin recently to see what it's like.

Itโ€™s where I can bring together the wisdom of the past and present to create something harmonious and wholesome. I do with pottery what I wish we could do on the grandest scale. I look at this pot and it just glows so warmly, radiating love, gratitude, peace and alignment. Itโ€™s tangible evidence that these things are here with us all of the time even when the world seems like the darkest void.

Georgia congresswoman declared in an interview that she feels the GOP has lost touch with its base

When avowed Nazis march the streets and intimidate passerby, our politicians do not care. Our politicians do nothing to stop it.

But when college kids dissent against empire, against a holocaust in miniature that is unfolding before our very eyes in real time, then that's the most unforgivable act of antisemitism ever and must be crushed by the police with any means necessary.

The people protesting against the mass murder in Gaza are exactly the same kinds of people who would have opposed the Nazis and the Spanish fascists in the 30s. I can see it in their conviction. And even though I have not attended a pro Palestine protest, I am completely aligned with their cause: to stop the slaughter of a people by a settler colonialist and far right military force.

The "antisemitism crisis on college campuses" is a hoax that is being used by the state to conceal its core function: to defend the ruling bourgeoisie from its enemies.

This is completely transparent, even to the people who perpetuate this narrative.

How to become a Radical is 2025: (Pick any 2)

1-Oppose Corruption
2-Oppose Censorship
3-Oppose State Surveillance
3-Oppose Mass medical experimentation
4-Oppose preemptive military interventions abroad
5-Ask the wrong sorts of questions
6-Remember anything for longer than two psy-op cycles
7-Find members of the opposite sex attractive
8-Display a preference for your own in-group (thatโ€™s not on the approved list)
9-Desire less garbage in the food
10-Live a life your grandparents would recognize

Isnโ€™t genocide denial a crime in Germany? Does that only apply to one genocide? (The Holocaust?) Or does it also apply to, say, the Armenian genocide too? And, if so, does that it mean that the only genocide it doesnโ€™t apply to is Israelโ€™s genocide of the Palestinian people?
