Western barbarians still wonder why they are so hated globally:
“They handcuffed a child — then shot him.” #UK Special Forces veterans have broken years of silence to expose a pattern of war crimes by British elite troops in #Afghanistan and #Iraq. They describe detainees executed in cold blood, children murdered in their sleep, and wounded civilians finished off at close range — as revealed in a BBC Panorama investigation.
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.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. 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.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

Une jeune femme a affirmé avoir été violemment agressée à Paris après avoir porté un t-shirt en solidarité avec la #Palestine. Les faits se seraient déroulés le 11 mai, dans une rue de la capitale. “Une femme attablée m’a lancé qu’elle avait envie de m’étrangler à cause de mon t-shirt ‘Stand for #Gaza’”, témoigne la victime. En filmant la scène, elle dit avoir été surprise par deux personnes qui l’ont immobilisée avant de lui asséner un coup de tête au visage. “Je suis partie à l’hôpital, le visage en sang”, raconte-t-elle, évoquant des points de suture et un profond état de choc.
Dans un message adressé à l’eurodéputée Rima Hassan, la victime indique avoir porté plainte et sollicite un soutien juridique. La jeune femme déplore qu'afficher son soutien à la Palestine dans l’espace public est devenu un acte à haut risque en France, dans un contexte où la dénonciation du #génocide à Gaza orchestré avec la complicité des dirigeants occidentaux, se heurte à une instrumentalisation croissante de l’ #antisémitisme. “Porter un t-shirt aux couleurs de la Palestine n’est et ne sera jamais un acte antisémite”, affirme-t-elle, dénonçant une tentative de bâillonner la solidarité.

Nationalisation, emplois… On vous résume la passe d’armes entre Emmanuel MACRON et Sophie BINET
La secrétaire générale de la CGT était la première personnalité invitée à interroger le président de la République, mardi 13 mai 2025, sur « TF1 ». Le débat a été animé, voici ce qu’il faut en retenir.
Pour entamer l’émission à laquelle il participe mardi 13 mai 2025 sur le plateau de TF1, Emmanuel Macron sait qu’il va « être interpellé par des Français », lui présente Gilles Bouleau. Les échanges avec la première personnalité invitée, Sophie Binet, secrétaire générale de la CGT, donnent droit à une véritable passe d’armes.
Nationalisation ou pas d’ArcelorMittal en France ?
Ils s’écharpent en particulier autour d’une éventuelle nationalisation d’ArcelorMittal en France, réclamée par la CGT et par les salariés du géant de l’acier, alors que ce dernier a reçu d’importantes aides publiques mais vient d’annoncer 636 suppressions d’emplois dans l’Hexagone – dont la moitié de licenciements, précise Emmanuel Macron. Dans l’usine de Loire-Atlantique à Indre, 89 postes sont menacés. « Monsieur le Président, cette situation-là, c’est le résultat de votre politique », affirme la secrétaire générale de la CGT, estimant que rien n’a été fait.

Emmanuel Macron face aux Français sur TF1: politique intérieure, Ukraine et débat avec la CGT
Lors de l’émission spéciale «Emmanuel Macron – Les défis de la France» diffusée sur TF1 le 13 mai 2025, le chef de l’État a tenté de répondre aux critiques sur son bilan national, sa politique étrangère et a affronté la secrétaire générale de la CGT, Sophie Binet, dans un échange musclé sur les licenciements et la réforme des retraites.
Diffusée à 20h10 ce 13 mai sur TF1, l’émission « Les défis de la France » a vu Emmanuel Macron répondre en direct à Gilles Bouleau, à Darius Rochebin, à des membres de la société civile et à plusieurs figures politiques et syndicales. L’objectif affiché : « redonner de la perspective ». Mais les réactions contrastées, tant sur les réseaux sociaux que sur le plateau, montrent la distance croissante entre l’Élysée et une partie de la population.
Sur la situation intérieure, Emmanuel Macron a reconnu que « le pays se caractérise par un pessimisme sur lui-même » tout en défendant son bilan: gestion des crises, baisse du chômage et relance industrielle. « On a repris du muscle », a-t-il affirmé, malgré les critiques des micro-trottoirs diffusés en début d’émission, où des citoyens dénonçaient un président « déconnecté » qui « ruine le pays ». Macron s’est voulu rassurant: « Je ne dis pas que tout a été bien fait ces huit dernières années» , tout en mettant en avant les créations d’emplois et les politiques de transition écologique.
Conflit en Ukraine et posture militaire française
Concernant l’Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron a maintenu la ligne française d’un soutien sans engagement direct. « On a décidé d’aider l’Ukraine, mais de ne jamais rentrer dans une escalade », a-t-il déclaré, assurant que les Occidentaux « ne veulent pas déclencher de troisième conflit mondial ». À propos des avoirs russes gelés, il a reconnu qu’il n’y avait « pas de cadre légal » pour les utiliser. « Ce n’est pas une bonne idée aujourd’hui », a-t-il ajouté. Le président a aussi évoqué la possibilité de « nouvelles sanctions contre la Russie », en coordination avec les États-Unis, si aucun cessez-le-feu n’était respecté.
Si les Européens veulent rester libres, il faut se mettre en situation de s'armer, d'être solidaires et de dissuader, souligne le président français
Sur le terrain militaire, Emmanuel Macron a insisté sur le « réveil géopolitique » et sur l’adaptation à une « économie de guerre ». Il a mentionné le doublement du budget de la Défense à l'horizon 2030 et la hausse des cadences de production d’armement. Il a rappelé que la France possédait « la seule armée européenne indépendante » et n’a pas exclu d’ouvrir des discussions sur la dissuasion nucléaire avec d’autres pays, comme la Pologne.
Sur le plan économique international, il a vivement critiqué la politique douanière de Donald Trump, l’accusant de nuire à la croissance américaine. « L’Europe vit une crise industrielle, aggravée par la concurrence déloyale asiatique et les décisions de Washington », a dénoncé le président, affirmant vouloir « se battre avec l’administration américaine pour revenir à la situation antérieure ».
Affrontement avec Sophie Binet sur l’industrie et les retraites
L’échange le plus tendu a opposé Emmanuel Macron à la secrétaire générale de la CGT, Sophie Binet. Cette dernière a interpellé le président sur les plans sociaux massifs en France, notamment celui d’ArcelorMittal, où 600 suppressions de postes sont prévues. « Allez-vous nationaliser ArcelorMittal ? », a-t-elle lancé. Le chef de l’État a refusé: « Ce serait dépenser des milliards d’euros (...). La réponse, c’est une politique européenne qui protège notre acier ». Macron a défendu son action, rappelant la création de 150 000 emplois industriels entre 2017 et 2024, mais Binet a rétorqué: « Encore une fois, vous refusez d’affronter les multinationales ».
Sur la réforme des retraites, le président a fermé la porte à tout référendum. « La réponse est non », a-t-il tranché. Selon lui, cette réforme est indispensable pour éviter des déficits croissants et permettrait d’économiser 17 milliards d’euros. Sophie Binet a dénoncé une injustice sociale et proposé de sanctionner les entreprises qui ne respectent pas l’égalité salariale entre hommes et femmes afin de financer les retraites.

After all that, the Max streaming platform will be re-rebranded back to HBO Max this summer. It's 'the plot everyone's been waiting for,' a cheeky update on the app says.
I always thought "Max" is what "Cinemax" was transformed into. And HBO & Cinemax were always like the Crips and the Bloods of cable TV so when HBO decided to rebrand as "Max" that was frankly very confusing.

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 16 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.
With me today is Cory Doctorow! You might know Cory from such classics as the term "enshittification" that he coined during one of his many presentations. But besides having catch terms that even your grandparents can agree with about today's big tech platforms, Cory is also a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He's had a few books that us on the open social web might enjoy such as "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" and "The Internet Con : How to Seize the Means of Computation". Cory works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, a visiting professor for numerous colleges. Cory holds and multiple honorary Doctorates. And might I add, I consider Cory to be one of the most charismatic and vocal advocates for digital privacy rights and I am claiming he is now King of the nerds. And there's just so much more to say about Cory, but I recommend everyone just go look up his Wikipedia, because if I have to talk about all of his accomplishments we'll run out of time. Cory thank you so much for joining me and I'm just blown away and honored to be able to speak to you.
i have a friend — she's an old lady born and raised here in the western north carolina mountains. she hates computers, yes, but she's been willing to learn a lot and quickly after joining a big signal group chat that our shared local community uses to keep in touch.
aside from memeing with the best of them in the group chat, she also maintains a large fish pond outside the house she built herself. this despite being in her 70s. she's an inspiration.
she has a landline. it works great, and the landline phone hardware works great with her hearing aids. she's had it for years. spectrum has a monoply in our area so the landline and her cable internet service is with spectrum.
she got a cell phone a few years ago. she got a smartphone basically because she had to to do basic life tasks, including joining the big signal group chat. at first she just used it on wifi, but quickly she decided she wanted to be able to use the phone everywhere so she got a cell phone plan from spectrum because they were already her ISP. spectrum mobile uses the verizon network — famed for its good rural coverage.
this is where things started to go haywire.
all her accounts on websites, things like email and bank accounts and health insurance and healthcare providers, they started trying to send her SMS messages in order to let her get into her accounts.
the SMS codes don't work, because they don't come. she doesn't have cell service at her house. it's up in the mountains, sure, but it's not isolated. she lives 20 minutes from downtown asheville and she has lots of neighbors on her road.
she turned on wifi calling on her phone. now she could receive SMS messages from friends and family, but 2FA codes still weren't coming through. i did some digging, and it turns out messages from 5 digit shortcodes often aren't supported over wifi calling. sometimes they are, but in her case they're clearly not. she has a current, stock iphone. she's using the spectrum-provided internet hardware. she knows how to use her phone.
i did more digging — it turns out some ISP-provided landline services support receiving SMS messages to the landline, and then a computer voice reads them out to you. “we don't offer that service” the spectrum chat told us.
some of these accounts can likely be converted to using TOTP 2FA rather than SMS 2FA. this is good, but you have to get in to begin with in order to turn that on. so what my friend has to do is:
make a list, over time, of the websites that she's locked out of because of SMS 2FA
not be able to use those sites at home the whole time she's making the list
schedule a meetup with a friend like me
drive to town to meet the friend
sit down and systematically go through the list of websites and convert them to TOTP
inevitably discover that some of them don't support TOTP
try and contact those companies and explain that they need to turn off SMS 2FA on her account so that she can use their healthcare/banking/email/whatever service from her home
discover that it's not possible to talk to a company anymore in 2025
other options available to her include
port her cellphone number to a VOIP provider that does support receiving SMS from shortcodes over wifi
spend hundreds of dollars setting up a cell tower signal booster outside her house
move
these are all ridiculous options that shouldn't be necessary in order to log in to a website.
if you look at the spectrum mobile coverage map where my friend lives, it shows she has perfect coverage at her house. and all her neighbors do too. all the way up the holler in fact!
this is simply false. she usually doesn't even have service 100 meters down the road.
another friend of mine who also lives out in the county, a millenial, once said that “SMS 2FA is the bane of [her] existence.” the valley she's in isn't even that deep.
and TOTP, the obvious alternative solution, is still pretty sorry. you have to download an app to do it, it's not just a capability that a phone has by default. and then when trying to find an app to use for it, you're presented with a multitude of high-stakes choices, and often pretty technical explanations if you start internet searching about which app to use.
i understand why SMS 2FA is so ubiquitous. when it works, the UX is good, nontechnical users intuitively understand it, and it's usually secure enough.
but there are 1.1 million people in these western north carolina mountains, 25 million in the rest of the appalachians, and many millions more in the mountain west and pacific ranges.
we have internet, but we have F-tier cell service — what are we supposed to do?

I'll be talking about my unconventional journey into building a SaaS for utilities district management with #Django (and, of course, Python).
Aujourd'hui, la Cour de justice européenne se prononcera sur le refus d'Ursula von der Leyen de divulguer les messages WhatsApp avec le PDG de Pfizer, Albert Bourla, au sujet d'un accord de 35 milliards d’Euros sur un vaccin COVID pour 1,8 milliard de doses. Des allégations de corruption, de manque de transparence et de contournement des règles de l'UE en matière de marchés publics ont hanté son mandat de présidente de la Commission européenne. Ancienne ministre allemande de la Défense, von der Leyen a été mise en examen pour avoir « attribué » plus de 100 millions d’euros de contrats par SMS privés, supprimé des messages lors d'enquêtes et contourné les procédures d'appel d'offres publiques. Le scandale du «Pfizergate», associé aux 4 milliards d’euros de vaccins gaspillés, illustre sa mauvaise gestion de notre argent et un conflit d’intérêts manifestement grave. Voyons si l'UE conserve un peu de conscience et de dignité. Ou si la Cour se laisse faire.
Ernest Hemingway: There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. 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.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. 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.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
#France #Macronie : on s’enfonce toujours plus, Diaspsera visé un de ces jours…

Nous apprenons, grâce au Figaro ce matin, que l’ #Arcom (Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique) vient de confier le statut de « signaleur de confiance » au #CRIF (le Conseil représentatif des Institutions Juives de France). Ce dont s’est aussitôt réjoui son président : « Ce travail de signalement fait partie de l’ADN du Crif sur l’antisémitisme, le négationnisme et par extension sur toutes les formes de haine que les internautes peuvent être amenés à rencontrer sur les réseaux sociaux ». Le règlement de l’Arcom précise que ces « signaleurs » sont des « organisations reconnues pour leur expertise dans la détection, l’identification et la notification de contenus illicites ». Jusqu’à présent, ils étaient six et tous centrés sur la protection des mineurs, la lutte contre la piraterie audiovisuelle, la cybercriminalité, la cyberviolence ou les addictions et la défense des consommateurs.
En confiant cette mission à une association religieuse et aux prises de positions controversées, en particulier alignée sur la protection du gouvernement d’extrême droite génocidaire d’ #Israël, l’Arcom franchit une borne et ouvre une sérieuse brèche dans ce qui lui restait d’impartialité. Pour le Crif, l’ #antisionisme est un #antisémitisme. Ses prises de positions, surtout depuis le #7octobre 2023, ont constamment évolué quant à la définition de l’antisémitisme et du #négationnisme. En confiant à ses militants qui criminalisent plus vite qu’ils ne défendent les journalistes qui tentent d’informer sur Gaza, l’Arcom manque à la plus élémentaire des sagesses. Ceux qui vont maintenant remettre en cause la doxa qui voudrait que tout palestinien et par extension tout soutien à la cause palestinienne soit devenu un antisémite ont du souci à se faire. Question : à qui s’adresser à l’Arcom si on pense que le Crif attise la #haine en ligne ?
Très difficile à censurer, j'y crois pas trop.... imposer le blocage d'un compte ou d'une instance D* par un autre me parait plutôt facile. Une petite menace à l'admin et en quelques heures c'est fait.
Earlier: Approving this bill would do a disservice to the families who value their own children’s curiosity and education, including their kids’ ability to access books needed for assigned reading or for research using nonfiction sources more advanced than those found in the children’s or teen sections of the library. texasobserver.org/texas-legisl…
