Karim Khan, procureur en chef de la Cour pénale internationale, est en congé temporaire. C'est ce qu'a rapporté l'agence de presse Reuters, s'appuyant sur des sources proches de la Cour. Khan fait actuellement l’objet d’une enquête pour inconduite sexuelle présumée. Cette enquête est presque terminée. La CPI annoncera officiellement le départ de Khan plus tard dans la journée lors d'une conférence de presse, rapporte Reuters. On ne sait pas encore qui prendra la place de Khan pendant son congé.

Do not trust China. China is asshole.

AKshully. It isn't the panels but the inverters to convert DC to AC and put the power on the grid that is the problem. These components are connected to the internet so that they can receive updates, BUT...
Additional, undocumented channels of communication, including radio, have been found in the equipment. This could allow China to spy on our power grid.

#Iceland tested a reduced workweek 2014-2019:

”A pair of trials covering 1.3 per cent of the Icelandic workforce revealed that slashing weekly hours led to better employee #wellbeing, with less stress and burnout, while #productivity stayed the same or improved. The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's #Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide

"Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn't consider it genocide?" said one researcher. "No."

from #CommonDreams
Julia Conley
May 15, 2025

"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.

"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

"Tl;dr: Cyber criminals bribed and recruited a group of rogue overseas support agents to steal Coinbase customer data to facilitate social engineering attacks. These insiders abused their access to customer support systems to steal the account data for a small subset of customers. No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse customers who were tricked into sending funds to the attacker. We’re cooperating closely with law enforcement to pursue the harshest penalties possible and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack."

Quotes

  • 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.

Déclaration du négociateur en chef de la #Russie, Vladimir #Medinsky.
1. Dans les prochains jours aura lieu un échange de prisonniers (certains affirment que 1 000 prisonniers russes seront échangés contre 1 000 prisonniers ukrainiens).
2. La partie russe a pris note de la demande ukrainienne pour une rencontre #Zelensky - #Poutine.
3. Les deux parties ont convenu que chacune des équipes de négociateurs va présenter sa vision d'un possible prochain cessez-le-feu.

En Turquie:

Les négociations entre la Russie et l'Ukraine ont duré moins de deux heures.
La Russie a avancé une série d'exigences que les ukrainiens qualifient d'"irréalistes" et qui vont bien au-delà des conditions précédemment discutées, selon Reuters, notamment le retrait des ukrainiens de territoires actuellement sous leur contrôle, condition préalable à tout accord de cessez-le-feu.
👉 La Russie demande le retrait des troupes ukrainiennes des deux Républiques, Donetsk et Lougansk, et des deux régions, Kherson et Zaporijjia, qu'elle a intégrées par référendum à la Fédération de Russie.

Message antécédent:
Avec plus de 24 heures de retard, la rencontre entre l'Ukraine et la Fédération de Russie a commencé, à Istamboul.
En tant que pays hôte, la Turquie fait office de médiateur.
La délégation russe aurait refusé que les Etats-Unis participent aux négociations.
La Maison Blanche a annoncé qu'une rencontre personnelle entre Trump et Poutine aurait lieu très prochainement.
Zelensky est venu hier et Trump n'est pas venu parce que Poutine n'est pas venu.
En marge de la rencontre, des émissaires de la France, la Grande-Bretagne et l'Allemagne sont présents pour "conseiller" l'Ukraine.
Dix des douze membres de la délégation ukrainienne sont soit des militaires, soit des représentants des services spéciaux.
Parmi eux, le vice-président du Service de sécurité de l'Ukraine (SBU), Alexander Poklad, que les média russes accusent d'occuper le rôle d'exécuteur de meurtres politiques au sein dudit service, y compris sur le territoire de la Fédération de Russie. Il serait celui qui a organisé Boutcha, pour perturber les précédents accords d'Istamboul et c'est lui qui aurait tué Denis Kireyev, membre du groupe de négociation ukrainien.

#Sweden is less than 10 signatures short of their national target on this EU petition against #ConversionTherapy.

#Denmark is about 2,000 signatures short.

#Italy is about 5,000 signatures short.

The petition closes tomorrow, so the other EU countries seem unlikely to make it at this point, but those 3 aren't completely out of reach. Please consider sharing the link if you have followers in the EU.

Ihr seid ganz schön leise dafür, dass Deutschland der zweitgrößte Waffenlieferant und politischer, diplomatischer und juristischer Unterstützer einer Regierung ist, die unter euren Augen die systematische Aushungerung und Tötung von Kindern, Müttern, Vätern erzwingt.

Ich interpretiere das eher als an die Zeit gerichtet. Dass man eine "Debatte" und wohl auch ihren "Ausgang" als maßgeblich betrachtet und sie endlos breit tritt, statt die Einhaltung des Völkerrechts einzufordern ist feige und fehlgeleitet.

Wer sich beim Massaker in Gaza ernsthaft hin- und hergerissen fühlt und bloß so etwas hier als Beweggrund fürs Eingreifen formulieren kann:

»Dass im Gazastreifen Zehntausende Menschen zu verhungern drohen, ist gleichermaßen eine humanitäre Katastrophe wie ein politischer Skandal.«

… hat ein schwer gestörtes Verhältnis zu gleich mehreren internationalen Abkommen zum humanitären Völkerrecht.

In und an Gaza werden Kriegsverbrechen verübt, es ist keine Naturkatastrophe. Verhungernde Kinder sind auch kein politischer "Skandal".
