Alle reden darüber, dass Frauen raus aus der Teilzeit sollen, mehr arbeiten, mehr in die Sozialkassen einzahlen. Die armen Frauen würden daran gehindert zu arbeiten, weil sie Kinder haben.


Was aber, wenn diese Frauen gar nicht MEHR arbeiten wollen? Wenn sie sich gern um ihre Kinder kümmern? Und das eine ebenso große (wenn nicht größere) Leistung ist, wie morgens ins Büro zu fahren? Und unser System das gar nicht anerkennt, sondern einfach mehr Steuer- und Abgabensklaven sucht?

Donald Burgess was assaulted by PC Stephen Smith and PC Rachel Comotto after officers responded to a call at his care home in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, on 21 June 2022.

we're talking about the same government that has been putting literal roach poison in the tap water for decades, says stuff like glyphosate and aspartame and other toxic chemicals are safe, and recommends people eat refined starch and seed oils, and is spraying us with chemtrails.

That the resolution of the Zurich Congress demanded that May Day should be a 'demonstration of the determined will of the before the war. They did everything to discourage and thwart joint international action of the proletariat, and decisions of international congresses which did not conform with their ideas remained mere paper resolutions.

@Peaceandprosperity not driving. Am down 100% but still am technically employed so MM is not an option. I should be returning to work by end of June and will be required to take a drug test. Nausea so far hasn't been an issue. Only pain is coming from the radiation burning out the cancer on the back of my tongue and that is manageable with ibuprofen backed up by an occasional hydrocodone pill.

How to explain Lido Shuffle to an Extraterrestrial Visiting Earth for the First Time
To explain "Lido Shuffle" to extraterrestrials without cultural references, we can break down the song's themes and narrative in a straightforward manner. Here’s how you might present it:

___

Overview of "Lido Shuffle":
The song tells the story of a character named Lido, who is on a journey that involves risk, excitement, and a desire for freedom. It captures the essence of a life filled with adventure and the pursuit of something greater, often at the cost of stability.

Key Elements:
1. Character Introduction:
- Lido is a person who has just left a place (referred to as a "shack") where he may have felt trapped or limited. This signifies a desire to escape from a mundane or restrictive life.
2. The Journey:
- Lido makes a stop at a bar, which is a social gathering place where people often come to relax and enjoy themselves. This stop is brief, indicating that he is focused on his journey rather than lingering in one place.
3. Ambition and Risk:
- Lido is depicted as someone who is willing to take risks for the chance of reward. He is involved in a series of tasks or "jobs" that he believes will lead to success. The phrase "one more job oughta get it" suggests he is close to achieving his goal but is not quite there yet.
4. Fun and Consequences:
- Lido enjoys his life and seeks fun, but he also faces challenges. He receives a warning ("Toe the line or blow it"), indicating that there are rules or consequences he must adhere to. This adds tension to his story, as he must balance his desire for enjoyment with the need to stay out of trouble.
5. The Concept of "One More":
- The repeated phrase "one more for the road" signifies a common human tendency to want one last experience or chance before stopping or changing direction. It reflects a desire to savor life and take risks, even when aware of potential dangers.
6. Conclusion:
- Ultimately, Lido's story is about the pursuit of happiness, the thrill of adventure, and the inevitable challenges that come with living a life full of risks. It captures a moment in time where one must decide whether to continue pursuing their dreams or to settle down.

#Insomnia gives you the opportunity to some incredibly crazy things sometimes.

For example, over the past several days I have been experimenting with #ChatGPT. More because I was bored nothing more. And I wanted to see how good some of these newer models were with #writing. #Fiction.

Now, I #write. Fiction. #ScienceFiction mainly. Although I've dabbled into other more mainstream fiction #genres too except fantasy & horror. Other than #Grammarly and #ProWritingAid I've never really used #AI for anything other than to help me sound less snarky when replying to Reddit comments. A look through my history here and you can see just how unfiltered I am about topics I care passionately and deeply about.

But I've never used AI to actually *#write* a #story, from start to finish. At least not until now.

And since I'm usually a *#pantser* when I write, I just started with a simple #prompt and a simple #premise.

And holy fuck. Holy-holy fuck.

I mean, the AI didn't write it all by itself. I had to prompt it, guide it. Even fix some glaring and stupid mistakes (AI really has no cognitive understanding of the real world right now.)

And of the 40,000+ words it's written just about every single paragraph needs to be #edited. Heavily in places too. The overuse of #em-dashes is real y'all. I use em-dashes, but I don't use them in every fucking paragraph!

But the foundation is there.

The premise is unique. The story is unique. The characters are unique. And they have a depth to them that frankly has blown my mind.

I am both incredibly excited and very scared for what comes next but only a fool would take something AI has created and #publish it without #editing whether it's a Reddit comment, an Email, a social network post, or a tome.

Meyer Habib : l'impunité garantie pour une haine raciale épanouie.


Depuis des années et d'autant plus depuis 18 mois, Meyer #Habib c'est le #suprémacisme décomplexé, la #xénophobie bien portante et heureuse, l'apologie du #génocide et du #terrorisme en toute détente. « Cancer », « barbares », « chiens » et « sauvages » sont autant d'insultes utilisées par l'ex députés pour désigner les Palestiniens. Une #déshumanisation visant tout un peuple, traduisant une idéologie profondément raciste : il y a bien, dans ces propos, une hiérarchisation raciale.

En décembre #2023, à l'Assemblée Nationale, un député pose la question : « Qui peut douter maintenant des véritables objectifs de guerre du gouvernement #Netanyahou qui, après le nord, bombarde le sud de la bande de #Gaza, là où il avait précisément demandé aux Palestiniens de se réfugier ? » à la ministre Catherine Colonna et à deux reprises, Meyer Habib prononce : « Et ce n’est pas fini ! ». Par la suite,Yael Braun Pivet refusera la levée de l'immunité parlementaire de Meyer Habib. Elle n'était visiblement pas dérangée le moins du monde par cette apologie de crimes de guerre, elle, qui portait un pin's en soutien à un gouvernement génocidaire.

Puis pour nier les crimes du #colonialisme sioniste, rien de tel que le négationnisme : « Un juif ne sera jamais un colon en Judée ». Pour un puriste si dévoué à l'idéologie sioniste, Meyer Habib n'a visiblement jamais lu Theodor #Herzl, l'un des pères fondateurs du #sionisme politique qui théorisait déjà à la fin du XIXe siècle : la #colonisation, la #déportation et l' #occupation. Alors en voici un passage : " Lorsque nous occuperons la terre, nous apporterons des bénéfices immédiats à l'État qui nous reçoit. Il faut exproprier en douceur, sur la propriété privée des domaines qui nous a été confié. (....) Nous essaierons de faire traverser la frontière à la population sans le sou en lui procurant un emploi dans les pays de transit tout en lui refusant tout emploi dans notre propre pays. (...) Les propriétaires viendront à nos côtés. Tant le processus d’expropriation que l’expulsion des pauvres doivent être menés avec discrétion et circonspection. Laissons les propriétaires de biens immobiliers croire qu'ils nous trompent, en nous vendant des choses plus chères qu'elles ne valent. Mais en retour, nous ne leur vendrons rien du tout. (...) L'expropriation volontaire sera accomplie par nos agents secrets. La Compagnie paierait des prix excessifs. (...) Nous vendrons alors uniquement aux Juifs, et tous les biens immobiliers seront échangés uniquement entre Juifs." (...) "Si le propriétaire souhaite vendre la propriété, nous aurons le droit de la racheter à notre prix initialement fixé."

Pour justifier le #génocide en cours, Meyer Habib multipliera les arguments les plus fallacieux : « Regardez notre Marseillaise : aux armes citoyens. Ils égorgent nos fils et nos compagnes. C’est exactement ce qu’il s’est arrivé. Alors, à un moment donné, oui, aux armes citoyens. Les Israéliens n’ont plus le choix ». « #Israël doit se défendre, doit détruire ses barbares, doit détruire ses sauvages », dit Meyer Habib aux micros après la projection du film de 43 minutes sur les massacres du #7octobre, diffusé à l’Assemblée nationale. « Je crois aujourd’hui que tant qu’il y a de la vie, y’a de l’espoir. Même si c’est avec des sauvages ». Le droit d'Israël à se défendre est toujours mis en avant par Habib mais jamais il n'évoque les 76 ans de violation du droit international commise par l'état Hébreu, de déplacements forcés de millions de personnes, l' #apartheid, les #tortures, 56 années d’occupation, 16 années de blocus de Gaza. Il ne sert à rien de débattre avec les défenseurs d'Israël. On ne discute pas avec des raclures xénophobes qui normalisent le fait de tuer des dizaines de milliers de personnes pour en éliminer une seule. Ce combat contre le "terrorisme" n'est qu'une excuse pour justifier une épuration ethnique et le chantage à l' #antisémitisme ne sert qu'à masquer le #racisme puant et l' #islamophobie maladive d'un gouvernement suprémaciste.

L' #impunité. Comment peut-on laisser un homme violer la loi avec autant d'impunité ? Meyer Habib semble donc intouchable. Ses vociférations constantes laissant échapper toutes les 20 secondes, entre deux apologies de crimes de guerre, les dénonciations calomnieuses "antisémites" et "terroristes" si on a le malheur de demander un cessez-le-feu ou de dénoncer la #politique colonialiste et criminelle d'Israël. Si un membre de la FI dit un gros mot ça fait les gros titre de la presse pendant 3 jours et ça enchaîne les débats sur la violence de l'extrême-gauche. Mais quand Meyer Habib, habitué des apologies de crimes contre l’humanité, traite Rima #Hassan de "pute antisémite" le 20 mai 2025 dans un tweet : il n'y a plus personne. Aucun journaliste n'est là pour nous parler de la violence des sionistes fanatiques.

Oui, il est intouchable et il est peu probable que ses incitations à la haine raciale et religieuse, ses apologies de crimes de guerre, ses insultes diffamatoires soient punies par cette justice et condamnées par une classe politique inféodée à l'extrême-droite israélienne. La justice française fait preuve d'une grande mansuétude à l'égard des haineux de l'arabité ou de l'islam. En #France on ne touche aux défenseurs du #colonialisme c'est pourquoi l'impunité de #MeyerHabib doit être garantie. La condamnation de ce grand ami de #Netanyahou, reviendrait à condamner toute la politique et la doctrine du gouvernement israélien. Mais ce serait aussi reconnaître le laxisme et la complicité du gouvernement français dans les crimes coloniaux en #Palestine et plus récemment au #Liban.

Si les gouvernements français, américain et autres puissances mondiales soutiennent Israël, lui fournissent des armes et du matériel militaire – au delà des intérêts économiques et des accointances idéologiques – c'est avant tout pour des questions d'occupation, de #contrôle et de #domination au Proche Orient. L’expansionnisme israélien est l'assurance du maintien d'une hégémonie occidentale dans cette région du monde. #Tsahal n'est pas seulement l'armée terroriste et génocidaire d'Israël, elle est aussi celle des impérialistes.

That would be a VP in most organizations or at the very least a Director. And if they're trying to re-design a project mid-stream (which is something that neither a Director nor a VP normally would be involved in) this late in the game he's afraid of losing his job. Do you not have any Project Managers over this project? (Admittedly 95% of all the Project Managers I ever worked with in my career were utter useless and in some cases a hinderence.)

Frank Zappa: Well I think that progress is not possible without deviation. And I think that it's important that people be aware of some of the creative ways in which some of their fellow men are deviating from the norm, because in some instances they might find these deviations inspiring and might suggest further deviations which might cause progress, you never know. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


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.

  • 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.

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.

Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.

He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
