Proposition de loi Pauget: un retour du délit de vagabondage?
Trente ans après l’abrogation du délit de vagabondage, une proposition de loi portée par Éric Pauget remet à l’agenda la criminalisation de l’#errance — cette fois ciblée sur les #GensDuVoyage. Sous couvert d’ordre public, c’est l’exclusion structurelle du droit à habiter qui se voit renforcée.

less than two weeks to go until another relocation, another return. this time I'll have been gone for 366 days. It's been an interesting interlude, one of many extended adventures away from California. nationally or internationally, try as I might, over all of those decades somehow life just keeps pulling me back. perhaps one of these years I'll just stick around.
@Eva Winterschön The only time I've been to San Francisco, hoping to see the Golden Gate bridge, it was totally fogged over, couldn't see 20 feet in front of my face.
The island of Bali has long been a dream destination for adventurers in pursuit of not only breathtaking landscapes but also personal transformation. For years, this Indonesian island has magnetized surfing enthusiasts with its renowned waves and drawn meditators with its rich cultural heritage. In recent decades, a unique fusion of both lifestyles—surfing and meditation—has arisen as a defining experience for many guests. This union offers the perfect balance: the adrenaline and carefreeness of surf sports, balanced by the awareness and inner peace of the yogic path. Together, they create a integrated lifestyle that captures the core identity of the island.
Experiencing surf and yoga in Bali is an exhilarating activity that appeals to all experiences, from novices to pros. With iconic wave zones like Uluwatu Point, Padang Padang, and beachy Canggu, the island offers consistent swells and tropical temperatures in every month. Nearby surf schools and surf hubs make it accessible for fresh learners to start riding, while more experienced wave riders can take on the waves with sharp coral edges and powerful surf. Bali’s surfing vibe in Bali is not just about the sport—it’s a philosophy. It’s starting the day with sunrise with the sunrise, sensing the force of the waves, and expanding boundaries in nature’s playground.
But after time spent paddling, the body and mind need rejuvenation. This is where mindful movement comes in as the ideal balance to surfing. Yoga in Bali is more than just stretching on a mat—it’s a spiritual exploration. Many surf resorts now include regular yoga practice to help with range of motion, balance, and peace of mind. Whether it’s a gentle yin flow after a surf-heavy morning of paddling, or an invigorating flow session to prepare before the next session, yoga helps surfers stay resilient, focused, and safe.
The island is filled with spiritual getaways that serve all kinds of travelers. Ubud is often viewed as the sacred center of Bali, renowned for its lush jungles, green rice fields, and time-honored therapies. At this locale, the yoga experience takes on a more introspective and enlightening tone, often paired with wellness therapies, detox programs, and cultural rituals.
On the other hand, oceanfront communities like laid-back Canggu and Seminyak offer a more stylish and wellness-focused perspective—where surfing, yoga, and artsy eateries blend in a modern, expressive environment.
What defines Bali special is the natural blend of surf and yoga into daily living. It’s not just about joining a session or riding the ocean. It’s about embracing a harmonious and intentional lifestyle. In the start of the day, you might paddle out into the sea under a sunrise-lit horizon. In the evening, you find stillness in a gently glowing yoga studio, the sound of mantras floating on the whisper of tropical leaves. Throughout the day, there are healthy feasts, meaningful conversations, and a soulful alignment—to the natural world, to the local culture, and to your true nature.
So whether you’re chasing waves or exploring calm, the paradise invites you to do each. Surf and yoga in Bali is not just a holiday—it’s a soulful shift. It’s where the electric energy of the waves meets the stillness of the inner self, offering an experience that stays long after the sunburn heals and the vacation ends. If you’re searching for a journey that aligns all parts of your being, the Island of the Gods might just be calling your name.

#RadioFrance — la radio d'État — toujours là pour défendre le bon #capitalisme. Le capitalisme de gauche. Celui qui produit de gentils riches. Des riches philanthropes.
La philanthropie n'existe que parce que le capitalisme existe (impossible d'avoir la première sans le second). Bien sûr qu'il devrait être honteux d'être riche. Parce que les inégalités sont honteuses et qu'il n'y a des riches que parce qu'il y a des pauvres (et inversement).
« Comme on fait la guerre avec le sang des autres, a noté le poète André Suarès, on fait fortune avec l'argent d'autrui. » Le sociologue Alfred Sauvey remarqua, lui, que « la #charité a toujours soulagé la conscience des riches, bien avant de soulager l'estomac du pauvre ».
Il n'y a pas de #philanthropie sans #capitalisme. Et il n'y a pas d'argent propre, comme il n'y a pas de capitalisme équitable. L'argent, c'est un produit de l' #exploitation des êtres #humains et de la destruction de la #nature.
Que des riches utilisent leur argent pour pallier un peu le désastre social et écologique ambiant, c'est bien, mais ça ne devrait pas être perçu comme un acte hautement louable, signe d'une grande générosité. Ça devrait être perçu comme un minimum, une sorte de décence élémentaire.
L' #évergétisme désigne « la bienfaisance ostentatoire d'un riche notable (appelé évergète) en faveur d'une communauté », exprimée sous forme de dons et de bienfaits (appelés évergésies). Considéré comme un acte quasiment obligatoire dans l'empire romain, l'évergétisme consistait par exemple à offrir des événements publics comme des spectacles, des banquets, voire même des bâtiments publics. Il s'agit d'une composante millénaire de la #domination sociale. Pas d'un moyen de l'abolir.
This Dystopia Would Never Be Accepted Without Extensive Indoctrination
I am not a politically complicated person. I think #genocide is bad. I think #peace is good. I don’t think anyone should be struggling to survive in a #civilization that is capable of providing for all. I think we should try to preserve the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
To me these are just obvious, common sense positions, no more remarkable or profound than believing I should refrain from slamming my nipple in a car door. I do not think these views should put me on the political fringe. I don’t think they should cause me to be seen as some kind of radical. It’s not outlandish that I hold these views, it’s outlandish that everyone else does not. But that’s the kind of society we find ourselves in today. The obvious is framed as freakish while the freakish is presented as obvious. Health is framed as sickness while sickness is presented as health. The moderate is framed as extremism while extremism is presented as moderate.
We live in a twisted, backwards #dystopia where everything is the opposite of the way it should be, and we’re conditioned to think it’s normal and acceptable. It’s not until some degree of insight dawns in you that you look around and realize you are living in the nightmare of a madman. Until then you spend your time here thinking, speaking, voting and behaving as though the demented status quo we are living under is the moderate and expected reality.
All our lives we are trained to believe this hellscape is the healthy and expected circumstance for our species. Our parents and teachers tell us that it’s normal for things to be this way. Our pundits and politicians assure us that there’s no other way things could be and that we are living under the best possible system.
A big part of it is just growing up in a society that’s been diseased since long before you were born, being raised and taught by people who also grew up in a society that’s been diseased since long before they were born. We show up here, we don’t know anything, and then the big people teach us about war and money and jobs and politics, and assure us that our initial horrified reaction to the things we are learning is just immature naivety to something fine and normal.
If you’ve ever had the misfortune of having to explain war to a child, then you know how insane this civilization looks when perceived by a pair of fresh eyes. I’ve never had to explain the genocide in Gaza to a young child, but I am sure it would be met with even more shock and grief. Kids have a natural, healthy revulsion toward such things, and it is only by sustained indoctrination that we are able to twist their minds into seeing them as normal.
It takes a lot of education to make us this stupid. Our minds require a whole lot of training to accept this horrific dystopia as the baseline norm. That’s why the empire we live under has the most sophisticated domestic #propaganda machine that has ever existed.
In order to have clarity, we need to learn to look with fresh eyes. Uninitiated eyes. Eyes that have not been educated out of their initial healthy impulse to weep at what we are doing and how we are living here. We need to get in touch with that intuition within us which rejects the sickness of our society as though it was meeting it for the very first time.
Learning to meet life afresh in each instant is good practice anyway; it makes living a lot more enjoyable and beautiful, and it helps us move in a much wiser way since we’re not constantly reacting to old patterns and expectations in an ever-changing world. But as an added bonus it also peels away the tolerance we have built up for the backwards lunacy of this empire we are living under. The less healthy this civilization feels to you, the healthier you are getting. Everything about this nightmare looks appalling through clear eyes.

Queen's "I Want To Break Free" is an iconic rock anthem that celebrates the desire for freedom and independence. Released in 1984, the song features a catchy melody and powerful vocals from Freddie Mercury. The accompanying music video, known for its memorable visuals and humorous portrayal of domestic life, has become a classic, further solidifying Queen's legacy in rock music.
I want to break free, I want to break free I want to break free from your lies You're so self-satisfied I don't need you I've got to break free God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love I've fallen in love for the first time This time I know it's for real I've fallen in love, yeah God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true, hey I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure when I walk out that door Oh, I want to be free, baby Oh, how I want to be free Oh, I want to break free
But life still goes on I can't get used to living without, living without Living without you by my side I don't want to live alone, hey God knows, got to make it on my own So, baby, can't you see I've got to break free?
The term "spam" for unsolicited mail is humorously linked to the famous "Spam" skit from Monty Python's Flying Circus, where the repeated mention of "spam" in a café drives the characters to frustration. This skit highlights the overwhelming and often unwanted nature of spam, paralleling how unsolicited emails clutter our inboxes.

A defense of individualism (rational/conceptual self-interest, or rational selfishness) from the standpoint of Jungian analytic psychology (to be added to the more common economic, political, and ethical defenses). --
"[T]he basis of almost all psychological problems is an unsatisfactory relation to one's urge to individuality. And the healing process often involves an acceptance of what is commonly called selfish...The majority of patients in psychotherapy need to learn how to be more effectively selfish and more effective in the use of their own personal power; they need to accept responsibility for the fact of being centers of power and effectiveness. So-called selfish or egocentric behavior which expresses itself in the demands made on others [that is, other *selves*] is not effective conscious self-centeredness or conscious individuality. We demand from others only what we fail to give ourselves. If we have insufficient self-love or self-prestige, our need expresses itself unconsciously by coercive acts toward others. And often the coercion occurs under the guides of virtue, love, or altruism. Such unconscious selfishness [i.e. *irrational* selfishness] is ineffectual and destructive to oneself and others. It fails to achieve its purpose because it is blind, without awareness of itself. What is required is not the extirpation of selfishness, which is impossible but rather that to be wedded to consciousness and thus becomes effective." - Edward F. Edinger, "Ego and Archetype." Shambala Publications, Inc.: Boulder, Colorado. 1972. Page 161. Print. With a handful of very minor quibbles with the way a couple words are used here -- too minor to bother mentioning in this post -- this strikes at the heart of what's wrong with the nearly universally held belief that self-interest is a bad thing, rather than the standard and source of all virtue --
Man's inhumanity to man is not the result of "selfishness." The reason such villanies as rape, murder, slavery, statism, military aggression, socialism, theft, etc, are immoral is *not* that they are self-interested acts but because they *violate* the self-interest of the victims.
Conversely, if I give aid to a man in suffering -- not because I'm forced to do so or shamed and pressured into doing so but out of sincere compassion -- this is does not prove "selflessness" is the basis of virtue, for four identifiably distinct reasons --
(1) I am *promoting* the self-interest of the recipient of my aid -- the promotion of self-interest is still the goal.
(2) Assuming it comes from my own conviction, then it feels *good* to me to do it -- the increase in oxytocin I get from the act is a self-interested act.
(3) Adopting a habit of authentic kindness in the long term is also a good policy to adopt in life, because while every particular act may not yield long-term benefits for me, the habit of doing so *in general* increases the likelihood that I will receive the same over longer periods.
(4) Most importantly, I am *not* self-sacrificing because I'm not giving up something I more for something I value less. I prefer the outcome that the recipient of my aid is better off over the time, energy, money, or whatever, I give up for that outcome.
A major part of the hostility toward self-interest stems from a confusion of terminology (yet another example of why I have recently coined the term "the fallacy of definitional neglect"). In a social, psychological, and ethical context, "the self" is just another name for consciousness or the mind. Voluntarily helping someone in need helps enhance the conscious experience of reality -- the *selves* -- of both myself and the recipient.
Rational self-interest is the basis and end goal of all morality and virtue.

It sounds like those tech companies were anticipating so much easy money obtained by stealing someone else's intellectual work in the name of 'progress'. There's just that little inconvenience that their business model is based on literal criminal activities. We saw what happened with the porn industry and the claim of 'freedom of expression' that quickly led to a surge in violence and criminality. I hope we learnt from our previous mistakes.
to summarise: The UK AI industry must steal everything, because everyone else is stealing everything, and if we don't steal everything, we won't be among the top thieves .......

Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe, Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern. Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne, Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben. Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne, Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten, An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen, Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen, Er will uns Stuf‘ um Stufe heben, weiten. Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen, Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise, Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden, Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden… Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde! (4. Mai 1941)

Aerosmith's "Janie's Got A Gun" is a powerful rock ballad that addresses serious themes of abuse and revenge. Released in the late 1980s, the song showcases the band's signature sound, combining emotive lyrics with a compelling melody. Its impactful message and memorable chorus have made it a staple in Aerosmith's discography.
Lyrics: Lyric: Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done? Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done? Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her whole world's come undone From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do? What did he put you through? They said when Janie was arrested They found him underneath a train But man, he had it comin', now that Janie's got a gun She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue, what did her daddy do? He jacked a little bitty baby, the man has got to be insane They say the spell that he was under the lightning and The thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do? It's Janie's last I.O.U She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain She said, "'Cause nobody believes me, the man was such a sleaze" He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run Janie's got a gun
