Why does a narcissist build metaphorical "mirror rooms" where only his opinions matter? 🪞

Narcissists often create echo chambers — or "mirror rooms" — to surround themselves with reflections of their own beliefs and ideas. This serves to boost their fragile self-esteem and control the narrative around them. In these spaces, dissenting opinions are dismissed or punished, reinforcing their sense of superiority and validating their distorted self-image. Understanding this can help those affected see the patterns and reclaim their own voice. 🧠💡 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

> Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy.

> According to the Commentary on the First Geneva Convention, examples of acts harmful to the enemy include the use of medical units to shelter able-bodied combatants, to store arms or munitions, as a military observation post or as a shield for military action.

I've heard it said that Israel gives some idea of what Germany might have become, if the Nazis had more time and unstinting support from their allies.

Wow. The EPA has placed 144 employees on administrative leave after the workers signed a public letter criticizing EPA leadership for disregarding scientific expertise and rolling back environmental and public health protections. This is an unacceptable censorship of scientists!

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.

When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

Obviously the only correct decision would have been to charge •more• people with tampering with evidence. Also: how can there not have been backup copies at this stage in the investigation? Are they insisting that they are that incompetent?

A decision to drop criminal charges against fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv football club has ignited controversy in the Netherlands.

Dutch prosecutors took the decision after CCTV footage showing violent behavior by Israeli hooligans toward Muslim women last November was found to have been ERASED.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Amsterdam.

“The goal is mainly to terrorise us, scare our children, burn our houses — anything they can reach, they try to destroy and burn.”

Palestinian residents of the occupied West Bank village of Bruqin, describe daily harassment and severe violence by illegal Israeli settlers and military forces as a form of collective punishment.

They recount a life overshadowed by fear, home invasions, property destruction and psychological trauma.

Palestine Action activists and their families describe how the UK government is using counter-terrorism legislation to silence dissent against Israel’s arms trade.

“I had to change my whole reality,” says Ronny, an Israeli dissident jailed after a protest against Elbit Systems. “We were the first Palestine Action members imprisoned – and it hasn’t stopped.”

Very sad to see that Diogo Jota died... A great footballer.

Also yesterday Muhannad al-Lili, a Palestinian footballer, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza.

Of course, Jota is on the front page of every newspaper. Al-Lili is not visible on any UK newspapers at all.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Now that my Fedi promo video is out and I'm no longer spending 7 hours a day doing motion graphics, I have time to pick up again writing for the blog #TheFutureIsFederated.

This morning I will create a roadmap for the rest of the summer. There is so much I have yet to explore and write about.

At the top of my list: trying out #BookWyrm and the #Friends plugin for #wordpress

L’union ? Quelle union ?, par Frédéric Lordon (Les blogs du Diplo, 30 juin 2025)


#politique #trahison

C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.
