Downing Street has urged people not to take part in a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action as police warned they would arrest anyone breaking terrorism laws.

Palestine Action has been banned under terrorism laws, and this weekend a large event protesting against its proscription has been organised by the group Defend Our Juries.

Transports de Demain


 Une bande dessinée évoquant un futur imaginaire des transports publics en région liégeoise

En 1987, j'avais réalisé une bande dessinée qui imaginait ce que pourrait être le futur des transports publics en région liégeoise entre 1988 et l'an 2000...

Pourquoi la région liégeoise?


Cela se passe dans la région liégeoise car j'y habitais et j'avais de grands projets pour la ville... On sait ce qu'ils sont devenus... mais cette BD est la base de mon travail de stage trois ans plus tard... On peut dire que j'ai de la suite dans les idées...

Comparaison entre la (science-)fiction et la réalité


Le transport secondaire par Métro, Tram et Bus a été régionalisé au début des années 1990 et les STI ont été intégrées à la société régionale qui a succédé à l'entreprise nationale SNCV. Seule la STIB est restée la STIB. La STIL, STIC et STIV (Liège, Charleroi et Verviers) ont été intégrées dans le TEC lui-même subdivisé en 5 entités TEC-Hainaut, TEC-Charleroi, TEC-Brabant Wallon, TEC-Namur-Luxembourg et TEC-Liège-Verviers. De Lijn a quant à elle absorbé la MIVA et la MIVG (Antwerpen/Anvers et Gent/Gand), elle a opté pour une structure proche de la défunte SNCV qui avait fêté ses 100 ans en 1985... Les lignes vicinales arrivant à/partant de Bruxelles ont été intégrées dans le TEC ou De Lijn.

Pour ce qui concerne Liège, si le T.A.U. avait été promis aux Liégeois par De Croo en 1985 : "Le T.A.U. doit venir et viendra à Liège" clamait le ministre libéral flamand, surnommé le fossoyeur du rail du fait que c'est sous son ministère que fut appliqué le plus grand plan de restructuration de la SNCB avec la suppression de 232 arrêts et de nombreux tronçons de ligne... Et en 1987 lorsque je réalisai cette BD très optimiste, la réalité était plutôt, comme en 2025, aux économies tous azimuts... L'histoire se répète décidément...

De T.A.U. aucune trace, si ce n'est des brochures de l'époque, cet énième projet de transport urbain de masse ayant été abandonné face aux coûts exorbitants qu'il aurait engendré... Finalement et après bien des palabres... et des retards endémiques, une ligne de tramway moderne a été inaugurée en 2025! Il aura fallu quarante ans pour doter Liège d'un moyen de transport moderne.

Malheureusement, cette ligne risque de rester longtemps l'unique ligne pour des raisons d'économies budgétaires... Sous l'ancienne législature, il avait été décidé de prolonger la ligne de chaque côté vers Seraing et vers Herstal ce qui revenait à créer un axe ferré un peu dans l'esprit de ce qui avait été conçu pour le métro automatisé. Plus question non plus de faire une boucle urbaine (qui aurait suivi l'itinéraire de l'ancienne ligne 4 bien connue des liégeois)...

Dans la bande dessinée, c'est un véritable réseau de tramways modernes et de métro qui voit le jour pour une desserte efficace par transport public... La ville restera sans doute encore longtemps congestionnée par les nombreuses voitures qui y pénètrent encore et toujours... L'avenir nous dira si le tramway tiendra ses promesses... de désengorger quelque peu la ville. Si l'on regarde à Luxembourg-ville, de l'autre côté de la frontière, le tramway et l'amélioration continue de l'offre alliée à une gratuité nationale ne semble pas décoller les automobilistes de leur siège...

Au niveau de la SNCB, peu des choses imaginées ne sont devenues réalité si ce n'est un semblant de réseau suburbain de trains S mais aux fréquences faméliques dans beaucoup de cas, peu de nouveaux arrêts si ce n'est la réouverture de la ligne 125 A entre Liège-Guillemins et Flémalle-Haute par Ougrée et Seraing. L'ancienne ligne du plateau de Herve a été utilisée comme amorce de la ligne à grande vitesse vers l'Allemagne, il y a donc peu de chances que cette ligne revive un jour... Sur la ligne de Visé, il n'y a toujours pas de projet de nouveaux/de réouvertures d'arrêts... Et la ligne Ans-Liers, remise en état et électrifiée dans les années 1970 dans le cadre d'un projet de RER déjà, a été déferrée et est aujourd'hui un RAVeL (voie verte).

Conclusion


Bref, près de quarante ans après cette utopie et malgré un changement conséquent en matière de transport public induit par le changement climatique et la nécessité de décarboner nos sociétés, les projets et visions d'avenir manquent toujours autant en 2025 qu'elles manquaient en 1987...

Aurons-nous un jour des politiciens qui ont une vision à long terme? Poser la question, c'est un peu y répondre et cette réponse semble de plus en plus négative... Les priorités ont changé à la lueur de regains de tensions géopolitique qui nous ont fait entré dans une sorte d'hystérie collective et les milliards d'euros, les centaines de milliards même coulent à flots mais pour les armes et non pour une société où se renforce la cohésion et un meilleur partage du territoire...

Les temps changeront encore à l'avenir... Espérons que nous deviendrons plus sage dans un avenir proche... Utopiste un jour, utopiste toujours!

Finally some IDF soldiers were detained and interrogated while on vacation in Europe over being war criminals.

Taking nearly two years of a televised genocide for a couple genocide troops to even have to face an interrogation should tell you how much the West actually cares about human rights.

Belgium’s Arrest of IDF Soldiers Could Be a Watershed Moment

Belgium’s detention of Israeli soldiers over alleged war crimes in Gaza has set a historic precedent for holding Israel to account for its war crimes. And it’s a sign that the tide is turning against Israel.

Why do I feel so emotional when I listen to music from my teenage years?

Deep in your memory, your brain has created a playlist of music from your teenage years. Even though life has moved on, hearing that music now likely still brings up some really powerful emotions.

Why?

Well, as with anything to do with the brain and with emotions, it’s hard to say for sure. But it’s likely a bit to do with evolution, and a bit to do with some key neurological changes that occur in the teenage years.


Why do I feel so emotional when I listen to music from my teenage years?

Those songs act as a musical key to a neurological time capsule that transports us back to the intense emotions of our adolescent brain – a time of many firsts.

I've used powershell in previous jobs and if you learn it really well I cannot deny it is super powerful.

For a college project, a friend of mine somehow made a hexadecimal file dumper with it, with formatting and everything (think like what you would see in wireshark) in one, reasonably long, line of powershell.

However I'm just not a big fan of it personally for syntactical reasons (even with the syntax being super logical) and much prefer bash, or other unix-like native shells. I've been thinking about taking zsh for a spin recently to see what it's like.

mastodon.social/@potterybyosa/… potterybyosa@mastodon.social - Pottery is where I maintain my idealism and make it manifest through material, form and color. It’s where I can bring together the wisdom of the past and present to create something harmonious and wholesome. I do with pottery what I wish we could do on the grandest scale. I look at this pot and it just glows so warmly, radiating love, gratitude, peace and alignment. It’s tangible evidence that these things are here with us all of the time even when the world seems like the darkest void.

When avowed Nazis march the streets and intimidate passerby, our politicians do not care. Our politicians do nothing to stop it.

But when college kids dissent against empire, against a holocaust in miniature that is unfolding before our very eyes in real time, then that's the most unforgivable act of antisemitism ever and must be crushed by the police with any means necessary.

The people protesting against the mass murder in Gaza are exactly the same kinds of people who would have opposed the Nazis and the Spanish fascists in the 30s. I can see it in their conviction. And even though I have not attended a pro Palestine protest, I am completely aligned with their cause: to stop the slaughter of a people by a settler colonialist and far right military force.

Isn’t genocide denial a crime in Germany? Does that only apply to one genocide? (The Holocaust?) Or does it also apply to, say, the Armenian genocide too? And, if so, does that it mean that the only genocide it doesn’t apply to is Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people?
