C'est incroyable : 10 ans de macronisme et de politiques pro-business sans précédent nous ont conduit dans le mur, avec un PIB/hab désormais inférieur à la moyenne de l'UE (Bravo E. Macron !).

Que propose le @Medef ? D'accélérer dans le mur.

tions on the British activist group Palestine Action and the pro-Palestine international movement Masar Badil as the administration of President Donald Trump intensifies a global crackdown on critics of Israel.

The US Department of the Treasury also imposed financial penalties on Wednesday against Autistici Inventati, an Italy-based group that provides digital services to left-wing organisations, including pro-Palestine groups.

Comunque medici competenti io ne conosco, potrei anche indicarne qualcuno a @GustavinoBevilacqua, anche al nord, ma non credo siano nella sua zona.

Interesting how Dandelion BASIC embraces minimalism; even without loops or multi‑dim arrays, the Arduino Tiny BASIC shows that careful use of jumps and subroutines can emulate richer structures, turning constraints into a learning trail.

The US is targeting the anarchist collective that hosts the popular Noblogs wordpress platform as terrorists. This is truly batshit (as are their various obvious lies about Rose City Antifa etc).

This is a HUGE attack on basic free speech.

@jonny in Genesis two angels visit Lot in Sodom. Lot’s neighbours want to rape them, but Lot offers his virgin daughters instead. Finally, the angels blind the neighbours and eventually the city is destroyed for its sins. God warns Lot to leave and not look back, but when Lot’s wife looks back, she’s turned into a pillar of salt. Lot and his daughters settle in a cave and his daughters get him drunk, have sex with him and give birth. Jesus is a descendant of one of the kids.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Just tell them it's like box wine, but milk instead

"It says here 35,000 people died in the last heatwave."

She looks at me skeptically. "What people?"

I feel a bit annoyed. Interesting that she wants to categorize the casualties. "People with pre-existing conditions," I answer deviously, watching her closely.

Any flicker of interest fades from her eyes. She responds nonverbally, with a gesture that suggests the conversation is a waste of time.

"But they're dead now," I say. "Last week they were living people."

Aight but does he HAVE to dress like an out of costume Adrian Veidt because it's disconcerting.

Zojuist hebben we als Universiteit Utrecht een overeenkomst getekend met de organisatie @publicspaces We maken daarmee vanaf nu deel uit van een netwerk van publieke organisaties die samen strijden voor een internet gebaseerd op publieke waarden.

Deze nieuwe samenwerking is passend bij de brede samenwerking die Universiteit Utrecht graag opzoekt in het kader van publieke waarden, in het bijzonder ten aanzien van digitale autonomie.

Here’s the other conclusion: opponents of Reform share with its supporters an utter abhorrence of Westminster

I suspect one they share with most of the country.

I had a lot of reasons for voting against Brexit but one of the simplest was this: of all of the layers of government that I sat under, from parish councils, through the Welsh Assembly, to the EU, the one that I had the least faith in was Westminster. Unfortunately having the leaders of the two major parties in Westminster leading the remain campaign meant they couldn’t use the most effective line: Vote remain or the muppets in Westminster will have more power.

Dolly Parton's scientific, public health, and educational philanthropy was so significant that @nature is running a piece on the impact she had.
