Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article.
It is time to take a stand against companies that behave this way.

Non-voters: "I cannot vote for a candidate I don't support. If you offer me two sandwiches, one filled entirely with shit and the other with no more than 50% shit, I am going to choose neither"
Fair point. But this isn't a lunch buffet. It's an election. Unless you emigrate, you're going to be living with the outcome of that election. You are definitely eating one of those sandwiches. A decision will be reached, and opting out of voting doesn't rescue you from the consequences of everybody else's choice. So unless you genuinely don't care whether you and everybody else will be eating the 50% or 100% sandwich, you should probably get involved.

S'il y a bien une manière d'attiser la curiosité d'un journaliste, c'est en lui fermant la porte au nez. 🧐
Après que « Splann ! » a été empêché d'assister à la présentation du bilan RSA de Maël de Calan devant 200 chefs d'entreprise, le président du conseil départemental du Finistère a multiplié les attaques verbales contre notre média. 1/

Je viens de regarder « Personne n’y comprend rien », un film documentaire de @mediapart expliquant les liens entre Nicolas Sarkozy et son entourage, avec l’entourage de feu Mouammar Kadhafi en Libye.
Un florilège de cynisme, de mensonges et de manipulation particulièrement intéressant.
Journée d'élection des représentants des étudiants dans les conseils scientifiques à l'université tunisienne...
Ici, à la @fsm, aucun signe d'effervescence électorale et la participation est quasi-nulle...
Seul point positif, des candidatures 100% féminines. Elles sont trois candidates a se "disputer" trois places.

Le parquet a requis le placement en détention provisoire de l'homme de 74 ans, suspecté d'avoir écrasé un œuf sur le crâne de Bardella à Moissac mais le juge des libertés a refusé d'emprisonner le monsieur. Il se dit "totalement étranger à tout parti politique ou syndicat". Il justifie son acte comme un geste d'opposition à l'extrême droite. https://www.ladepeche.fr/2025/12/01/info-la-depeche-oeuf-ecrase-sur-la-tete-de-jordan-bardella-le-retraite-ressort-libre-eprouve-et-soulage-de-rentrer-chez-lui-selon-son-avocate-13084179.php

All countries that claim to practice 'compulsory voting', don't. Because they all offer a 'no confidence' option. Which is, in effect, not voting.
It's a nonsense, and a distraction from meaningful attempts at democratic reform
