L’IA de Musk diffuse 1 fake news sur les prétendues tortures au Bataclan, rumeurs tirées de témoignages détournés, relancées par la commission Fenech. Tt a été démenti, notamment lors de V13. Que cette IA continue n’est qu’une preuve de plus du projet fasciste de son concepteur.

During his meeting with high school students in Slovakia, PM Fico said that EU would allocate money "to continue the war" in Ukraine.

When the students objected, he told them to go to Ukraine if they support the war.

The students walked out.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.
A Different Kind of Patriotism
Today, more than ever, America needs its veterans to remember that their oaths to the Constitution do not expire.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

L'annulation du colloque au Collège de France me pousse à un triste constat : la Licra n'est plus une organisation antiraciste.
C'est désolant parce que l'antiracisme est un combat qui n'a pas besoin de divisions. Mais ils ne répondent plus à mes yeux aux fondamentaux de la lutte contre le racisme.

Ukrainian forces struck the “Hvardiiska” oil depot in occupied Crimea again. Four explosions were reported in the settlement north of Simferopol, igniting a storage tank. This follows a special forces strike earlier in the week that destroyed another tank and hit two fuel trains mid-transfer.

The good news of this is that the Norwegians realised this because they did a cybersecurity test. We need to think about, and test, stuff like this more.
