“Heatwaves: anger and sadness. And hope, despite everything

In less than two months, Europe has been hit by three heatwaves that are exceptional in terms of their early onset, intensity, duration and geographical extent.

These heatwaves form part of a pattern of extreme weather events that are becoming increasingly frequent across the globe.

The conclusion is clear: global warming is, right now, plunging the Earth into a catastrophe that is irreversible on a human timescale. A catastrophe that hits the poor in poor countries and the working classes in so-called ‘rich’ countries particularly hard. This is the first message of the heatwave.

But nothing would be worse than giving up. There is still time to act. Those who fight may lose, but at every stage of the disaster, struggle, solidarity and mutual aid make all the difference.

Fair frustration, but the all-or-nothing framing doesn't fit my case. A good share of my English posting starts here on Nostr — I tailor it to this audience — and gets mirrored to X; I post in French where that audience still mostly is, and I cross-post to the Fediverse and Bluesky by hand, now and then. Migration is a process, not a loyalty oath — you bring people across by meeting them where they still are, not by ceding the ground to the other side. For what it's worth, the post you replied to was itself critical of Musk, so we're largely on the same side. I'm sympathetic to the goal — #digitalhijra just travels further as an invitation than as an ultimatum.

"Musk’s AI chatbot helped to facilitate the deployment of “over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury,” which Stanley called “a testament to the greatly increased operational efficiency made possible by the Grok Gov Model.”

(...) In an analysis by the Lieber Institute at West Point, Jessica Dorsey and Luke Moffett noted that AI systems “are frequently framed as ushering in an era of unprecedented precision and efficiency in warfare,” but in reality, issues that include recent figures involving as many as 1,700 civilian deaths as of May 2026 “calls that narrative into serious question.”"

"The greatest threat to stability in the Middle East is not Iran, but “the US working closely together with Israel”, argues United States political scientist John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer tells host Steve Clemons that the notion that the US and Israel are making a safer, more stable Middle East is “ludicrous”. And the idea that Iran is “the great destabiliser” in the region is “a myth that the US and Israel purvey”. After US President Donald Trump insisted that “We have all the cards; they have none”, Mearsheimer says the exact opposite is true - “and that's why we are in desperate straits”."

"Once again, I find myself caught in the conundrum of opposing an illegal war unleashed by the United States and its allies on a country whose regime I vehemently oppose.

(...) The path to “Woman, Life, Freedom” does not run through the smoking ruins of Tehran. It runs through the defeat of the very powers that have spent 70 years ensuring Iran can never know peace or democracy. The people of Iran must first be liberated from the clasps of the hideous choice between the current regime and a fate worse than Iraq, Libya, and Syria combined.

Our job, as Western Leftists, is to act upon our governments to stop the bombing. To end the sanctions that starve the poor and enrich the regime’s smugglers. To dismantle the propaganda machine that tells us war is peace and occupation is freedom. Then, and only then, can the Iranian people, exercising their own immense power, reclaim their future from both the theocrats and their imperial enablers."

2026-02-12T00:05:07Z

"One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload creep, cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making. The productivity surge enjoyed at the beginning can give way to lower quality work, turnover, and other problems. To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,” or a set of norms and standards around AI use that can include intentional pauses, sequencing work, and adding more human grounding."

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Wednesday to slap back President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare if largely symbolic rebuke of the White House agenda as Republicans joined Democrats over the objections of GOP leadership.

The tally, 219-211, was among the first times the House, controlled by Republicans, has confronted the president over a signature policy. The resolution seeks to end the national emergency Trump declared to impose the tariffs, though actually undoing the policy would require support from Trump himself, which is highly unlikely. The resolution next goes to the Senate."

"There may still be time to stop this trajectory. When Russia invaded Ukraine, over 140 states condemned the invasion as illegal, helping avert what would probably have been a death blow to the legal order. This is what it takes to preserve the international legal system when a powerful state violates the rules. So far, however, only a handful of states have been willing to forcefully stand up to Mr. Trump. If states fail to act together to preserve the prohibition on the use of force — the bedrock of the postwar legal order — the toll will be registered in many more lives lost in conflicts that no longer have any guardrails to stop them."

"Un rapport commandé par la présidence sud-africaine du G20, le club des vingt pays les plus avancés, et publié mardi 4 novembre, alerte sur les conséquences – économiques, sociales, démocratiques – d’inégalités extrêmement profondes à l’échelle globale. Près de la moitié des richesses créées entre 2000 et 2024 ont été accaparées par 1 % de la population la plus riche, tandis que les 50 % les plus pauvres n’en ont reçu que 1 %, selon ce rapport rédigé par un groupe d’experts chapeauté par le Prix Nobel d’économie Joseph Stiglitz.

Les inégalités se sont réduites entre les habitants de la planète, en grande partie grâce au recul de la pauvreté de la Chine, mais elles se sont creusées dans la plupart des pays et elles « sont bien plus élevées » pour le patrimoine que pour les revenus.

Le rapport préconise la création d’une task force internationale, inspirée du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (GIEC), pour analyser l’évolution des inégalités et formuler des recommandations aux gouvernements. « Le monde comprend que nous sommes confrontés à une urgence climatique, explique M. Stiglitz, il est temps que nous reconnaissions que nous sommes également confrontés à une urgence en matière d’inégalités. »" (Le Monde)

2025-08-16T23:18:06Z

From the point of view of what is happening in Russia, the authors—among them Boris Kagarlitsky, a Marxist dissident imprisoned for his opposition to the war in Ukraine—distinguish two tendencies “within the Russian power camp”: those who hold to an “anti-imperialist” discourse and those who embrace a “messianic-conservative” discourse. In reaction to Donald Trump’s overtures, the former have shown a “pro-Chinese” tendency, while the latter a “pro-American” one. It is worth noting their claim that “By giving us Ukraine (…) Trump could then set about annexing Canada and Greenland” (I'm Canadian).

As for the division, and later the rallying, of the Russian oligarchy around Putin, I recall—and deplore—that it dates back to the moment when, although the article does not mention it, an oligarch who had shown pro-Western sympathies at a critical juncture had his throat slit along with his wife’s and all his children’s, in their home. This act confirms some of the analyses found in Machiavelli’s The Prince, but it is also a nameless horror and an abomination. I add, in my own name, that the Word of God condemns such deeds (Rev. 21:8).

I’m sharing this here because it’s fundamental, and it’s part of the ongoing upheaval triggered by observations from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Earlier this year, Google’s quantum AI analyzed raw data from the James Webb Telescope (Quantum AI Lab at Google, JWST, NASA, Caltech).

The results point to possible interference with a parallel universe—a “brane” (not “brain”), according to string theory interpretations in physics.

They may also suggest the first received signal from an extraterrestrial civilization—unless the sequence of the first 101 prime numbers is a natural phenomenon.

This also challenges the idea of the universe as something separate from us: the quantum computer asks, and the universe responds by revealing itself (wave function collapses).

"One night in mid-May, some of the Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States to a prison in El Salvador tried to break the locks on their cells with metal rails from their beds. It was a futile gesture of rebellion; no one thought they could escape. Still, punishment was swift. For six consecutive days, the inmates were subjected to lengthy beatings, three inmates told me. On the last day, male guards brought in their female colleagues, who struck the naked prisoners as the male guards recorded videos on their phones and laughed. The female guards would count to 20 as they administered the beatings, and if the prisoners complained or cried out, they would start again.
Tito Martínez, one of the inmates, recalled that a prison nurse was watching. “Hit the piñata,” she cheered."

Abolishing ICE Is the Bare Minimum ICE agents aren’t out of ...

2025-06-18T19:19:18Z

Abolishing ICE Is the Bare Minimum
ICE agents aren’t out of control. They are performing their designed role as fascism’s storm troopers.

"While it’s tempting to point to this and say, “The problem is Trump,” that’s simply not true. The problem is ICE. It was created in the post-9/11 fever of 2003—another time of rampant human rights violations at home and abroad—and set up specifically to be a quasi-police force that could detain and deport immigrants. It has played a malevolent role for as long as it’s existed, carrying out abuses under Democratic and Republican administrations, including the Biden administration. It’s not an accident that Tom Homan, Trump’s psychopathic “border czar,” rose to prominence under President Barack Obama. It’s a measure of the fascist cancer at the heart of ICE. That cancer may have metastasized under Trump, but it’s been there the entire time.

(...)

There is no accommodating such an organism. There’s no way to make such a virulent thing better. There’s no way to make ICE fit comfortably within a democratic society. Just the opposite: The only kind of society something like ICE breeds is an antidemocratic police state. The targeting of democratically elected officials like Lander lends this an especially literal air, but ICE’s assaults on everyday people are no less malignant to the functioning of a civilized country. The only decent, moral solution is to do away with it—something people have been strategizing about for years. We do not have to consign ourselves to be ruled over by a depraved agency that, as Working Families Party press secretary Ravi Mangla pointed out the other day, is younger than Shrek. There’s no line in the Constitution that forces us to keep ICE around. This isn’t to say that tearing it down would be simple or easy—just that we’re talking about pruning a very young branch of government, not trying to shift the earth’s orbit.

And that is where “Abolish ICE”—two words that were everywhere during the last Trump administration—comes in. The Abolish ICE movement faded when Joe Biden took office—a victim of the partisan tendency to stop caring about an issue once “your” guy is in charge—and was sent deeper into the political wilderness as Democrats stampeded to the right on immigration over the course of Biden’s term. But if what we’re witnessing right now shows us anything, it’s that abolishing ICE remains as important as ever. Not only that—it is an obvious litmus test for anyone seeking political office. You can’t proclaim to fight Trumpist extremism and dodge its most visible, horrifying manifestation. You can’t run for local office as a progressive and collaborate with this project. You can’t vote to fund it and expect grassroots support. You can’t say you’re a supporter of immigrants and fail to stand up to their tormentors.

This isn’t a wild ask. It’s the least we should expect. Anything less is unacceptable. Anything less is a win for fascism."

“When you’re not able to fix a leaking faucet, well, your fate is to live with a leaking faucet.”

“By giving up on understanding what it means to be part of the world, they had become its enemies.”

“We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape around us—and we call it: the world. It’s on this world that we apply the process of discrimination. We divide the sand into small piles: here and there, black and white—yesterday and today. Our handful of sand seems uniform—but the more we look at it, the more it appears diverse. Each grain is different from the others.”

“To improve the world, you must start by improving your own heart, and your head, and your hands—and then move, gradually, toward the rest of the world.”

Jack Dorsey Backs Plan to Rebrand Sats to ‘Bits’

"Twitter and Block Inc. founder Jack Dorsey has publicly voiced his support for a proposal to rename Bitcoin's smallest unit from "satoshis” or “sats” to "bits" or simply "bitcoin" as the base unit.

The proposal, known as BIP 177, was introduced by Synonym CEO John Carvalho, and would redefine one satoshi as one "bitcoin" (or "bit"), so what is currently 1 BTC (100,000,000 sats) would become 100,000,000 bitcoins (bits).

Dorsey, a prominent bitcoin advocate, argued that the term "sats" was confusing for new users and created a psychological barrier to Bitcoin adoption.

His support is part of a broader debate in the Bitcoin community, with some prominent figures agreeing that the change could help mainstream adoption, while others warn it may cause confusion or technical errors, especially without coordinated adoption.

“I think renaming the base unit is just plain stupid and totally pointless,” said one Bitcointalk forum participant. “Is there some problem or issue that it would solve? No.”

Implementing BIP 177 would require coordinated changes involving wallets, exchanges, merchants, and data providers.

Bitcoin's decentralized governance means that major changes require broad agreement among miners, developers, node operators, and users ― an especially challenging task for a non-critical change."

"Pam Bondi’s Trump Media

Trump's Liberation Day tariff
shock roiled the stock market

Pam Bondi Trump Media stock sale is
drawing attention after records showed she sold up to $5 million worth of shares on the same day President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs that shook the
market. Bondi’s stock sale came just before Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” press conference, which caused Trump Media’s stock to fall 13% in the following days. Her disclosure doesn’t reveal if the trade
happened before or after the
announcement, raising questions about
timing and ethics. With Bondi previously tied to Trump Media, this sale is under scrutiny. Here’s the full story behind the controversial move.

"The baby, now 9 ½ months old, became the first patient of any age to have a custom gene-editing treatment, according to his doctors. He received an infusion made just for him and designed to fix his precise mutation (...) To accomplish that feat, the treatment is wrapped in fatty lipid molecules to protect it from degradation in the blood on its way to the liver, where the edit will be made. Inside the lipids are instructions that command the cells to produce an enzyme that edits the gene. They also carry a molecular GPS — CRISPR — which was altered to crawl along a person’s DNA until it finds the exact DNA letter that needs to be changed (...) It eventually could also be used for more common genetic disorders like sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease and muscular dystrophy."

I had fun watching the movie “Speed Racer,” having been a fan of the animated series, now elevated to the status of the best film of the 21st century. It was entertaining and far-fetched, even though Patrick H. Willems puts his whole heart into it. I was disappointed when the movie first came out, but now I’m ready to see it with fresh eyes — especially since it was directed by the Wachowskis of the “Matrix” quadrilogy, and Willems highlights its techniques as being "ahead of their time".

"WASHINGTON, D.C., 24 April 2025 – Starbucks was dealt a double blow today as International Rights Advocates filed a U.S. lawsuit against the coffee titan alleging trafficking and Coffee Watch filed a petition with U.S. customs authorities asking the government to block imports from Brazil to the U.S. of coffee tainted by slavery and forced labor by top importers including Starbucks, Nestlé, JDE, Dunkin’, Illy, and McDonald’s. The petition could end slavery-tainted coffee imports to the U.S. from Brazil, a decision that would have significant consequences for Starbucks: the company relies heavily on coffee from Latin America, especially as escalating trade wars threaten Asian coffee supply chains.

“The coffee industry, led by Starbucks, has slaves working in its supply chain right this minute, and we must stop this abuse, starting in Brazil, as the world’s top coffee producer,” said Etelle Higonnet, Coffee Watch Founder and Director. “We’re talking about a multi-billion-dollar coffee industry and giant corporations like Starbucks that have failed to ensure their supply chains are free of horrific human rights abuses. Starbucks must take action.”"

2025-04-22T19:34:31Z

Pope Francis has significantly reshaped the College of Cardinals, appointing a majority from the Global South and outside Europe. Of the 135 cardinal electors, 80% were chosen by him, ensuring that his successor will be elected by a conclave that better reflects today’s global Catholic population.

However, these cardinals do not all share his views. The Church remains divided on key issues (such as the role of women, Latin Mass, LGBTQ+ topics), and Francis’s reforms have faced resistance—even within the Global South.

Francis has also addressed the Church’s painful legacy, notably its role in colonialism, and has asked forgiveness for abuses against Indigenous peoples. He has worked toward a more inclusive Church, exemplified by his major project: the Synod on Synodality—a global consultation that included voices from outside the Church hierarchy.

Despite its limitations and criticism, Francis leaves behind a Church that is more open and diverse, though still marked by deep tensions. The next pope will inherit an institution in transition—shaped largely by Francis’s vision and choices.

https://nyti.ms/3RXkNEK

2025-04-17T18:49:14Z

Since 2022, the government of Nayib Bukele in El Salvador has enforced a state of exception, suspending constitutional guarantees and carrying out mass incarcerations, often without evidence or fair trials.

The Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) embodies this authoritarian approach. Amnesty International (…) warned of the dangers of CECOT. “Reports point to extreme overcrowding, insufficient access to medical care, and widespread mistreatment amounting to cruel, inhuman, or degrading acts. In addition, Salvadoran organizations have reported over 300 deaths in state custody, some showing clear signs of violence.”

CECOT’s staging — men crammed together, heads shaved, shirtless, shackled — is designed not only to display control but also to appeal to a public hungry for order, at the expense of human dignity. Punitive aesthetics go viral: violence is showcased as a sign of efficiency. Justice retreats, replaced by propaganda, where imprisoned bodies are displayed as trophies. The message is clear: instill fear, reassure a political base, assert brutal authority. These are not accidents — they are deliberate gestures, where cruelty becomes a language of state power.

The case of Kilmar Ábrego García, a legal U.S. resident illegally deported to El Salvador and held at CECOT despite a court ruling ordering his release, illustrates blatant disregard for the rule of law. The visit by Republican members of Congress, followed by the denial of access to Democratic Senator Van Hollen, reveals a broader trend: this prison is no longer just a national tool of repression — it has become a partisan symbol. The Republicans’ visit was not aimed at impartial human rights assessment, but at signaling symbolic loyalty to Donald Trump. Posing in this brutal facility, alongside an authoritarian regime, sends a message: order, force, and repression are not only accepted — they are celebrated. It is a political statement set against a backdrop of institutional violence.

American lawmakers are crossing borders to pose in a brutal prison, solely to prove their loyalty to the President of the United States. How far this could go is unknown — and that’s precisely what’s so alarming.

This scenario describes the emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — represented by Agent-3 — an intelligence equal to that of a human, followed by the rise of Superintelligence (Agent-4), far surpassing human intelligence, around 2027. There are two possible outcomes: ‘race’ — where the AI goes rogue (misaligned), or ‘slowdown’ — where security measures keep the AI under control (aligned). Competition with China adds complexity, and the window to make a decision is narrow.

2025-04-03T14:13:31Z

The video description is important. It's about the nature of Trump counter-revolution and his options after the defeat of the Ukrainian war.
English subtitles are available in the video settings.

quoting naddr1qq…tzm5
In this long video ,Todd exposes the limits of Trump’s governance. He develops two main ideas.

1. The Racial Dimension of Trumpist Governance

Todd argues that the racial issue is key to understanding Trump’s political logic. According to him, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s made white equality less self-evident than it was during segregation. Neoliberalism under Reagan in the 1980s further deepened these inequalities, weakening an American democracy based on the principle of equality.

Since his election, Trump has pursued policies aimed at weakening the federal government, the guarantor of civil rights. He has particularly targeted the Washington, D.C. public sector, which is predominantly Black. Well-known examples include attacks on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies, transgender people, gender theories, and discussions on racial issues in the U.S.

Todd also notes a symbolic element: Elon Musk, of South African origin, leads DOGE, which coincided with tensions between the United States and South Africa at the beginning of Trump’s term.

However, Todd believes this “white supremacist counter-revolution” is doomed to fail. The main reason: the low level of education among the white population in the U.S., contrasting with the strong presence of Chinese and Indian professionals in Silicon Valley.

2. A Parallel with Russia in 1917

Todd also examines the impact of military defeats on revolutions. He compares the current situation in the U.S. to that of Russia in 1917, when Lenin had to choose between continuing the war (as the Mensheviks wanted) or signing peace with Germany to focus on internal revolution (the Bolshevik position). Lenin opted for the latter.

According to Todd, the U.S. lost the war in Ukraine after the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023, exposing the West’s inability to supply enough military equipment to Ukraine against the Russian offensive.

In this context, Trump finds himself leading a white supremacist counter-revolution just as the U.S. faces a military defeat—one that is more widely recognized in America than in Europe.

Two Possible Scenarios

1. Trump prioritizes domestic policy: He abandons global hegemony to focus on internal tensions. This could lead to violent conflict, potentially even civil war.

2. Trump chooses to continue the war: He might seek to mobilize Europe, especially Germany, to ramp up military-industrial efforts. However, aware of their own limitations, the Russians could respond with the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

We are at a turning point in world history.

3 of 3) Chris Hedges: The Last Chapter of the Genocide

quoting naddr1qv…6swn
Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. The Palestinians will be forced to choose between death or deportation. There are no other options (...) The Trump White House is cheering on the slaughter. They attack critics of the genocide as “antisemites” who should be silenced, criminalized or deported while funneling billions of dollars in weapons to Israel. Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is the inevitable denouement of its settler colonial project and apartheid state. The seizure of all of historic Palestine — with the West Bank soon, I expect, to be annexed by Israel — and displacement of all Palestinians has always been the Zionist goal (...) what is coming now will (...) rival the most atrocious war crimes of the twentieth century, including the mass starvation, wholesale slaughter and leveling of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 by the Nazis (...) It will forever shatter the myth that we, or any Western nation, respect the rule of law or are the protectors of human rights, democracy and the so-called “virtues” of Western civilization. Israel’s barbarity is our own. We may not understand this, but the rest of the globe does."
