Entre Mayotte, la loi speciale pour le budget de l'Etat, il a choisi Pau. Une facon de dire qu'il se garde une place au Soleil pour Apres. Il ne croit meme pas rester au pouvoir. Quel abruti fini...
Le Premier ministre François Bayrou s'est dit favorable à autoriser à nouveau le cumul des mandats pour les parlementaires, en confirmant lundi soir devant le conseil municipal de Pau qu'il resterait maire de la ville #AFP
Tens of thousands of years ago, modern humans mated with Neanderthals. But exactly how and when that happened, and who those groups of humans were, was less known. New research adds some clues.
There's this thing on Mastodon, called Books of My Heart. When I see it, I often think of Waltz of My Heart and start singing. I'll need to write a parody.
"Books of my heart, reading away. Drawing me further in, than yesterday. I see the library, there just for me. All of that section's done, now this one please."
Clusters of drones have been reported flying over at least six states. The Biden administration is pushing Congress to pass legislation that would expand counter-drone authorities.
One glass of wine, and i'm belting out Ivor Novello songs with the original artists! Thank goodness, I had the common sense to switch from Mary Ellis and Vanessa Lee to Olive Gilbert and Trefor Jones, whose ranges I can sing without ruining my voice! I don't even want to be a supprano! Why on Earth didn't I just transpose them as always? And now, I shall return to my own personal Eisteddfod, as I listen to the tripple harp, while reading The Mabinogion (, in English, of course_). I blame this squarely on Ivor Novello and his mother! They sent me down this delightful rabbit whole of Welsh exploration. I was perfectly happy being bored and quiet. Now, I've got all sorts of theatre people to research and an entirely new genre of music and instrument to learn about! And hello to anyone Welsh reading this. Thank you for your beautiful music and lovly stories! I'm enjoying them emensley.
Update. Haha. That didn't work. After a few songs, I went back to Novello. Ah well. I'm still smiling.
There is a song that reminds me of Clara Novello Davies, and every time I hear it, I think of her. It embodies all that she stood for, not just becasue of the singing, but because of her philosophy on life. It's I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. But tonight, I was very naughty, and created my own lyrics to it. "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, but I won't try, and here is why, because I sing off key!" haha
What a strange instrument the tripple harp is. It's huge, and its sound is entirely different than the harps I'm accustomed to hearing. Sadly, I haven't heard many, but I have heard a few, and this is like none of them. It must take years to learn how to play it.
US-American Prof Jeffrey Sachs: "NATO Chief Admits NATO Expansion Was Key to Russian Invasion of Ukraine - The continuing U.S. obsession with NATO enlargement is profoundly irresponsible and hypocritical. And now Ukrainians are paying a terrible price."

- For humans to improve their material conditions they must have access and consume mass produced industrial products. Therefore they should also be engaged in industrial mass production in the "From each according to its ability, to each according to its need" manner. And equality will just fall from the sky among producers and consumers.
- Industrial production requires mass extraction of metals and chemicals from earth, as well as fuels. There is an infinite amount of materials that can be mined and there is infinite capacity by the ecosystem to recuperate from the damage caused by mining and industrial activity, including power generation (fossil, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear energy transformation - all with a very high ecological footprint) .
- The control of mining, production, transportation, the nature and form of production, is scientifically determined, the decisions are made by experts, and are not up for discussion or debate. The overseeing of execution of those decisions requires central contr

There is an infinite amount of materials that can be mined and there is infinite capacity by the ecosystem to recuperate from the damage caused by mining and industrial activity, including power generation (fossil, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear energy transformation - all with a very high ecological footprint) .
- The control of mining, production, transportation, the nature and form of production, is scientifically determined, the decisions are made by experts, and are not up for discussion or debate. The overseeing of execution of those decisions requires central control and power, policing, and that fits well within a socialist society.
- The centralized control of production and consumption, the overseeing of operations, and the policing of everyone's activities according to central plan requires a state apparatus.
- Class is purely determined by economics, the amount of labor exchanged for the amount of consumption, will be regulated, but power of those making decisions and those executing them are not class determinants.
- Going from a world where 80% of the population contributing to mass industrial production and 20% benefiting from this production, we can multiply production so everyone benefits "equally". So x3 x4 current industrial production?
- There is little room for discussing all this as it will be all up in the hands of "experts"/"scientists" to decide. Where people live, how they live, how they work, how they spend their free time, can all be determined by experts.
- Experts are recognized by state institutions such as academia, whose existence is unrelated to capitalism. Universities, research institutions, health and medical organizations, would have been created due to scientific development despite of whether capitalism existed or not. So it is safe to incorporate and continue those social structures as unrelated to capitalism. And so is social control and violent forces terrorizing the masses.
And this is only a stage of transformation, true communism will spring out of this transitional period of superstate superpower control of the globe.
If assumptions are weak or outright wrong, the entire program seems fragile or even disastrous, to humanity and its environment.
Open discussion on whether linux continues to be free software or a recruited tool in the hands of Nationalists instigating war and imperialist domination
Should the user make a wise and educated choice whether to follow development of this non-Free fork linux has become?

Basically the article aims to help some of you decide on your own when and which kernel is the last “safe” kernel to use. In the bottom of this article is relevant release dates of lts…
The use of resources from all of us in civilization is taking more than what this world continually provides. It is not rocket science to understand this can't go on. But staying with civilization is just trying to do that. Many should really depart from it and be growing all the things for themselves with those along with them. populationmatters.org/the-fact…
The drones have been seen above critical infrastructure like reservoirs, rail stations and military bases. The governor says there is "no known threat," but the FBI is still investigating.
Nothing quite says 'Spirit of Christmas" like lopping down an 80yo Norwegian pine, and shipping it over to Trafalgar Square, so millions of foreigners can watch it slowly die over the next few weeks.
"Denn die deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza steht außer Frage – auch wenn die Richter des IGH erst in Jahren abschließend urteilen werden, ob es sich dabei im juristischen Sinne um einen Völkermord handelt oder nicht."
Israel begeht einen Völkermord in Gaza – zu diesem Urteil kommt ein neuer Bericht von Amnesty. Da stellt sich die Frage: Ist Deutschland mitschuldig am Völkermord?
