HelloQuitteX, une plateforme d'outils pour quitter X


David Chavalarias, Directeur de recherche au CNRS et au Centre d'analyse et de mathématique sociales (CAMS) de l'EHESS et Directeur de l'Institut des systèmes complexes de Paris Île-de-France, explique que X (ex-Twitter) est devenu toxique depuis son rachat par Elon Musk. Son laboratoire au CNRS a constaté, documenté et quantifié de façon extremement detaillée une augmentation de l'hostilité des échanges, amplifiée par l'algorithme. Musk a abandonné la modération et utilisé X pour promouvoir des opinions d'extrême droite.

Le collectif HelloQuitteX propose d'accompagner les utilisateurs vers des plateformes décentralisées comme Mastodon ou BlueSky, offrant plus de liberté. Une date clé, le 20 janvier, a été fixée pour organiser cette transition.

David Chavalarias souligne que HelloQuitteX est une initiative apolitique et transpartisane. L'objectif est de dénoncer l'instrumentalisation politique des données des utilisateurs et d'offrir des alternatives plus saines. Le projet vise à donner aux utilisateurs les outils pour reprendre le contrôle de leurs données.

NDLR cet interressant article sur Synthmedia presente toutefois le leger inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir être partagé sur le fediverse. Néanmoins la plateforme de publication permet un partage sur X directement. Un comble..

Le collectif HelloQuitteX.com joue habilement sur la notoriété du jouet emblématique Hello Kitty pour interpeller. Tandis que Hello Kitty incarne l'univers kawaii et commercial, HelloQuitteX détourne ce nom évocateur pour inviter à une réflexion critique, notamment sur les usages des réseaux sociaux. Le clin d’œil réside dans la phonétique : "Hello Kitty" devient "Hello Quit X", suggérant un adieu à des pratiques numériques jugées toxiques, tout en capitalisant sur la familiarité d'une marque mondialement connue pour marquer les esprits

les deux invités ( et surtout #HélèneTordjman ) dénoncent les dérives de l’ #économieécologique, qui tend à se rapprocher de plus en plus de l’ #économie environnementale dont elle avait pour ambition de se différencier au départ. Ainsi, les outils de la “ #croissanceverte”, du “capitalisme vert”, du “ #développementdurable ” ou du “ #GreenNewDeal”, qui ont désormais acquis une place de choix dans les discours #politiques, ne sont selon eux qu’un réemploi des outils marchands à l’origine de la destruction initiale de nos #écosystèmes.

Guerre à Gaza


ladepeche.fr/2024/12/28/situat…

Cet établissement était le dernier grand hôpital opérationnel dans le nord de la bande côtière palestinienne. Il est désormais "hors service" après un raid israélien à proximité, a déclaré l’OMS. "De premières informations font état de services clés incendiés et détruits pendant le raid. 60 membres du personnel soignant et 25 patients sont dans un état critique", a pointé l’organisation internationale. "L’occupation (israélienne) a complètement détruit l’ossature médicale, humanitaire et de secours dans le nord de Gaza", a dénoncé le porte-parole de la Défense civile gazaouie, Mahmoud Bassal, précisant que le responsable local des secouristes était également détenu.

Contactée, l’armée israélienne n’a pas fait de commentaire dans l’immédiat au sujet de ces arrestations. Le directeur de l’hôpital reste de son côté injoignable pour l’instant.

Un hôpital au rôle crucial
"L’armée a demandé à tous les jeunes hommes de se déshabiller avant de sortir de l’hôpital et de se rendre dans une école qu’elle utilise comme centre de détention et d’interrogatoire", raconte Mohammad, qui n’a pas souhaité donner son nom de famille par crainte d’être poursuivi. "Les soldats nous ont posé des questions sur les résistants, le Hamas, les armes et les gens qui filmaient les bombardements et les destructions", a ajouté cet homme de 48 ans.

Depuis le 6 octobre, l’armée israélienne a intensifié son offensive terrestre et aérienne dans le nord de la bande de Gaza pour empêcher selon elle les combattants du Hamas de se regrouper. C’est dans cet objectif qu’elle a indiqué avoir lancé vendredi matin une opération près de l’hôpital #KamalAdwan, au rôle crucial dans une bande de Gaza aux services de santé exsangues après plus d’un an de guerre. L’établissement, dont le directeur alertait depuis plusieurs jours déjà qu’il était pris pour cible, serait "utilisé comme cachette par les terroristes", avancent les Israéliens, ce que dément "catégoriquement" le Hamas.

"La situation est catastrophique, il n’y a plus de service médical, d’ambulances et de secouristes dans le Nord", assure un témoin sur place, Ammar al-Barch, âgé de 50 ans. "L’armée continue ses raids sur l’hôpital et les maisons autour. On entend des tirs de drones et d’artillerie."

Le ministère des Affaires étrangères de l’Iran, ennemi d’Israël, a condamné "l’attaque brutale des soldats du régime israélien", y voyant "le dernier exemple en date" de ses "crimes de guerre, crimes contre l’humanité et violations flagrantes des normes et lois internationales". La Défense civile de Gaza a par ailleurs fait état de 9 morts dans une frappe israélienne ce samedi matin sur une maison dans le centre du territoire.

En riposte à une attaque sans précédent du Hamas sur le sol israélien le 7 octobre 2023, l’armée israélienne a lancé une offensive dévastatrice contre la bande de #Gaza, qu’elle assiège depuis. Selon le dernier bilan du ministère de la Santé du gouvernement du Hamas, 45 484 Palestiniens, essentiellement des civils, y ont péri au total, dont au moins 48 en l’espace de 24 heures. L’attaque du #Hamas a causé la mort de plus de 1200 personnes côté israélien, en majorité des civils, selon un décompte basé sur des chiffres officiels.

Barbarism, meaning oxymoronic unto itself


‘Barbarism’

Is its meaning ‘absence of civilization’, or ‘extreme cruelty and brutality’? It’s the only word I can think of that is oxymoronic unto itself. Unlikely pre-civ humanways were as cruel and brutal en masse as rotating cohorts of civilized humans have been and continue to be. Barbarism’s commonly connoted meaning manifests not so much in wild humans, as in civilization’s enforced compliance with authoritarianism, power hierarchy, domination and exploitation. It’s not like groups of humans at war or whatever return indigenous. They get uber violent, rape pillage & plunder as civilized beings. After they get it out of their system, most return to civilization’s preferred norms, proud tax paying citizens. Civilization has barbarism built in.

On the edge of oblivion and all the world is Babylon, and all the love and everyone a ship of fools sailing on.

So what am I doing on Christmas night? I'm drinking my second and final glass of wine for the evening (I had the first much earlier this afternoon) and watching the 1950 version of The Dancing Years! I can't believe I actually have it! Olive Gilbert and Dunstan Hart are both in it, too! This is going to be absolutely wonderful!
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

Oh, that was absolutely fantastic! What an amazing performance! It's the first time I saw a truly professional version of an Ivor Novello work, aside from the mess that was the Glamorous Night film, whose only saving graces were Mary Ellis and Trefor Jones. While I loved Perchance to dream and King's Rhapsody, both were amateur productions. This was how his works were meant to be seen and heard! And the woman who played Maria equalled Mary Ellis in her singing abilities,, including the amazing portemento and high notes! And Olive Gilbert not only sang but spoke as well! Dunstand Hart just sang, but judging by the script, that was probably how the original play was written, too. Overall, I would highly recommdns this not just to fans of Ivor Novello but to anyone who wants to see a romantic story with beautiful music, sung properly!

The Easter Story at Christmas


It’s always tempting at #Christmas to focus on the story of the birth of #Jesus. After all, the reason we’re celebrating is the #nativity. However, it’s super important to also remember the #Easter story. As we learn from Luke 24:1-7:

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”


Without the resurrection of Jesus, his birth would be no more important than yours or mine. Instead, Jesus rising again from the dead definitively demonstrated that he is the Messiah; the King of Kings. The Easter story is why Christmas is so important to begin with.

Three Wise Men


It’s Christmas! Let us rejoice and remember when the Three Wise Men travelled to #Bethlehem from afar, guided by a star, to bring gifts to baby #Jesus as we continue that tradition to this day.

This story is from Matthew 2:9-11:

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.


Oh how joyful they must have felt when they met Mary with baby Jesus! I am delighted to share in that joy today when celebrating Christmas.

When kindness becomes a habit, it improves our health

I'm an atheist, but I still enjoy various types of music, including the religious variety, as some is quite beautiful. To that end, I posted this a few years ago on Facebook. I braved the nightmare that is the main site today and was able to find it. I hope it brings joy to you.

Now, it's time for some Christmas music history! Some of these are playlists, so just skip what you don't like, I promise, this is not the usual music you hear in shops!

I have a few time periods in mind, but let us begin with the very first Christmas song ever written.

Jesus Refulsit Omnium - Roman Christmas Song - YouTube

youtube.com/watch?v=izRVH2avtz…

And now, for something a bit more modern. Don't expect to hear Elvis on this list, though.

Here are some songs from the eighteenth century! Unfortunately, these are just instrumentals.

On to the Regency! Yay! Sadly, there isn't much available from then. Please feel free to make suggestions.

This may or may not be authentic, but it's pleasant. Again, it's instrumental.

Regency Music - Peaceful Christmas

This is real, in more ways than one, as the song existed then, and it's being played on a genuine Regency piano!

youtube.com/watch?v=iSJwQidimD…

On to the Victorian era. Believe it or not, while a large number of familiar Christmas songs came from then, I can't find a good playlist! Again, if you know of one, please suggest it. While this recording is modern, you can be sure that Victorians would have been very familiar with the arrangements and that many also spent time in the church where this was recorded, probably hearing the same organ, too!

Victorian Carols from St Bartholomew the Great

Now, let's turn to my second favourite period next to the Regency, the Edwardian! This extremely special! All of the following was actually recorded then! I have made it a tradition to listen to this every year. Some of the tunes may be familiar, but in several cases, the lyrics may not be. The last one is a real treat for the children and those young at heart!

I'm not very familiar with this one.

This is from two years after King Edward's death, but I had to include it, as it's a lovely version. Note that the link that I originally provided no longer exists, so I had to find another. But here, you can actually see the grammophone!

"Silent Night! Hallowed Night!" Elsie Baker on VV Model XI, 1912.

youtube.com/watch?v=nElAx0MpBs…

Finally, as my friends know, I love Eton College, so I had to include this. It breaks the theme slightly, in that it doesn't belong to a specific time period, but songs from different times are sung, and all in a very traditional manner.

These don't fit anywhere, but they're so enjoyable that I had to include them. They're by Mozart. No, not Wolfgang, but but his father, Leopold!

The first was written with Christmas and children in mind. But let's just forget we're adults for a moment.

The Birth of Jesus - Luke 2:1-20 (NIV)


Christmas is a great time to celebrate with family and friends, and enjoy the gifts and cards we give to each other in celebration. But it's also a time to reflect on the story of the nativity and the glorious day that Jesus was revealed to be the Messiah.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,
and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
