The French Police are fighting the Firefighters now, who have joined in the protests. These thugs need to be careful they are outnumbered 50 to 1 and if the people actually fight back they are... Baisés As the French call it.

Protests that started in Spain and then spread to France and Brazil have now started in Belgium. People are sick of being told there is 'no money' by billionaires who are becoming trillionaires.

Arresting 6000 students? For wanting more and better paid teachers? Right and centrist policies care only for economic growth and ordinary people are left holding the bill, which translates to badly paid teachers. If France doesn't go left, the French people can always bring back the OG equalizer.

Surprised more people aren’t alarmed about the financial condition of Oracle. Revenue flat for 15 years adjusted for inflation, only real growth engine is unprofitable AI data centers, future entirely tied to OpenAI and the most ambitious infra projects in history. It’s dying!

> You can use your effort to achieve this through peaceful methods. And yet, when a system gets entrenched, does regulatory capture, lobbying and an insane amount of capital, lawyers and force against ordinary people, sometimes the people have to resist violently. Nazis didn't respond to "debates"

I am sure German SS considered the French Resistance terrorism. I am also sure the slavers in the South considered John Brown a terrorist. I do know the difference, and so does anybody with a right moral compass. Luigi is a modern day hero.

Who is United Healthcare CEO to decide who lives and who dies with his profit chasing "healthcare"? > Who are you to decided what is reasonable? Again, when peaceful measures are exhausted, there is the Luigi method. Give people real affordable healthcare and you won't get Luigis.

ath3nd.bsky.social @ath3nd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Oh yeah, he should have written United a strongly worded letter, that'll surely teach em'. Economic violence by denying life-saving healthcare is still violence. Lives are still lost because of denied healthcare, which means effectively murder. Legalized, but still murder. Pushback = inevitable

United Healthcare denies legitimate medical treatments, the executive was not random. The CEO was the executive of the company with the highest insurance policy denial rate (33%) in the US. Thousands of people died because of his greed. Not a "random executive". www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDOS...

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

As an ancestor, I confirm this was the case. We had to use 80px terminals...oh wait, that's modern python. Ahem... I guess we had an SVN instance running on a server in the janitor's closet, and we were resolving merge conflicts all huddled over the same CRT monitor. Those were the days.
