what creates this horror is not Jews or Judaism, that's just the causus belli. it's the logic and necessity of a world that died in the colonial independence movements of the 1950s and 1960s, except for one stubborn hanger-on that survived into the digital age.

In 1852, the explorer Heinrich Barth met Africans in Baghirmi (Chad) who had visited Basra (Iraq), read the works of Aristotle and Plato, and were as inquisitive about Europe as he was about Africa. www.africanhistoryextra.com/p/what-did-a...

The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) looks like a ferret dressing up as a cheetah for Halloween. They're native to a semi-desert grassland strip from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. Like a skunk, they can spray a foul-smelling fluid from anal glands. Let's talk about them. (📷: Petra Prager)
A marbled polecat photo from Petra Prager.  It looks almost exactly like a ferret, but the arched back is sort of orange with brown dots on it similar to a cheetah, and the head has a white stripe that reminds me of a skunk, with a long floofy tail and dark limbs.  This one looks alert and at rest.

There's virtually no reason to do this, but like everything happening in and around this area right now, it makes more sense if you think of it as mid-century science fiction and 'World Of Tomorrow' hype turned into its own religion

J'étais étudiant dans les années 1890 et voici ce que je voudrais dire aux jeunes: il faut assiéger la préfecture de police il n'y a que cela qu'ils comprennent
protestation fut organisée par les étudiants le 1e juillet après-midi au Quartier latin. Alors qu'elle était déjà dispersée, les policiers prirent position en début de soirée sur le boulevard Saint-Michel, et chargèrent sans sommation les passants'. Antoine Nuger, un employé de commerce qui prenait un verre au Café Harcourt, est tué dans la bagarre.
Emeutes et barricades
Le quartier Latin fut pendant plusieurs jours le théâtre d'émeutes, avec omnibus renversés, kiosques incendiés, barricades.
Siège de la préfecture
Dans la nuit du 3 au 4 juillet, le siège de la préfecture de police fit des centaines de blessés.

Quand t'as cru que t'étais nommé médecin chez les Wisigoths, mais que tu t'es planté et en fait, c'est chez les Ostrogoths☠️😅
Les Wisigoths ne versaient au médecin ses honoraires qu'en cas de succès. Les Ostrogoths livraient le médecin, en cas de décès de son patient, à la famille du défunt qui pouvait le mettre à mort ou user de ses services toute sa vie. Ainsi, à la mort de son épouse, la reine Austrigilde, Gontran, roi de Bourgogne et deuxième fils de Clotaire ler, fit tuer ses deux médecins. Les médecins, quand is n'encourent pas la peine capitale, se voient infliger des peines corporelles et notamment I'amputation du poing droit.

Extremely proud of all the Iraqi female (and a number of male) social media influencers and activists who are speaking up against the highly regressive and misogynistic amended Personal Status Law in Iraq. They know that by speaking up they are putting so much at risk, but they are doing it anyways.

Je confirme ayant pu expérimenter police française et police allemande en action. Les policiers allemands reçoivent manifestement une formation psychologique sérieuse, ils sont courtois, hyper calmes et essaient tjs de faire retomber les tensions. Et ils ont une capacité d'écoute qui m'a bluffée.

À la manif des lycéens hier à Marseille, un vieux pote à moi qui est invalide et maigre comme un clou s'est fait tabasser au sol par les CRS, sous les yeux de sa fille de 14 ans. Il a passé la nuit aux urgences. Pas de fractures, heureusement, mais des bleus partout. Et sa gosse en état de choc.

I will never forget all the cynical gainsaying and disinformation about the strike on Al-Ahli hospital ten days into Israel’s destruction of Gaza. ‘Fog of war’. Almost three years later, fewer than half of Gaza’s hospitals remain even partially functional and there is no fog. Only dust and rubble.
