Abominable

Extrait de l'article mediapart ci-dessus :
« Lorsque j’ai été interpellé, les policiers m’ont tiré par les cheveux puis m’ont embarqué dans la voiture. Dedans, l’un d’entre eux m’a tiré si fort le bras que j’ai cru qu’il allait se casser. Je demandais ce que j’avais fait. La seule réponse que j’ai obtenue : “Ferme ta gueule” », raconte le jeune homme de 16 ans.

Placé pour la première fois de sa vie en garde à vue, il raconte « quarante-huit heures d’enfer ». « On nous a servi un seul repas par jour. On était quatre dans une cellule pour trois qui puait la pisse. Les policiers tapaient sur les barres en métal avec leur matraque pour nous réveiller la nuit. J’ai été traité de “sale petit Arabe” », affirme le lycéen.

Sa mère, qui s’est rendue au commissariat pour essayer de voir son fils, n’a, selon elle, guère reçu un meilleur accueil. « Quand j’ai demandé à voir mon fils, le policier à l’entrée m’a crié dessus, puis m’a dit de partir. J’ai cru qu’il allait me frapper », témoigne-t-elle.

Part of the problem is that helping us heal would mean removing those men from their hunting grounds, so we could return to the communities and professions they drove many of us out of. But that's a lot of work and fuss. "Rehabilitation" lets people feel good about maintaining the status quo

How Ontario’s private clinics are draining taxpayer dollars and staff from public health care www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

As the Ford government diverts funding to private facilities, Ontario’s public operating rooms are underutilized. Many sit dark on weekends; others become storage rooms, a monumental waste of an expensive resource.

This waste is compounded by a massive price premium. CBC News found Ontario paid Clearpoint’s for-profit facilities 2.5 times more for cataract surgeries and 3.1 times more for knee arthroscopies than public hospitals.

Healthy life expectancy in England's most deprived areas lowered to 48.5 years in 2022-24. Even the *average* was only 61. Plus it's only for England but afaiu cuts all UK pensions. Awful.

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
