Droit international : le dernier garde-fou face à la loi du plus fort Le monde menace de basculer d’un ordre fondé sur le droit international vers un système dominé par la loi du plus fort, au détriment des droits et de la stabilité.

Face à la bascule de l’ordre mondial, nous avons un appel aux dirigeant·es de ce monde :

JUSTICE. PROTECTION. COURAGE.

La loi du plus fort doit être combattue. Le droit international doit être défendu.

www.amnesty.fr/actualites/d...

Mais l’alternative proposée par ceux qui veulent détruire le droit international est dangereuse.

Elle repose sur un monde sans idéal de justice et d’égalité. Sans boussole morale.

Jamais le droit international n’a été autant attaqué.

Nous sommes à un tournant : l’ordre mondial bâti après-guerre menace de s’effondrer.

If your point is we are more intelligent than bacteria because of our differing genetics, yeah, sure. But we are speaking about comparison between human beings here, not humans vs bacteria.

In this specific case, genetics plays a very narrow role.

In the case of human people, intelligence is not related to ancestry nor any identified genetic differences in any meaningful way, outsides of genetic sickness.

Life and education is the determining factor of what we commonly call "intelligence"

Well, if it's the case, congrats, you're now a nazi nutjob.

Thankfully it's a very naïve vision of evolution, and nazis are actually wrong.

So you would agree that letting evolution "do its thing" would lead to mankind becoming more stupid, and therefore risking extinction. Therefore, you also must certainly agree that smart humans should take things into their hand and take the necessary actions to ensure the survival of the human race

That's simply not scientifically accurate. It would also first require to define intelligence, which is well, actually not defined scientifically.

"Intelligence" is not related to genetics, but this idea has been largely propagated by eugenists to justify not providing education for all and social services, because they justified it was wasted money. Eugenics is not only about sterilizing and killing people.

Ms Milan knows this world from the inside. She’s not some law prof sucking up to Trump hoping for a federal judgeship. She has been in the room.

Thread.

Also it was a little kind of always the same, and don't get me started on female characters.

Oh God…

Pour autant, Poutine admet désormais publiquement que la situation économique 🇷🇺 n’est pas bonne : le PIB s’est contracté de 1,8% en janvier-février et la production industrielle est dans le rouge.

Evolution du nombre de drones tirés par la Russie et taux d'interception

Evolution du nombre de drones tirés par la Russie et de drones ayant échappé aux interceptions

En moyenne, la 🇷🇺 tire actuellement 250 drones à longue portée par nuit. C’est le niveau le plus élevé depuis le début de la guerre. Heureusement, le taux d’interception a augmenté ces derniers mois et seuls une vingtaine de ces Shahed traversent les défenses anti-aériennes 🇺🇦.

The most basic fundamentals of cognitive processing.

Humans observe events, narrate stories to explain them, and assign emotions to those stories.

This helps illustrate how influencers can emotionally manipulate outcomes with biased or false narratives around events.

Also it needs to stop pretending to be the user's friend, this triggers all my manipulation alarms.

Disclaimer : I don't use it, my clients use it to analyze all their problems and they send me the analysis when they don't know what to do with them.

It just need to stop pretending to think for God's sake.

Claude did it again. I don't know how the thing managed to find the code responsible for a weird crash, but it did it!
Then it proceeded to produce a complete bullshit analysis of the problem and followed by a bunch of dumb, counterproductive fix proposals.
There is good product hidden in Claude.

'We must become less reliant on American tools': Windows 11 is so bad the French government is switching to Linux — and Microsoft should be worried Is 2027 set to be the year of Linux? There are signs that this might actually be the case, this time.

This article is weird. France isn't switching to Linux because Windows is bad - it's switching because Microsoft is a US company, US companies fall under US law, and thus simply cannot be trusted with EU data. Windows can't "solve" this. There's no "fix" here.

The Onion says it has struck a deal to take over Infowars The move would allow the satire site to turn Alex Jones' conspiracist creation into a parody of itself.

NEW: The Onion says it has struck a deal to take over Infowars. That deal still must be approved by a judge. This news was first reported by @pablo.show. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

He also accuses The Onion of "wanting to wear my skin like Silence of the Lambs" which is a really horrible visual

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Brussels Times: EU Defence at Risk of US “Kill Switch”

A Brussels think tank warns that over three-quarters of European countries depend on US cloud giants like Microsoft, AWS, Google, and Oracle for critical defence systems.

❗️Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US seeks Iran’s surrender and warned Tehran will not submit to pressure, citing deep mistrust and contradictory signals from Washington. #Iran
