Pendant ce temps, sur Radio Bolloré, un religieux homonyme – descendant ? – d’un des pères de la pensée contre-révolutionnaire, explique que « le problème de la France, c’est les Lumières ».

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

This is a masterful and subtle discussion of the idea of "settler colonialism" by Aziz Rana in the fall @dissentmag.bsky.social - both in the ways that it can be misused, and the reasons that it remains a meaningful concept www.dissentmagazine.org/article/whos...

Who’s Afraid of “Settler Colonialism”? - Dissent Magazine

If we dismiss concepts because of particular examples of misuse, we encourage the repression of discomforting histories and ideas.

Vu hier en librairie, un livre pour enfants sur les mammouths (et plein d'autres animaux dans d'autres livres de la collection) où TOUTES les illustrations sont faites par IA.
Et c'est turbo-moche. Dès la couverture. 😡

Couverture du "Fantastique livre des mammouths", illustré par IA (le prompt designer, un nouveau métier semble-t-il, est Pippa Boom).

From sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/woke...

(There is even a far more sympathetic and even more vindicatory narrative available. The woke crowd claimed there were a bunch of authoritarian bigot-fanatics waiting in the wings unless we suppress them through various fairly soft means, largely social pressure and ostracism at harshest. The reactionary centre spent ages saying they were ridiculous, and in alliance with the right basically won in the cultural sphere meaning we did not suppress those forces. Then American political life was in fact taken over by authoritarian bigots who proceeded to defund USAID because aid goes to too many dark skinned people and give the president power to review college syllabi. How were the woke not just right? Maybe their flaw was that their methods of suppression were not sufficiently harsh! Whether or not you think this is fair, for what its worth I think it oversimplifies too, I think it's obvious that this telling of events will clearly be tempting to plenty of people. Certainly in the near future, and who knows maybe for future generations too.)

Une chose que ne comprendront jamais (ou ne veulent pas voir) les gens qui minimisent le fascisme contemporain, c’est que les fascistes SAVENT que le fascisme historique reste légèrement impopulaire, et donc qu’ils prennent garde à ne pas EXACTEMENT reproduire ses crimes et symboles (et encore…)

Over the last year, I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Joan Scott. It was clear how much the experience of her father -- victim of McCarthyism -- shaped her as a scholar and person. This essay is a powerful testament to that.

El juez relator del juicio a Bolsonaro usa un concepto interesante para definir parte de los cargos al grupo golpista: organización de "milicias digitales". Ahí se lo dejo para los que se enredan enteros para definir los bots de Kast.
