Dinx deemed it "unbearable" that everything comes down to a single voice and felt that the public now knows what to expect.

He called on the public to protect them. #StarAcademy #StarAcademy #ProtectionDesCandidats #VotePublic (translated)

Frenchie estimated that the 21st century could go down in history as one of great French humiliation, attributing part of this situation to the country's political choices. He contrasted the industrial ambition of fifty years ago, when, according to him, nuclear projects were being launched and scientists, engineers, and workers were building for future generations, with current proposals. He specifically mentioned the legacy of Pasteur, the Curies, and the Lumière brothers. He criticized the adoption in the Assembly the day before of an amendment aimed at taxing data circulating on the Internet, claiming that eleven votes were enough to pass it. According to him, such a measure risked hindering the opportunities that the Internet offers to young people, researchers, and those without fortune or networks. He also contested the idea that the tax would be borne solely by content providers, estimating that the cost could be passed on to their services. Addressing the deputies who voted for the amendment, Frenchie reproached them for seeking new tax revenues rather than questioning public spending that he deemed misused. He believed they were betraying their responsibility to past and future generations and warned against the risk of one generation squandering what ten others had built. He concluded that he did not want children to leave France to build their future and then return as tourists. #France #Souveraineté #Innovation (translated)

Lereduchangement wrote that a multi-billion euro tax had been voted on a Friday by just one vote, while 35 out of 577 deputies were present and the vote gathered 11 votes in favor and 10 against. He noted that this low participation raised particular questions for a measure that, in his view, affected everyone on a daily basis. He clarified that he was not asking for all deputies to be present at every vote, but said it gave the impression that important decisions were sometimes made in isolation, before the rest of the country discovered them. #politique #démocratie #vote (translated)

Cerfia reported that the National Assembly had adopted an amendment to tax companies like PlayStation, Netflix, Google (YouTube), and Amazon at a rate of €0.055 per gigabyte downloaded or viewed by their customers. The amount would be capped at 15% of their revenue in France or 2% of their total revenue, according to Cerfia, which added that the tax could be passed on to customers. Cerfia specified that the bill still needed to be adopted as a whole by the National Assembly and then by the Senate to come into effect. The account also reported that some deputies were already calling for the amendment to be rejected. #Taxe #AssembléeNationale #GéantsNumériques (translated)

Corneille Nangaa criticized the Coalition Article 64 (C64) for straying, in his view, from its initial mission of defending the Constitution by favoring dialogue and then mediation. He asked the movement on whose behalf and between which parties it intended to act as arbitrators. Nangaa stated that a way out of the crisis could be negotiated, but that one should not put the Constitution and those who violated it on the same level. He also rejected any compromise with individuals he accused of wanting to tear apart the fundamental law to obtain a third mandate. He presented Goma as a place of Congolese resistance and indicated that bishops from CENCO and ECC, representatives of the United Nations and the European Union, as well as former heads of state engaged in African Union efforts, had been received there. He invited members of the C64 to go there, calling on them to defend the law rather than to arbitrate between the Constitution and those who violated it. Nangaa compared the situation to Charles de Gaulle's call for resistance in 1940 and argued that the Constitution should remain a limit imposed on power, rather than a bargaining chip. #Constitution #Résistance #RDC (translated)

Guillaume Herblot wrote that 25 years ago, in high school, students did not question the religion or skin color of their classmates and considered themselves primarily as individuals and citizens. He believed that this indifference was part of the normal functioning of society, rather than a lack of clarity. He attributed the evolution he described to a segment of the left, which, according to him, after losing the support of the working classes, sought new electorates by focusing on identities rather than on socio-economic interests. He cited among voters' concerns security, purchasing power, downward social mobility, and the feeling that the rules of the game were being unilaterally changed. In his view, certain political currents had transformed individuals into electoral groups and instrumentalized anti-racist and anti-discrimination discourses for this purpose. Herblot also stated that this approach had not fostered emancipation or republican integration and mentioned, in certain neighborhoods, educational failure, unemployment, and delinquency. He associated this process with Aristotle's analyses of the division of the city into factions and Thucydides on stasis, or internal civil war. He believed that polarization fueled mistrust and resentment, making the debate on integration and secularism more difficult. He concluded that this evolution was the result of a political choice rather than a inevitability. #citoyenneté #intégration #république (translated)

Bally Bagayoko praised a statement published by Politis following the murder of Pengo Bossio Wangi, aged 26, in Trappes. He wrote that it alerted to the normalization of racist speeches and the collective responsibility in the face of the rise of hatred. He deemed that comments fueling contempt, stigmatization, and dehumanization could not be considered trivial, and that the media, political leaders, and citizens had a responsibility in defending human dignity and coexistence. He called for not remaining silent or getting used to racism and hate speech. Bagayoko also commended the organization of a gathering by the municipality of Saint-Denis / Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, at 5:30 PM in front of the town hall of Saint-Denis, 2 place de Caquet, 93200 Saint-Denis. He invited the public to mobilize to denounce racism and defend the values of liberty, equality, fraternity, and solidarity. #ContreLeRacisme #ContreLaHaine #Solidarité #DignitéHumaine #SaintDenis #PierrefitteSurSeine #ContreLeRacisme #ContreLaHaine #Solidarité (translated)

This week, one question runs through our readings: who decides our health, and with what means? In Parliament, the Nutri-Score was blocked by a single vote; a petition can reignite the debate, and every signature counts. The State publishes its strategy against health misinformation, and the WHO reminds us that the majority of avoidable deaths in Europe could be prevented. But health is also determined far from care: in the housing of priority neighborhoods, at the entrance to high school, in universities where equality lacks resources. Several documents give a voice to those who are rarely heard: disabled individuals deprived of their sexual rights, young trans and non-binary people, audiences distanced from sexual health services. On the medico-social side, good news: the waiting time to enter nursing homes is decreasing, although it remains unequal across regions. Finally, in the face of cuts to international aid, three researchers invite us to turn solidarity into actions. Enjoy your reading, and feel free to share these resources with those around you. #pratiquesensante #PromotionDeLaSanté #SantéPublique #NutriScore #DésinformationSanté #PréventionPrimaire #InégalitésSocialesDeSanté #SantéSexuelle #Handicap #MédicoSocial (translated)

Honkai: Star Rail FR introduced Ellen Joe as a lackluster employee of the Victoria maintenance company, tasked with protecting a group of travelers. The account described her as meticulous in her laziness, often late and capable of falling asleep while standing. Even in another world, it added, she had to do her holiday homework. Despite her nonchalant demeanor, Ellen had a tail and sharp teeth similar to those of a shark. The account stated that the character is voiced in Chinese by 萧清源, in Japanese by Wakayama Shion, and in Korean by 이지나. #Satellite #Ellen #ScienceFiction (translated)
