Bruce Cornwell, a coffee grower in Hawaii, “said that workers should be offered pathways to immigrate legally, rather than be rounded up.”

“If we don’t have these immigrant workers, our coffee will be hurting,” he said. “The government should make it easier for these people to come here and work.”

Le truc qu'on vous demande de signer ces jours-ci pour interdire les thérapies de conversion dans l'Union Européenne, c'est pas une énième fucking pétition, c'est une initiative citoyenne européenne, c'est beaucoup plus utile et intéressant.

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

L'initiative citoyenne, c'est un mécanisme prévu par la constitution européenne qui permet aux citoyens de proposer une loi ou une modification de la loi existante à la commission européenne et au parlement européen.

Concrètement, ça veut dire que si l'initiative aboutit, la proposition législative sera examinée par la commission et présentée devant le parlement par le comité à l'origine de l'initiative.

Le dispositif de l'initiative citoyenne européenne existe depuis 2012. C'est pas un dispositif très utilisé, notamment parce qu'il est assez lourd : le comité qui propose l'initiative doit être composé de citoyen-nes d'au moins 7 états-membres, l'initiative ne doit pas être contraire aux valeurs de l'union Européenne, etc. Depuis 2012, seules quelques dizaines d'initiatives citoyennes européennes ont été lancées, et seules 7 ont obtenu le nombre de signatures nécessaires. Si l'initiative pour interdire les thérapies de conversion aboutit, ce sera la huitième ! 🥳

Et après, qu'est-ce qui se passe ? Eh bien honnêtement, la commission européenne peut tout à fait décider de répondre "Vu et s'en tape". C'est ce qui s'est passé par exemple en 2014 lorsqu'une initiative anti-avortement, l'initiative "un de nous", a obtenu les signatures nécessaires (la honte), et que la commission et le parlement ont poliment répondu qu'iels n'allaient pas donner suite.

Mais les mêmes peuvent également décider après examen qu'en effet, le problème soulevé par l'initiative justifie une modification de la législation. Par exemple, les propositions d'une initiative contre la souffrance animale qui a aboutit en 2018 sont en train d'être intégrées au droit européen.

L'ICE c'est un mécanisme qui n'est pas sans défaut, mais qui permet aux citoyens européens d'apporter des propositions devant les législateurs, et donc de faire évoluer la loi.

Bref, si vous êtes citoyen-ne de n'importe quel pays de l'UE, signez l'initiative ! 🙏

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

[Edit : il n'y a pas besoin de résider actuellement dans l'UE pour signer, la citoyenneté suffit.]

The text you are being asked to sign these days about banning conversion therapies in the European Union is not just one more petition: it is a European Citizens' Initiative, which is far more potent and relevant.

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

A European Citizens' Initiative is an instrument defined in the European Constitution, allowing citizens to submit a law or amendment to an existing law to the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Concretely, this means that if the Initiative succeeds, the legislative proposal will be examined by the Commission and submitted to the Parliament by the committee that launched it.

The European Citizens' Initiative system has existed since 2012. It is a relatively rarely used system, notably because it is rather demanding: the committee that authors the Initiative must comprise citizens from at least 7 Member-States, the Initiative must not infringe on the values of the European Union, etc. Since 2012, only a few dozen European Citizens' Initiatives have been attempted, and only 7 of these have succeeded in gathering the required number of signatures. Should the Initiative banning conversion therapies succeed, it would be the eighth to do so.

And after that, what next? Quite honestly, the European Commission could very well decided to answer "thank you, we don't care". This happened in 2014 after an anti-abortion Initiative, the "One of Us" Initiative, managed to gather the required signatures (shame!), and both the Commission and the Parliament politely declined to follow suit.

But the very same institutions can decide upon examination that, indeed, the question of the Initiative warrants modifying the law. For instance, the proposals from an Initiative against animal suffering, which succeeded in 2018, are currently being integrated into European law.

The European Citizens' Initiative is not without its weaknesses, but allows European citizens to bring proposals to their lawmakers, and thus to improve the law.

Anyhow, if you're a citizen of any country in the EU, do sign the Initiative!

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

[Edit: You can sign if you're a citizen of the EU, even if you currently live outside the EU.]

Marco Rubio says timing for a Trump-Putin meeting likely won't be decided until after Trump returns from his overseas trip: "We'll wait to see what happens tomorrow... then those decisions will be made."


Trump’s Greenland fixation—and his love of the glories of the nineteenth century—has something important to tell us about Trump’s brain, and possibly about the direction of the United States.

A5: It depends on what the source material is like. Usually that means yes, I am striving for symmetry.
HOWEVER
After I made my tassets for Théodred, it was pointed out to me that the originals are NOT symmetrical as I had assumed. The attached photo is the best reference to show this, and it's actually Théoden, but it's the same. The asymmetry is best observed on the curved left and right edges, and how the leather horses do or don't follow the curve. I did not adjust my armor or pattern, nor do I intend to.

I licenziamenti di Microsoft hanno colpito soprattutto i programmatori, poiché l'IA scrive fino al 30% del suo codice.

Per Bloomberg, tra i 2.000 dipendenti licenziati il 40% lavorava nell'ingegneria del software, il che la rende di gran lunga la categoria più numerosa, secondo quanto rilevato da Bloomberg sulla base dei documenti ufficiali. Sono state colpite relativamente poche posizioni di vendita o marketing, ha aggiunto Bloomberg

The conversation would go like this:

Uh, Donald, everybody knows what groceries are. You should stop saying that.

No. I invented it. No one knew about groceries before me. No one was talking about it. Now everyone is talking about it because of me. No one has seen anything like it. I won because of groceries. They were up, but now they're down. Even eggs. Eggs are part of groceries you know. I invented eggs too. Before there were eggs there were only chickens.

But why do we call the store where we buy food a grocery store?

Really? They changed the name of the store because grocery was trending? See, I told you. Groceries are really popular. I made them popular. Before me no one talked about them. I'm going to put tariffs on them. Big tariffs, you'll see. Biggest tariffs ever. We'll be rich!

But won't that make groceries more expensive?

You should be ashamed, saying that. Who do you work for again?

I work for you Donald! White House staff!

Don't talk about groceries anymore. You don't get it. Everyone around here is dumb. Nobody gets it.

Yes, sir.
