As Ramadan is near, I first and foremost seek anyone's forgiveness that I may have offended in person or online at any point. I pray Allah unites us all in that which is pleasing to Him.
To my brothers and sisters who share the noble vocation of Dawah with whom there may have been some disagreements, I'm sorry and pray we can work together for good.
To my brothers and sisters who I have caused injury to with a sermon or a word that may have been unintentional, I'm sorry and pray you will excuse me as I try to speak what is good.
To my brothers and sisters who have reached out to me via any personal communication and I was unable to respond, I'm sorry and I will try to do better inshaAllah.
To my brothers and sisters who may have approached me after an event and I was rushed and maybe seemed dismissive or tired, I'm sorry and pray we have long years in Jannah to catch up. Ameen
This life is too short to hold a grudge, or to let ego or envy take our eyes off the prize: A paradise bestowed upon us by our Lord in the company of the righteous. I pray we all make it there together. Ameen
Ramadan Mubarak to you all. May Allah accept your deeds in this month and beyond. Ameen
These men were the Senegalese Tirailleurs—African soldiers recruited from across France's West African colonies, including present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
When Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, they fought and died defending a country that was not their own.
Thousands served on the front lines, facing the same artillery, machine guns, and tanks as their white comrades.
Many were captured by the Nazis and endured years of imprisonment under brutal conditions.
But for many survivors, the greatest betrayal came not from Germany, but from the very nation they had fought to defend — France !
After the war, African veterans returned expecting the pay, pensions, and respect promised to them for their service.
Instead, they encountered discrimination, delayed wages, and unequal treatment.
On 1 December 1944, a group of demobilized Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp near Dakar protested over unpaid salaries and benefits.
French colonial forces opened fire on them, killing 500+ veterans. Historians are convinced that the true death toll was likely much higher than this.
They fought for France against fascism, survived Nazi captivity, and came home only to be met with bullets from the French colonial state.
It did not end there. In 1945, 34 of the Senegalese veterans, who were thought to be the instigators of the protest, were tried and given sentences of upto ten years.
They were later pardoned as French President Vincent Auriol visited Senegal in March 1947, but they were not exonerated, and their widows were never awarded the veteran pensions usually granted to widows of fallen soldiers.
The Thiaroye massacre is not taught in schools in France, and a Senegalese film about the massacre released in 1988, Camp de Thiaroye, was both banned in France and censored in Senegal.
Moi, Karim Bouamrane je suis candidat pour les prochaines élections présidentielles.
Parce que nous avons pris conscience de notre force.
Parce que nous sommes majoritaires à vouloir une France humaine, une France forte.
Une France qui améliore chaque jour, concrètement, la vie des gens.
Une France humaine c’est :
Une France qui protège nos enfants et les femmes des violences patriarcales ,
Une France qui soigne,
Une France qui loge,
Une France qui éduque pour faire émerger une élite populaire,
Une France où le travail paye,
Une France qui traite bien ses aînés, ses retraités,
Une France qui accueille avec dignité et fait respecter ses lois avec fermeté.
Une France forte, c’est :
Une France qui ne transige pas avec les valeurs de la République, l’ordre, l’autorité, le respect, le civisme, l’antisémitisme, l’islamophobie, l’homophobie, le patriotisme et la laïcité,
Une France qui répond aux enjeux environnementaux,
Une France qui gère bien l’argent public.
Je serai le Président d’une France souveraine pour notre industrie, notre défense et notre politique énergétique.
Rejoignez-nous : https://t.co/aSjm1k7s7N
Au bout d’un moment vous devez grandir et essayer de voir plus loin que « les jaloux vont maigrir ».
Tout le monde aime ce qu’il fait, tout le monde veut qu’il perce et c’est pour ça que tout le monde parle. Personne ne veut le voir se perdre et devenir une marionnette parce qu’on sait qu’il a de l’or entre les mains.
La différence entre toi et nous c’est que tu veux le voir briller quitte à ce qu’il se compromette. Les soutiens comme le tien sont très dangereux, parce que c’est vous qui poussez ceux qui nous représentent à la faute.
On ne veut pas l’éteindre mais on lui demande juste de faire attention. Arrêtez d’être susceptibles et stupides et réfléchissez comme des adultes responsables.
À un an des présidentielles c’est un mouv de merde point.
À un moment donné, on a une énorme election qui arrive, qui va peser sur la vie concrète de milliers de gens qui nous resemblent.
Il faut laisser sur le côté de la route les poids morts qui se servent de nous pour arriver au top et une fois là bas, donnent du gaz aux gens qui nous oppressent au quotidien. Lachons prise.
Parce que c’est justement une manière très adroite de dissuader certains de dénoncer le racisme et ça marche parce qu’il y a énormément de noirs qui tombent là dedans
TikTok m’a ramenée sur les témoignages des femmes noires à Marseille et franchement chaque témoignage que j’entends me brise le cœur.
La France a été d’une violence extrême envers elles. Mais la négrophobie venant d’autres communautés racisées ne cessera jamais de me choquer.
Tout le monde doit des excuses aux femmes noires.
A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts.
So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world.
What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.
Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations.
The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.
Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described.
The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding.
The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months.
Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight.
Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now.
She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.
Quand il faut rire du Mali vous avez beaucoup d'énergies à revendre sur les réseaux.
Mais quand il s'agit de dénoncer les attaques terroristes et les problèmes au sein du pays vous êtes bien silencieux.
Encore une fois, mieux vaut en rire qu'en pleurer avec le Mali.
100+ Black people, including me, stood 7pm-6am at the Ukraine/Hungary border. We were blocked while fair skin passed. A soldier cocked his gun at me, threatening to shoot if I didn’t let a Moroccan girl pass because she was closer to white. I still have panic attacks from this.
Je félicite les pays comme le Maroc, Oman qui ont toujours su avoir une indépendance sur les affaires religieuses et ne pas tomber dans le suivisme bête.
Ils évitent des situations étranges comme ce soir où on annonce le début du jeûne dans des pays où la lune est invisible.
Quelle irresponsabilité de la part de certaines instances musulmanes d’annoncer 2 dates différentes pour le début de ramadan. Que sont censés faire les gens ? plouf-plouf ?
Pour ma part, je commencerai jeudi in sha Allah mais j’aurais voulu que ce soit clair & simple pour tous.
I’ve read some really horrific things from the Epstein files over the past 12 hours and I don’t think it’s anything people should be joking about. It is the most depraved, inhumane shit and it’s terrifying how desensitised people are becoming reading it. We should all be furious.
George Bush père aurait violé un enfant et l’aurait ensuite utilisé dans certains rituels après avoir coupé ses membres avec une épée, d’après les dossiers Epstein.
Les États-Unis, l’empire du mal.
They did not censor Gaza.
They did something worse.
They let you see it.
All of it.
Then trained you to scroll.
To compartmentalize.
To call it tragedy instead of policy.
So that the next time it happens, you are not shocked.
You are updated.
there is NO behaviour from anybody that could ever make me say i’m ashamed of being african or that “europeans are right”. none. europe will never be my center. end of.
