“Individually we are nothing, united we are everything!”

On the occasion of the merger of IG Metall and the Wood and Plastics Union.

Once the distinctions had been made, and the first punishments applied, the venereal were accepted into the hospital. And they were crammed inside. In 1781, 138 men occupied 60 beds in the Saint-Eustache quarter of Bicêtre, and in the Miséricorde in the Salpêtrière there were 125 beds for 224 women. Patients in the terminal stages of the disease were simply left to die. 'Grand Remedies' were applied to the others: never more, and rarely less than six weeks of care, starting of course with blood-letting and purging, then a week of baths for two hours per day, then purging again, followed by a full and complete confession to bring this first part of the treatment to a close. Rubbing with mercury could then begin, with all its efficacy. Each course of treatment lasted one month, and was followed by two more purges and one final bleeding to chase out the remaining morbific humours. Fifteen days of convalescence were then granted. After he had definitively made his peace with God, the patient was declared cured and sent away.
This 'therapeutic' demonstrates a rich tapestry of fantasy, and above all a profound complicity between medicine and morality, which give their full meaning to these purification practices. For the classical age, venereal disease was less a sickness than an impurity to which physical symptoms are correlated. Accordingly, medical perception is ruled by ethical perception, and on occasion even effaced by it. The body must be treated to remove the contagion, but the flesh must be punished, for it is the flesh that attaches us to sin. Mere corporal punishment was not enough: the flesh was to be pummelled and bruised, and leaving painful traces was not to be feared, as good health, all too frequently, transformed the human body into another opportunity for sinful conduct. The sickness was to be treated, but the good health that could lead to temptation was to be destroyed.

Fundamental techniques in the study of parabolic subgroups of Artin groups
This survey was written on the occasion of the course I gave at the Winterbraids XIV workshop in Bordeaux (2025). Its main purpose is to present the techniques that have proven most effective in the study of parabolic subgroups of Artin groups, with particular emphasis on the parabolic subgroups intersection problem. The survey highlights the core ideas and strategies behind them, aiming to give the reader a concise and accessible entry point to the essential methods.

Painful lesson of the day: the desoldering gun does not care about your feelings or your hands when clearing a clog and not being careful. However, got the CPU, PPU, WRAM, and VRAM unsoldered (including sockets) from the NES mainboard. I'll solder the VRAM and WRAM back in later. Desoldering guns make things so much easier even if I'm an idiot on occasion.

Out Run GB: a valiant effort
I previously wrote about Hero GP, a fun little Game Boy Colour game I bought which is pretty difficult given its speed. I have played it on occasion since, since it's ideal for a very short play session (which can turn into a much longer one with just one more go). The maker of that game has wondered "what if OutRun came to the Game Boy Color?", and despite his misspellings of both "Out Run" and "Colour", it's a valid q…

'This was a momentous occasion staged for 4 distinct audiences: foreign powers, US military, US civilian authorities, and the American people.
All these audiences needed to see in real time POTUS letting those luminaries know that he considers them to be expendable and see them being given their new mission statement: to fulfill POTUS’s desires to use the military against civilians who stand up for democratic freedoms.'

So, I understand His Royal Lard-ass will be out in his chariot this evening, posturing for the state run news channel cameras. I wonder how many crisis actors he's hired for the occasion?

I'm asking for help conceptualising & understanding and (on this rare occasion) I'll accept long/slightly mansplain-y answers:
As I currently understand it, #BlueSky is structured a bit like the FediVerse, but uses the #ATprotocol not ActivityPub.
Most people are on bsky.social, but you don't have to be. How are the non-bsky.social 'instances' run? Where are the Ts&Cs for federating? Is it possible to sidestep BlueSky Moderation policies by joining a different 'instance'? Is that partly what #BlackSky is?
