Today in Labor History June 9, 1843: Bertha von Suttner was born (d. 1914). She was an Austrian journalist, author, peace activist and Nobel Prize laureate. She was also a friend of Alfred Nobel, who famously told her that there would not be world peace until a weapon was invented that was so deadly it could annihilate countries in seconds. Some say that it was her activism and advocacy that inspired him to include a peace prize as part of his endowment. Von Suttner wrote “Lay Down Your Arms,” an anti-war novel that made her a leading figure in the Austrian peace movement. However, it was also considered a feminist novel for its characters resistance to accepting traditional gender roles. Tolstoy compared her favorably with Harriet Beecher Stowe.

psylacanise = le signifiant vole bas car il agit sur le réel = changer un signifiant pour modifier son action sur le réel -> aucun sens scientifique mais beaucoup d'adeptes selon ses heuristiques/biais cognitifs.

"We, the #Nobel Laureates who have signed this appeal, call on these governments to release these funds from the Russian Central Bank to finance the reconstruction of #Ukraine and compensation of #war victims so that the country can be rapidly rebuilt after a #peace agreement is reached. This might require new regulations and laws, which, given the undeniable #emergency and gross violations of #InternationalLaw, are appropriate and must be amended."

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐
Some people have a legendary life full of adventure and accolades. One of these is Fridtjof Nansen, #Norwegian explorer, #scientist, and plankton pioneer. He intentionally froze the specially designed ship #Fram into the ice for 3 years to study #Arctic #oceanography (a whole story on that!), invented water samplers and a closing plankton net named for him, became a diplomat, and was awarded the #Nobel Peace Prize for refugee works post WWI.
