There is nothing new in this conference talk. The author summarizes the results of two papers on specific \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2\)-graded contractions of kinematical Lie algebras [\textit{M. de Montigny, J. Patera} and \textit{J. Tolar}, J. Math. Phys. 35, 405-425 (1994; Zbl 0813.17005) and \textit{J. Tolar} and \textit{P. Travniček}, ibid. 36, 4489-4506 (1995; Zbl 0860.17047)]. Therefore only three comments: A ``complete classification of graded contractions'' requires more than a list of all graded contractions for a few small grading groups. -- It is stated without proof that the non-zero parameters of a graded contraction can be normalized to 1 over \(\mathbb{C}\) and to \(\pm 1\) over \(\mathbb{R}\). This is not true. The statement that ``the contraction of representations has apparently never been considered'' is wrong [cf., e.g., the original paper of \textit{E. Inönü} and \textit{E. P. Wigner} [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 39, 510-524 (1953; Zbl 0050.02601)] and \textit{E. Weimar-Woods}, J. Math. Phys. 32, 2660-2665 (1991; Zbl 0751.17004)].
