Gli aborigeni australiani vedono il loro territorio come una ragnatela di percorsi.
La parola "paese", "patria" è la stessa che usano per "strada" o "cammino" (…).
Pensano (anche) che la proprietà sia dannosa, salvo quella che si può portare con sè camminando.

Plague is spreading in Russia.
Moscow is preparing emergency measures following an outbreak in the Irkutsk region. Relevant information is currently being relayed to medical facilities in the capital.
The alarm was raised after a 27-year-old female patient died in the Irkutsk region; two tests had confirmed a plague infection in her case. Consequently, nearly 200 contacts have been placed under medical observation—with some already hospitalized—while doctors work to trace further chains of contact.
Events are taking on increasingly biblical proportions.
Why are there still flights to and from Russia?
why aren’t the robots working in the mines and oil fields and handling toxic chemicals or picking plastic out of the ocean? why are they writing emails and making powerpoint presentations? what the hell are we doing
The Cornell rapists are not "young men with bright futures who made a mistake."
They are the next generation of wealthy, privileged men being taught that their money and status mean they won't have to answer for their actions.
Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.
Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?"
Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser.
There's your midterm messaging from the GOP
Telling a Black woman who is a descendant of enslaved people to leave America, @JDVance.
I do not know what to say.
Even I didn't believe you would go this low.
Folks have insulted:
My Southern drawl.
My loc’d hair.
My clothes.
My shoes.
My intelligence.
I’ve been called a ghetto Black
b!t€h.
Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build.
This is a lot y’all. It is.
They say they hate “wokeness,” but what they really hate is empathy. Because once you start caring about other people’s experiences, inequalities become harder to ignore, and privilege becomes harder to defend.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly for Sept. 29th came in at 3.18°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.
This marks yet another record all-time high and the 123rd consecutive record daily high at 1.1°C above the previous daily record set in 1997.
And by the way, Cornell refusing to give the rape victim back her tuition so she could go somewhere else and not be faced with her rapist they refuse to prosecute is another form of assault.
Vivaldi's “Winter,” visualized in a fascinating way, so that the auditory experience is even more intense; one can literally “see” the music, so to speak

NAOMI KLIEIN to SAM ALTMAN:
"...you ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation and without credit to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not 'liberating human creativity' -- you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data'."
