dumas can write crime and punishment with ease but dostoevsky would need to snort 50 lines of coke to be able to write just the sinbad arc in the count of monte cristo as good as dumas did. don't play with me right now

We should stop pretending page length is an indicator of how difficult it is to get through a book. Monte Cristo is like 900 pages but is basically litslop so you get through it easily. A soap opera telenovella isn't complex just because it has 500 episoded either

TODAY— Photos were smuggled out of Ecuador’s prisons and published by the brave Karol Noroña. Under the current U.S.-backed military dictatorship, inmates are starved and 1 dies every 7 hours— an alarming rate for the 2nd smallest nation in South America. NOBOA IS A MURDERER.

ppl think Europeans endorsed the founding of Israel as reparations for the Holocaust. nope. the Balfour Declaration-the British doc that promised to deliver a zionist state in Palestine was written in 1917. Israel was always a settler outpost. the Holocaust as alibi came later 1/

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ORDER FILED BY STUDENTS, ADVOCATES VS SAN MIGUEL CORP.

Students and environmental advocates attended a hearing before the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 41 on Monday regarding their petition for a temporary environmental protection order against San Miguel Corp. (SMC) over the massive tree cutting along Quirino Avenue in Manila.

“We are prompted to file this action in representation of the youth and those yet unborn because we also want to send a message to these corporations that are actively destroying our environment,” petitioner Joaquin Bautista said.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said there are 523 trees subject to tree-cutting and another 94 trees for earth-balling, totaling 617 trees affected to yield construction for the Southern Access Link Expressway (SALEX).

Bautista said the citizen action suit aims to pursue ecological justice and accountability, stressing that SMC should rehabilitate the trees cut in Manila.

The irreparable damage from this ecological violence will be inherited by succeeding generations, sustainability and environment student Elisha Zantua said.

“It can cause catastrophic effects such as eliminating the structure of preventing soil erosion, lessening the capabilities to absorb the floodwater, and affecting the air quality around the space,” she said.

“What we really need right now is more green spaces. We shouldn’t just prioritize urban development over what the people actually need,” Zantua added.

University student and petitioner Paul Benedict Callorina lamented how decades-old trees, which have stood long before he was born, were brazenly cut for an expressway project.

“Our policies and laws should be pro-people and pro-nature,” Callorina said.

The DENR said last week that SMC has voluntarily suspended further tree-cutting activities along Quirino Avenue following the public outrage. | @andronquillo
