Não há, no Ocidente, maior ideologia que a de o Progresso requerer, necessariamente, crescimento económico. Ideologia essa tão enganadora quanto destrutiva — do mundo natural, da humanidade, e da relação da última com o primeiro. #degrowth

As televisões fascinadas com um caixote incendiados bem fora do perímetro da concentração do Porto, não se sabe por quem e imediatamente apagado com aplausos dos manifestantes. A violência é telegénica e quem quer esmagar o protesto sabe isso.

Por um movimento social pela habitação! Demonstração de solidariedade. 🏴

[Daniel Oliveira @danielolivalx]

Pedro Duarte é capaz de ter dado inicio ao movimento social da habitação. Está de parabéns.

[Bruno Carvalho @bcarloscarvalho]

A carga policial sobre manifestantes indefesos mostra bem o esgoto moral de um governo que está ao serviço dos fundos imobiliários e da especulação.

Not even Black Mirror could predict this level of dystopia.

37 feridos, 2 em estado grave. pedro Duarte pode não ter cumprido as suas promessas sobre habitação, mas esta cumpriu. Como é sabido, as tendas são um tremendo risco para a segurança nacional.

[Daniel Oliveira @danielolivalx]

A absurda e desproporcionada intervenção policial no Porto, que se percebe ter origem política, tem um objetivo: escalar para, como noutras paragens, criar um clima de violência e criminalização do protesto em vez de resolver os problemas, contribuindo para descentrar o debate.

The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightenment narrative. It is organized around capital. Science is embraced when it serves the interests of capital, and is often ignored when it does not.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

Israel, which sponsored the invasion of Ceuta, is pulling an uno-reverse on Europe’s colonial legacy. Of all countries.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation... Everyone needs to know what is happening in our world right now.

The UN just warned that Trump's war, the U.S. blockade, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the current threat to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait could cause a global humanitarian CATASTROPHE—The clock is ticking.

Countries oil reserves are running out and we are heading towards a global energy catastrophe. Dozens of oil and gas ships still en route, left Strait of Hormuz before its closure and haven't yet reached its destinations. When these ships arrive there's no other ships on the way.

We have reports that the world should expect the closure of other gas and oil routes in the coming days "Bab al-Mandeb Strait." Oil and gas prices are going to skyrocket. If oil prices rise again and stay above $100/barrel global hunger could hit a record 363 million people in 2026 if conflict persists.

We are on the edge of a catastrophic surge in global hunger. Trump started a war that closed the world's most important shipping lane. Nearly half of the world's traded urea are exported through the Strait of Hormuz. If farmers don't get fertilizer in time, they plant with less. Yields drop. Food prices spike.

A prolonged disruption of the Strait of Hormuz could result in a global food catastrophe, with shocks to energy and fertilizer markets translating into higher commodity prices and food inflation. A kilo of rice will cost ~$9, meat ~$50, and all food prices will skyrocket. The risks today are notably greater than in 2022 (Ukraine-Russia war). And if the Black Sea Grain Initiative collapses, the price of a ton of wheat will rise to ~$500, double its actual price, cooking oil shortages, and other collapses occurred in the food system.

This is not just about oil and gas. This is about the internet and the global economy. The Strait of Hormuz is recognized as a vital "digital lifeline" in addition to being a major energy route. For some countries, 60% of their internet services rely on cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz, $10 trillion dollars a day going throught that cable.

While the UN calls for an end to the war and begs for ships to move, Trump is sending warships to stop them. The UN is telling us the window to prevent a catastrophe is closing.

We are living, you and me right now, through a critical phase for all of humanity, and a huge change in the entire world economy. The U.S. "Atomic diplomacy" is back to the sence after nearly a century, and we are now living during Japan 1945.

Diplomacy is the only way forward; otherwise, war could escalate to a terrifying stage for all of humanity. The clock is ticking.

@elonmusk @FoxNews Eberhard and Tarpenning founded Tesla. You didn’t invent eBay or Twitter. Your wealth is from acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and stealing credit. Everything you have was built by workers and you fight to keep from unionizing while you receive govt welfare. You are a parasite.

One of the harshest and most devastating videos captured in modern history…

A young boy tries to comfort his little brother after the loss of their mother, while both cry in overwhelming pain and sorrow.

A heartbreaking moment that will forever remain in the memory of generations.

Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74%

Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8%

Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews

It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!

The main thing AI has taught me is a profound new appreciation for human intelligence (and human writing and art!), particularly that which emerges from longstanding experience, expertise and mastery.
