This is a great PHOTO ESSAY on “solar hockey stick of hope”, and countries breaking free of oil and gas dependence. IF your country's media isn't telling you about the renewables global boom, then consider why.... www.science.org/content/arti... bsky.app/profile/scie...

Hegseth's monthly Pentagon prayer services during working hours violate the Constitution & military regs. "Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said servicemembers are being 'voluntold' to attend Hegseth's worship sessions." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Donald Trump doesn't even hide that he wants to steal Venezuela's oil. In fact he brags that he wants to steal their land as well. Watch out South America if you let him succeed in Venezuela this orange fascist will be coming to get back your 'stolen' land too.

Boa análise.

Se o pregador não faltar... "...the desire to curb the economic and political power of corporate, financial, and tech elites is widespread, uniting progressive supporters of US Senator Bernie Sanders with populists like the podcast host and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon."

Marcas que além de nos espiarem ainda inutilizam equipamentos remotamente que comprámos?! Sim senhor. A merdificação de tudo está cada vez melhor. E isto acontece porque as pessoas continuam a meter dinheiro nas mãos de quem o faz.

Já temos cartões de "descontos" de todos os supermercados. O próximo passo já foi dado nos USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=osxr...

There is credible causal evidence that the X/Twitter algorithm moves people's views to the right, from an experiment conducted by Katia Zhuravskaya and coauthors. (Paper still not publicly available because of the silly media embargo policy of big scientific journals.)

Last year, Meta had to reckon with an alarming realization about its Chinese advertising customers: They were defrauding Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp users worldwide. The company has tolerated the fraud to safeguard billions in revenue reut.rs/4oXsgC2

Ehehehehe meu rico aspirador estúpido.

Isto é essencial, sobretudo num país onde a história continua a ser ensinada, e celebrada, numa perspetiva eurocêntrica, messiânica, evangelizadora e, claro, profundamente racista.

Brilliant video!

The FBI now has a “domestic terrorism” checklist targeting people for thinking differently: criticizing economic systems or government policies can get you extra scrutiny. Nothing says “land of the free” like policing ideas.

Dissing European stagnation also raises a problem for Trumpist economics: the EU runs a trade surplus, the US a deficit, and Trumpists profess to believe that trade deficits make you poorer. If the US is much richer than Europe (it is!), that would seem to be false (it is!).

To be clear: Europe has a serious problem of economic stagnation and flatlining productivity. It should learn from America, which is growing faster. But the lessons the Trump admin is pushing are mostly the wrong ones

Que estoiro no final 😂😂😂

A ver se a Ana Paula Ceifeira não vê isto... 🙄

Seizing an oil tanker is a perfect symbol of what the US is actually after in its war of aggression against Venezuela.

Mounting debt crisis means global South governments are spending on average 15% of their revenue servicing external debt. This figure has doubled since 2010. More than 3.4 billion people now live in countries that spend more on interest payments than on health or education.

A must read thread 🧵 Um tópico de leitura recomendada

Which does not mean that the EU needs no reform: The key priority should be to invest massively in education, universities, research, public infrastructure, and energy transition The key to its future productivity and prosperity /end

More leisure, better health outcomes, less inequality, less carbon emissions, all of which with broadly similar productivity: The EU can be proud of its development model, and the Trumpists (and European conservatives that echo them) should keep it down a bit

Why? Because neither ILO, OECD, WIL, etc. subtract the depreciation of natural capital The US produces $81 of gross output per hour, but at a particularly high cost for the planet The EU27 produces $71 of gross output per hour, but with dramatically less carbon emissions

A lot of the “eurosclerosis” discourse is based on comparing GDP in nominal US$ in Europe vs US Yesterday, the US ambassador to the EU compared Europe’s GDP per capita to that of Mississippi This makes little sense, because it ignores the higher cost of living in the US

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

Americans live under a dictatorship of capital: wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few, media and politics serve them, and fear of “chaos” keeps the rest paralyzed—too numb to fight for the freedom they’ve already lost.

A nossa reação face ao direito à greve é um barómetro infalível sobre a forma como intimamente respeitamos os direitos constitucionais. Não raramente, uma greve incomoda o meu quotidiano. Faço-me então sempre uma pergunta simples: gostava eu de viver no tempo em que não havia o direito à greve?

Essencialmente a proposta de Dean Baker assemelha-se àquilo q eu próprio propus há tempos como forma de financiamento duma comunicação social livre da influência de elites oligárquicas. Uma parcela do IRS q fosse atribuível a jornalistas ou a empresas jornalísticas poderia criar uma imprensa livre.

An individual tax credit could help shift media power away from Trump-friendly billionaires. @deanbaker13.bsky.social argues that this would give people the means to support serious journalism at the state and local level. https://bit.ly/49apzar

1. We've had a huge response to the launch of the Earth Rover Program, above all from small farmers, especially in Africa. Farmers all over the world are highly attuned to the need for a better understanding of soil, and have immediately seen the potential. 🧵 1/10 www.earthroverprogram.org

Estamos num máquina do tempo. A pirataria está de volta.

Em comparação com a média da OCDE, Portugal tributa pouco a propriedade e muito o consumo (através do IVA, um imposto regressivo). Há margem para redistribuir a carga fiscal, aumentar IMI sobre segundas casas e imóveis vazios e taxar heranças acima de €1 milhão. 19/

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms. It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.
