Natural disasters aren’t natural. A storm doesn’t decide who has insurance, savings or somewhere safe to go. People built the systems that leave others exposed. People can change them.

0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.

BREAKING: America's 706 biggest corporations paid a 10.4% tax rate on $1.88 TRILLION in profits last year.
That's the lowest rate researchers have found in more than 40 years of tracking.
It's also less than half the 21% rate they're supposed to pay.
This is insane.

Some of the sharpest analyses of Israeli politics come from Daniel Levy.
This should be subtitled in every language. Short, clear, impeccable.
Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (@USMEP):
Netanyahu did not alone commit genocide for 3 years. He did not alone maintain decades of illegal occupation. It was system-wide.
Eisenkot was part of it & served in the military. He sat in the emergency unity security cabinet after Oct. 7 - during the genocide.
Israeli generals, soldiers & judges - all part of a system-wide mobilization. Dissenting voices existed but remained marginal.

Reading Cory Doctorow's Enshittification
"When ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest ... Microsoft turned off the court's Outlook service. Without warning the justices lost their email, their documents, their calendars, their address books... "
Microsoft claims this was a coincidence. Doctorow does not believe them

Field data and analysis of crossing activity confirm that Israel continues to limit the amount and range of goods entering #Gaza, with total supplies meeting, at best, only around 37% of the Strip’s actual needs

RULFO: Maestro, soy yo, Rulfo. Qué bueno que ya llegó. Usted sabe cómo lo estimamos y lo admiramos.
BORGES: Finalmente, Rulfo. Ya no puedo ver a un país, pero lo puedo escuchar. Y escucho tanta amabilidad. Ya había olvidado la verdadera dimensión de esta gran costumbre. Pero no me llame Borges y menos «maestro», dígame Jorge Luis.
RULFO: Qué amable. Usted dígame entonces Juan.
BORGES: Le voy a ser sincero. Me gusta más Juan que Jorge Luis, con sus cuatro letras tan breves y tan definitivas. La brevedad ha sido siempre una de mis predilecciones.
RULFO: No, eso sí que no. Juan, cualquiera, pero Jorge Luis, sólo Borges.
BORGES: Usted tan atento como siempre. Dígame, ¿cómo ha estado últimamente?
RULFO: ¿Yo? Pues muriéndome, muriéndome por ahí.
BORGES: Entonces no le ha ido tan mal.
RULFO: ¿Cómo así?
BORGES: Imagínese, don Juan, lo desdichado que seríamos si fuéramos inmortales.
RULFO: Sí, verdad. Después anda uno por ahí muerto haciendo como si estuviera uno vivo.
BORGES: Le voy a confesar un secreto. Mi abuelo, el general, decía que no se llamaba Borges, que su nombre verdadero era otro, secreto. Sospecho que se llamaba Pedro Páramo. Yo entonces soy una reedición de lo que usted escribió sobre los de Comala.
RULFO: Así ya me puedo morir en serio.

Según David Graeber, los dirigentes derechistas han aprendido a parecer idiotas con la esperanza de ganarse la simpatía de los sectores populares. Hoy escribo para @publico_es. publico.es/opinion/columnas/…

When China produces superior cars at a lower price, and people around the world want to buy them, economists who worked for the US government claim it is an "assault" on the market.
But when US allies Germany and Japan dominated the market, they thought it was good and natural.

This paper gives a fancy name to a problem you can already feel in your bones
"The Tragedy of the Cognitive Commons." Checking AI output requires deep expertise. Deep expertise comes from doing grunt work for years. And grunt work is the first thing AI eats
So we're building systems that need expert supervision while dismantling the only known process for making experts
The paper calls the shared pool of human expertise the "cognitive commons." Every profession drinks from it. Nobody's refilling it.
By eliminating junior roles, each company is acting totally rationally, and the collective result: a profession that can't catch AI's mistakes anymore because it never learned to do the work in the first place
Who checks AI's homework in 15 years?

The director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health has called for urgent action to “save” the life of detained Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia before it is “too late”.
The paediatrician has been held by Israel since 2024.

Of course the biased Western media tries to make this sound bad, but it's actually awesome:
The Communist Party of China runs mass service centers that are open to the public and offer free internet, cheap food, work desks, training and classes, plus sometimes child care & gyms.
China’s unemployed are flocking to Communist Party service centres theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…

Somos animales narrativos: vivimos en las historias que nos contamos. Por eso hay tanto empeño en que deleguemos en las tecnologías digitales el uso de la imaginación: si son otros quienes imaginan las historias que habitamos, dejaremos de poder contar nuestra propia historia.

BREAKING 🇵🇸🇲🇾 Malaysia has detained Israel-bound cargo at Tanjung Pelepas port. PM Anwar Ibrahim stated that Malaysia will never serve as "a conduit" for atrocities against Palestinians and would uphold international law, in line with The Hague Group.
Tahniah AKPS atas tindakan pantas menyita sebuah kontena yang disyaki membawa muatan dagangan strategik untuk dieksport ke Israel di Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas.
Tindakan ini membuktikan ketegasan Malaysia untuk memastikan negara kita tidak sekali-kali menjadi laluan kepada dagangan yang boleh menyokong atau menyumbang kepada kekejaman rejim Israel terhadap rakyat Palestin.
Ia juga selaras dengan komitmen Malaysia di bawah Kumpulan The Hague serta larangan yang telah berkuat kuasa sejak Disember 2023 terhadap kapal Israel dan kapal yang membawa muatan ke Israel daripada menggunakan pelabuhan negara.
Malaysia akan terus berpegang teguh kepada prinsip kemanusiaan, keadilan dan undang-undang antarabangsa dalam mempertahankan hak serta maruah rakyat Palestin.
