when analysts of US-China relations talk about "Europe", the mythical other.
out of 44 countries in Europe I can think of one or two that are "tidy and orderly and really clean"
and Japan & Europe as lacking dynamism?
two paragraphs in and I'm done

The simplest way to appreciate the similarities between Chinese and Americans is to compare China and the U.S. to Europe and Japan. Europe and Japan are more similar. They’re both perfectionists. They are much more tidy and orderly. Everything is really clean. And yet they are not exemplars of dynamism. They’re focused on improving their processes rather than inventing new processes. And this is why I think the future will still be invented by Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and by Beijing and Shenzhen, which will dictate what most people in the world will think and will buy.

Um repórter tropeçou numa base de dados de uma empresa de tecnologias de vigilância com centenas de números de telefone. Eram os alvos monitorados, com informações detalhadas sobre seus movimentos. Dentre os números, eles encontraram jornalistas, políticos, ativistas e celebridades:

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

Inside the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

Every shoebox of photos and stack of letters holds a fragment of history. Wikimedistas de Bolivia digitizes family-held archives to preserve cultural memory, especially works by artists, musicians, and writers. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

A young man looks at the camera next to a humorous sketch of a figure. Text says: How families are helping Wikimedistas de Bolivia save history. These Bolivian family photos and letters aren't just personal treasures. They are also pieces of history. When digitized and shared, they help build a richer record of our world.

A imagem mostra um homem (Hideo Kojima) posando em frente a um mural que tem asas de anjo pintadas, de modo que as asas parecem estar saindo das suas costas.
O fundo do mural mostra pontos turísticos do Rio de Janeiro, como o Pão de Açúcar, além da inscrição “Carioca da Gema” e um helicóptero voando.

Acorda amor, os Cadernos do Cárcere do George Santos acabaram de sair

onion person @junlper.beer · 2d

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.
