Gaza ceasefire inches closer; Senate fails to stop Trump’s strikes on alleged drug boats
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37301612
Israel kills 11 Palestinians over the past 24 hours in Gaza. President Donald Trump announces a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Hamas and Israel, while Israeli military continues sporadic attacks in Gaza. The Israeli cabinet will convene today to discuss the deal. A UN study finds 54,600 children under 5 in Gaza may be acutely malnourished. Trump says Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker “should be in jail” for allegedly failing to protect ICE agents. Russia warns that the United States supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles would be a “qualitatively new” escalation that could draw them into direct confrontation. The Senate fails to pass a resolution aimed at stopping Trump’s extrajudicial U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats. Colombian President Gustavo Petro says that a vessel bombed this week by the United States was Colombian and carried Colombian citizens. Eleven Pakistani soldiers killed in a clash near the Afghan border.

Marwan Barghouti secretly removed from prisoner list by Israel, source says
The Israeli prime minister's office unilaterally removed Marwan Barghouti's name from the prisoner exchange list at the last minute, endangering the Gaza ceasefire deal's implementation, a source close to the prominent Palestinian prisoner told Middle East Eye.
Barghouti, who is the most popular Palestinian political figure according to polls, was one of the most valuable names to potentially be traded for the 48 Israeli captives in Gaza.
A source close to Barghouti and his family told MEE that last night mediators including US envoy Steve Witkoff signed off on a prisoner list that included Barghouti.

Let's talk about the economic situation in Canada
let's break down what capital flight, people leaving, government debt, and the gold bonanza mean. The libs are scratching their heads, but from a Marxist perspective, it isn't a mystery. It's just late-stage capitalism playing its greatest hits.
The billionaire class and their lackeys can read the balance sheet of their own system. They see that the profits have been squeezed out of us, the working class is tapped out, and the whole house of cards is wobbling. Hence why we're seeing capital flight. They're pulling their money out because the mobile nature of capital means they can park it in safer markets.
And the gold rush is just the bourgeoisie quietly admitting their entire financial system is built on hot air. They're ditching liquidity for a physical asset that will hold value when the inevitable crash comes. It's a massive vote of no confidence in the very system they built. We're seeing a classic sign of over-accumulation with nowhere profitable left to invest.
Now, about the whole people fleeing abroad thing. The people who are leaving are those with the means to do so, namely, the workers who are still relatively well off. When even the so-called professional-managerial class, such as engineers and other tech workers, are getting priced out of a future and leaving, you know the system is failing. It's obviously problematic since it's a loss of talent, but at a deeper level, it's a crisis of social reproduction for the most privileged group of workers. If the labour aristocracy can't make it, what does that say about the rest of us in the proletariat? The canary in the coal mine has just packed its bags and fled the country.
And then we have the government's role in all this. Our state is the management committee for the bourgeoisie, and it's doing its job perfectly. All that government borrowing and quantitative easing was just socializing the losses of the capitalists during the pandemic, creating a massive bailout for them. Now comes the bill, and they're handing it to us in the form of austerity. Here's what PSAC says about Carney's announcement of sweeping public service cuts.
They're cutting public services to shred the social wage and force us deeper into reliance on the capitalist market, while funneling money into the military. The military needs to be kept happy in case of any social unrest that their austerity will cause, and to tie Canada tighter to US imperialism as the domestic economy rots. The money is going to cops, jets, and bombs instead of our healthcare or education.
We're most likely headed for another 2008 style crash, and these crashes are themselves a feature of the system. They're how capitalism resets itself by devaluing our labour, destroying excess capacity, and letting the big capitalists gobble up everything for pennies on the dollar. It's the centralization of capital in its most brutal form.
And in the political vacuum that we have here, without a strong, organized socialist left to offer a real alternative, people get funnelled into the waiting arms of right-wing populism. They'll blame immigrants, wokeism, or whatever scapegoat the ruling class offers to direct our anger away from them. We're seeing it all over Europe, and it's coming here hard.
The future for Canada is grim with the class war that's heating up like never before. The capitalists are preparing for it with their gold, their capital flight, and their militarized state. The question is, are we? We need to build our own power, our own organizations, and our own vision for a world beyond this parasitic system.

An honest interlocutor would consider the possibility that either could be the alternate reality.
Hilarious of you to say this when the entire western world is imploding on itself.
Which time? A lot of stuff has happened; WWII is still closer to present than to Das Kapital.
I love how you got caught lying, but just keep on digging. Meanwhile, it's adorable how you think the age of Das Kapital has anything to do with the analysis there. Again, maybe if you spent the time to actually read it instead of making clown of yourself in public, then you'd see why it's an important theoretical work on the mechanics of capitalism.
Anyways, I'm going to stop here. You can have the last word which you so desperately need.

The question is, are we?
unequivocally no.
it's pretty clear that the culture wars; media propaganda; and political capture are doing an excellent job at ensuring that people in canada; along w the rest of the western world; will not push for an alternative in sufficient numbers until our material situations become bad enough and the racism, homophobia & xenophobia contained in the main stream media guarantees that the "undesirable" classes of people will endure the brunt of the worsening conditions to maximize the misery for as long as humanly possible.

I do think software piracy also was a large success factor. When I was 13 there was one major spot in my city where consoles and computers were sold (within a department store!), and people where "swapping" games even before they bought the hardware. I remember at least one of the store clerks having a small side business providing access to disks and tapes you could copy - right on the machines that were shown in store.
And I learned how to copy the C64's basic rom to ram and mod small things even before I had the machine myself.
All the kids were gathering round the computers, the consoles were less attractive.
When I got my own C64 in 1983, my first game was Fort Apocalypse. It was not an original. You needed a boom box with dual tape decks to copy these.

External trackpad for Linux?
**edit: I said wireless when I was actually just thinking external my b
I use Gnome as my main DE and I really like the touch gestures for my workflow, having a wireless trackpad would be really nice.
I've done some research before and seen that most wireless trackpads seem to work just fine with Linux, like the apple magic trackpad and an older out of production one from Logitech. But it doesn't seem that wireless trackpads are super common so I wanted to ask if there were any others anyone could suggest?
I also had the thought that maybe I could make my own by buying a spare trackpad module from Framework but I don't know how feasible that would actually be. I've never done anything like that but it seems like it could hypothetically be possible.

if you're into hacky workarounds like i am; you can use an android as a trackpad.
my home server was also multimedia center as well as one point running kodi & plex and i setup x11vnc on it and an old android phone to act as trackpad so that i can channel surf with the phone that was already in my hand.

To quote a quote in the article - ”Ubuntu 25.10 is a statement of intent for the next Ubuntu LTS in 2026.”
If it doesn’t work out at all, they will likely pull the change for 26.04. The LTS has after all a need to be stable as a lot of companies rely on it.
What did they revert? I had not heard that.
UUtils is just the “core” utils for now but that was always the plan. What got reverted?
I thought all the reported bugs were fixed (mostly before the articles were even written).
None of this means there are not more bugs or feature gaps of course. I am sure there are. This is the first test of UUtils at scale.
As it stands today, sudo-rs is the default sudo implementation on Ubuntu 25.10, and uutils’ coreutils has mostly replaced the GNU implementation, with a few exceptions, many of which will be resolved by releases in the coming weeks. These diversions back to the existing implementations demonstrate that stability and resilience are more important than “hype” in our approach: I expect us to have completed the migration during the next cycle, but not before the tools are ready.

Ubuntu 25.10: A Retrospective
In February this year, I published Engineering Ubuntu For The Next 20 Years, which was something of a manifesto I pledged to enact in the design, build and release of Ubuntu. This week, we released Ubuntu 25.Ubuntu Community Hub
Thanks! I had to stare at your link for a bit to spot the exceptions. There are not many exceptions but they are important ones.
Good to see Ubuntu being pragmatic about it. I imagine they hope to ship the remaining Uutils versions before 26.04.
UUtils has, until now, been a niche project with few users. Putting it in the most popular desktop distro is going to expose it to many new users and use cases. Some of those are bound to find differences in behaviour between UUtils and GNU which should be considered bugs. No doubt.
But this “not-very-well tested” mantra is just silly. UUtils itself uses the exact same test suite as GNU does. They have been testing against this suite for years:
github.com/uutils/coreutils-tr…
While not all tests pass yet, the subset of functionality that people are likely to actually use is very well tested.
And the reason some bugs were found recently is precisely because UUtils were put through the normal test cycle for Ubuntu. A small number of bugs were caught which is the goal of that process. These are things that were previously not in the test suite. I see there are some new tests. UUtils may have contributed to that as new use cases were encountered that showed differences in behaviour between GNU and UUtils. The issues discovered were quickly fixed.
Think of what is involved in creating a distribution like Ubuntu and building the tens of thousands of packages that they ship in their repos—all with build scripts written for GNU Coreutils. This is all working with UUtils unmodified.
With the distro live now, the number of users will have already exploded. Where are the bug reports and articles about all the problems encountered? Crickets.
That does not mean there will not be any such cases. That is not my point at all. My point is that “not very well tested” does not jive with how well things are going considering what a massive change this is.
UUtils is much better tested than much of the software I use.

Contribute to uutils/coreutils-tracking development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Thanks for the context. I did read the articles on this, but you've summed up the positives well.
Unfortunately, these articles also point out that putting uutils into the wild of 25.10 will doubtless reveal some hitherto unknown breakages and rough patches.
Which I agree with. No one is forcing anyone to use 25.10, but there is no better way to smoke test sw than pushing it to prod.
I'm a Debian user, so I have the luxury of waiting to see the outcome of these efforts for now.

Zohran Mamdani calls Cuba and Venezuela dictatorships
Mamdani Breaks Silence About Maduro and Cuban President Díaz-Canel: How Jorge Ramos and Daughter Paola Got Him to Open Up — EXCLUSIVE
When New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani finally decided to speak publicly about Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel, he didn't do it in a press conference or a...Alicia Civita (Latin Times)
Politicians like Mamdani are the left wing of capital. Full stop. They’ll give you a whole speech about the failures of capitalism, but their solution is always, always just to put a band-aid on a bullet wound and hope you don’t notice the system is still bleeding you dry. It’s a tale as old as time where they co-opt the energy of the masses, promise change from within, and ultimately do nothing but delay the inevitable crisis.
And Mamdani is just the modern day version of Eduard Bernstein. It’s honestly staggering how this playbook hasn’t changed in over a century. Bernstein was a big deal in the SPD, and he’s the guy who looked at Marx’s revolutionary ideas and said, nah, we can just vote our way into socialism. He threw class conflict out the window and argued we could slowly reform capitalism into something nicer. He successfully turned the SPD from a revolutionary party into a mild appendage of liberalism, trading worker power for wage increases and welfare programs that left the capitalist class firmly in charge. Rosa Luxemburg called this out in Reform or Revolution where she said that his strategy sucks the revolutionary soul right out of the working class.
Sound familiar?
Mamdani is doing the exact same thing. He gives great speeches about the 1% and corporate greed, but his entire project is about social democratic reforms within a capitalist framework. These are good things! But they’re treating the symptoms, not the disease.
The real damage is in channelling what could be a millions-strong grassroots movement directly into the graveyard of the Democratic Party. All that energy, all that hope, are funnelled into meaningless action like phone banking and canvassing for a party that is structurally, irrevocably dedicated to preserving capitalism. Instead of building real, independent power through unions, strikes, and community networks, people got a cult of personality around one candidate.
Reforms under capitalism are always conditional and designed to demobilize the masses. Imagine if all that energy had been directed toward unionizing every Amazon warehouse, organizing mass rent strikes, and building community mutual aid networks that create real dual power. Look at movements like MAS in Bolivia to see what’s possible.
And here’s the kicker, the part that should terrify everyone is that the reformist path actively paves the way for fascism. The SPD’s commitment to playing by the bourgeois rules made them utterly unprepared to confront the Nazis. They prioritized legalistic, parliamentary games over mass mobilization and direct action. They disarmed the working class ideologically and organizationally. And when the Nazis started gaining power, the SPD famously refused to support a general strike or armed resistance, clinging to their faith in a system that was already collapsing. They even allied with the Nazis against the communists in the end.
Now look at the “progressive” squad in the Democratic Party. Same playbook. They use leftist rhetoric to absorb grassroots energy, then funnel it back into a party funded by capital. Their watered-down, incrementalist policies fuel mass disillusionment, which the far-right is all too happy to exploit.
The Democrats’ “pragmatic incrementalism” is just managing the decline. It sustains a system that creates the very misery and despair that a Trump capitalizes on. They are the firewall against real change, and their reforms are designed to prevent any sort of structural change. We’re watching the same historical cycle play out in real time.
TLDR: Reformism is a dead end that disarms the working class and ultimately strengthens the far-right. Mamdani is the modern Bernstein, and the Democratic Party is the new SPD.

Good Privacy Practices (Intermediate)
These are some practices which worked for me, You can adjust them to match your preferences. Feel free to add your own in the comments
1. If you are forced to use something that is privacy invasive, Make it isolated from your actual profile. (Ex- Using a 2nd Browser profile, Using an alias to signup)
2. Always use the services that you use from their official clients. Don't blindly trust 3rd party clients just because they claim that they are "more private", Do some research before using it.
3. Don't mix up your work life with your personal life. Consider getting a second phone just for work purposes or you could use a second profile for work purposes if your phone has the ability to create multiple user profiles.
4. Keep a habit of clearing the browser data once in a while. (You can make your browser automatically clear the browser data when closing but it can be kinda annoying when you have to log back into websites everytime)
5. Strip away the metadata of your photos and documents when sharing them.
6. Check connected apps/services regularly and revoke unused ones. (on Discord, GitHub, Matrix and etc.)
7. Audit app permissions regularly (Some apps adds in new permissions or re-enables permissions over updates)
The old #3 tip got removed (The password one) because it served no additional protection and was pretty annoying. It was a mistake by me, sorry
like this
- Silo ALL online accounts. All online accounts should have a separate name, avatar, email alias, etc, and be opened in assigned Firefox containers. Burner email aliases will be your friend here. Do not link these accounts, or if you must, link one or two but have them dead end there. The last thing you want is someone hopscotching all the way to your front door.
In reference to #5, daily use of BleachBit at the end of each computer session. Tick the 'Free Disk Space' box under the System options. Takes about an hour and a half for my system, so I run BleachBit in the evening. It won't free up disk space, nor will it make your computer run faster, but it's certainly good for security aspects. PrivaZer is also a good piece of software but it's windows based.
#3 is a pretty good tip although Bitwarden's track record of breaches that resulted in password leaks, is fairly substantial.
#6 makes me giggle because I do that for rare pictures I post online. Sometimes, I'll inject something like 'The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back' in one of the exif slots, just to see if someone is paying attention. BTW, the phrase is from an ELO instrumental that was laced with a backwards message. IIRC, the same song was used by NBC for an intro to one of their sports broadcasts back in the 70s.
opened in assigned Firefox containers
Is there any kind of automate way to do that? Because if you have always to think what account goes in what container :/ This is a lot of brain overheat !

Official PFLP Statement on the Ceasefire Agreement
DeepSeek translation:
The Ceasefire Agreement is a First Step Towards Ending the Genocide; Our People's Steadfastness and Valiant Resistance Have Broken the Zionist War Machine and Imposed the Agreement
Reaching a ceasefire agreement and beginning the implementation of its first phase is an important achievement and a first step on a long road to ending our people's suffering. The time has come for the genocide to stop. This is the fruit of the legendary steadfastness presented by Gaza and our Palestinian people, and the immense sacrifices of the martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and missing, who embodied the most magnificent images of sacrifice and resolve.
We extend a greeting of pride and honor to the sons of our people in the homeland and the diaspora, and to our martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and missing, who embodied the most magnificent images of sacrifice and steadfastness. Our people have endured what no other people have, and despite the destruction, massacres, and starvation, the occupation failed to achieve its goals and reaped nothing but failure, disgrace, and isolation.
The Front has continued its efforts without interruption, from the start of the aggression until the moment of signing the agreement, in coordination with all Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic forces, to reach this moment where the Zionist war machine stops. The Front will remain by our people's side in this difficult and pivotal stage of its history, continuing its role in supporting their steadfastness and struggle until their national goals are achieved.
We highly appreciate the efforts of our brothers in Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and all other Arab and Islamic nations, and the positions and movements of free countries and peoples around the world who rejected the continuation of the massacres and sought to stop them; their efforts contributed to reaching this agreement. We particularly value Egypt's firm position rejecting displacement and supporting the steadfastness of our people on their land.
The current agreement has broken the Zionist "no's" and objectives. It is the possible option under the current circumstances, and its success is linked to the occupation's commitment and clear American guarantees to prevent stalling. Our goal now is to continue working to completely end the war of genocide, achieve a comprehensive withdrawal from the Strip, break the siege, and end the suffering of our people.
We are working with all factions under Egyptian auspices for a comprehensive national dialogue that opens a new horizon for building a unified strategy based on our people's historical constants and rights to confront the next stage, and to rebuild our national institutions on the basis of partnership to face all challenges.
We reject foreign guardianship and affirm that the administration of Gaza must be purely Palestinian, with Arab and international participation in reconstruction and recovery.
The world today stands with us and supports our right to freedom and self-determination. The global movement must continue and the occupation and its leaders must be pursued even after reaching a ceasefire agreement, so that Palestine remains alive in the world's conscience until the occupation is eradicated.

How a Scottish maritime museum ended up in Israel’s 3D propaganda videos
On Oct. 27, 2023, the Israeli army released an animated video claiming to reveal what lay beneath Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical complex. It showed underground tunnels, bunkers, and a Hamas command room — all depicted through slick 3D graphics.“That information is ironclad,” insisted Mark Regev, then-senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during an interview the same day on CNN. “It’s based on Israeli intelligence.”
[...]
But no such base was ever discovered. Moreover, the command room featured in the video was not unique; it had already appeared more than a year earlier in another animation published by the Israeli army, illustrating what it said was a tunnel beneath a UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school in Gaza. The surrounding streets in the “Al-Shifa” video, meanwhile, were populated with storefronts from a commercial 3D asset pack — replete with fictional establishments like “Fabio’s Pizzeria,” “Andre’s Bakery,” and “Revolution Bike Shop.”
The “Al-Shifa” animation would become one of the most notorious examples of Israel’s new wartime communication strategy. It also marked the beginning of an accelerated phase of production within the IDF’s Spokesperson’s Unit: having published only a handful of 3D visualizations before October 7, the unit has since released dozens of similar videos depicting supposed terror sites in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
[...]
A months-long investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call together with the research collective Viewfinder, the Swiss network SRF, and the Scottish outlet The Ferret analyzed 43 animations produced by the Israeli army since October 7 and found that many contain serious spatial inaccuracies or prefabricated assets — sourced not from classified intelligence but rather from commercial libraries, content creators, and cultural institutions.
Interviews with soldiers involved in the production of these videos further illuminate how the army prioritizes the aesthetic value of the animations over their accuracy, while animators routinely embellish in order to emphasize a supposed threat.
The outcome is a communications campaign that mimics the graphics of forensic reconstructions in pursuit of legitimizing military strikes on civilian infrastructure. And as most of the sites depicted in the army’s animations remain inaccessible to journalists and researchers, and many have been blown up or demolished, Israel’s illustrated allegations effectively defy verification.
[...]
In some cases, the “illustration” goes one step further, with fabricated environments replacing real places. In September 2024, the army published an animation depicting houses in southern Lebanon that it claimed were concealing missiles. Our investigation identified the area that the video zooms in on from a satellite image to be the outskirts of the village of Yater.
Yet a visit to the village last week found that no such buildings or streets exist in this area — and not because they were destroyed by the Israeli army, which bombed only a handful of sites in Yater. Indeed, the houses in the video are entirely fabricated, featuring antennas sourced from at least three unique models in Hubert’s “Antenna Kit” asset pack, which was published to his Patreon in March 2021.
The army published a similar 3D model at the start of its attack on Iran in June, depicting a uranium enrichment site in Natanz. As international media outlets rushed to cover the event, dozens republished the animation in part or in full, including the BBC, CNN, and Sky News. The interior of the facility depicted in the animation includes at least six of Hubert’s 3D assets, collectively replicated over 150 times.
[...]
Experts have compared the aesthetics of the army’s burgeoning animation campaign with the fields of visual and open-source investigations, which are becoming increasingly popular for covering areas where traditional reporting can be difficult.
“I think the visual lexicon of open-source investigation is something that the Israelis have co-opted as a way to try to delegitimize [those investigations] and confuse,” said Elizabeth Breiner, head of programmes at the Forensic Architecture research center at Goldsmiths University of London. “These visuals are open about their status as something in between the real and the imaginary, but the real harm is that they stick with people well beyond the point after which something may have been functionally disproven.”

Zionists are shameless liars. Every one of their October 7th lies about beheaded babies and mass rapes has been debunked. There is plenty of evidence that hundreds of israelis killed that day were killed by their own tanks and Apaches. Yet they and their Zionist vassals still wheel out rapes and impaled babies on a regular basis.
Nothing they say can ever be trusted.

God Is An Astronaut live a Roma con Jo Quail
I God Is An Astronaut tornano a Roma, il 16 ottobre al Largo Venue, accompagnati dalla violoncellista e compositrice Jo Quail.
Una dozzina di album all'attivo, alfieri di un post-rock capace di trasportarci con poche note attraverso l'universo, i God Is An Astronaut hanno conquistato pubblico e critica con le performance estive e si preparano per continuare sulla stessa falsariga anche in autunno.
Il trio irlandese, infatti, torna a calcare i palchi per presentare il nuovo album, Embers, un disco che fonde post-rock e prog in un viaggio emozionale dedicato al padre scomparso dei fratelli Kinsella. Embers collega il passato con il futuro aggiungendo strumenti tradizionali dell’Est Asiatico, amplificatori Anni ’60 e pedali vintage a una musica come sempre evocativa e carica di emozioni. Un percorso attraverso generi, individualità, comunità e sperimentazione che solo i God Is An Astronaut sanno narrare.
In apertura ci sarà il set di Jo Quail, compositrice e violoncellista virtuosa la cui musica si integra alla perfezione con le atmosfere sognanti della serata, un mix carico di contrasti e sempre in bilico tra avanguardia e suoni più classici, intimismo e intensità. Non ha caso durante l'estate ha lasciato il segno in contesti come Hellfest e Royal Festival Hall, ammaliando anche artisti come MONO, My Dying Bride ed Emma Ruth Rundle.

Il dibattito sulla complicità aziendale nel conflitto israelo-palestinese ha ricevuto un nuovo impulso con la pubblicazione del rapporto “From the Economy of Occupation to the Economy of Genocide” (2025), redatto da Francesca Albanese, Relatrice Speciale delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti umani nei Territori Palestinesi Occupati.
Questo rapporto, chiave per la comprensione di chi finanzia la guerra a Gaza, ha delineato la transizione da una semplice economia dell’occupazione a una vera e propria economia del genocidio. Il rapporto analizza in dettaglio le aziende coinvolte nel genocidio a Gaza, evidenziando come i flussi economici globali contribuiscano al mantenimento dell’assedio e alla distruzione delle infrastrutture civili palestinesi.
Parallelamente, il database indipendente Who Profits e il movimento BDS – Boicottaggio, Disinvestimento e Sanzioni hanno documentato i legami di numerose aziende globali con l’occupazione israeliana e gli insediamenti illegali.
Questa lista aggiornata di aziende complici dell’occupazione israeliana incrocia i dati fondamentali per il consumo critico e consapevole in Italia:
- Rapporto Albanese (ONU, 2025) – Economia del genocidio, analisi
- Database Who Profits – Aziende e occupazione
- Campagne BDS internazionali – Marchi da evitare secondo il movimento BDS
L’obiettivo è offrire una panoramica verificata delle aziende complici dell’occupazione israeliana, permettendo ai cittadini di orientare le proprie scelte economiche e adottare un consumo realmente consapevole.
⚠️ Avvertenza importante:
La presenza di un’azienda in queste fonti non implica una condanna legale, ma indica segnalazioni o campagne pubbliche basate su analisi indipendenti, inchieste giornalistiche o rapporti di ONG. Molte aziende contestano le accuse o hanno modificato le proprie politiche.

Guida al consumo critico e consapevole
Il boicottaggio etico dei prodotti israeliani è oggi uno strumento di pressione civile sempre più utilizzato.
Per i consumatori che cercano di agire tramite il consumo consapevole, queste indicazioni pratiche possono essere d’aiuto:
- 🔍 Verificare l’origine: evitare prodotti etichettati “Israele” o marchi agricoli noti (Jaffa, Carmel, Jordan River).
- 📦 Codice a barre 729: è l’identificativo dei prodotti israeliani.
- 📱 App utili: Boycat e No Thanks permettono di scansionare i prodotti e verificare se sono tra gli obiettivi BDS.
- 🌍 Database ufficiali: consultare WhoProfits.org e il Rapporto ONU di Francesca Albanese per approfondire i legami economici e di investimento.

Frankenstein Junior diventa una serie TV: pilota FX con Cary Elwes, regia di Taika Waititi e Mel Brooks tra i produttori
Frankenstein Junior torna in vita in versione seriale. FX ha ordinato il pilota di “Very Young Frankenstein”, una serie TV ispirata alla commedia cult di Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, 1974). Il progetto, sviluppato da 20th Television per FX/Hulu, punta a riportare in chiave moderna il mix di parodia gotica, slapstick e citazionismo che rese immortale l’originale in bianco e nero.
