The Catholic Church's latest saint would definitely have been on Mastodon: "Acutis was precociously savvy with computers..., reading college-level textbooks on programming and coding as a youngster and making websites that at the time were the domain of professionals. But he limited himself to an hour of video games a week, apparently deciding long before TikTok that human relationships were far more important than virtual ones." apnews.com/article/vatican-pop…?

Putin, 'se si raggiunge la pace, nessun bisogno di truppe'
piccolo putin... le truppe servono con la pace giusto perché nessuno si fida che la russia manterrà a lungo la parola data... davvero dovremmo fidarci? quante volte la russia si è già rimangiata la parola data?

The pain is indescribable, and tears are no longer enough. I need your voice and support to face this hardship together. Help my family stay alive, please. 🔥
To think -- some of us spent all that time and effort in school studying science, history, and math. We thought deeply about ethics and society.
Now, our government and businesses are run by the kids who cheated on all the exams. Our law enforcement and defense are run by the kids who skipped class to drink behind the bleachers. And our health care and science policy are run by the people who ate the crayons.

The problem is that by bankrupting a large country, a few individuals can become immensely rich. Perhaps politics should be populated exclusively by people free of any private interests.

They might make themselves immensely rich for a short period of time, but you can’t gut nation for very long before it withers and dies.
They are already immensely wealthy.
I’m not entirely certain you can get away from private interests. Every group has them.. what can work are egalitarian societies where power flows upwards.
It is a principle of democracy, but clearly the system we have now is ossified.
Plato argues that politics in the polis should be conducted by philosopher-kings – individuals who possess wisdom, knowledge of the Forms, and a love for the Good. These philosopher-kings are uniquely qualified to govern because their reason is dominant over their impulses and desires, allowing them to pursue the true common good of the city. This elite group, selected through a rigorous education system is the only path to a just and stable state
Sure that’s an argument, but as always, it’s whether or not the idea meets with reality.
It is interesting to know that Europeans encountering Native American Society were introduced to the idea of the egalitarianism and reason, and it was only due to the heavy criticism of native Americans of European society what they saw of it in the colonies, that fostered the enlightenment.
The “savages” frowned upon the hierarchy. They saw in European culture, and they found the squabbling in the obsession with money to be something to be avoided. They deliberately chose as long as I could did not get mixed up European ideas of social structure.
And it is interesting to know that a lot of European colonialists went native. Apparently egalitarianism was more agreeable to Europeans.

Every time I see Pritzker pop up, he's doing nerdy/cool things to help people: in this case, home insurance rates, which are quickly escalating due to #climatechange and ofc punishing the disadvantaged the most.
(insurance is a disaster and will just get worse with more climate disasters, people generally have *zero* idea the risk here)
great piece by @scrawford.bsky.social
susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/…
How insurance pricing obscures the real cost of climate change
Credit scores, not disaster risk, play a major role in home insurance prices — muting what could be an important market signal of physical riskSusan Crawford (Moving Day)
it is something that just happens to you if you inherit (which is the case with, obviously, a lot of dynasty families, Pritzkers are one of those)
The greed happened before you (and probably continues) but it's not exactly the same as being the OG Bezos.
I call them a "class" because they act with class interests in general (and Pritzker is a traitor to those interests consistently).
I'm a fan of billionaires who give it all away as well (or try to, like MacKenzie)

The People’s Academy returns tomorrow, Saturday 6 September at 15:00 UTC, with a class on Sanctions as Warfare taught by Dr. Farwa Sial.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States, United Nations Security Council, and European Union have dramatically escalated the use of unilateral coercive measures, or sanctions, in peacetime — an escalation in economic warfare made possible by the fall of the Soviet Union.
In the past few decades, there has been a concerted effort to legitimate sanctions as a lawful instrument to punish nations that refuse to submit to imperialist diktat. Their effects have been brutal. Sanctions have not only claimed millions of lives — recent research shows that, between 1971 and 2021, US and EU sanctions have claimed 38 million lives globally. They have also maintained inequality among nations, preserving the racial hierarchy of the colonial order in the international system.
In Unit 5, we look at sanctions as a weapon of war — and consider the ways in which popular forces in Palestine, Yemen, and elsewhere have inverted the tool against the imperialists themselves.
You can find the reading materials here (progressiveinternational.notio…) and tune in to the lecture here (youtube.com/live/56QRcUjNtTg).
