“A lot of people don’t understand that” because it didn’t happen that way at all. The Great Depression began in 1929, and Congress raised tariffs the *next year* with Smoot Hawley, making the economic pain even worse. The Great Depression ended with the advent of WWII some 10 years later. Nothing he ever says is correct.
Now and in future is the translation of the title of Housemeister's album. You can immerse yourself in these muscular sounds of a quick-setting #electronic, like liquid cement...
China tested a magnetic bubble train that floats without tracks or wheels
On a long runway outside Chengdu, Chinese engineers have unveiled a breathtaking new prototype — a magnetic bubble transport pod that hovers in open air, needing no tracks or physical contact. Dubbed the “SkyDrift”, it glides in a sealed magnetic field, encased inside a transparent atmospheric tunnel that keeps it afloat and stable.
The pod floats not on rails, but inside a controlled magneto-atmospheric chamber — a vacuum-sealed tube with circular electromagnetic coils embedded in its wall. The coils generate a moving bubble of force that levitates and propels the vehicle using no wheels, no contact, and near-zero friction.
Unlike maglev systems, which require expensive rails and support infrastructure, SkyDrift’s magnetic field moves with the pod. The vehicle remains centered in the tunnel and can maneuver gently at high speeds — even over rough terrain or in unstable climates. Its first test reached 620 km/h.
The inside of the pod feels like an aircraft cabin, with no vibration, no engine noise, and wide panoramic glass for visibility. The low-pressure chamber drastically reduces air drag, allowing ultra-efficient acceleration with minimal power draw from onboard battery arrays.
This could be the future of transport — not just fast, but frictionless.

🚨 The state’s rolling out the terrorism label again — this time for a noise demo outside an ICE detention center in Texas. No, seriously.
On July 4th, 10 anti-ICE protesters were arrested outside the Prairieland facility in Alvarado. And now the pigs and their bootlicker allies in the right-wing media are spinning it into some fantasy about domestic terrorism — the usual fear-mongering to justify locking people up for standing with migrants.
Bail is set at $10 million each — a fucking obscene number that makes it clear this isn't about justice. It's about sending a message: “Resist ICE, and we'll bury you.”
And look, as someone who’s been labeled a “terrorist” just for making media, I know damn well how useful that label is to the state and fascists alike. It doesn’t just ruin lives — it disappears people. These comrades are now facing charges that carry 10 years to life. For what? Showing up and raising hell in defense of human beings trapped in ICE cages.
They need our help. Legal fees, rent, child support — they’re inside while life outside keeps moving. So share this far and wide, and throw down what you can.
Das Bild zeigt einen langhaarigen braunen Hund, der in einem Park sitzt. Der Hund hat seine Augen geschlossen und wirkt entspannt. Seine langen, welligen Ohren fallen nach unten, und sein Fell ist glatt und glänzend. Der Hintergrund ist leicht unscharf, aber man kann grünes Gras und Bäume erkennen, was darauf hindeutet, dass der Hund sich in einer ruhigen, grünen Umgebung befindet. Der Hund trägt eine grüne Leine, was darauf hinweist, dass er wahrscheinlich mit seinem Besitzer spazieren geht. Die Szene wirkt friedlich und entspannt.

Da oggi la L.U.P.O. diventa punto di raccolta permanente per le persone detenute dentro i CPR. Crediamo sia importante non lasciare solx nessunx, non lasciare indietro nessunx.
Le strutture, una a Caltanissetta ed una Trapani-Milo, sono in posti isolati ed assolati. All’interno le violenze sistemiche si sommano alle condizioni ambientali invivibili.
E’ per questo che abbiamo deciso di portare il nostro contributo e la nostra solidarietà, iniziando una raccolta di beni e fondi, con una cassa No Border.
La raccolta avverà Lunedì, durante l’assemblea di gestione, ed il Giovedì durante le iniziative dalle h.19.00 in poi.
Convintx che per spezzare le catene, serve la determinazione di chi è reclusx, e la solidarietà di chi è fuori.
Dove lo stato segna confini, noi sogniamo orizzonti. Complici e solidali con lx reclusx in lotta!

Certa informazione si attacca a 7-8 giorni di fresco per negare un cambiamento climatico ormai evidente anche ad un piccione ubriaco, zoppo e orbo. Li vedo, dopo un mese di giugno eccezionalmente caldo, ad asciugarsi il sudore freddo grazie a questa parentesi gradevole. 1/2
Parentesi che non smentisce nulla e che non intacca minimamente il trend ultradecennale al rialzo termico. In Italia la stagione estiva si è scaldata più di 2 °C in soli 30 anni. Tutto in attesa della prossima, inevitabile, fase con temperature superiori alle medie.
The world is harder when it wasn’t designed for you
The campaign “The world is harder when it wasn’t designed for you” was developed by the Vozes da Inclusão Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. The initiative proposes a shift in perspective by imagining a world designed exclusively for people with disabilities, highlighting the challenges that non-disabled individuals would face in such a context.

The goal is to foster empathy and raise awareness about the barriers that inaccessible environments impose daily on people with disabilities. The campaign emphasizes that “we only change the world when we change our mindset,” encouraging deep reflection on the importance of designing spaces and services that are inclusive for everyone.

The image depicts a natural scene with a variety of wildflowers. In the foreground, there are several plants with delicate white flowers, each composed of numerous small florets, giving them a feathery appearance. The stems are slender and green, with some buds that are yet to bloom. The background is filled with a mix of green foliage and other wildflowers, including some with vibrant purple blooms. The overall setting appears to be a forest or meadow, with a soft focus that blurs the background, emphasizing the white flowers in the foreground. The lighting suggests it is daytime, with natural light illuminating the scene.
