The interposing of the technical object between us and the world takes on another sense. Whether in the domestic, educational, medical, or commercial field, the value of consumption lies less in the actual cost of what we buy than in that of the progress of knowledge. We are moving into an economy based on the production and circulation of immaterial goods, that is, knowledge and information. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology

I wonder how many of the Fanta Fascist's worshippers are willing to take the oath?

I bet most of them.

Ah, I was chatting to our local police once upon a time about how the state of the economy is reflected in the nature of crime.

Yes, when there's more money about acquisitive crime (burglary etc) does indeed reduce, but this is balanced by an increase in drunken violence.

in reply to Church of Jeff

"Tough on the causes of crime", as leaders of the Labour Party used to say before - well, before *this*.

Israel’s cabinet has for the first time voted to take sole responsibility for land registration in Area C of the occupied West Bank, a decision that has been described as effective Israeli annexation of the majority of Palestinian land.

On Sunday, the Israeli cabinet agreed that in Area C, Israel would now make all decisions about land, and any Palestinian efforts to recognise land using its own land registry would be legally void.

The image is a two-panel comic strip with a peach-colored background. In the first panel, a character with purple hair, wearing a black shirt with a yellow undershirt, is laughing with her arms crossed. She has a third eye on her forehead and is speaking, saying, "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" Below her speech bubble, she says, "IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE ANY MAGIC." The second panel shows another character with dark hair, wearing a black jacket with a green sleeve, holding a gun. He looks unimpressed and says, "CLAC." The character with purple hair is laughing, indicated by the sound effects "HAHAHA LOL" and "WHEEZE" around her. The overall tone of the comic is humorous, with the second character's response implying he has a countermeasure to the first character's supposed magical abilities.

Das Bild zeigt ein schwarz-weißes Bild mit Text auf einem schwarzen Hintergrund. Der Text lautet: "Just curious, what's the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?" (Nur neugierig, wie hoch die Zölle auf ein 400 Millionen Dollar teures Flugzeug aus Katar sind?). Der Text ist in weißer Schrift und in einer einfachen, gut lesbaren Schriftart geschrieben. Oben links ist ein Benutzername "[@]briantylercohen" in kleinerer Schrift zu sehen.

Na altura (da nomeação para óscar) vi no internet archive e gostei muito.
Pode ser que após passar na RTP 2 fique disponível para sempre na RTP Play


Pronunciamento de Ednaldo Rodrigues, presidente da CBF, no anúncio oficial da contratação do técnico Carlo Ancelotti.

🎥 CBF TV

in reply to Futebola 🤪⚽

O vídeo apresenta um homem em um ambiente formal, vestindo um terno azul escuro, camisa azul clara e gravata roxa. Ele está em frente a um fundo de madeira com o emblema da CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol) gravado, com três bandeiras ao fundo: uma verde e amarela, uma azul com estrelas e outra azul com o logotipo da CBF. O homem está falando e fazendo gestos com as mãos, indicando que está em um discurso ou apresentação. A iluminação é uniforme, destacando o homem e o fundo. A cena permanece consistente ao longo do vídeo, com o homem mantendo a mesma postura e expressão facial, sugerindo um discurso contínuo.
