this was outstanding and right. With just one listen, which is unfair since this is a very rich narrative, I see some hard parallels to Altadena in the recent LA fires.
While I know who we care about, when we care, and why we care, is essentially owned by our commercial media, and their bias points are clear, it's still shocking every time to see real world examples. Examples of how far apart the experience on the ground is when compared to the presentation in what is supposed to be objective news.
Any time I think it's exhausting to do the extra work to close some gap or right some wrong, I just think about how I would feel if my entire community was destroyed and no one gave a shit because it wasn't reported because corporate media doesn't think the people living there are actually people.
To me, that's what this is about. *Only certain types of people are people*, and only those people will be reported on or highlighted or reeled or whatever they do these days on the news.
And that is unacceptable and nothing will change my mind about that.
I think it depends on the type of national disaster.
I got a bit excited to hear there has been a minor earthquake last night. Was that what woke me up?
No. It was a damn 2.6 quake in Berkeley that even people living on top of the epicenter didn't wake up for.

They are gutting weather because someone can make money off that data. And it will hide climate change, to a degree. (Pun intended)

There once was a Cat named Stitches,
With fur patched in odd little niches.
He’d spark in the night,
Make doggies take flight,
And nap on his bed full of switches!

August 30, 2017 – After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Donald Trump visited Corpus Christi and told a small crowd the recovery from the hurricane’s devastation would be “better than ever before.”
His proposed budget slashed FEMA programs aimed at helping Americans get back on their feet after natural disasters.

@BB all'andata eravamo in 2, al ritorno in 3 😁
e l'altra differenza rilevante è che anziché attraversare il piattume padano abbiamo attraversato la Svizzera (facendo tunnel e non passi, ma ridendo e scherzando e imprecando un po' contro il traffico si è arrivati ai 1600 m slm) e la Francia (che invece è diversamente piana)

È possibile fare una crociera su un mercantile!
I prezzi non sono quelli delle crociere del Lidl, ovviamente, ma paragonabili a quelli di un hotel a pensione completa.

" 📚 Lesung & Gespräch: Graue Wölfe. Türkischer Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland 📚
Sichert euch euren Platz unter: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Am 02. September 2025 um 19:00 Uhr laden wir herzlich zu einer besonderen Veranstaltung in Berlin ein:
🎤 Der Autor Ismail Küpeli wird Passagen seines aktuellen Buches "Graue Wölfe. Türkischer Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland" lesen und dabei zum Gespräch zur Verfügung stehen.
Der unter dem Namen "Graue Wölfe" bzw. "Ülkücü-Bewegung" organisierte türkische Rechtsextremismus stellt in Deutschland zahlenmäßig die zweitgrößte extrem rechte Bewegung dar. Gemeinsam beleuchten wir die zutiefst autoritäre und menschenfeindliche Ideologie dieser Bewegung und diskutieren dabei vor allem die darin seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 zunehmende Bedeutung von Verschwörungsdenken und (israelbezogenem) Antisemitismus.
📍 Wann? 02. September 2025, Einlass: 19 Uhr, Beginn: 19:30 Uhr
📍 Wo? Berlin Mitte, genauer Ort nur nach Anmeldung! "
WI in der Diskussion mit Ismail Küpeli
