In 2024, seven European street artists worked with local communities to transform facades across Belgium into powerful works of art.

These reflect visions of a sustainable, fair, innovative, and democratic Europe.

And such European initiatives are ongoing, with more murals being created, not only in Belgium, but across Europe. 🇪🇺

Through dialogue and creativity, we’re shaping the EU of tomorrow, together.

You should have just used AI, human artists largely make junk this is some of the worst I have seen. EU gov is so gross and tasteless.

Art elevates spirit and shows that life is not only a daily struggles. We are growing out of old, greyish, soulless socialistic architecture 🥰


#ScummVM has just released a stable version that supports a game I made a while ago. Does that mean I'm officially old...err, retro now? 😓🧓

Congrats @scummvm! 🎉

Why China does not have 5000 years of civilization

in reply to Nanook

@nanook

He explains that 5000 years of history is not the same as 5000 years of continous civilization

He claims that China went intellectually down hill after becoming unified and no longer allowed many schools of thought

in reply to shortstories

@shortstories Well one has to define continuous, but if you look at language evolution, you can find the same format used today 5000 years ago. Yes, the civilization and territory have grown and shrunk, yes, other civilizations have mixed and muddled, that is just the nature of time.


Ailton Krenak says:

“Life is joy, it’s dance, only it’s a cosmic dance … Why do we insist on turning life into something useful? We must have the courage to be radically alive, not keep bargaining for survival.”

Two key differences between China & the USA:

1. China is led by engineers (or those with a science background), the USA is led by lawyers & bankers (or now a property speculator);

2. China's economy remains focussed on manufacturing while the US economy is structured by a dominance of finance (and health services, and to some extent defence).

How these differences play on in global political terms is becoming increasingly important to the rest of the world.

Another difference is the US belief that The Market is the source of all improvement whereas China still prefers to plan.
in reply to Peter 💙 Stevens

@PhilthyPierre

Although one might also note that China is much more likely to use the market as a tool than it was (say) half a century ago

More than 9,200 Palestinians, including over 400 children and 55 women, remain imprisoned without charge or trial under inhumane conditions in Israeli jails.

Speaking to tens of thousands in central London, Samer Jaber, representing the Red Ribbons campaign, highlighted their suffering and called on the global movement to keep their stories at the heart of the fight for justice.

I have a friend who is exhausted from horrific nightmares. Not bad dreams but relentlessly unspeakable horrors.

If you have ever suffered from traumatizing nightmares, can you share anything you've found that helped?

(Yes, they are in the care of a number of doctors; no, the doctors are not helping.)

Seeking experience- or research-backed replies only, no conjecture or search engine results. Will lock for "I asked ChatGPT".

Thank you.

In the occupied West Bank, two Palestinians have been injured by Israeli settlers who targeted a Bedouin village. More than 90 settlers are reported to have stormed the village overnight, setting fire to some homes.

Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports.

Israeli air strikes killed at east 30 people in Gaza Saturday, including children, according to hospitals, as the military said it attacked in response to a Hamas ceasefire violation.

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire entering its second phase earlier this month, violence in the Palestinian territory has continued, with both Israel and Hamas accusing each other of violating the truce agreement.
