Just discovered a new comic on postcolonial critique: "Episodes From a Colonial Present"

"This collective comic project illuminates the coloniality of everyday life as well as the decolonising potential of everyday struggles in the spaces, discourses and practices of so-called global development."

The cover of the comic "Episodes From a Colonial Present" features a central illustration that captures elements symbolizing the colonial era's ongoing influence. In the middle, there are drawings of coffee, ships, passports, and other relevant items. At the top of the cover, the names of the authors are listed ( Daniel Bendix, Chandra-Milena Danielzik, Franziska Müller, Lata Narayanaswamy, Juan Telleria, Miriam friz Trzeciak, Aram Ziai), while the names of the artists appear further down the page (Hangula Werner, Roshni Vyam, Michel Esselbrügge, Qi Zhou, RotmInas – Rotmi Enciso & Ina Riaskov, Maite Mentxaka Tena, Lena Ziyal).

#SilentSunday
Sailing into a Norwegian fjord on a dark cloudy day. The sea is stone cold grey-black, rippling everywhere with wind and rain. Ahead, on the left and right, the bottom slopes of two mountains meet the sea. They are black, rocky, unforgiving. Between them, we see a glimpse of another mountain far into the fjord. It looks misty from here, almost blue, ghostly. The overall feeling of the scene: cold, forbidding, beautifully brutal. As if the gap up ahead is marked on the map: Here Be Trolls.

@rvedotrc Haha, no. Those hills are a bit steeper than the terrible uphill bike lane on Randersvej. I took it in Norway a few years ago, to the north of Bergen.

@rvedotrc Bergen is wonderful. And the train trip there from Oslo is awesome, in every sense of the word.

How do you go through this entire story and mention sanctions but not the recent and very related seizure of Maduro's plane?

Upright photo, looking very close up at the hull of a huge old commercial trawler just at the point where it submerges in calm harbour water. The ship is bright blue with white patches rusted off. A huge old rusty anchor is in its slot. Just above the water line it has a white section and a rust-red section with depth measurements on it, lines showing from 46 to 56. 46 to 56 Whats? Who knows?! Not me. An indentation in the hull frames a slice of the harbour beyond where we can see a similar ship in its entirety, as if tucked into this one.

Utpressning mot rappare. Den 9 september sköts det mot en lägenhetsdörr i Mariehäll i Bromma, Stockholm. Två dagar senare sköts det mot en dörr på Södermalm i Stockholm. De två skjutningarna hör ihop och riktades mot två rappare.

It's frickin fibrin.

That's what makes #Covid different,

That's what's causing blood clotting issues and inflammation responsible for most of #longCovid

That's where developing treatments need lightning speed development.

La ricetta per cucinare una notizia irrilevante in un allarme mediatico

Ingredienti
- notizia francese
- prodotto francese quasi omonimo di uno italiano
- un giornale di 💩
- clickbait
- sintesi a cura di una IA

Prendere una notizia francese senza dire che è francese, ma rendendola più cliccabile facendo intendere che è italiana, e metterla su un giornale francese.
Aggiungere descrizione IA del prodotto francese, che descriverà il prodotto italiano

Pesto con botulino: cinque ricoverati in condizioni gravissime. L’allerta del ministero della Salute Cinque persone ricoverate in condizioni gravissime per botulino: tutte avevano consumato la stessa marca di pesto. Il prodotto alimentare italiano tra i più rinomati è stato associato in queste ore a una minaccia per la salute dei cittadini. L’allerta campeggia sul sito del ministero della salute italiano.
Attraverso il sistema di allerta per alimenti e mangimi Rasff (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) le autorità sanitarie francesi hanno infatti comunicato che stanno indagando su cinque probabili casi di botulismo legati al consumo di pesto di aglio in scatola. Pesto all’aglio artigianale: qual è la marca a rischio botulino Il prodotto è denominato pesto a l’ail des ours, della marca O Ptitis Oignons, e tutti i vasetti sono stati ritirati dal commercio. Lo rende noto il ministero della Salute sul sito web. “Poiché dalle indagini svolte è emerso che le condizioni artigianali di produzione non garantiscono la sterilizzazione della conserva, è stato deciso dalle Autorità francesi, a titolo precauzionale, il ritiro e richiamo di tutti i vasi prodotti (tutte le date di produzione, tutte le date di scadenza) ed è stato diffuso anche un avviso di sicurezza”, si legge. Dalle informazioni note si tratterebbe di circa 600 vasetti. La distribuzione è esclusivamente locale ma, nella notifica, è riportato che le conserve di questo pesto sono state vendute direttamente ai consumatori solo in occasione di alcuni eventi e festival in Francia.

To my last boost. Please boost this for wide spread. This is an opportunity for #braille dice sets to enter the realm of #mainstream and mass manufacturing. I haven't been able to read of full set of #dice as a #TTRPG player in 20 years since I went #blind. It would be beautiful for something like this to be added to life and make me feel like I'm right up there with everyone else. Thank you!

Just going to add the link directly here as well.
