99% Invisible: Towers of Silence
99percentinvisible.org/episode…
Situated right in downtown Mumbai, India is an area of about 55 acres of dense, overgrown forest. In one of the most populous cities in the world, this is a place where peacocks roam freely -- a space out of time. This forest is protected by a religious community. It has survived in a relatively undeveloped state in the middle of this gargantuan city. Importantly, it’s also home to an ancient tradition in crisis -- one that is central to the lives (and deaths) of a particular population.There’s a certain point in this forest beyond which almost no one can step -- only special caretakers of these grounds can go any further. They go by many names: khandia, nassassalar, pallbearer, corpse bearer. Their work here is holy. They carry dead bodies to their final resting place – atop stone structures that stand gray against the lush green. These buildings are called Towers of Silence.

Genocidio en Palestina ¡Basta ya!
Ningún pueblo del mundo debería sufrir un genocidio...
La humanidad está en una fase de adolescencia autodestructiva y algunos temen que no lleguemos a la madurez.
Amor y sabiduría para que todos los pueblos del mundo aprendamos de una vez a vivir y cuidarnos juntos, con el resto de nuestros hermanos no-humanos.
Y podamos disfrutar y cuidar juntos de esta Tierra y del milagro de estar vivos y ser conscientes :)
Seguiremos trabajando por celebrar la vida y no perder nunca la ilusión de vivirla, cuidarla y poder transmitirle esa visión/misión a cuantos más mejor.
¡AGUANTA PUEBLO DE #PALESTINA! ¡GOBIERNO DE #ISRAEL BASTA YA!

Hacia tiempo que no escuchaba a un artista que me transmistiera tanto con su música como nuestro hermano Alex Serra.
Su música me ayuda a seguir sintiéndome vivo en esta jungla de hormigón:

Throughline: Ralph Nader, Consumer Crusader - npr.org/2024/04/18/1198908720/…
Whether it's pesticides in your cereal or the door plug flying off your airplane, consumers today have plenty of reasons to feel like corporations might not have their best interests at heart. At a moment where we're seeing unprecedented product recalls, and when trust in the government is near historic lows, we're going to revisit a time when a generation of people felt empowered to demand accountability from both companies and elected leaders — and got results. Today on the show, the story of the U.S. consumer movement and its controversial leader: the once famous, now infamous Ralph Nader.
This man is asking to be killed (assisted suicide) because he will be kicked out of his home and he does not want to end up being homeless and sick - youtu.be/Up5k2Lx5SPI
Just a news from planet Earth where the "only" intelligent species in the Universe lives. Where they, humans, have so much shit (cars and toys, electronics and houses, food and clothes) that they create mountains of waste out of them. And yet, many people suffer on a daily basis because these "intelligent" humans do not realize that they are merely a more advanced species of ants who work all day, but never wonder for what. They trade trade trade....and that's all they do. They are blinded by the fantasy of their system that they themselves created and it is now obsolete.
We can provide for everyone with a decent life, trade-free. Now. Today. Not tomorrow.

Unknown parent • •What has Google listened to? So are they providing security support for their Pixel 4a? Or just the new Pixel as a marketing scheme? Because rendering millions of phones "dead" and unusable because you refuse to support it software-wise, should be a criminal act.
I can't trust you saying that CalyxOS for Pixel 4a is a security risk. I have no idea who you are or what you do. I bet most phones are not getting security updates anymore but we still see no epidemic of hacked devices and dead people around us.
I think you are greatly exaggerating and it seems to me you have some beef with Calyx for some reason.

Years on end? You make it sound like I've been hanging onto this phone for the last 10 years.
I bought the phone at release in August 2020. Google ended support for it in August 2023. Three years is an absolute joke.
My understanding is that Graphene gets the security updates via AOSP. Since Google no longer provides updates to the 4a then there is a definite security risk.
