CNN article header stating "Has the US ever assassinated a world leader before"
CNN is using rhetorical questions as headers at this point.
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
If only he had stronger potions
"Advanced manipulation techniques"
Torture, is also manipulation then I guess, one may think this is becoming too broad indeed...
Manipulation is putting a gun against someone's head? Or is that just a 'nudge'?
Ik weet niet of je het slechts een ongekwalificeerde marker van gevoel kan noemen, je kan op basis van onderzoek onder een populatie wel vaststellen of iets als normaal wordt gezien en er dus een proces van 'normalisering' plaatsvindt. Maar dat zal niet uit de cijfers alleen kunnen blijken.
Not sure the commodification of justice should be our way forward!
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.
Vermogensreus BlackRock jaagt op kortetermijnwinst – ten koste van klimaat, natuur en mensenrechten.
Jouw pensioen draagt hieraan bij. Want pensioenfonds ABP laat geld beheren door BlackRock.

Mogen we hier dan ook uit concluderen dat verassend veel mensen zonder rijbewijs de weg op gaan? Of gaat iedereen met de fiets naar de pomp? nos.nl/artikel/2586...

Terwijl extreemrechts tuig de politie en 't partijkantoor van D66 terroriseert, de NCTV steeds waarschuwt dat rechts-extremisme een groter probleem is dan links-extremisme, verklaarde de Tweede Kamer tussen neus en lippen het extreemlinkse Antifa tot terroristische organisatie 🤷🏻♂️
Ik nodig deze commentatoren uit om eens een semester lang colloquia, onderzoekspresentaties en beursaanvraaginterviews bij te wonen. Nergens wordt mijn zelfvertrouwen zo structureel en fundamenteel op de proef gesteld als tijdens de vernietigende discussiesessies aan de uni.

honestly this weirdly brief article is pretty bad, and a bunch of CCS advocates are basically using it to push more CCS
Going to toot my own horn here: I stayed up late over a bunch of nights to write this in Nov 24, and I try to make the case w/ much more detail

This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/IW0nTRZ7
🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”
Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Chart from the BDS website with a list of boycott targets- AXA, carrefour, HP, chevron, caltex, remax, ahava, taco, Siemens, sodastream. Divest: elbitbsystems, CAF, Volvo, CAT, Barclays, JCB, intel, chevron, Hyundai, HikVision. Pressure: Google, Amazon, Airbnb, booking dot com, Expedia, Disney, teva. Organic boycott targets: McDonald’s, dominos, papa johns, Burger King, wix, pizza hurt.
this is a very minor subskeet but! It has come to my attention that not everyone realises that BDS is actually a concerted effort and not just ‘I dislike this one company’.
Here’s the current list! Along with an explainer of how they were chosen: bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Agai...

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.
#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
