“This is not just about a park!
This is about freedom
This is about the abuse of state power
This is about media being censored
This is about minorities not being protected
This is about all that we had for years as citizens
This is about all the lies from the government “in the name of democracy”
This is about the wish to end the dictatorship of Tayyip
This is about being heard
This is about being alive!”

thedailywhat:

TED Talk of the Day: A young entrepreneur named Colin Robertson attempts to deliver a three-minute TED talk about crowdsourcing solar energy solutions when his presentation is suddenly halted by every TED speaker’s worst nightmare: The infamous “spinning beach ball of death.”

Considering Robertson is really Eugene Cordero, an ImprovEverywhere agent who isn’t so much a young entrepreneur as a merry prankster, the “nightmare” doesn’t quite end there.

Cronica rota: Year Of The Storm - Un texto de The Pirate Bay:

2012 is the year of the storm.

The Pirate Bay will reach an age of 9 years. Experiencing raids, espionage and death threats, we’re still here. We’ve been through hell and back and it has made us tougher than ever.

The people running the site has changed during the years. No sane human being…

enactingpopulism:

«I think that the prospects in today’s Western Europe are rather unpleasant. All the governments in Western Europe are reacting to the crisis with extreme neoliberal formulas of adjustment. Zapatero has just passed a set of draconian measures and you know what is happening in Greece. In Germany the situation is also relatively unsustainable, and in England the relationship between Nick Clegg and David Cameron is quite feeble because there exist strong tendencies within the Liberal Democrats to reject the coalition agreement and the way it is implemented. So the situation is bad, and this all the more because the social democratic parties, which are the only viable alternative at the moment in Eastern as well as Western Europe, do not have any alternative plan. These conditions fuel extreme right-wing populism. If you don’t have an alternative to the system, people who feel a need for such an alternative move to extreme ideologies, wheter they are right-wing or left-wing. Take the example if France. There existed a classical discourse of opposition, which was that of the Communist Party and the red belts of the industrial cities. This world has disintegrated as a result of the tertiarization of the labour market. The outcome was a unique system of ower in which the social democrats and the more conservative forces did not differ very much from each other. The only political alternatives were to be found on the fringes of the left and right, yet it is the right fringe that has progressively expanded. Many former voters of the French Communist Party are today voter of Le Pen, a phenomenon thart is called gaucho-lepénisme. The reason is simple: if you want change in some way, the precise way om which that change is going to happen and its ideological framing become a seconday matter. And that is of course not only the situation in France. The chances for a left populism are today in Western Europe rather minimal. Populism is going to expand, but it will be a populism of the right.”
