Nearly 2,000 French high schools are blockaded or closed amid massive student-led protests. The demonstrations began at a single school in the economically deprived suburbs of Paris, where students protested teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated school buildings.

It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant

The Guardian is abysmal on far right politics (comes with being centrist liberal and transphobic) to begin with, & today's piece on Flávio Bolsonaro, "Keeping up with the Bolsonaros: Flávio’s surprise first-round election win heralds rise of a political dynasty" feels like it's downplaying a lot.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

That there is an October 25th run-off in the Brazilian election, and Flávio Bolsonaro could become President, is depressing. The US, along with US tech platforms - Meta and X - have signalled very openly that they want fascism to come back to the country.

I cannot believe this even has to be said but if far-right actors disagree amongst themselves, we should not try to figure who is right or whether one is an ally and/or the other worse They are both terrible options and no alliance should ever be considered as it only legitimises them

@heistberlin.bsky.social has a great piece on Berghain now essentially being Disneyland for Adults (not complimentary), and there's this great paragraph that could apply to many an arts scene, and/or Berlin at large: www.heistberlin.com/berghain-pol...
Nowadays, disaster capitalist wealth, garnered via the disinheritance of low-income Black Americans, is what gives you  your Berlin techno content on Instagram. It's all a bit removed from Underground Resistance, the radical Detroit collective that defined techno's political origins. At times, one wonders whether it's merely the cosplay of a counterculture.
