Não comecem por Marx. Bebam muito, fumem maconha, vivam um lifestyle esquerdista antes de ler Marx.

"Right now, we’re in the midst of an attention crisis, individually and collectively snared in an infinite scroll of disruption and distraction. Berger saw this crisis coming and foresaw its consequences." A.O. Scott for @nytimes/@nytmag nytimes.com/2026/10/18/magaz…
The Man Who Taught Us How to Pay Attention

The Man Who Taught Us How to Pay Attention

The works of the British art critic John Berger offer the antidote to our age of infinite scrolling.

One of their photographers was nearly lynched by terrorists yet they can’t bring themselves to demand justice. Instead they’re pleading for an “investigation” from those who encouraged the attack. Pathetic, cowardly statement from a rag that constantly self-censors for Israel:

This video captures settlers beating Heidi. They clubbed her, kicked her. Pulled her up off the ground to beat her more. Robbed her of all her equipment. If she didn’t have a helmet—and if she was Palestinian—she could be dead.

Why are hotels so expensive? A new lawsuit alleges that travel website Expedia is rigging the entire market, exploiting its leverage over 80% of all online bookings to inflate hotel prices in every booking channel by 15-30%. It's an economy-wide price fixing scheme, not unlike what Amazon does to retail. /

“Abolishing the death penalty” was quietly removed as a stated goal of the Democratic Party as of 2024. Just something I’m thinking about today

“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked. “I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.

THREAD. Did you know that Minneapolis police deployed 101 personnel to a 7-person vigil held one morning at Renee Good's memorial? The cops generated $1.92 million in overtime cash for themselves.
