Chatting The Pictures: Black Voters on the Outside

💾

Rep. Justin Pearson, D‑Memphis, is blocked by the Sergeant at Arms as he tries to enter a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on the second day of a special redistricting session at the Tennessee State Office Building. Republicans have reconvened behind closed doors after protesters shut down the previous day’s hearing on a GOP plan to dismantle Memphis’s lone majority‑Black congressional district.

The discussion reads Hester’s doorway standoff as a live test of whether civil‑rights‑era victories on access and representation can withstand today’s more openly authoritarian playbook.

Milky Way Photography - Overcoming Lighting Challenges

💾

I was really keen to get back to the small Tasmanian town of Cranbrook to shoot a beautifully restored church under the stars.
There were also a number of other great compositions scattered around the district. However I was faced with some significant challenges as you will see in this video.

Dias de horror nas mãos de Israel: um relato em primeira pessoa - com Cássio Pelegrini

Este episódio tem descrições detalhadas de violência e pode não ser adequado para todos.

No último dia 18 de maio, a Marinha de Israel atacou ilegalmente, em águas internacionais, navios em missão humanitária que tentavam romper o bloqueio à Faixa de Gaza para atender a população. As ações resultaram na apreensão dos  barcos da Flotilha Global Sumud e no sequestro de ativistas de diversos países, incluindo o Brasil.

O médico pediatra Cássio Pelegrini, que atua no atendimento a imigrantes em São Paulo, era um dos integrantes da Flotilha e é o entrevistado do Pauta Pública desta semana. Na conversa com Andrea Dip, ele faz um relato detalhado do horror vivido nas mãos dos militares israelenses: espancamentos, choques, privação de água, exposição ao frio e ao calor, violência sexual e violência psicológica extrema. Relatos de tortura, que contaram com o aval do próprio ministro de Segurança Nacional do país, Itamar Ben-Gvir, que chegou a divulgar em suas redes sociais vídeos de ativistas amarrados e ajoelhados, com a legenda “bem-vindos a Israel”. 

Apesar da violência extrema, Pelegrini considera que os ativistas seguem firmes no apoio ao povo palestino:  “eles fraturaram muitos corpos e foram violentos com a gente psicologicamente, mas em nenhum momento tivemos dúvida de que era o correto estar ali. Então, moralmente, a gente saiu intacto”, afirma.

Friends of the Bodleian Annual Lecture // Richard Ovenden: Defending Knowledge: Why Libraries Matter

💾

Watch the Friends of the Bodleian Annual Lecture featuring Richard Ovenden OBE, Bodley’s Librarian, as he explores the deliberate destruction of knowledge throughout history and its urgent relevance today.

Drawing from his acclaimed book Burning the Books: A History of Knowledge Under Attack, Richard will discuss how libraries, librarians, and archivists bear the profound responsibility of preserving and transparently sharing information, and their critical role in safeguarding knowledge for future generations.

“Why are books destroyed? It’s about control—controlling knowledge to control societies, to control the way people behave, the way people think, the way people spend money.” – Richard Ovenden

Speaker
Richard Ovenden OBE is the 25th Bodley’s Librarian and the Helen Hamlyn Director of the University Libraries at the University of Oxford. He holds this post together with being Head of Gardens, Libraries & Museums. Richard serves as President of the Digital Preservation Coalition, and as a member of the Advisory Council of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz. He has written extensively on the history of the book and current concerns in the library, archive and information worlds. He is the author of Burning the Books: A History of Knowledge Under Attack.

This Single Power Will Save Our Future (And The School System Ignores It) | Sir Ken Robinson

💾

Human creativity, creative thinking, and the power of imagination: Sir Ken Robinson explains why cultivating these human evolution skills is our generation's highest strategic priority.

Nobody predicted the world we live in today, and nobody can predict the next one.

We are no longer dealing with business as usual. Imagination is the exact power that carried humanity from caves to conference halls, and from eating carrion to cuisine. It has driven every single masterpiece, scientific breakthrough, and leap forward in human history.

Sir Ken Robinson believed this isn’t a talent reserved for the few—it is a natural human power inside every single one of us. Yet, our current systems continue to diminish it instead of making it flourish. Cultivating this gift systematically in our schools, our businesses, and our communities is the defining challenge of our generation.

Share this if you believe it’s time to change how we value creativity.

Gafanhotos devoradores que por onde passam deixam rastros de morte e destruição

💾

Os coronéis paranaenses que atrasam o desenvolvimento das crianças e o progresso da comunidade, são os mesmos que a cada dois anos se colocam como “representantes do povo”.

Gafanhotos devoradores que por onde passam deixam rastros de morte e destruição.

E quando alguém ousa falar a verdade, eles perseguem, censuram e eliminam.

Mas não há o que temer, nem lamentar, pois nenhum império durou para sempre na história da humanidade, e o deles não será exceção.

Hasta la victoria!

Sir Ken Robinson on Why Schools Are Completely Unprepared for AI

💾

Will artificial intelligence completely rewrite the future of work? As AI takes jobs across the professional sector, it's predicted to eliminate 40% of roles in medicine and law - not just repetitive tasks, but jobs that require judgment.

Sir Ken Robinson asked the question most education systems haven't caught up to yet: what is it about us, and our children, that a machine cannot replicate?

He called it the human advantage. The capacity to imagine, connect, and create - the things that make us human, and that school has spent decades quietly pushing aside.

The Industrial Revolution shaped our education system. The AI revolution is ending that world. The question is whether we change with it.
