Não há imagens do completo imbecil que disse esta merda? Cá para mim está a pôr-se a jeito para ficar sem alguns dentes… foda-se, é demais https://twitter.com/azeite/status/1687138464288972818

@goatsarah PT or UK?

@mac84tv Are you able to expand the .hqx? Stuff Expander 5.5 just beeps and quits.

@Bossito O que se passa em França é as consequências disso. Não podemos achar que o comportamento individual não é influenciado pelo comportamento colectivo. O que se passa ali é uma consequência de muitos problemas, boa parte dos quais causados pela nossa sociedade, imperialista e racista. Se este caso em particular foi um exemplo disso? Nem sequer interessa. Quando já está tudo regado com gasolina, qualquer faísca faz iniciar-se o fogo. 5/5

@Bossito Deixa-me começar a minha resposta com algo que considero um exemplo significativo: Luke Marston, um artista nascido numa first nation no território a que chamamos Vancouver Island, criou, entre outras, duas obras relacionadas. A primeira, Shore to Shore, comemora o "Portuguese Joe”. Está localizada na nossa jóia da coroa, o Stanley Park, considerado recorrentemente o melhor parque urbano do planeta, visitado por milhões de pessoas todos os anos. https://lukemarston.com/art/shore-to-shore/ 1/…

@Bossito É também, que eu saiba, o único exemplo de calçada portuguesa em toda a BC, e quem sabe toda a zona oeste e central do Canadá.

A segunda parte desta obra é o Sea Wolf, e encontra-se em Lisboa, oferecida pelo artista. Onde? Num sítio deprimente, essencialmente a saída de um estacionamento nas traseiras do clube náutico. Mas ainda é pior que isso. Lembremo-nos que estas nações foram dizimadas, até ao presente, pelos colonizadores e pela igreja católica. Onde puseram a estátua então? 2/…

@Bossito Aqui. Junto ao Terreiro das Missas, onde "se rezavam missas para os pescadores que dali partiram para a Terra Nova”. E o que há do outro lado da estrada? A Praça do Império. Re-inaugurada em 2023. 3/…

@Bossito Isto é um exemplo flagrante da completa falta de sensibilidade e noção que os Europeus têm em relação ao seu passado colonial, e ao facto de, colectivamente, terem beneficiado disso até aos dias de hoje. É fácil de ver, estando fora da Europa, quão estruturalmente e inerentemente racista é a nossa sociedade, ilustrado nos dias de hoje por exemplo com o que se passa no mediterrâneo (já falámos disso). 4/…

@goatsarah That’s surprising. The physical organization of the Silo, and what exists in its floor, heavily suggests that.

@goatsarah @davewoodx My guess was the air in the suit was toxic. 😄 The show was intentionally misleading regarding that! Holston even takes the helmet off but we all assumed it was too late by then.

Aside from the obvious analogy to social classes, I ended up not getting the lack of elevators, though. They mention in an episode it was some kind of rule set by the founders by never explain why.

@davewoodx What I loved about it is how it doesn’t feel unnecessarily market-driven cliff-hang-y. Although I want to see season 2, if I didn’t, I would consider this a satisfactory finale of an open ended story. I also liked how it proved a lot of us wrong about why people collapsed a few minutes after leaving.

@goatsarah I don't have patience to setup an instance for myself, but the big reason to be would be the 500 char limit, which is increasingly pissing me off.

@goatsarah There’s a show? I remember watching the Swedish movie long time ago and really liking it. I have it in my queue to re-watch.

@goatsarah @thelocalecho Beautiful!

@goatsarah @thelocalecho Wow! Is the illumination just sunlight? So surreal!

@goatsarah @orc @klardotsh I think Europe is very heterogenous in that regard. For example, UK has the same culture of urban parks and green spaces as here. People understand the daily contact with nature is essential. That doesn't happen in Portugal. As much as I think about coming back every day, how Portugal deals with nature is a downside for me. See the episode of asphalting the Fonte da Telha parking lot right on the beach (or having a parking lot on the beach in first place). 1/…

@klardotsh @orc @goatsarah Having lived on both sides of the pond, there’s definitely a clash on how people look at the relationship between people and nature. Here it’s more “the deer is not crossing the road, the road is crossing the forest” and there are heavy fines and prision time if people mess or even disturb wild life. So different views on the whole orca issue are expected.

@klardotsh @orc @goatsarah The association with wealth is more dubious, though. There are a lot of people here in Vancouver living in boats, or trying to, and they are not rich folks. I’m fact many do it because it’s cheaper than renting or owning property. Their biggest enemies are the marinas, which increasingly forbid living in boats that are parked there. But I’m sure they would be sympathetic with Iberian sailors and wanting a solution that protected both sides.

@goatsarah A great example of desenrascanso! But I fear it might hurt the orcas. 🙁

The only thing “unthinkable” here is building an intersection between two highways without even a traffic light, let alone a proper grade separated interchange, looking at it as a job well done, and assuming a tragedy will never happen. You only need two seconds looking at the aerial photo and a functioning brain to know this is a deadly fuckup. Sadly our elected leaders lack the latter.
