Cuando se le preguntó a Charlton Brooker la razón de cancerlar la serie Black Mirror su respuesta pudo sonar grandilocuente . A mi me encantó y me deprimió a partes iguales.

"Influido por Huxley o Orwell, quise crear una corriente de opinión y reflexión a través de una serie, pero esta, lejos de producir un cambio, solo consiguió normalizar la distopía, que ya vivimos, o el futuro apocalipsis, para transformarlas en un producto cultural".
"Mi alianza con Netflix fue la puntilla de Black Mirror y acabé tan desazonado que decidí no volver a creer en que las cosas pueden cambiarse desde dentro".
1/13. As a journalist of color who worked for @AP for almost 30 years as a reporter & manager, I’ve been troubled by what happened with Emily Wilder. There’s a lot I could say about this incident (and some things I have already said), but here my goal is something else:
2. I’m issuing a challenge to my old shop and other outlets to begin taking some actual steps to address the root of the problem: Social media policies – how they're written & by whom, how they're governed, how they're applied & patrolled, & how violations are punished ...
3. go to the very heart of issues surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion & IDENTITY in the newsroom. These policies inherently single out journalists of color or those with distinct lived experiences – those very qualities that make these individuals and their voices vital
Trump is a psychopathic criminal cult leader in league with foreign powers and money lenders, backed by a corrupt, compromised party and a propaganda media network. If unstopped, he will criminalize dissent and embrace authoritarianism.

To truly understand Trump and the danger he represents, we need to first diagnose his psychiatric condition. He's not just a narcissist. As @DutytoInform explains, he's a psychopath: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/diagnosis-ps… (2/9)
Trump is also, undoubtedly, a criminal. Setting aside Mueller and impeachment, here's a list of 10 known crimes--from sexual assault to racial discrimination to tax fraud to money laundering--that we know he committed even BEFORE he became President: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-crimes-o… (3/9)
Her er Anna Libaks leder om #BlackLivesMatters i denne uges WA. Jeg går ud fra, at lederen er udtryk for Libaks oprigtige bekymring over udviklingen i USA lige nu. Samtidigt er lederen dog opinionsstof og dermed egnet til at tiltrække læsere ved at generere debat og konflikt.
Jeg er (beklager @HrAndersColding - du må hellere mute mig resten af dagen) en af dem, der gerne tager Libaks leder op til debat. Dels fordi jeg er grundlæggende uenig med en række af hendes synspunkter; dels fordi lederen giver anledning til en række kritiske kommentarer.
Så lad os begynde. Her er det indledende afsnit i Libaks leder. Bemærk rammesætningen: Drabet på George Floyd har givet anledning til VOLDELIGE protestdemonstrationer i USA. Libak undlader dermed behændigt at nævne, at langt de fleste demonstrationer har været fredelige.

Former mayor Alan Givan says BLM is Marxist and "anti-family": It doesn’t matter whether you're black, white or yellow or red or whatever ... and the quantity of melanin in our bodies has no bearing on how precious any individual is."

Horrifying for #BlackLivesMatters protesters in Whitestone, #Queens. Man tried to run them over on Tuesday, it’s caught on video. 54-yr-old Frank Cavalluzzi arrested. He had blades on his arm. Charged with Reckless Endangerment, Menacing, Weapon Possession. Video from @siburpunk
Thread & Update: @QueensDAKatz says defendant is now charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, menacing and other crimes. District Attorney Katz said, “In a burst of anger and rage, this defendant allegedly sought to kill protesters who were peacefully assembled ...
... and exercising their right to free speech. No one at any time should infringe upon another’s Constitutionally-protected freedoms and doing so with the intent to injure and maim is criminal.”
George Junius Stinney, Jr. of African descent was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the 20th century in the United States.
He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an electric chair.
During his trial, even on the day of his execution,
He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an electric chair.
During his trial, even on the day of his execution,
he always carried a Bible in his hands, claiming to be innocent.
He was accused of killing two white girls, 11-Year-old Betty, and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents.
At that time, all members of the jury were white.

The trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was dictated 10 minutes later.
The Boy's parents were threatened, and prevented from being present in the courtroom, and subsequently expelled from that city.
Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able

Standing by for a press confeeence with @MayorHancock and Chief Pazen about another night of violence in Denver. @KDVR
Chief Pazen starts by thanking everyone who stayed peaceful and tried to preserve properly last night. @KDVR
Chief Pazen says they’ve located a vehicle of interest in a crash that sent three officers to the hospital and are actively investigating. @KDVR
I stayed up all night racking my brain about how to prevent this tragedy from ever happening again. We have to change the culture of the LEO community. One that believes in service, sacrifice, and humility. You have to suffer.
The only place that you can create this culture is through training. At every step of the way to the badge and the right to keep wearing one.
You have to sweat. You have to bleed. You have to fail. You have to work. You have to sacrifice. It is a forging fire. #GeorgeFloyd #GeorgeFloydProtests #InThisTogether2020 #InThisTogether #community #BuildBackBetter #BlackLivesMatters #ThinBlueLine

Feel free to use this image, I don't need credit. I want justice for George Floyd, I want justice for all black lives we lost and those we are still losing today.

This thread is a very thorough source on the history of race violence in america. Please take a moment to read:
Je sais pas si c'est la fatigue qui parle, mais des fois, c'est compliqué lors de directs impliquant autant de politique que #LaunchAmerica de rester neutre. Particulièrement depuis quelques jours. Et bien qu'on se contente de dire à l'antenne "la culture US est différente" 1/n
ça n'excuse en rien la politique menée par l'administration américaine, particulièrement ces dernières années. On pourrait se dire "ouais mais tu commentes du spatial, donc osef", sauf que non, c'est extrêmement lié, et à l'approche des présidentielles, ça l'est encore plus 2/n
On voit les républicains célébrer la grandeur de leur Amérique tandis qu'une capsule américaine avec à bord des américains s'élance du sol américain, tandis qu'une partie de leurs citoyens souffre énormément, et ce depuis beaucoup trop longtemps. 3/n

For years, with every horrific murder of an innocent black man, woman, or child, I have always tried to find the right words to express my condolences and outrage
But the privilege I am afforded by the color of my skin has often left me feeling like this is not a fight that I can truly take on as my own. Not today, not anymore. Like so many of you, I am angry. I am more than angry. I am infuriated and I am disgusted.
I am exhausted by the heartbreak I feel seeing mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children suffering because their loved one was murdered or locked away unjustly for being black.
I believe this was a setup! Those bricks are up the street from some very expensive shops in Downtown Dallas!

Looking at the horrific and devastating scenes in America, it puts into perspective the relative farce of the week-long coverage of a man driving to a castle.
I would say I’m thankful to be living in the farce at the moment but we’re all part of a global community. It’s clear that some people in power have used a pandemic to believe they can control people in a stronger way than ever.
It’s probably a terrible inevitability. Just a few weeks ago I was feeling inspired by a sense of community that seemed to be emerging from this worldwide shared experience.
Why are we still debating on whether/not West Papuans are black? Is this really the right time to fuss about terms? Using #BlackLivesMatters as a political momentum to speak out about their issues will neither distract them from their respective issues nor will it alienate them.
Yes they have different struggles and contexts, yes one may be North America and another is Southeast Asia, but do you really wanna be talking about anthropological nomenclature at a time like this?
I think it’s very arrogant for us ‘mongoloids’ to decide what is effective or not for people we don’t represent. Well-meaning ‘liberals’ are criticizing those who stand with the West Papuans when that fervor should really be saved for oppressors of Papuans.
Sorry niche SEO fans. Rants will pause today. #BlackLivesMatters
Rants will pause indefinitely. Please give space for the voices that have to be heard. I am rooting for a kinder, gentler world.

The officer still made no
move of his leg on my neck
Slammed to the ground,
Blood from my nose
And all I could do was
whisper: "I cant breathe"
Was it cause I wrote a bad check
Or was it cause of my race?
Wasnt I cooperative?
