This is @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social response to Trump's statement

"Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage."
Lula statement (Twitter): "In light of the public statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump on social media on the afternoon of Wednesday (9), it is important to highlight the following: Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage. The judicial proceedings against those responsible for planning the coup d'état fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of Brazil´s Judicial Branch and, as such, are not subject to any interference or threats that could compromise the independence of national institutions. In the context of digital platforms, Brazilian society rejects hateful content, racism, child pornography, scams, fraud, and speeches against human rights and democratic freedom. In Brazil, freedom of expression must not be confused with aggression or violent practices. All companies—whether domestic or foreign—must comply with Brazilian law in order to operate within our territory. The claim regarding a U.S. trade deficit in its commercial relationship with Brazil is inaccurate. Statistics from the U.S. government itself show a surplus of $410 billion in the trade of goods and services with Brazil over the past 15 years. Therefore, any unilateral tariff increases will be addressed in accordance with Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law. Sovereignty, respect and the unwavering defense of the interests of the Brazilian people are the values that guide our relationship with the world"

"Capitalism reduces forests to junk mail and ecosystems to ash. A rally for the stock market means hurricanes and heat waves for us. Species by species, continent by continent, it is turning the whole world into a graveyard"

"Capitalism thrives on death"

crimethinc.com/posters/capi...
Poster with the text: Capitalism thrives on death Death to Capitalism A human skull with the following text: The market takes life and leaves destruction in its wake. It forces you to sell away the irreplaceable hours of your life to enrich bosses and bureaucrats—death on the installment plan. It rewards landlords for evicting families, engineers for inventing war machines, politicians for gentrification and genocide. Capitalism reduces forests to junk mail and ecosystems to ash. A rally for the stock market means hurricanes and heat waves for us. Species by species, continent by continent, it is turning the whole world into a graveyard. If we don’t abolish it, it will destroy everything we love. This is a clear-cut case of self-defense.

The Irrefutability of Anarchism
by Richard Routley and Val Routley
SOCIAL ALTERNATIVES Vol. 2 No. 3. 1982
12. APPLYING THE FOREST SUCCESSION MODEL. How to apply the model is not difficult to see in broad outline, and many of the further details have been filled out by work that can be described as indicating how allegiance can be shifted in practice from where we mostly are to alternative social arrangments and lifestyles built on self-management and mutual aid.^^ The seeds of anarchism should be broadcast or planted, anarchist (non-Statist) arrangements instituted or strengthened, and efforts made to replace or modify vulnerable Statist arrangments, e.g. by democratization of present institutions and development of nonstatist und noncapitalist alternatives. Some of the practices are familiar: anarchist groups, clubs, pamphlets, broadcasts, newsletters, etc.; (anarchist) cooperatives, exchanges, neighbourhood groups, rural communities, etc. Others are slightly less familiar: avoidance of State infiuence by arrangements beyond State reach such as costless (or alternative currency) interchanges of goods and services, action directed at removing decision-making from State departments, such as forest services, and into citizen hands, and ultimately, to decentralized local communities. In this sort of way, worthwhile State arrangements can be replaced, and power can be progressively transferred from the State, and retumed to the community and to people more directly involved.

Bioluminescence is everywhere. It is usually a proxy of healthy environments (rare today)

When I worked in the Indian Ocean, sampling deep sea zooplankton, It was common to see a diversity of glowing copepods (and other species), showing different colours and blinking patterns. It was mesmerising

Woman: Dad, are you a utilitarian? Man: Am I a what? Woman: Whatever you want to call it... hedonistic consequentialist. Man: Just because I have a tatoo of a trolley doesn't mean I'm uted up. Look, lots of people have books by Peter Singer. That doesn't mean they are utilitarians. It's a stereotype and it's offensive! Woman: [gives the man the side-eye]

Australia Day is celebrated in the same day it was colonised by the British.
Australia has rejected the proposal to amend the Constitution to recognise First Nations people and create a body for them to advise the government.
26 January is a day to remember:
