The London Riots – On Consumerism coming Home to Roost

Amplify’d from www.social-europe.eu

By Zygmunt Bauman

The objects of desire, whose absence is most violently resented, are nowadays many and varied – and their numbers, as well as the temptation to have them, grow by the day. And so grows the wrath, humiliation, spite and grudge aroused by not having them – as well as the urge to destroy what have you can’t. Looting shops and setting them on fire derive from the same impulsion and gratify the same longing.

We are all consumers now, consumers first and foremost, consumers by right and by duty. The day after the 11/9 outrage George W. Bush, when calling Americans to get over the trauma and go back to normal, found no better words than “go back shopping”. It is the level of our shopping activity and the ease with which we dispose of one object of consumption in order to replace it with a “new and improved” one which serves us as the prime measure of our social standing and the score in the life-success competition.

Ouvindo REM & Patti Smith: Blue

Breathing with you. Touch. Change. Shift. Allow air. Window open. Drift. Drift away. Into now.



I want Whitman proud. Patti Lee proud. My brothers proud. My sisters proud. I want me. I want it all. I want sensational. Irresistible.



This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive.

Babylon Burning: 10 Riot Songs - A trilha sonora dos quebraquebras ingleses

Amplify’d from globalspin.blogs.time.com

London's streets have burned before, and not only during the Great Fire of 1666 or the Luftwaffe's 1940 "Blitz". The late 1970s saw England's economy mired in recession, mass unemployment leaving youth alienated, angry and without hope. The streets burned with a continuous series of clashes between angry young people and authorities, playing out conflicts over racism and class inequality that lasted well in the mid-1980s. The drama and violence of those clashes also proved to be a cauldron of creativity, producing some of Britain's most memorable music of the same era. Herewith, a personal playlist

Pra quem acha que xadrez é um jogo careta

Marijuana-themed chess board

An amusing weed-themed chess set with 32 pieces in the shapes of bongs, bowls, joints and pot leaves. I’ve never played chess a day in my life, but “weed chess” seems like it could be more entertaining. Smoke a bowl every time a piece gets taken? A joint for checkmate?

Real Madrid Signs 7-Year-Old Soccer Phenom

Amplify’d from www.theroot.com

Wow. Little Leo must be something special if this type of success is happening to him at such a young age. While he'll play in a youth league and will then go to the big club if he's good enough, he is sure to face some grown-up issues. Let's hope it turns out as well for him as it did for Messi, who went on to win two World Player of the Year awards.

While we wish Coira success, we can only imagine the tough time he will have adjusting socially. Hopefully he'll get the same type of guidance off of the field that he will get on the field so that he can stay on track in his personal and professional life. Read more at www.theroot.com

Asterix books contain 704 victims of brain injury, study finds

Amplify’d from m.guardian.co.uk

A paper published in the European Journal of Neurosurgery, Acta Neurochirurgica, examines the much-loved books in detail, discovering that of the 704 victims, 698 were male and 63.9% were Roman. One hundred and twenty were Gauls, 59 were bandits or pirates, 20 were Goths, 14 were Normans, eight were Vikings, five were Britons and four were extraterrestrials.

Using signs such as "raccoon eyes" – periorbital ecchymoses – or an "outstretched and sideward-pointing tongue" (paresis of the hypoglossal nerve) to identify traumatic brain injury, and ranking the seriousness of the injuries on the standard Glasgow coma scale, they found that in 696 cases the damage was caused by blunt force, while strangulation led to eight cases of head injury.

The paper concludes, in admirably deadpan fashion, that "the favourable outcome ... is astonishing, since outcome of traumatic brain injuries in the ancient world is believed to have been worse than today and also since no diagnostic or therapeutic procedures were performed".

Traumas cerebrais nos quadrinhos: Em Asterix foram 704

Amplify’d from www.aarffsa.com.br

Segundo pesquisa de Marcel Kamp e equipe, da Universidade de Heinrich Heine, foram contabilizadas 704 vítimas de traumas na cabeça nos 34 livros da coleção. Destas, 698 eram homens, sendo 63,9% romanos, enquanto 120 eram os próprios gauleses — na maioria das vezes o bardo Chatotorix.

Tendo como base sinais como olhos roxos (equimoses periorbitais) e “línguas tortas para fora da boca” (paralisia do nervo hipoglosso), os pesquisadores também classificaram a seriedade dos ferimentos. Assim, 390 foram avaliados como traumas severos, 89 como traumas moderados e 225 como traumas leves. Para felicidade dos legionários romanos dos campos fortificados de Babaorum, Aquarium, Laudanum e Petibonum, porém, não foi registrado nenhum caso em que as pancadas tenham deixado danos permanentes ou levado à morte.

London riots: Burning down the house

Amplify’d from www.slate.com

"Social exclusion" is a real problem, but it doesn't excuse the looting and lawlessness on the streets of London.

The ostensible cause of the riots was last Thursday's shooting of Tottenham resident Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four, in circumstances that the London Metropolitan Police can't seem to explain. A thorough investigation is pending. But if this is the Amadou Diallo moment for Blighty, then why are minorities and the working class the principal victims of "socially excluded" aggression?

É a minha missão poética, diz Invader sobre intervenções em SP

Amplify’d from www1.folha.uol.com.br

O processo é sempre o mesmo. Sob o codinome Invader e com uma coleção de azulejos na mala, ele estuda o mapa da cidade, compra cimento na loja de construção mais próxima e espera a noite chegar para cobrir muros e viadutos com mosaicos em forma de "space invaders", personagens do videogame homônimo do final dos anos 70.

Num caderno de bolso, ele anota endereço e número de azulejos utilizados. Depois, sob a luz do dia, fotografa cada "invasor" como uma sentinela da cidade. As informações são armazenadas numa base de dados e transformadas em mapa, que é impresso e distribuído.

"Quero surpreender as pessoas e criar alternativas às placas de trânsito e à publicidade. É como um videogame urbano", diz. "Nas ruas, a arte pode chegar a todos, do presidente ao morador de rua. Num museu, não atinge 10% da população local." Read more at www1.folha.uol.com.br
