L’artista austriaca di origine nigeriana Belinda Kazeem-Kaminski espone a Merano la sua prima personale in Italia dedicata alle vittime del sistema missionario cattolico, che dall’Ottocento in un contesto di colonialismo ha legittimato nel nome dell’evangelizzazione la deportazione di bambini dall’Africa. La mostra parte dalla storia di una bambina sudanese comprata da un prete italiano e reclusa nel convento delle orsoline di Brunico nel 1855, assieme ad altre ragazze.👇

I missionari che compravano e deportavano i bambini dall'Africa. Una mostra racconta la storia

Il pretesto con cui i missionari cattolici prelevavano forzatamente i bimbi era quello di “salvare le loro anime”. Distruggendo intere generazioni

Penguin Random House has changed the wording on its copyright pages to help protect authors’ intellectual property from being used to train LLMs and other AI tools. https://www.thebookseller.com/news/penguin-random-house-underscores-copyright-protection-in-ai-rebuff

But the devil is in the details as Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) wrote today.

"Just because you're on their side, it doesn't mean they're on your side."

In other words, PRH is going to make these AI films pay them then screw with authors. Is that simple.

Forbes Marketplace: The Parasite SEO Company Trying to Devour Its Host

Are you sick of Forbes appearing in search results? For topics that Forbes doesn’t have any expertise in? Here’s the organic rankings for “best pet insurance”: Forbes ranks #2.

Three other members of the group were killed last year in what the organization saw as retaliation.

The group had suffered threats and harassment for years amid efforts to preserve the Guapinol and San Pedro rivers, and the Carlos Escaleras nature reserve, as the presence of mining and hydro-electric companies increased.

“But unlike other Western economies, the Icelandic government let its three major banks fail and went after reckless bankers. Many senior executives have been jailed and the country's ex-prime minister Geir Haarde was also put on trial”

Ursula Le Guin: “A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.”
