A young Kurdi woman #MashaAmini died in Iran to her wounds due to the beating by the Iran's moral police. Other Iranian women are showing they are done with the dictator regime and there are large demonstrations. I wish them strength and safety.

Happy #DemocracyDay! Developing democracy seems to be either about defending democracy or adding participation. We have other suggestions. Read them in detail here: untitled.community/democracy…

Theo Cox (@forlifeitself) and Prof @geoffmulgan argue that technology may have the potential to transform governance, but the example of Web 2.0 shows that this is far from certain. Ensuring fringe innovations realise their potential requires two things: untitled.community/tech-alon…
Technology can help transform governance, but this has not yet happened. Only when disasters like misinformation, democratic corrosion and tech monopolies came to be, people started to understand the need for tech to create options for the future... untitled.community/tech-alon…

As digital data is a relatively new phenomenon, it is fruitful to consider the implications of treating it as we do the more established parts of our economic and social systems, such as labour, oil, and currency. That what @ATARCA_EU asked to do at Untitled Festival 2021.
"What if we looked at data as we do at water, oil, or currency?", asked @ATARCA_EU at Untitled Festival 2021 to surface challenges and new questions about the position of data in our current economic paradigms and societies, and what it means for anti-rival economic thinking.

It's been on Bolsonaro's main agenda from the beginning, but he had been struggling to pass it. Now with the war on Ukraine, he's arguing that there'll be a shortage of fertilizers in Brazil and there's an urgency to explore Amazonian land for that. But it's just a disguise. 3/4

This is insane, maddening and saddening. Our only hope for the indigenous peoples and the planet against world's tyrants, Brazil's strong agriculture and mining lobbyists and groups in congress seems to be in the hands of these people: theguardian.com/world/2022/m… 4/4
