  1. "The Labour Party […] is a centralised, bureaucratic organisation that plays a key role in UK democracy whether or not the Labour Party is in government. The right [of the party] never truly ceded control over the Labour Party machine, even when Corbyn was in power. As observers from across the political spectrum have documented, key players on the Labour right worked behind the scenes to undermine him throughout his tenure."

    Burnham "has flip-flopped enough times for the Labour machine’s apparatchiks to accept he is no threat to their project.
    "Perhaps more importantly, Burnham lacks a coherent base that might hold him to account were he to tack to the right once in office. He doesn’t have strong links with the unions or any social movements. He is relatively popular among the Labour membership, but the Party has been so centralised under Starmer that members now play a much-diminished role – and Burnham is unlikely to change this.
    "In short, as with Starmer, there will be no one to challenge him if he reneges on commitments. Equally, there will be no one to defend him if the Labour machine turns on him.

    "The challenge Burnham faces is unresolvable within the current political settlement. For as long as Labour exists as a cartel, divorced from a mass base, it will remain a playground for lobbyists and consultants. These interests will fight tirelessly for their preferred policies – policies that directly contradict the interests of the majority of people in the UK. And any leader who attempts to democratise the Labour Party and take on these vested interests will be eliminated by the Labour machine.
    "The only way to square this circle is to build power outside the Labour Party".

  3. RE: zpravobot.news/@eastblocvisual

    Alt de la imagen: El planeta Tierra, visto desde el espacio, está todo negro, donde han dibujado un techo y una chimenea de la que sale humo, estilo infantil, dando la idea de que es un hogar.

    Sencillo y bonito cartel.

  5. Cartel emergente exigiendo la libertad de Jesus Plácido

    El día de hoy la Secretaría de la «Defensa» Nacional detuvo arbitrariamente a Jesús Plácido Galindo, coordinador regional del Consejo Indígena y Popular de Guerrero – Emiliano Zapata (CIPOG-EZ) y miembro del Congreso Nacional Indígena (CNI). La detención se da en el marco de una campaña de hostigamiento contra las comunidades del CIPOG-EZ por parte de los narcos de «Los Ardillos», que atacaron con drones y desplazaron a cuentos de personas. En vez de perseguir a los criminales, el gobierno persigue a los luchadores sociales.

    El cartel está realizado con GIMP e Inkscape. La fuente de nuevo es DINish, que se está volviendo una de mis fuentes de cabecera.

  7. LOLs Their "study" predicts that the price of a Big Mac will hit $9 by 2036 (?!?)
    ...I paid $13 for a #BigMac meal last weekend - not in #Manhattan but in PA - and where can you buy just a Big Mac for less than $7 right now?!?
    Oh, great conservative press machine, please stay out of touch and divorced from reality ~

  10. There are now three options:

    1) discuss with legal (but the book needs to be printed in October '26)
    2) accept the CTA as is
    3) withdraw

    There would have been time for 1) if they had sent around the CTA at the very beginning (October '25)

    So, I will withdraw the article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    And maybe publish it elsewhere (in an extended version or as blog post)

  12. That will be a first:

    I wrote a contribution to a Festschrift for the retirement of the director of our school. To be published with deGruyter. Yes, I know, I know. But we also publish our textbook with them, so, OK. And it’s OA, at least

    Last week the Contributor Terms Agreement came. WTAF! I deleted several phrases and whole paragraphs. Expecting either no reaction or forcing me to withdraw the article

  21. Ah, the utopian dream of the web, where giants like Meta, Google, and Apple hold hands to bring us "privacy" through an #advertising #cartel 🤡. #Mozilla tags along like a forgotten sidekick, ensuring we can't even choose our own fate 🔒. No consent needed, because who wants #autonomy when you can have targeted ads? 🙃

  29. "Die Experten in der EU-Kartellbehörde (Generaldirektoriat für Wettbewerb) hatten nach Informationen des Handelsblatts das Verfahren abgeschlossen und festgestellt, dass Google mit der Selbstbevorzugung in der Onlinesuche und bei seinen Google Play Stores gegen den Digital Markets Act (DMA) verstößt."

    No shit, Sherlock? Aber jetzt sabotiert
    #UrsulaVonDerLeyen offenbar die Anwendung der vorgesehenen Strafen.

    What kind of joke is this
    @EUCommission ? Also not responding to press in this matter makes for a rather poor appearance.

    And: the fact that Google Apps can not be deleted from
    #Android is a clear preference of their own apps over third party apps. Same goes for Xiaomi apps in HyperOS btw, but I am not optimistic, Xiaomi software is even part of the discussion when EU Commission is already failing to properly apply existing rules to Google 🙄
