Taiwan’s chip plants run on migrant workers. Job brokers run their lives
In Taiwan’s AI-fueled chip boom, brokers control everything from paychecks to dorm beds, leaving workers feeling trapped and exploited.
"Migrant workers coming to Taiwan are assigned a broker before they arrive. The brokers have incredible sway over the workers’ lives. They manage their paperwork, accommodation, meals, transport, insurance, and other aspects."

Some classical Chinese ghost stories have been well-loved by English readers, despite the orientalist perspectives that accompanied their 19th century translations, so I was glad to be asked to introduce this classic collection, and in a way, culturally reclaim these works of Chinese literature. 4/

Gabriele Nunziati, cronista a Bruxelles, ha perso il lavoro per una domanda su Israele. La portavoce della Commissione l’aveva definita «interessante». L’agenzia Nova l’ha giudicata «sbagliata» e ha interrotto la collaborazione.
Fare domande oggi è rischio.

Pier Paolo Pasolini: cinquant'anni oltre il sogno e il sangue
Il 2 novembre 1975, sulla spiaggia dell'Idroscalo di Ostia, il corpo di Pier Paolo Pasolini trovò la sua fine terrena. Oggi, a cinquant'anni da quella
50 anni dopo: Pier Paolo Pasolini è un profeta.
La sua denuncia contro l'omologazione consumistica e la profezia di "Io So" sono l'antidoto necessario al nostro Presentismo digitale. La sua voce è più attuale che mai.
L'analisi urgente di ciò che ha lasciato

Painting view of Piazza San Marco showing corner of Loggetta and facing away from Basilica San Marco towards church of San Geminiano with white stone facade, classicizing.
Aerial shot of Piazza San Marco showing facade of the now Museo Correr, Napoleonic ballroom.
Photograph interior of ballroom, cream colored, ceiling paintings, stone floor, empty and lifeless just like Napoleon
Venice used to have a second church on Piazza San Marco: S. Geminiano designed by Sansovino you can see in this Canaletto painting. It was kind of a big deal; shows up in a ton of artwork. It was destroyed by Napoleon — to build a ballroom.
Napoleon occupied Venice 1806-1814, eight years.

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"
Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
