Starving #piglet rescued from Danish #art exhibit

#Benjamin is among three other #piglets #rescued after being left to #starve in a #Danish art exhibition by Chilean artist Marco Evaristti.

The piece was designed to protest #Denmark’s pork industry. But come on, that is not okay.

A member of the artist’s team coordinated with an animal rights group to rescue them.

I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, mostly in Brittany, now retired from University - continue independant and free research, speaking three languages, even if English isn't my most spontaneous tongue, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are mostly Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods.
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.

following the news that @Gargron is placing Mastodon’s infrastructural core in the hands of a nonprofit: I’ve been thinking that the #FrankfurtSchool folk most relevant now are #Benjamin (machinic reproduction>machinic societies/fascism; the angel of history) and #Adorno (the dialectic of enlightenment; “reality is becoming indistinguishable from the movies”; resistant intellectuals as “salaried nuisances”.) But we really need to add #Habermas, from the second generation. 1/x

I will observe, but not comment further, on the ironic juxtaposition of #WalterBenjamin's name being right next to a private bank (any bank for that matter). That said, I was very happy to see #Benjamin's name several times while I had the good fortune to be in #Paris. Not only this street sign but in the #Museum of #Decorative #Arts, which had an exhibition about the birth of the #departmentstore, his words about #fetishism & the #flaneur were present.

It's the most-dangerous moment in geopolitics since the dawn of the #Ukraine #war

#US President Joe #Biden told #Israeli prime minister #Benjamin #Netanyahu during a call today that the US will oppose any Israeli direct #counterattack against Iran, according to an Axios report that cited a 'senior White House official.'

Two things:

1) If the US doesn't want a war, this makes sense. Aside from #oil prices, I can see plenty of reasons that Biden wouldn't want this war now.

2) Could this be a smokescreen? Things like this don't 'leak' out of the White House. This would be some of the most-highly classified information on the planet. So was it leaked to pressure Israel? To lower expectations of the US actually getting involved? Or is it a fake to get Iran to let its guard down?

The answer to that might have to do with what was said behind closed doors when Iran briefed the US, Italy and a number of other countries before its response.
