xkcd Aliberti Editore Zoro LolJesus.com We Are the 99 Percent 14th October 2013 Question with 172 notes Anonymous asked: How can you claim to speak for 99% of people? We don’t claim to speak for anyone, we merely present stories. 14th October 2013 Photo with 186 notes I am 23 years old I am a female (not that it should make a difference, but apparently in our society it does…) From the day I moved out of my parent’s house, I’ve supported myself 100%, not because they don’t love me but because they can’t support my dreams financially. For over two years I schlepped 2-for-1’s and shots to pay for my rent, a used car, and tuition at a community college. Now I’m attending the University of MN and I depleted all of my savings just so I wouldn’t have to take out a loan this semester. I’m majoring in journalism, a profession I consider a civic duty. I am the 99%. occupywallst.org 14th October 2013 Question with 12 notes Anonymous asked: We are the 99 percent- Why don't we RECALL these extremist NUTS that are in Washington, DC.??!!!! 9th September 2013 Thank you!

Alessandro Bottoni Wittgenstein | Piove sui giusti e sugli iniqui. E cosa c'entriamo noi nel mezzo? Giap | Il blog di Wu Ming, una comunità di lettori e non solo Finalmente è stato tradotto e pubblicato in Italia uno dei saggi più importanti e più accessibili su Lo Hobbit. Pubblicato in inglese quasi vent’anni fa, Lo Hobbit: un viaggio verso la maturità, dell’americano William H. Green è una lettura critica e approfondita del primo romanzo di J.R.R. Tolkien (ed è anche il libro che ha ispirato il laboratorio tenuto da Wu Ming 4 a Bologna nella primavera scorsa). Il saggio dimostra quanto la previsione di C.S. “Lo Hobbit, d’altra parte, risulterà divertente ai lettori più piccoli, e solo anni dopo, alla decima o dodicesima lettura, essi cominceranno a capire quale abile maestria e profonda riflessione ne abbiano fatto un qualcosa di così compiuto, così accessibile e, a modo suo, così vero. Non solo Lo Hobbit è diventato un classico, ma soprattutto è proprio vero che ogni volta che lo si rilegge ci si accorge di qualcosa di nuovo.

Economic statistics The DPRK ceased publishing economic performance statistics (Net Material Product-NMP tables) in 1967. Since then, the DPRK has released economic data only on rare occasions. Aside from the lack of availability, there are numerous other problems with using the DPRK’s economic data to obtain credible insight into the North Korean economy. As a result, governments, academic organizations, NGOs, think tanks, businesses and journalists compile estimates of North Korea’s economic performance through a variety of innovative techniques. Below I list the most frequently cited sources of North Korean economic statistics. Quick References 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Shlomi Eldar Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas gestures as he speaks in Ramallah, June 19, 2014. (photo by REUTERS/Mohamad Torokman) To stop Hamas, Israel should cut electricity and supplies to Gaza Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014 | Shlomi Eldar, Columnist If Israel still wishes to regain its deterrence vis-a-vis Hamas without entering Gaza, it will be left with one option only: shutting off Gaza electricity and closing the crossing points to the 400 daily supply trucks entering the Strip. The new Gaza state Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014 | Shlomi Eldar, Columnist Hamas soon can pride itself on imposing an agreement on Israel, which actually opens the way for a future Gaza state — when in fact it only is obtaining what was reasonable to give the Gazans many years ago. Who's responsible for what happened in Gaza? Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014 | Shlomi Eldar, Columnist Without Hamas, Israelis and Palestinians can find peace
