The new Zlatan

A message to our Swedish readers: Don’t miss the new tv series I Zlatans fotspår, in which Zlatan Ibrahimović’s former trainers put together a dream team of the best teenage football players they have found in smaller clubs. It premieres tonight at 22.30, but already now you can watch the whole programme here:
The first episode was great. I have only one concern: Where are the girls? Is it really fair to make a show like this without making sure that at least half the team members are female? I can’t wait for the first debate article on the subject.

Pirate Bay crew at Freedom not Fear demo in Berlin
September 12th, 2009, 19:30 | 5 comments
Like last year, the Freedom not Fear (Freiheit statt Angst) demonstration in Berlin attracted thousands of people (25,000 according to a press release found at Netzpolitik). Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay was there, as well as Pirate Party supporter Oscar Swartz, and Claudia Roth of the German Green Party.
A few rainbow flags could be seen in the crowd. I think the gay movement in general has missed that the privacy issues that the Pirate Parties have put on the agenda are very relevant to gay people. For example, when the Berlin gay guide Siegessäule interviewed politicians about gay issues, the focus was mostly marriage and adoption - the traditional gay issues. But those fights are won; today politicians compete in offering gay people human rights. It’s time to look upon gay politics from another angle. If gay people knew their history, they would worry about excessive surveillance laws, since gays and just about anyone with a different lifestyle are common targets in a society that aims to control its citizens. Surveillance laws will be misused, period.
Peter Sunde and Oscar Swartz.

Boy with Knapsack

Kazimir Malevich: Painterly Realism. Boy with Knapsack - Color Masses in the Fourth Dimension. (1915)
This piece of art has fascinated me ever since I found it. I find it incredibly beautiful in its extreme simpleness.
