VIOLENT MADRID fhu

thepeoplesrecord:

Here are more incredible photos from Madrid today. The Spanish revolution is boiling over after harsh austerity measures on the working class were announced on Thursday. 

Thousands of protesters demanded fair wages, equal access to education, an immediate end to home evictions & more funding for basic healthcare services. 

Riot police responded with rubber bullets & arrested 22 people. More protests are expected to erupt for the rest of the week.

We stand with Spaniards fighting for basic human needs against a corrupt, greed-driven government!

Saturn in Blue and Gold 
Why is Saturn partly blue? The above picture of Saturn approximates what a human would see if hovering close to the giant ringed world. The above picture was taken in mid-March by the robot Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn. Here Saturn’s majestic rings appear directly only as a thin vertical line. The rings show their complex structure in the dark shadows they create on the image left. Saturn’s fountain moon Enceladus, only about 500 kilometers across, is seen as the bump in the plane of the rings. The northern hemisphere of Saturn can appear partly blue for the same reason that Earth’s skies can appear blue — molecules in the cloudless portions of both planet’s atmospheres are better at scattering blue light than red. When looking deep into Saturn’s clouds, however, the natural gold hue of Saturn’s clouds becomes dominant. It is not known why southern Saturn does not show the same blue hue — one hypothesis holds that clouds are higher there. It is also not known why Saturn’s clouds are colored gold.

4ª entrada - António Lobo Antunes em “A Morte de Carlos Gardel” pagina 285/286:

Nuno o agarrado e entrévado Nuno é o povo português, agarradinho e entrévadinho  povo lusitano, que teima em não desistir de viver, mesmo que não transpareça. O pai, o médico, a enfermeira e a tia são os sucessivos governos pós-25 de Abril 1974 que não só não acreditam na vida espantosa de cada português, como têm feito o papel de coveiros do Zé Povinho. mas como o Nuno diz: …eu sei quem eu sou… também este nosso povo sabe quem é, e mais importante, sabe quem vocês são!

Pag. 285/286 - “… e durante anos o meu pai, para mim, não era o meu pai, era uma voz que saía dos altifalantes e anulava tudo, apagava tudo, destruía tudo, uma voz que se calava e recomeçava e se calava de novo, o meu pai não era um homem e um jornal era um piano a lamentar-se que regressava agora, num murmúrio, ao apartamento junto ao rio e às máscaras sem olhos nem boca que falavam como o médico, a enfermeira e a minha tia me falam, mesmo se não é comigo que falam, ao conversarem sobre a minha doença e a minha morte, porque não é acerca de mim que conversam é de uma pessoa que conhecem e não sei quem seja, eu sei quem eu sou mas ignoro quem morre e por ignorar quem vai morrer não morro!

Anhuca (Manuel Moura os Santos)

Nariz inchado e as farripas em desordem, pijama de listras a escorregar dos ombros, com ar de desamparo dos mendigos senis; adormece a meio de matiné, detesta o circo, detesta o jardim zoológico, detesta a feira popular, detesta museus e a única frase que diz a alguém a um almoço ou jantar é: -Pega-me nesse garfo como deve ser!
