Excellent and hard hitting Episode of the Common Weal Policy Podcast on profit extraction from Scotland. Yet another example of the fact that globalised #Capitalism benefits no one but the ultra rich.
The Common Weal Policy Podcast: Episode #209 - Profit and Politics
@thecommongreen Would one of your #Basque contacts be able to help you with an episode on it? What is the impact of Mondragon (and other workers' co-ops) on the Basque economy, and how do they compare for economic impact to #Capitalist enterprises of similar size? I cannot help but believe that #Cooperatives must benefit their home economy more, because more profit is retained locally.
Can anyone recommend a word-a-day app, website or YouTube channel for #Basque#Euskara with translations to English or Spanish? Thanks.
¿Alguien puede recomendar una app, página web o canal de Youtube de palabra al día en Basque Euskara con traducción al ingles o español? Gracias. #Bizkaia
Yo, so, I just put on this movie and then couldn't figure out what language they're speaking. Well, apparently it's a #conlang called Tola based on #Basque. I think that's pretty cool and makes sense considering the context.
Olentzero is the Christmas gift giver in the Basque regions of France and Spain. The earliest stories about him say that he was the last of the jentilak, a race of giants said to have built the region’s megalithic monuments. #FairyTaleTuesday
Digital pet-peeve - using flags to represent languages. Besides maybe a small island nation, no country in the world has just one #language. The #flag likely represents only the majoritarian or capital's language, often imposed, meaning you're erasing minority languages.
Is it possible, somehow, in #mastodon web interface to tell it that I can read multiple languages and that I would like to use the #translation services to English instead to my main language, #Basque, for which it doesn't have support?
Spain's Pedro Sanchez met with Catalan pro-independence party Junts and became the first Spanish prime minister to hold official talks with Basque separatist party EH Bildu on Friday, as the caretaker leader seeks to form a new government....
Member states of the EU have poured cold water over an ambitious request made by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Sánchez has asked that three of the country's regional languages – Catalan, Galician and Basque – be named as official EU languages. But during a ministerial meeting in Brussels, the appeal fell far short of the required unanimous support and it's unclear when the issue could be put back for discussion.
