Det har varit en illa dold hemlighet men nu bekräftar alltså Zlatan Ibrahimovic själv sin kommande klubbadress. På samma dag som 34-åringens kontrakt med Paris Saint-Germain löper ut bekräftar anfallaren sitt val på Instagram. |
”Det är dags att världen får veta. Min nästa destination blir Manchester United”, skriver svensken. |
United överraskade |
Daily Mail uppger samtidigt att svenskens besked tog Manchester United på sängen. Detta då varken läkarundersökningen är klar eller kontraktet signerat. Något som enligt Independent dock väntas ske inom 24 timmar. Enligt The Guardian kommer kontraktet skrivas över ett år och ge Ibrahimovic en veckolön på motsvarande 2,7 miljoner kronor. |
Zlatan har ända sedan det blev klart att 34-åringen lämnar PSG placerats i Manchester United. Anfallaren kommer nu återförenas med sin gamle tränare från tiden i Inter José Mourinho. |

Inget Champions League |
Övergången innebär också att Ibrahimovic nu för första gången kommer ta steget till den engelska ligan Premier League. Zlatan har sedan tidigare spelat i Sverige, Nederländerna, Italien, Spanien och Frankrike. |
Däremot blir det inget spel i Champions League kommande säsong då United, efter en svag säsong, missade att kvalificera sig för turneringen. |
Zlatan kan spela sin första match med Manchester United den 13 augusti borta mot Bournemouth. Hemmapremiären på Old Trafford kan i sin tur som tidigast ske den 20 augusti mot Southampton. |

sharing and caring The sharing economy is bullsh!t. Here’s how we can take it back |
The sharing economy is bullshit. Airbnb is a rental broker. Uber and Lyft are unregulated cab services. Taskrabbit and similar “servant economy” enterprises let well-off people pay less well-off people to do their chores — without providing anyone the benefits and security of traditional employment. |
“Sharing” has been appropriated and stripped of all meaning by people trying to sell you things, much like sustainability was. Once “green” became hip and important about a decade ago, corporate bigwigs started preaching about sustainable profits and misleading eco-labels got slapped on single-use disposable plastic water bottles. These days, share-washing is the new greenwashing. |
A recent piece in The Nation indicted the so-called sharing economy on multiple counts: |
Of course, platforms like Airbnb and Spinlister, an app for sharing bicycles, do demonstrate something positive: People are willing to share, even with strangers. |
And sharing, real sharing, is important. Sharing more could allow humanity as a whole to consume less, hopefully shrinking our economy’s voracious appetite for materials and energy. Thus far, resource use has accelerated in tandem with economic growth. |
Sharing can help us achieve economic degrowth in consumption and production — and the wastes that come with them, like carbon emissions — while maintaining quality of life, or even improving it with more social interactions and stronger community relationships. (Watch degrowth explained with orange juice.) One reason I like the term “degrowth” is that it isn’t likely to be co-opted by profit-oriented companies anytime soon, since enterprises are mostly forced to grow or die in our fiercely competitive |
economy. |
Let’s reclaim “sharing” by contrasting the real sharing economy with the bullshit sharing economy. A real sharing entity enables a group of people to collectively create a good or service and then share the results equitably. A real sharing enterprise isn’t driven by profits for shareholders; it’s driven by sharing resources, knowledge, and decision-making responsibilities. This post introduces a series of stories about real communities creating the real sharing economy. |
On a bigger scale, sharing wealth more even-handedly is the only way to decrease the world’s enormous economic inequality. We’ve made huge gains in establishing civil rights for women, people of color, and LGBTQ communities, but we won’t achieve true social justice until the economic pie is divided up more fairly. |
And sharing power more democratically is the only way to fix our broken political system. As is, money moves resources and buys political outcomes — and it’s mostly in the hands of a few filthy-rich plutocrats. |
In fact, an organization called Share the World’s Resources recently released a report arguing that sharing can be the idea that brings together social, economic, and ecological movements in a grand alliance. Imagine Black Lives Matter, the fossil fuel divestment crusade, and the smoldering embers of Occupy joining forces to fight for a real sharing economy. |
“If you take a look at any of the serious problems we face as a society, from global climate change to pandemics to developing new energy sources, I would argue that they have to be solved cooperatively,” says Josh Farley, professor of ecological economics at the University of Vermont. “There is no competitive solution.” |
Troublingly, a grow-grow-grow economy makes us all more reliant on money. Real sharing economy projects make money less important, like the Buy Nothing groups on Facebook and tool-lending libraries that Grist already writes about. |
“What we need to do is develop models of a cooperative economy that can be scaled up to address these global problems, but we’ve got to start locally,” says Farley. “I really think we’ve got to start developing those new approaches very soon, and figure out what scales up.” |
Hence this series. These “degrowth in action” stories will explore a bike cooperative, an urban food forest, and a community solar program — all in Grist’s backyard of Seattle. |
Most people in the climate movement aren’t yet on board with the degrowth concept — that is, if they’ve even heard of degrowth — despite agreeing with many of its objections to our economic system and ideas about how to transform the world economy. Somehow, many still believe the myth that endless, exponential economic expansion is compatible with saving the climate. But if climate hawks can see real-life examples of degrowth, they might come to see its potential for creating a fairer society and cleaner |
environment. |
Barbara Muraca, a degrowth activist and environmental philosophy professor at Oregon State University, calls these sharing projects “laboratories of social innovation.” They test out new ways of living together and prove that sharing works. “People learn to live differently because they do it, not just because they think about doing it,” she says. |
Planting the seeds of a real sharing economy is no easy task. But it’s easier to share the work than go it alone. |
Anthropologist Discovers 100-Year-Old Graffiti By 'America's Most Famous Hobo' |

Susan Phillips studies and writes about graffiti as an anthropologist. In 2000, while doing research for her book, Wallbangin': Graffiti and Gangs in LA, she stumbled upon some graffiti that stunned her. |
Under a century-old bridge near the Los Angeles River, Phillips discovered what appeared to be grease-pencil markings – a practically extinct type of American hieroglyphics called hobo graffiti. |
The hobo graffiti was essentially very old examples of "so and so was here," and dated back to 1914. Much of it was signed by hobos whose monikers have long been forgotten. But Phillips says one of them — A-No. 1 — was once America's most famous hobo. |
Phillips tells NPR's Michel Martin how she came by this discovery and all about A No. 1. |
Interview Highlights |
On what she was looking for the day she made the discovery |
A group of friends and I were out exploring looking for just historical graffiti. We were looking for stuff maybe pre-1950. What we found is very understated compared to today's graffiti. We're used to thinking of it as in spray paint, really colorful. What we found was the underside of a bridge with completely undisturbed writing from 1914 to 1921 and it was the graffiti of hobos written in things like charcoal from their fires or chalk, of railroad spiked again to wall written in grease pencil. |
On how she knew it was from 1914? |
Well, back then, people used to date their graffiti. |
On what she thinks the hobos were trying to tell us with this graffiti? |
I think that most of what they're trying to say is geared toward themselves and that actually tends to be the way of graffiti, it's not as much a public proclamation as it is an internal communication system with the hobos in particular. And so, if you think about 1914, hardly anybody even had telephones so this was a way that people who were very marginal, very fragilely connected to one another, constantly getting put in jail, constantly on the run, it was a way that they had of forming community. |
On who is A No. 1? |
A-No.1. is arguably the most famous hobo in the United States. His given name is Leon Ray Livingston and he was born in 1872 and he was a lifelong wanderer. He was riding the rails, and stowing away on ships starting at the age of 11 and then he began to write about his journeys. He wrote about a dozen books on the subject. |
On the use of the word Hobo |
SP: They don't hear it anymore. People don't use the word so much anymore. People talk about it as being a post-Civil War word that means like, "ho boy." It's a very old word. |
On if the word then hobo has the same connotations ascribed to homeless people today |
Yes, I think that's the way it started, although there are always groups of people who were considered to be vagrants in the history of the United States. In the post-Civil War era, it gets to be very intense because you have this kind of uprooting that happens but you also have now established railroad tracks from the Civil War that were used to move troops that then were able to carry people to more distant places and as the railroad expands, the hobo tradition expands. |
On if the stories of hobos matter |
I think it's important to tell histories of people that are not usually part of the historical record and I happen to find that this was A No. 1 who wrote this. But by and large the work that I do is of people who are completely unknown, who really don't leave marks behind in history and the infrastructure of the city, the walls, the railroad bridges, become that history. And if you've nowhere to look for it you can greatly expand your view of what history even means and you begin to look at the city itself |
as a kind of archive. |

LUANDA (Reuters) - Angolans voted in a parliamentary election on Wednesday expected to usher in the ruling party’s defense minister as the first new leader for 38 years. |

Joao Lourenco, who has pledged to boost growth and fight corruption, would inherit an economy mired in recession as gaping inequality, soaring inflation and high unemployment squeeze poor Angolans who have benefited little from a decades-long oil boom. |
Polls closed at 6 p.m. (1700 GMT) but in some remote areas where voting started late, polling station were allowed to stay open a little longer. |
An unofficial result is expected by Friday. But there may be no formal announcement for two weeks as ballot boxes wend their way along pot-holed roads and dirt tracks in a country of 28 million spread across an area twice the size of France. |
The People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), which has ruled Angola since independence from Portugal in 1975, is expected to remain in power but with a reduced majority. |
Its support has waned due to political cronyism, though many Angolans remain loyal to the party that emerged victorious from 27 years of civil war in 2002. |
“I’ve been following the party all my life. I grew up with it,” 33-year-old bakery owner Telma Francisco told Reuters outside a polling station in the capital. |
“The other parties don’t have the capacity to govern.” |
Lourenco, a quiet 63-year-old more used to army barracks and the closed doors of party politics than the public spotlight, voted at the Luanda state university, stopping only to praise a smooth electoral process. |
Questions have been raised as to how much power he will have if he wins, given veteran leader Jose Eduardo dos Santos, 74, will continue as head of the MPLA and have potentially a sweeping say over decision-making. |
His daughter, Isabel, heads national oil producer Sonangol and his son, José Filomeno, is in charge of the $5 billion state investment fund. |
“Even if he wanted to, Lourenco may find it difficult to free himself from the control of dos Santos,” said Julia Westbury, Africa analyst at West Sands Advisory. |
“Large-scale political change is unlikely, and the long awaited democratic reforms needed to turn Angola’s struggling economy around are unlikely to materialise.” |
Lourenco has dismissed suggestions he would be a puppet president, saying he would focus on leading an “economic miracle”, possibly with the help of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and would prosecute corrupt politicians. |
“CONDITIONS TO BRING CHANGE” |
The MPLA’s main opponent is its former civil war foe, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), while young voters have been lured by CASA-CE, which was formed in 2012 on a promise to disrupt 50 years of two-party politics. |
“Today is a day of festivities, happiness, peace and of responsibility and I trust in the Angolan people that we have the conditions to bring change,” CASA-CE presidential candidate Abel Chivukuvuku said prior to casting his vote. |
Angola has been largely peaceful since the end of a Cold War-era conflict between the MPLA, backed by the Soviet Union, and UNITA, supported by the United States and South Africa. |
More than two-thirds of Angolans are below 25 so many people will be voting for the first time. |
“We’re voting for change,” said 19-year old Joao Costa, who like most people who oppose the authoritative MPLA declined to say who he voted for. |
There have been concerns about how fair the vote can be after the government cracked down on recently planned demonstrations. UNITA has said it will lead protests if it believes the MPLA has manipulated results. |
Angola’s electoral commission said the vote went smoothly. |
“It’s an example of how democratic elections should be carried out in any part of the world,” its head, Andre da Silva Neto, told reporters, adding that some hard-to-reach polling stations had opened late and some delegates from political parties had been denied initial entry to observe the vote. |
Dos Santos, Africa’s longest-ruling president behind Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang Nguema, steps down after guiding the OPEC-member from Marxism to capitalism while embracing Chinese oil-for-infrastructure investment. |

Loyalty to his party runs deep for many voters. |
“The opposition is a joke,” said out-of-work decorator Francisco, 32, declining to give his surname. |
“The MPLA is the only party that can change things and with a new candidate for president I think he can do a better job” |
It's pretty hideous. The page has the "Don't Tread On Me" flag that Tea party teabaggers like to use, and it has a wonderful Thomas Jefferson quote that domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh used. A lot of the nastiest stuff got deleted the first time around. Including a number of anti-Obama comments. |
Since when, after all, is attempting to blow up a federal office as a protest against federal policies NOT an act of domestic terrorism? |
You know, Timothy McVeigh used a "dangerous instrument" to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City. He too was angry at the federal government, and was converted to the belief that acts of violence was the only means possible to prevent the government from overwhelming our freedom and replacing it with tyranny. He also believed that his act of exemplary violence would inspire others to take up similar acts to stave off the threat of tyranny. |
And that's exactly what Joseph Andrew Stack believed too: |
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. ... I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. |
Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. |
