Ciao, Claudia

They couldn't have dreamed of a better opposition party

Guardiola, o novo Mourinho 😬

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

WAKE UP

Must read

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

"A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Há pessoas que estão a mais na política, como bem (e infelizmente) sabemos. Carlos Moedas é uma delas.

the hurricane katrina series i co-curated at MoMA, “when the world broke open: katrina and its afterlives” continues through september 21. today at 3 pm: we are screening spike lee’s monumental “when the levees broke” IN ITS ENTIRETY (!!!) a very rare chance to see one of his best works in cinema!

"Le cinéma d’auteur est devenu un immense parc d’attractions qui ne fait que nous offrir la simulation d’une expérience de cinéma, un agrégat de références, de clignotements culturels qui renvoie à un 'savoir-faire' qui a existé mais qui n’existe plus." Murielle Joudet

Spokesman for Orson Welles' estate: "[AI] still cannot replace the creative instincts resident in the human mind, which means this effort to make Ambersons whole will be a purely mechanical exercise without any of the uniquely innovative thinking or a creative force like Welles.”

I have no printable words for this AI slop fuckery - not least because it is coming as so many archivists and restorers who have dedicated lifetimes of painstaking craft AND art to cinema are struggling to survive. #FilmSky #MovieSky #SayNoToRopoSlop www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

A pensar na primeira assistência do Luis Suárez ao Pote e como abriu espaço no último golo desde ontem. O Gyokeres era um bicho, mas temos equipa para um futebol mais bonito, não temos?

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

Exceptional place (and coffee) 💔

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Mister, sei que não gosta, mas, a não ser que se mude meia equipa, isto está montado para três centrais

The U.S. Defense Department just gave this company $200 million.

Having to hire people to be excited to meet you on the street — and then doing it poorly!! — is possibly the most Cuomo thing that has ever Cuomo’d.

I know I've been living in the US for six years now, but can someone please turn down the AC? Jesus Christ Madonna

Been talking to News12 Bronx since the 2008/2009 season.

Obrigado, presi. Venha agora o Suárez e um extremo esquerdo, de preferência um daqueles que parta a loiça toda.

Então são o quê?

the fact that you have to explicitly tell AI not to conclude that Hitler had some good ideas is kind of the whole problem with AI

Elon Musk's latest changes to Grok have made the LLM openly antisemitic.

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.
