Ontem eu editei essa matéria abaixo e lembrei dessa outra aqui, que publiquei em 2021 e que ainda acho muito boa www.bbc.com/portuguese/i...

X is only allowing “verified” users to create images with Grok. Experts say it represents the “monetization of abuse”—and anyone can still generate images on Grok’s app and website. www.wired.com/story/x-didn...

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

Excited to share strategies for teaching Latin America in World History! Kari Zimmerman, co-ed. of this fabulous work, chairs our 1:30 panel. I've a co-authored chapter in the book & will get to see it "live" at #AHA26 @clahistorians.bsky.social @thewha.bsky.social uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/U/Unde...

I really wish there was a way to get all these people connected, together, and back offline. I am over it.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.

You can walk from where the feds murdered Renee Good to where George Floyd called for his mother in about 15 minutes.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is shutting down, with its final edition due in May.

i suspected as a very young person and have since had repeatedly confirmed over the course of my life and career that moral courage is not a feature strongly represented at the highest levels of your average institution

I honestly don’t think there’s a single figure in American history who has fundamentally shifted the way I understand the world I live in more radically than Fred Hampton. once you know the story you can’t un-know it and you see it repeated everywhere

If you're not American and are like, wait the US bombed its own citizens in a major US city? Yes. And then some researchers thought it was a good idea to secure the remains of two of the children killed and show them off in class for funsies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MO...

I'm not saying those deaths in Venezuela don't matter. I am saying I think he's seriously overestimating the degree to which the US has normalized death period, including of even white US citizens.

Like yeah ok we talk about Kent State, we don't really talk about the Orangeburg Massacre

The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed. Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened. I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.

what people are able to do with Grok at the moment is far far far worse than putting people in bikinis www.404media.co/inside-the-t...

on the plus side, I can update my credence to being "pretty sure" that what I teach is in fact "critical race theory" bsky.app/profile/tamu...

HAHR board member Alejandro Velasco and fellow historian Miguel Tinker Salas discuss the recent US attack on Venezuela on @democracynow.org. youtu.be/r0AaAVX9h40?...

A good example of how many cultural practices, especially involving work, are rooted on the assumption that someone else will take care of the domestic duties

This may feel pretty unfair sometimes and maybe in some ways it is, but that's just how it's going to go for a while

At some point this can't all just be stuff that happens on your phone

This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

Italy in particular saw fascism and colonialism as interlinked. From the constant invocation of Libya as the "Fourth Shore" of Italy and the notion of spazio vitale being used to justify territorial expansion, Mussolini saw fascism as the way to compete with the UK and France in colonial affairs.

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

Just a reminder, because everyone seems to have forgotten: Tumblr wants to or is actively selling your data: mashable.com/article/tumb...

Hey, if you're looking for a new hobby -- especially one that's analog -- my brilliant friend @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social is hosting a learn to embroider on Zoom this weekend www.eventbrite.com/e/1977418083...

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

Poster for "Translating the Caribbean" is ready to ship. Man, I can't wait to co-teach again with bestie Glover. And we're planning to go ham on in-class translation practice. I'm smiling from ear to ear thinking about it.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

If you’re doing #Veganuary this month, or even just aiming to eat less meat, you might try plant-based alternatives. How are these made and how does chemistry improve their appearance and flavour? This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social has the answers: cen.acs.org/food/food-sc...

In a statement, the American College of Nurse-Midwives called her death a “profound failure of the systems meant to protect birthing people.” “That a Black midwife and maternal health expert died after giving birth in the United States is both heartbreaking and unacceptable.”

It's interesting seeing the people who say things like "that sounds great, sign me up" versus the people who say "uhhhh so like if Colorado is extremely dry and has no snowpack, what happens to the water?"

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, and Spain have issued a joint statement about the US's military intervention in Venezuela. elpais.com/america/2026...

contingentmagazine.org/2022/11/11/w... I took a course in archival studies for a better understanding of archival practices. It showed the importance of conversations among archivists and historians (and those whose work includes both). #history #research #archives

They're still fighting over who gets the 20th Century, and they're burning the 21st Century for fuel to do it

French Foreign Ministry: “The removal of Maduro from power and the violation of sovereignty constitute a serious act of aggression against the dignity of the Venezuelan people and their right to determine their own future.

I worry about people in Venezuela, and about what it means for all of us for the world’s largest military power to go fully rogue

uh holy SHIT?

There is so much that is aesthetically Obama-esque about Mamdani and his successful campaign, but a key difference: Mamdani closes his speech by promising that our movement will continue into his governance. When Obama took office, he purposely closed down his movement.

Me and my policy friends acting like the arsenio audience after this line

LOLOLOL Jadakiss.

Brazil has been up and down this NYC Mayor Inauguration! From "ninguém solta a mão de ninguém" to the mention of picanha lol
