Point, the.

Great analysis on the discrepancies between US and Europe’s media and tech platform connivance.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint www.wsj.com/business/med...

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

Ok, four episodes in and Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is better than all of House of the Dragon and on par with early GoT. Let alone truer to source material than both.

Widespread gambling is a disgrace

At the War On Cars show last night, @shawnmicallef.bsky.social said that bike delivery riders have brought a critical mass of cyclists to Toronto. It's true: they are the ones out there navigating the roads year-round, in all weather. They are cyclists and they deserve support and safety.

A fittingly Torontonian night having @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social share @thewaroncars.bsky.social’s origin story with amazing guests like @bronwynroe.bsky.social, @shawnmicallef.bsky.social and @andrewlewisfc.bsky.social.

A sensação de estar numa rede sem relevância para o mercado publicitário:

Using tech to manufacture BS anti-vax claims

Os caras querem proibir criança em bloco de carnaval, acompanhadas pelos pais e responsaveis, mas se falar em criar limites pra crianças em redes sociais eles surtam. No mais, esse é o tipo de pauta que eles inventam pra ter visibilidade quando não tem mais o que fazer.

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."

New NHTSA crash data, combined with Tesla’s new disclosure of robotaxi mileage, reveals Tesla’s autonomous vehicles are crashing at a rate much higher than human drivers, and that’s with a safety monitor in every car. Tesla has reported 9 crashes involving its robotaxi fleet in Austin, TX. /1

Fantastic piece on mainstream media unwillingness to state the plain truth when it concerns to right wing efforts to dismantle democracy. Applies to other contexts besides the US (seems to me).

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

I realized today that I love going outside on snowstorms because less people drive in these conditions. Walking around is peaceful, ie, less noise and less danger (mindful of the snow) 😅

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

The best take on One Battle After Another I’ve seen.

"We are totally aligned on bombing brown people, let's just keep doing that"

O viralatismo do jornalismo brasileiro: Lula tinha que ceder a Trump, a Europa tem que enfrentá-lo. E, em nenhum dos casos, é para o bem das pessoas, mas para barrar China e Rússia.

Trouxe as cadeiras latino-americanas pra gente acompanhar o chapisco

In cities everywhere.

ora ora ora se não são as consequências das minhas escolhas

So someone with inside information on government policy decisions is personally involved with platforms that allow people to bet on government policy decisions? The corruption is endless. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Então, o dinheiro do petróleo venezuelano cai numa conta offshore sediada no Catar. Imagina se isso não é corrupção. 🫠

Toronto is proposing $132.5M over 10 years for cycling infrastructure. That's down from $175M in last year's budget and $289M (!!) in 2024. Meanwhile Montreal is planning to spend $473.5M. Cities make choices.

"ah porque o empresário que se beneficiou da ditadura é muito caricato no filme" verdade pois o Brasil da vida real é amplamente conhecido como o país da nuance e da sutileza, em PARTICULAR no que diz respeito à ditadura militar

Brasil leva dois Globos de Ouro / Amanhã é segunda

“O Agente Secreto é um filme sobre memória, a falta de memória e o trauma geracional. Acredito que se o trauma pode passar de geração em gerações, os valores também podem. Viva o Brasil, viva a cultura brasileira” — Wagner Moura recebendo o #GoldenGlobes

Por favor, Xands. Autoriza o Jair a ler e torna as resenhas dele públicas. Nunca pedi nada (esse ano

Clube do livro do Biroliro. Quem vai?

Europeus e estadunidenses discutem sobre qual polícia é mais violenta, mas ambos aplaudem quando seus soldados chacinam 80 pessoas na América Latina, bombardeiam uma capital, sequestram o presidente e estabelecem uma nova colônia.

A reação europeia segue a mesma lógica. Cagaram pra Venezuela, estão surtados com a Groenlândia. Não só pq a Groenlândia é território europeu da Otan, diferente da Venezuela, mas pq seria um ataque ao pacto racista do ocidente.

"Western ‘values’ (as opposed to power) have never had the sort of credibility across much of the world that Western politicians seem to think they have, and those outside the Western bubble who are critical of its hypocrisy now have yet another example to help them make their case."

A country bigger than France and with around 30 mi people is seen as America’s backyard by hegemonic media.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Mais um dia cafona né meninas

Please remember that as this happens, women are also being stripped of the right to control their own bodies, young women are being pushed into tradwife bullshit, and a new generation of conservative men increasingly argue that women shouldn’t even have the right to vote bsky.app/profile/mhar...

pelo amor de deus

so what do you think ChatGPT will say when ten million people ask it who they should vote for next year

The richest man on earth, the richest man in human history, personally obliterated the US agency that had been preventing these horrors. He sneered that he had to miss some good parties in order to spend his weekend erasing the agency these people had depended on. Inhuman.

This Brazilian woman hates AI

Gente, a vida é curta demais pra dar atenção a editorial do Estadão e coluna da Malu Gaspar no dia de Natal. Vamos nos proibir um pouco. E Feliz Natal!
