The stabbing happens about a third of the way in. The script is very clear in communicating to the audience that it was an organized assassination attempt by the left (it actually wasn't) and that the media celebrated it.

It is just wild how they portray the media as totally in the bag for the PT. The media was all on board with Dilma's impeachment and went totally along with the Lava Jato.

There is a pattern in the screenplay where every time a female character is introduced, the description tells us if she's attractive or not. Many male characters have been introduced, and these details are totally left out.

I've read this dialogue multiple times & can't make sense of it. They seem to portray Bolsonaro in 2018 as running against a sitting president who is in the PT. The PT did not control the presidency then. Also they so far only refer to the PT as "the Ruling Party" bc that sounds more sinister.

I was so distracted by the glass thing, that I failed to notice the character asked for a "cerveza" and not a "cerveja." This movie is gonna be so bad.

One of the most unbelievable scenes so far. You *always* get a glass when you buy a beer, even if it's just a plastic cup.

I haven't read many screenplays, so maybe these scenes will be better in the movie than on the page, but this looks god awful.

Bolsonaro was not arrested for "criticizing" the army. He had been planning a violent attack.

This is his second interaction with a woman. I think I sense a pattern developing.

None of this accurately describes Bolsonaro

I’m gonna need all of us “Brazilianists” who are going to have to watch this thing por dever profissional to get together for a watch party. For our own sanity and survival.

Someone check to see if there are any traces of ChatGPT in the screenplay

Flávio says there's probably more leaks, but the conversations are just about the film Dark Horse. This is basically a promise that the leaks will cover *many* more topics.

Academia and the production of scholarly knowledge is falling apart at the seams

He's doing all these illegal activities while living in the US, having fled Brazil to escape legal accountability.

Leaked messages show that Eduardo Bolsonaro had control over the financing for Dark Horse, contradicting his previous claims. Also important is that the funds are associated with a corruption scheme of historic proportions. www.intercept.com.br/2026/05/15/e...

"As long as we have this hyper-competitive, hyper-unequal rat race where people’s productivity and their worth as scientists is being measured by how many publications they put out and how many times they get cited, it’s just going to incentivize this behavior.” 💯 archive.is/202605151120...

Great essay by TMC www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/o...

Lula supports legal restrictions on the use of AI in political campaigns and media during the elections.

>Today, over 5,000 faculty across Penn State campuses, including University Park and the Commonwealth Campuses, won their faculty union, the Penn State Faculty Alliance, SEIU Local 668, with 2,510 faculty members voting Union Yes! www.pennstatefacultyalliance.org/news/2026/05...

Congratulations to our new union comrades at Penn State! Especially glad to hear the union covers temporary and part time faculty as well, to head off attempts to pit adjunct and TT against each other. www.centredaily.com/news/local/e...

Two new facts stand out: 1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!) 2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect. arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723

Especially rich given that SCOTUS just ruled that disenfranchising voters is OK if you use racial proxies

btw, regulators confirmed to us this morning that the 19 new turbines (and the 27 already on site) are not part of an air permit granted in March, meaning xAI has more than 1 GW of unpermitted gas power at Colossus 2 right now
