  #Eleicoes2026 : "What do Sunday’s #elections in #Brazil, today’s election in #Israel, and next week’s #midterms in the U.S. have in common? #Fascist crime families that are not only bent on evading accountability for their crimes, but also keeping each other in power. “What’s at stake in all of these elections for these guys is whether or not they’re gonna spend their lives in #jail,” activist and author #NaomiKlein says to #MehdiHasan." https://zeteo.com/p/brazil-israel-ele...

  #Eleicoes2026 : "Uma eleição apática, com um presidente com grande rejeição, entregou o que se pode esperar desse cenário: uma vitória da oposição no primeiro turno. Mas eis que surge ela, a #democracia. O que aconteceu nas três semanas que separam o primeiro do segundo turno será estudado por décadas no mundo todo. Qualquer manual de como derrotar o #fascismo de forma democrática vai necessitar dedicar pelo menos um capítulo para outubro de 2026 no #Brasil." #PedroAbramovay...

  #Eleicoes2026 : "Ironically, in fact, #Flávio’s flight may do more to discredit his father than anything #Lula’s government could have done on its own. Jair’s political strength has always rested on the conviction among his supporters that he is an aggrieved fighter, a man willing to take on #Brazil’s institutions and pay the price for doing so. His brash adult sons have now offered a different model of leadership: denouncing political persecution and vowing to fight on, even while plot...

  #Eleicoes2026 : "É evidente que #Moraes tem contas a prestar, mas o foco sobre o Supremo Tribunal Federal numa campanha para a Presidência da República acabou por relativizar a trajetória, os projetos para o país, os negócios e os aliados do crime que o ex-candidato do PL amealhou ao longo de sua carreira. O eleitor já fez sua parte. Resta à #PolíciaFederal e ao #STF mostrar o que levou #FlávioBolsonaro a se escafeder. Se tinha pressa é por que sabe o que fez." https://valor....

  "Just under an hour after #Bolsonaro’s #proclamation was first published on social media, a corrected version was issued, altering his claimed status to “leader of #Brazil” – reportedly after he was #upbraided by Trump administration officials keen to avoid a full-blown diplomatic split with Brazil’s actual leaders. The amended letter also updated the out-of-date Brazilian coat of arms that had been used erroneously in the letterhead of the first version referring to the “United States...

  #Lula : "The result cemented the former trade union leader’s position as a global icon of the left and provided a shot in the arm for opponents of the populist right. It has also placed a #Brazil-sized obstacle in the way of #Trump’s ambition for dominance in Latin America. Ahead of the US midterm elections, some observers believe Lula’s win heralds a global shift. “ #Trumpism may be a waning influence in the world,” said Anthony Pereira, professor of LatAm studies." https:/...

  "One guy in #Sweden built a #searchengine to fight Google, and it works. It's called #MarginaliaSearch. It runs its own #crawler and builds its own #index instead of borrowing Bing's. It has no ads, no investors, and no loans. What it does differently: it ranks for text-heavy, non-commercial pages. Personal blogs. Old university pages. The weird corners SEO strangled.

  "The #deadinternettheory has floated around internet forums since the 2010s, and the idea that the internet is dominated by non-human activity was often dismissed as a fringe conspiracy. Now it has become a measurable fact. Not only do multiple cybersecurity firms agree that bots outnumber humans online, they likewise are struggling to answer when the flip happened or what metrics to use to measure it. CloudFlare, the Internet security and performance giant used by millions of websites wor...

  “#Uber has perfected a system of algorithmic pricing that allows it to dangle just enough money in front of drivers to maximize their number on the road, irrespective of how many riders are looking for cars. The fact that they have all the information (while drivers have none) allows them to extract vast amounts of totally unpaid labor from those drivers. And then, once a passenger gets in the car, Uber's informational systems let it pay that driver the absolute minimum they will accept for...

  “Rollins, now 65, was a frontman for the legendary Southern California #punkband Black Flag and later the MTV mainstay Rollins Band. Since retiring from music, he’s been a spoken word artist, radio host, actor, journalist, and TV presenter.

Their friendship is the stuff of #punk legend; they also worked at Häagen–Da...

  This is the world we're living in: #FrancescaAlbanese 'Trump’s executive order sanctioning #Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”.

And it’s a deep part of our culture, and it can be neutral or even beneficial. But we have to really be careful about #overconsuming intoxicants or consuming them too often. And I do think given this world of abundance, that we have to now intentionally seek out things that are hard. Because our live...
