a while ago, Bolsonaro was fearing for his imprisonment he sneaked into the Hungary Embassy near his home and spent a couple of days there hiding.
so this has sweet taste to us in Brazil.
The ICE official "noted that the case was important to someone close to the White House. The woman, Amanda Ungaro, was placed in ICE custody and ultimately deported."
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I just went to a screening of this and they didn’t mention Palantir once.
Probably a good thing my parents wanted to leave before the Q&A.
Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”
Wtf?

I once again missed the anniversary of my podcast, Fifteen Minutes of Fascism. It's been six years since I started this project. While it is sometimes hard, it's helpful to remember that none of us are alone in this fight. We can win together.

Nobody ever beheaded a tenured harvard professor. Sadly.
the andrew mountbatten stuff shows that being a tenured antiwoke professor at harvard gives you more legal privileges and protection from the law than your family being divinely anointed to rule a country as absolute monarchs for 1,000 years
Neexxtt!
“Yeni Soğuk Savaş”ı anlama, Asya’daki dengelere bakma, tarihten paçamıza yapışan eski hesapları fark etme çabasına ek olarak, genç bir akademisyenin zoru göze almasının hikâyesi olarak da okudum, biraz gözüm doldu be hocam, çok emek var 👏👏👏 @cagdasungor.bsky.social uzun lafın kısası: kitap “akıyor”

His eyes appeared to be closing, and his speech became slurred as practice continued. You could tell for a while that there was something wrong with him,” the student said. “Even me and the kids next to him were saying something wasn’t right. The student said players attempted to help their teammate up and down during the drills, believing at first he was simply exhausted in the heat. As his condition worsened, the student said Lawson tried to speak but was unable to clearly communicate. The student said Lawson eventually collapsed while standing. Trainers were called to the field and moved the teen to the side, while an ambulance was requested. During that time, the student said the rest of the team was instructed to continue practicing. We had to watch it happen while we were still doing the workout,” the student said. “We couldn’t stop.
A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout.
Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail.
After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.
