Gringos may find this amusing, but, no, samba and literature are not seldomly together.

Indeed, it's very common to have samba parades about books and authors. Also, every samba writter read a lot about theirs subject to create the song and so does the samba school director.

A system built to eat people never stops eating people.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

"Ah, mas o chat é só uma ferramenta como qualquer outra"

Ledo engano. Ferramentas são utensílios que, usados da mesma maneira, levam consistentemente ao mesmo resultado.

Pode ser interessante aqui notar algumas diferenças: ferramentas são instrumentos, objetos informados para a produção de outros objetos. IA é outra coisa adiante, derivada dos aparelhos pós-industriais, que se realizam dentro do universo de seu programa e cujo produto é informação.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

Milton Cunha é soft power brasileiro para brasileiro.

Cultura, diversidade, inteligência, humor, é um artista, um comentarista, um cara diferente de verdade. Viva Milton também!

quando eu tinha mais tempo na vida pra bater boca na internet, sempre pensava nisso: não vou convencer meu interlocutor, mas tem mais gente lendo. posso nem convencer ninguém, mas lancei ali a sementinha do contraponto.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

"A Hymn to Life," published on February 17, retraces the 2024 mass-rape case that turned Pelicot, 73, into a global symbol in the fight against sexual violence — and which spurred France to revamp its rape law. 🔗 Read more: reut.rs/3OxIZz7

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

My humanities dept was relevant. Majors were up. Courses were 100% enrolled. Revenue positive, GE serving, etc etc. We were still eliminated.

The problem is ideological administrative destruction. Couldn’t write a report, a self study, or a spreadsheet against that.
'For humanities departments to continue to matter, they must challenge the modern world rather than accommodate it. Indeed, the most useful lesson the humanities have to offer today is a profoundly countercultural one: Difficulty is good, an end in its own right.' 2/2
