The Spanish right supports banning the use of burka and niqab in public spaces. The argument for the policy seems to be (partly) that it will promote the emancipation of women.
We happen to have evidence that a similar policy in France had the *opposite* effect.

Been working on this little project with @phoeberoi.bsky.social for a while now and couldn't be more excited to get it into production - a kids' history podcast by people who know history and like talking with kids about history!
I'm going to start a history podcast aimed at kids in a few months - I've heard from SO MANY parents whose children are into history but haven't found age-appropriate material, and I've had a lot of practice with my kids, so we're going to give it a shot

It is the digital age and people read reports on their computer screens. So why do researchers still use 2 column layouts for the text of the main body of their documents?

Quer entender como o governo Zema retomou o pagamento de salários e repasses ao municípios no Estado, se reelegeu com essa bandeira e agora capitaliza com grandes investimentos às custas de calote da dívida, venda de ativos e receitas de crimes socioambientais?
Isso você não lerá na grande mídia!

Gov Zema em Minas se sustentou em três pilares alheios a ele:

-Acordo do crime de Brumadinho
-Repactuação do crime de Mariana
A liminar do STF liberou em média 8 bi/ano no caixa do Estado.Permitiu pagar salários e repasses em dia

Ano passado eu fui num bloco que já tinha ido, sempre bastante tranquilo, e percebi que a nova moda da prefeitura de SP é cercar o espaço dos blocos com tapumes e gradis nas ruas que cruzam, para filtrar as entradas.
O problema, óbvio, é afunilamento nas saídas e no percurso. Ia dar merda, claro.
