PL da Dosimetria permite que condenados por coação, incêndio e outros crimes saiam antes da prisão. Proposta que beneficia julgados por golpe de Estado, mas favorece progressão de regime por outros crimes.

Right-wing lawmakers in Brazil were voting past midnight to cut down the punishment for Bolsonaro & others involved in 2023's coup attempt
A fight broke up in Congress and Meta simply shadow banned left-wing profiles on IG - including Brazil's president - so the right can dominate the conversation💀

Amanhecemos com um shadow ban generalizado contra perfis de esquerda no Instagram.
Até o perfil do presidente está inacessível.
Shadow ban é uma punição a quem não se adequa à plataforma, então o recado da Meta é bem claro: a direita é amiga, a esquerda é uma ameaça.

E enquanto isso, o congresso acaba de aprovar uma proposta que reduz a pena do Bolsonaro e seus aliados.

It's not about if Horses is good or if you like it, it's about the world we're in where a few companies have control over who gets to make money and which artists get to continue working.
Stores can stock whatever they want, but if you don't understand the broader picture you shouldn't speak.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Sem patrocínio, sem as tendas, sem comida e água, sem banheiro químico, sem exército dando cobertura, a manifestação "espontânea" não acontece.
E mal entramos no 3º dia da prisão e já não tem NINGUÉM na frente de onde Bolsonaro está preso. Bolsonaro ACABOU.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.
I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!
Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

“Mas Lula deu a lei de cotas, pôs ministro X e Y. Vcs são ingratos”
Não houve ou há “presente”. Tais políticas são resultado de lutas dos movimentos “ingratos”, legitimamente ouvidos nessas situações. Se você, de esquerda, não compreende essa ordem de coisas, vale reouvir Lula:

I think this read is the one that baffles me the most about AI-pilled execs. It’s the ultimate telling on themselves and they don’t even see it.
Every exec forcing AI on creatives is *screaming* that they just do not care about the quality of their company’s experiences.

i know theyre trying to be funny or whatever, but it's such a self-dig as well. whenever execs push AI onto their creative studios I cant help but think-- this is your standard? your standard for excellence is to drivel out the dopiest bullshit? you think this is good enough? you're fucked.

Also, you don’t always have to “understand” art. Just view it. Experience it. Explore it.
Let art meet you and move you if it happens to have that impact. If not — still an experience.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Sinceramente, chega a me dar pena o quanto eles não entendem ou não querem entender. Eles pedem feedback com relação aos termos, mas não querem ouvir, aí ficam ressentidos quando grupos *oprimidos* (com leis, com violência física) cobram medidas, porque fica "entediante" pra eles, sabe?
