Early morning
April four
Shot rings out
In the Memphis sky
Free at last
They took your life
They could not take your pride

“she flamed out and faded away” is such funny framing for a woman publishing an excerpt of her book in vanity fair, where she also works. I wish I could flame out and fade away so successfully
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.

In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

She flamed out and she faded away. 'Vanity Fair'’s West Coast Editor returns to the written word to survey scorched earth.

Riveting story from a branch of aviation gone past
Part 3 of my ongoing series about the incredible WW2 flight of the California Clipper is now up and free to read.

Imagine having to fly your aircraft on regular gasoline, which it has never used before.

Now imagine having to work out how to do that while you're flying over the vast Indian Ocean...
In 1941, Pan Am's California Clipper had to do something no commercial flight had done before: circumnavigate the world.

In Part 3 of our series looking at her journey, the crew must work out, mid-air, how to fly her on regular gasoline. Something her Wright Cyclone engines were never designed for.

E é assim, aos poucos, que criamos um futuro onde só os ricos têm direito a professores e tutores humanos, enquanto os pobres são corridos e robôs e IA. Será assim na educação, na saúde, nos lares, etc.
Como há cada vez menos professores - a profissão perdeu o seu apelo devido aos sucessivos governos que deixaram de apostar na educação - vamos lá criar um tutor IA que possa substituir os humanos. The future is so bright, we gotta wear shades.
E se cada aluno tivesse um tutor de Inteligência Artificial? Ideia foi lançada pelo Governo
A ideia do ministro Adjunto e da Reforma do Estado está longe de reunir consenso, sobretudo se pensarmos nas consequências para o desenvolvimento não só cognitivo, mas também das emoções.

Is anyone so naive to think that Gaza up to the Yellow Line isn't going to be annexed by Israel?
The genocide continues, in slower pace

Genocide: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"

"[E]ntire neighbourhoods controlled by the IDF have been levelled in less than a month"

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire
Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, the images show.

Um exemplo do desequilíbrio: pretende-se tornar uma prática ilícita imune de consequências, impondo à parte mais fraca um custo financeiro, que resulta num desincentivo.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
