Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.
They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Por que é impossível clonar um mamute:
Nessa semana nós vimos uma startup com mais dinheiro que Deus e menos escrúpulos que uma certa família de milicianos prometer que vai trazer o mamute de volta. Neste fio eu quero argumentar que isso não só não é ético, como também não é nem sequer possível.

Friday: a deportation flight containing 88 Brazilians takes off from American soil. The deportees are handcuffed and bound in leg irons, as is standard practice on such flights. The Americans are flying into a trap.

I swear to God, Lula and Lewandowski have got to be laughing their asses off at the Plantalto that the result of their stunt is a Trump temper tantrum against Colombia.

Give people housing and they'll have kids!
Obtaining housing increases the average probability of having a child by 3.8% and the number of children by 3.2%.
For 20 to 25-year-olds, the corresponding effects are 32% and 33%.

Um estudo que avaliou um período de 12 anos do Bolsa Família concluiu que o risco de suicídio foi reduzido em 61%, em comparação com quem não é beneficiário do programa.
Universal Basic Income will likely significantly reduce suicide rates according to this huge study: "Those receiving [the cash] had a 61% lower risk of being a suicide victim than non-beneficiaries. The results were more pronounced among women and young individuals."

!["The results were miraculous.
'We used the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort (76,532,158 individuals) subset, linked to administrative mortality datasets in Brazil. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest cohort ever created to study health-related outcomes. We evaluated the impact of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program on suicide outcomes over a 12 year follow-up [2004-15] and observed that those receiving Bolsa Familia had a 61% lower risk of being a suicide victim than non-beneficiaries. The results were more pronounced among women and young individuals. These results demonstrate that economic interventions, such as Conditional Cash Transfers, contribute to the reduction of suicide, presumably by reducing poverty-driven hardship.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:weypikbrwodr2fsanloqjx6s/bafkreifpku2je255nrka7qe5iv5i3g2fyzba4of52acw777ypycjekd4m4@jpeg)

Usando dados públicos do INEP, DATASUS e IBGE, encontramos evidências inéditas da relação entre cobertura de creche e mortalidade infantil no Brasil.
As evidências mostram que quanto maior a cobertura de creche, menor a taxa de mortalidade.
