Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024.

This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.
Anvisa aprova vacina brasileira contra dengue, a 1ª do mundo em dose única.

Após 12 anos de pesquisa e cinco de testes, imunizante foi produzido pelo Instituto Butantan. Em 2024, a doença matou quase 6 mil brasileiros.

Machado is an insane character she's basically if Malala got the Nobel Prize in 2002 and it also turned out she was lying to the US so they could sell Afghan oil to Halliburton
NYT reporting that Nobel Laureate María Corina Machado lied to Trump about Maduro´s role in the drug trade to prompt a US invasion... welcome back the WMDs

just watched eddington. kinda disappointed by the sudden veer off in the plot with the false flag antifa assassins-- felt ill-considered to give that conspiracy theory breath even briefly tbh. also felt like the whole psychodrama between the mayor and sheriff was way more interesting. oh well!

By the way, this is precisely the left-wing version of Democrats courting Liz Cheney. It's trying to chase the approval of the right, making the same centrist Dem assumption that the right is secretly correct about all the "woke" stuff.

Trump: so if I recite this 'shahada' and implement a bunch of social programs, I get into heaven?

Mamdani: that's right, Mr. President

Trump: and when do I get one of those cool rugs? I always thought those looked neat. like rolling out a little red carpet for yourself every few hours

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?

Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

It’s almost as if America’s oligarchs think democracy poses a major threat to their power and hence needs to be acquired like one buys a business competitor, so as to neutralize them.

every human being carries their own ophelia machine within them, llms are designed to practically excavate them out with surgical precision.
I will say I definitely did not see this being a significant problem because I didn't imagine that a non-trivial number of people would actually believe the chatbot that notoriously validates whatever you say over their prior that they don't actually have the answers to the universe
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

this is what every conservative has wanted to replicate in the us since the new deal and what might have occurred had the business plot against roosevelt succeeded, probably enlisting the klan and silvershirts as death squads
New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

The economic sense is so extremely in favour of renewables now, Pakistan is even paying Qatar penalties to rather NOT deliver the fossil gas that Pakistan already placed orders for, because their Solar PV and batteries make much more sense.

It saves them money to cancel their gas imports and pay!
So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.

How fascinating!
