Indo pro #galeao #GIG as 18h da tarde. Completamente horrível. Trânsito travado até na faixa exclusiva, ficando parado, alguns trechos sem iluminação viária. Será que a segunda maior cidade da maior economia da América Latina consegue trazer metrô pro seu maior aeroporto?? #riodejaneiro #rj

Advertising for sports betting is huge in Brazil too. Latest ad strategy directed at women emphasizes "responsible betting strictly for entertainment" hilarious
Ubiquitous sports betting has long been a scourge of everyday UK life, with ads blanketing every football game and betting shops on every high street. The US was lucky to have largely avoided the worst of this until recently. Sad to see the research coming out now. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Had a very nice visit at USP RP last week! Great talk and discussions with faculty and students. The campus is very nice too, though it would be even nicer with a bit more consideration for the safety and comfort of pedestrians ❤️

About 100 million people are under heat alerts from Florida to Maine, and relief is not expected for several days.
Here’s a city-by-city look at how hot it will be through Wednesday.
