@FotosDeFatos O que acabou com o Rio foi a ideia desastrosa de JK de construir a nova capital brasileira no meio do nada sem nenhum plano de desenvolvimento ou indenização para o Rio. Um crime!

@anishmoonka Wow! What a story about vision and creativity! I also love that Adidas got ahead of that doping rumors before they even started. That’s some scenario planning!

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

@phoolonkidukaan Tem gente delirando…

Sao Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷

@rodrigoluisvelo Tomara que resgatem o resto do Centro do Rio também, inclusive os prédios antigos!

E esse prédio que tão subindo no centro do Rio, na esquina da Avenida Beira-Mar com Marechal Câmara? Eu acho que é um dos projetos mais bonitos em andamento na cidade. Vendeu tudo, 100%, antes de ficar pronto. Queria muito, não posso mentir.

@jameswebb_nasa Faltaram Carlos Chagas e Oscar Schmidt

Entre dez brasileiros(as) de reconhecimento global, qual deles melhor sintetiza a essência, ou ‘aura’, do Brasil diante do mundo?

Quando a gente diz que a Cidade Maravilhosa é única, vem o povo dizer… “a minha cidade X é muito mais bonita!” 🙄 Quero ver provar! ❤️

@itsbrunafurlan Só quem passou por isto entende o peso que um comentário imbecil como este tem. Não é pelo cachorro! É pelo fim dele! Quando tive câncer de fígado, teve gente me dizendo que a tia, a sogra, a vizinha…idem. Aí terminavam dizendo: ela morreu! Melhor ficar calado, né?

eis que você ta com câncer e seu ex (que você não mantem o minimo contato) acha de bom tom te mandar essa mensagem falando do cachorro dele

@hispanicnomad I love Bahia and Nordeste and they are the most welcoming people ever! But to say that Rio doesn’t have real carnaval? That’s not true at all.

Nordestinos (Bahia, Pernambuco, Ceará and the rest) The cultural heart of Brazil that the southeast spent decades looking down on and has been quietly copying ever since The music that the world calls "Brazilian music"? Nordestino. The food that actually has soul? Nordestino. The religious syncretism, the Afro-Brazilian culture, the real carnival? Salvador. Not Rio Warm in a way that makes cariocas look reserved. A nordestino stranger will call you "meu amor" and fix you a plate before you've sat down Historically poorer, historically looked down upon by the south. They carry that with a dignity that's hard not to respect Moving to São Paulo for work and sending money home has been the nordestino story for 50 years. That's changing

Yesterday I did a thread on Argentina's regional personalities A few Brazilians showed up in the comments like "you should do Brazil, we're WAY more diverse" Fine. Challenge accepted Let's talk about how Brazil is basically a mini world in and of itself 🇧🇷🧵

@FedericoGalavis @JakeNomada 😂😂😂

@JakeNomada Any beach in Venezuela beats any beach in Brazil every day.

Years ago, someone asked me to compare... Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷 vs. Cartagena 🇨🇴 + Santa Marta 🇨🇴 I straight up started laughing, and the guy got a bit offended Then I explained: There's nothing outside of Brazil in *ALL* of Latin America that can come close to competing with a beach city like Rio de Janeiro NOTHING

@rodrigoluisvelo @JakeNomada I love Cartagena too! And the Colombian people are amazing! Rio is way bigger and as a former capital of an European empire, there’s a lot of history, especially downtown.

@JakeNomada I'm from Rio and Cartagena was the most interesting city I've ever visited in Latam. Although Rio is much bigger, the two have a lot of similarities, and of course the Colombian people in general compared to the Brazil are indistinguishable. 🇧🇷🫶🇨🇴

@JakeNomada @rhodeislander 😂😂😂 on point!

reading comprehension is not a strong suit of this God forsaken app "deys better beaches in Caribbean" No shit sherlock and there's 14 people living in the town, not 14 million like Rio de Janeiro But alas, saying something positive about a city and letting the locals bitch about it = good impressions

@WritingLuisa @JakeNomada Jealous much… 👀 I mean no disrespect to all these beautiful places… When was the last time you visited Rio? Btw, Rio is way more than Copacabana, in case you’re wondering.

@JakeNomada There is tons....TONS...Let get me tarted: Los roques, Isla de Margarita Any beach n the caribbean sea. Rio de Janeiro beaches are OVERVALUED. Copacabana is DISGUSTING, smell likE URINE. Prove me WRONG

@SlickmediaX That’s not first class! No three seats together in first class! 😱

Good 👍 watch till the End

@JamesMartinSJ My condolences. Keeping your family in my prayers.

Please pray for the eternal rest of my mother, Eleanor Spano Martin, who died today at 94 in Abington, Pa. She had only recently developed pneumonia which quickly led to her death this afternoon. I can’t express in words what my sister and I are feeling, how grateful I am to God for her long life, how sad the last few days have been, how devastating it was to see her gasp for air this morning and how moving it was to see the hospice nurse rub her lips with a sponge, which made me cry when I thought about Jesus on the Cross. Today I want to thank my sister Carolyn for being my mom’s selfless and primary caregiver, especially after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and then dementia; for Charles for being a wonderful son in law and for Charles and Matthew for being beloved grandsons. A few days ago, I was terrified I would be stuck in California because of the blizzard, and I called my mom to tell her how I would do everything to get home and she said, through her oxygen mask, “Goody gumdrops.” I thank God I got home early this morning, that a kind Jesuit plowed the car out for me yesterday so that I could drive from New York to Philly at 2 AM, pray the Rosary next to her bed (“now and at the hour of our death”), anoint her with Lourdes water and, most of all, tried to thank her for everything she had done for me: from giving me life, to driving me to school, to teaching me to draw, to baking birthday cakes, to cooking dinners, to encouraging me in my studies, to dealing with the shock of my Jesuit vocation, to being friends with all my friends, to being the biggest fan of anything I wrote or said or did. She wasn’t perfect but she was my mom in every way. The other day the First Reading was how God’s word goes out, does its work and returns to God. I kept thinking about my mom when we read it during a Mass at a friend’s house in California, especially since I was desperate to get home. Today, I kept looking at her frail body that had been through so much in the last few years—cancer, dementia, frequent falls, stitches—and saw how spent it was after it had done what God had asked it to do Nothing I could write could describe my unbelievable sadness or my deep gratitude at being with her in her last moments, as she was with me in my first moments. It would take dozens of books. Mom, I wish you sky-blue-pink days with your beloved mother and father, your brothers Larry and Louis, my dad, and all those who loved and knew you. Please pray for me and Carolyn. Saying goodbye to you today, and hugging you goodbye, was almost impossible, but I know we will see each other in the fullness of time. Love you, Mom.

@JamesMartinSJ 🙏

Este post está perfeito! Os nossos conceitos estão completamente equivocados quando o assunto é relevância. Dra Tatiana Sampaio é e será sempre relevante.

Aquele cena que nós enche de esperança num mundo melhor com Bruno Drummond, que deixou de ser paraplégico graças ao tratamento com polilaminina desenvolvido pela cientista brasileira Tatiana Sampaio, empurrando a cadeira de rodas da ex-ginasta Laís Souza.

@xruiztru He’s getting there! 🇧🇷
