Um gigante de uma era que não voltará mais: a era do cartum político.

Mais uma vez, a população de São Paulo sofre as consequências dos problemas envolvendo a Sabesp, após o desmonte de parte importante de sua capacidade técnica e de suas expertises, intensificado pelo processo de privatização. Em Osasco, uma cratera se abriu durante uma obra de esgoto da empresa, na Rua Cuiabá, no bairro Rochdale. Três imóveis foram interditados e nove pessoas, entre elas duas crianças, precisaram deixar suas casas. Nos últimos meses, São Paulo tem acumulado episódios preocupantes relacionados à operação da companhia. Em Guarulhos, o rompimento de uma adutora deixou 71 bairros sem abastecimento de água e afetou milhares de moradores. Também houve a abertura de uma cratera na Marginal Tietê em razão de problemas em uma estrutura de esgoto, além de outras ocorrências que reforçam a necessidade de mais planejamento, fiscalização e capacidade técnica. Esses episódios acendem um alerta sobre a gestão da Sabesp após a privatização conduzida pelo governador Tarcísio de Freitas. Segundo o ONDAS, cerca de 5.800 trabalhadores deixaram a empresa após a desestatização — quase metade do quadro de pessoal existente em 2022 — sem reposição equivalente de profissionais qualificados. Ao mesmo tempo, cresceram as reclamações dos consumidores, e a Sabesp passou a liderar o ranking de reclamações do Procon-SP em 2025. Na prática, a água ficou mais cara e a qualidade do serviço piorou. Água e saneamento são direitos fundamentais. Não podem ser tratados apenas como um negócio. É dever do poder público assegurar um serviço de qualidade, seguro, eficiente e comprometido com o interesse da população. Minha solidariedade às famílias atingidas em Osasco. Que os danos sejam reparados e que as responsabilidades por mais esse episódio sejam rigorosamente apuradas.

Utterly shocking but not a surprise. Impunity breeds hubris. All states and people who care for Freedom must rise up in defense of the ICC and int'l justice now, before it's too late. It's rule of law or barbarism.

They shot him, dragged his lifeless body onto the pavement, and handcuffed his corpse while his 3-year old daughter wearing Bluey pajamas watched in horror. If you say you voted for this you are an empty soulless vessel.

Sam Neill, "One of the secrets of life is to take what you do seriously. But never, never, take yourself seriously, and I never have" May you step into the next life with the same excitement and wonder that we all experienced when you first saw dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. RIP 🙏

Ilonka Karasz was born on this day, July 13, in 1896. A decade after emigrating from Hungary to the United States, she illustrated her first New Yorker cover. Over the next fifty years, she illustrated one hundred eighty-five more.

Morreu vira santo? Nada feito.

RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026) I Just heard the news of Sam Neill's passing. He was an exceptionally gifted & versatile actor who starred in many great movies. His acting in "Possession" (1981) alongside Isabelle Adjani will always remain one of the greatest horror performances of all time. I can't think of any other actor who could have pulled off this mad movie convincingly; especially with Żuławski at the helm. "Possession" was also his personal favourite among his works.

R.I.P Sam Neill (1947–2026).

Actor Sam Neill was asked what was the greatest lesson he learned from his parents. He recalled his mother’s simple but profound advice: “Sometimes you just have to pull yourself together. It’s a tough lesson, but it’s a good one.” Wise words from a man who lived his life with grace and dignity. Rest in peace, Sam Neill.

Sam tá ótimo. Assista!

RIP Sam Neill In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

E adivinha quem denunciou? Um grande interessado na dominação neopentecostal dos Conselhos Tutelares.

I met him once boarding a plane. We were stuck in line and i was like "ok..say something..fk do it.. do it...do it" in my head.. He turns once glances at me... smiles and nods... like "yeah i know you know who i am.." and i just go quiet...then he glances back and just says "ask away..." I did the usual "omfg love your work blah blah" and then he asked what I did and then just went into this rathole of how tech and creativity fascinate him and how people do things with computers and then we ended up talking about sheep properties and my life living in the outback... then he splintered off to his seat and mine.. Then we get to our destination, I get off and my wife is waiting for me with the kids and he gets off after me as he was ambushed with people wanting selfies... anyway I tell my wife "guess who's on the plane" and so she now wants to wait around, he then walks past us, nods at me and says "nice meeting you Scott" and continues.. The look my wife gave me at that point in time was like "WTF DID YOU DO.." Anyway. All i remember was here's one guy who could have just waived me off took the time to chat about nothing and still somehow gave me the "you matter too" vibe. Legend. Genuinely sad he's passed.

Exit, pursued by a T-Rex RIP Sam Neill
