@siegnant ''But the Free Folk and White Walkers are a resourceful and productive part of Westerosi society. We should welcome them with open arms and homes. Down with The Wall and with the Night's Watch''

hahahahaha
Something similar could have been said about the Wall (ASOIAF)...

Over 12,000 people were arrested in the UK in 2023 for speech-related offenses, including social media posts.
Bizarrely, this has only been a right-wing talking point, "liberals" largely remain quiet. Standard indicators of democracy do not flag any issues.
So if 4chan wants to mock the UK Censorship Agency with hamster pics, it seems quite deserved..

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

And that's after Takaichi was so warm greeting him with an unexpected hug. Trump behaved recklessly for no reason.
由仁アリン Arin Yuni@Arin_Yumi
Japanese news outlets were doing a live translation of the press conference, and when Trump dropped the Pearl Harbor joke the translators were audibly lost for words and paused for a few seconds in disbelief
English
At least the orange troll didn't mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
Takaichi is a nice ally and a key player in the Pacific, she deserves more than being embarrassed in such way.
Daily Wire@realDailyWire
This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran? Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂

O Centro de Gestão e Políticas Públicas do @Insper e o Instituto Sou da Paz organizaram hoje encontro "Como avançar na investigação de homicídios?", que abordou a questão com altíssimo nível, com presença de acadêmicos, promotores do MP e delegados. A despeito da violência ser um dos maiores problemas do Brasil, há ótimas cabeças estudando o assunto com racionalidade e obtendo bons resultados Brasil afora. Há esperança!

perto de casa tem um trecho específico muito mal projetado... exceto nas noites de fim de semana, às vezes demoro 40min pra andar 200m neste maldito trecho (basicamente ele coleta toda o fluxo que diverge da Dutra e joga em uma pista de 2 faixas + o fluxo da pista de 2 faixas + "negociação" de quem vai para ou vem da Dutra)
boa parte destes congestionamentos crônicos é simplesmente planejamento ruim e péssima execução de obras viárias
Português
Levei inacreditáveis 2 horas e meia para percorrer os 25 km entre minha casa e o Insper. Se eu tivesse corrido em ritmo tranquilo (6 min/km), chegaria ao mesmo tempo.

"Camille Paglia argues that some artists engage in “sexual metathesis,” using opposite sex characters to express gender-bending fantasies. Cameron is engaging in species metathesis—expressing a longing to be an alien." @William82912598 for @Quillette

"The amount of food available has increased faster than the population on every continent over the past 60 years, even as the land area devoted to farming has fallen. As so often happens with environmental pessimism, Ehrlich’s warning was already out of date when it was made."

Michael Shermer@michaelshermer
Eco-pessimists like Paul Ehrlich are not just anti-human, they always think other people should be sterilized, people are like locusts, problems cannot be solved so limit innovation. Negativity sells. Doomsday headlines rule. Progress almost invisible. thefp.com/p/paul-ehrlich…

It’s actually substantially worse than this tweet makes it out to be:
The study in question claimed that black babies died more when cared for by white doctors.
Not only was that finding spurious and disappeared when controlling for low birthweight infants, it DID find that white babies died more when cared for by black doctors.
They were well aware of this, and an audit of the original manuscript showed a comment where they intentionally chose to downplay this because it “did not fit the narrative.”
Wokeness went through academia like a fucking freight train and produced some of the most god-awful bullshit since the inception of the scientific method.
Much of it has never been corrected in the public consciousness.
This paper, for example, was cited by everyone’s favorite low IQ Supreme Court justice.
Steve Stewart-Williams@SteveStuWill
A famous study found that Black babies have higher survival rates if attended by Black than White doctors. But a re-analysis of the data shows the effect disappears after accounting for the fact that low birth weight babies more often see White doctors. [Link below.]

Brazil has more lawyers than the rest of the world combined (I don't know if that's actually the case, but it is an "urban legend").
Anup Malani@anup_malani
Countries with more engineers grow faster. Countries with more lawyers grow slower. The cross-country data are striking. I'm a law professor, so make of that what you will.

@AnnaLeptikon An issue with humanities degrees is that they tend to produce people who have never had the experience of being wrong on technical grounds, which humbles people in math, engineering and experimental sciences. Instead, they get reward and pushback based on social criteria

@RomuloBDias a Dzungaria que o diga!
ué, nunca ouviu falar dessa nação? pois é, os chineses genocidaram esse povo
temos o Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongólia (o país é a "Mongólia exterior", porque a China pegou parte pra ela, a "Mongólia interior")...

Xi Jinping:
“A nação chinesa não carrega em seu sangue o gene de invadir outros ou de buscar a hegemonia.
O povo chinês não apenas deseja um bom desenvolvimento para si mesmo, mas também espera que os povos de todos os países possam ter uma vida feliz e pacífica.”

re ehrlich. i can't emphasize to you how much ppl steeped in ecological sciences operate in the malthusian/carrying capacity framework and just have a really hard time accepting economic arguments about productivity gains due to higher population/better institutions, etc.
Nick Gillespie@nickgillespie
Read Andrew Ferguson on Paul Ehrlich and Earth Day. This was published in 1990 at @reason. Full piece at reason.com/1990/04/01/apo… Now, Dr. Ehrlich was an entomologist by training, and some immediately recognized that after many years of rigorous study he had lost the capacity to distinguish between an army of hideous little arthropods swarming over his desk in a Stanford laboratory and an upwardly mobile population of Homo sapiens building tract houses in Palo Alto. Each for him was equally unpleasant; each brought chaos. But, hinged or unhinged, he was a doctor, and that seemed good enough for everybody. It was enough, in any event, for Playboy and Look and Reader's Digest and McCall's and the dozens of other slick magazines that got him to dispense his wisdom in their pages, and it was enough for Johnny Carson, who throughout the '70s made the bug man a regular guest on his show. For Ehrlich had the tone just right. "We face a very real crisis this instant," he told Reader's Digest readers in 1968. This instant: petulant, barely choking down the sob, vaguely threatening to hold…my breath…until…you pay attention to me. But the tone, however undignified, was necessary; this was, let's not forget, apocalypse. Even if the world's food supply tripled by the year 2000, he continued in his Digest article, "it is already too late to prevent a drastic rise in the death rate through starvation." And how late is it, as Johnny's audience might have called out? "The time of famines will be upon us full-scale in 1975." But then a cruel shrug: "What's done is done."

@FriedHardt Ele não tem cargo legislativo.
Nós temos algumas dezenas de deputados e várias dezenas de senadores responsáveis por esta merda. Eles escreveram e votaram a lei imbecil.
