What you'll probably find here: unhinged trivia.

All things language — in many languages (hyperpolyglot alert 🔊), random medieval manuscripts, a lot of excitement about classics, rants about theatre, podcasts and tech, reflections on running, and the occasional philosophy post.

É esse o retrato desse Congresso que se comporta como inimigo do povo: Carla Zambelli, presa em outro país HÁ MESES e condenada no Brasil em todas as instâncias a 10 anos de prisão, seguirá tendo um mandato fictício.

Glauber Braga, por não se calar, foi suspenso por 6 meses.

🚨 A Câmara acaba de ARQUIVAR o processo de cassação de Carla Zambelli.

Zambelli é condenada a 10 anos de prisão, não comparece à Câmara desde maio e está na Itália desde 5 de junho, onde é foragida e PRESIDIÁRIA.

Mas ela segue com um "mandato" que custa 132 MIL REAIS AO MÊS de DINHEIRO PÚBLICO. +👇🏽

Eu tô adorando ver esse monte de mulher de 55 a 70 anos falando nas redes sobre estarem passando pela perimenopausa. 🤨

É tipo o pessoal que fala dos millennials pra se referir às pessoas que têm 20 anos hoje em dia.

Só que ao contrário, enfim

There is a new book on Sulpicia, "one of the very few female poets of ancient Rome, to the foreground of public awareness by acknowledging her as the author of part of Corpus Tibullianum 3." NB: women in antiquity did write—and there is more than just Sappho, y'all! academic.oup.com/book/61623?l...

Within ten years, 65% of the beneficiaries of Bolsa Familia left the welfare program. The predictions that conservatives made about the effects of Bolsa Familia (eg permanent dependency) were never realized.

So, so many. But this one above all:

E se o dia insistir em raiar
só nos resta uma coisa a fazer
que é irmos embora, em direções opostas.

Today marks 36 years since 14 young women were killed at Polytechnique Montréal *because they were women*.

Every year, December 6 reminds us of the profound loss suffered by their families, friends, and communities. That day changed Montreal; it changed Canada. But not enough, not yet.

“Every year, when I see 14 beams of light projected into the sky above Mount Royal, I have to catch my breath.

“36 years ago, 14 young women were murdered in one of the most violent examples of misogynistic terrorism Canada has ever known.”

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

Outro dia uma dessas "professoras de idiomas" do Instagram tava explicando que a palavra "cínico" é etimologicamente relacionada a "sinistro".

É curioso que o BC tenha uns conjuntos de regras que apenas um banco consiga cumprir e que o banco em questão pertença justamente, entre outros, a um ex-ministro (de notável incompetência, aliás)

Minha idade musical é: não use Spotify. Spotify é uma merda. Com artista, com público, com a arte, com a privacidade, financia facho, start-up militar, etc. A qualidade das músicas é podre. Spotify é coisa de quem não ama música.

I remember this guy (ofc) trying to explain Telegram to me as if I was the village idiot or something. Too bad. He got schooled on how Telegram had already helped (almost?) topple democracy in my home country.

I wonder (#not) how that guy's doing these days and how his Telegram use is going.
Y'all remember the halcyon days before The Philosophical Underclass was taken over by a bunch of self-righteous assh*les (who kept telling us to just use libgen/scihub or some telegram bot or whatever), back when it was actually a great collaborative space, etc.?

We really can't have nice things.

Dans le contexte actuel de l'extinction du PEQ et de tout ce qui se passe au QC à cause de la CAQ, cet article qui souligne les enjeux *de l'IRCC* me paraît pas mal fourbe et sournois.

My favourite sign from yesterday’s protest against the CAQ. A gov’t unable to see Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab as complex individuals possessing their own autonomy. Always treated as docile victims or demonized vectors of religious extremism. Never just ppl making their own decisions.

May this be your reminder to donate to Wikipedia
wikipedia and the internet archive are basically the two bastions of "the old internet" that still remain. it is obvious why tech/media/culture billionaires want them gone
