Bad Bunny isn't an immigrant.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.
The enthusiasm — and scorn — surrounding Bad Bunny’s star turn at the Super Bowl
The halftime show will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star makes an explicit message about Trump’s deportation drive.

A questão é quem ocupou o lugar do Epstein como concierge da sociopatia. Porque eu não acredito que esse número imenso de super ricos abandonou e a perversidade e começou a viver dentro da lei depois que ele foi suicidado.

I know it’s intentional but we should stop calling everything AI, lumping useful machine learning techniques for science with large language models that tech companies are trying to cram into everything.
AI to track icebergs adrift at sea.
British scientists say a world-first AI tool to catalogue and track icebergs as they break apart into smaller chunks could fill a "major blind spot" in predicting climate change

Os caras simplesmente resolveram escancarar que o Legislativo é um esquema socialmente aceito de pegar o dinheiro dos nossos impostos e enfiar nos próprios bolsos e foda-se.
🇧🇷 URGENTE: Câmara aprova reajuste de até 40% para servidores do Legislativo e folga de 1 dia a cada 3 dias trabalhados.
Licença compensatória poderá ser paga em formato de pecúnia - ou seja, em dinheiro e sem cobrança de imposto de renda -, abrindo margem para supersalários.

o que mais me deixou feliz foi o manejo corretíssimo feito pelo bombeiro! Jogou pano, conteve as garras (o maior perigo num manejo de rapinante e pediu auxílio com o bico/cabeça). É muito comum vermos barbeiragens em manejo por aí (principalmente com serpentes)
Uma Harpia (Harpia harpyja), a maior águia das Américas, foi resgatada pelo Corpo de Bombeiros na noite da sexta 31/1 em um posto de combustível de Ariquemes, em Rondônia. Foi depois de colisão com caminhão na BR-364, ela havia ficado presa entre a cabine e a carroceria do veículo.

Cada vez mais convicta de que "resistência ao fascismo" esse chavão repetido no brasil desde 2018, significa principalmente resistir às tentadoras saídas fáceis que ele nos oferece.
Sobre o caso do cão Orelha...
Estão atacando adolescentes que não tiveram relação com o crime.
E quando os pais se pronunciam pra informar que os filhos não são os envolvidos e nunca foram pra SC... são atacados e chamados de "protetores de criminosos"
To com medo de acabarem linchando alguém.

I cannot overemphasize enough how important it is every district in the US have someone running on the Democratic line this November. And ideally that it be someone not trash. This is a super important time to be aware of your local primaries. This is actual "Fuck it! Run yourself!" hours
Dems flipped a TX State Senate seat last night which has been held by Republicans for the last 48 years. Trump beat Harris here by 17% -- 58% to 41%. But vet & machinist Taylor Rehmet reversed that, winning 57%-43%.
Reps had pumped $2.5m in compared to Dems $.5m to try to save the seat.

If you’re going to use LLMs to help you build and app or code:
1. you need RIGOROUS, rigorous unit testing, and/or
2. you need to already mostly know how to build the thing yourself so you can check and modify
I fear #2 is going to become less common, so let’s be super adamant about #1 😬
