se a extrema direita dominar, e nos colocar num campo de concentração
os "companheiros de cela" que vão te trair e denunciar pros algozes serão aqueles que se dirão "neutros" ou "isentos"

boa tarde seu guarda

uma tirinha da cigarra e da formiga! Aqui temos um sapato com chapéuzinho de policial intimando a cigarra, esta que ta sentadinha numa pedra com um tambor, ele diz "boa tarde, cigarra, recebi uma denúncia aqui de som alto contra a sua pessoa" ela responde "nossa, seu guarda, mas eu tô tocando tão baixinho", ele faz "é? Toque um pouco pra eu ouvir" aí ela começa a batucar...
termina, a cigarra "eaí?" O sapo "eu gostei", mais longe escondida atras de uma pedra, vemos a formiga espiando com um olhar de desgosto. A cigarra pergunta então "tá vendo? Quem foi que fez a denúncia, seu guarda? O senhor pode dizer?"
"Foi uma denúncia anônima" responde o sapo, a cigarra olha então pra longe e vê uma enorme folha sobressaindo por trás da pedra. Ela diz "hum... beleza"

BBC bosses tell Evan Davis to quit heat pump podcast claiming it was too 'political'

Davis says “I take their shilling, they dictate the rules… and they’ve decided heat pumps can be controversial”

BBC decided to cancel a podcast on heat pumps deeming the topic "controversial" because it presented that the technology could contribute to net zero reducing carbon emmissions.

In 2025 an anti-science posture is not only valid, but required in any debate to be considered "balanced" 😬

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.
