me lembra a galerinha do site que fala de Jones Manoel todo dia, escrutiniza cada tweet do cara (vídeo, não assistem nenhum, estranhamente), mas aí quando ele foi ameaçado de morte por neonazistas, a galera não deu um pio e deixou o nome dele descansar por uns dias. SOLIDÁRIOS!

It's pretty wild a large portion of the internet tried to fabricate a scandal surrounding Hasan using a shock collar in the same day that Asmongold was saying that ICE agents should shoot protesters with live ammunition

Como o Flogão virou um reduto online de fãs de caminhão

O Flogão, rede social de fotos popular no Brasil em meados da década passada, continua na ativa recheado de fotos de caminhões. Por quê?

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

fanart of Nemesis from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (red jeans, black crop top with the Hades sigil as a pattern on it), moon shaped necklace, tattoos on her left arm and pecs, as she's about to tie her hair using a green hairband, her eyes closed
(green light on her right side cause she's standing next to Melinoe's glowing arm, off camera)

fanart of Eris, from Hades 2, she's sitting, right leg with her knee bent, in front of her
right hand on her right foot, left hand on her face, framing her left eye between two fingers
she's wearing big sneakers, micro shorts, some sort of sweater with stripes showing her shoulders
she has apple tree branch tattoos on her thigh and left shoulder

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

🇪🇨 O carro do presidente Daniel Noboa, do Equador, foi atacado com pedras e paus ao cruzar um bloqueio numa estrada.

Noboa, que enfrenta uma onda de protestos de povos indígenas contra o aumento do preço do diesel, disse que “não vai permitir que um grupo de vândalos impeça o governo de trabalhar”.

Name this bird! 🤔 (See alt-text for clue) 🌏 #NameThisBird #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

"I am a medium-sized, strikingly colourful waterfowl native to East Asia. The male (drake) is particularly distinctive, sporting a red bill, large white eye-crescents, and a dramatic set of 'sails' (upright feathers) on its back. I am often kept in ornamental collections and zoos around the world. What bird am I?" 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Os brasileiros que integram a Flotilha Global Sumud já foram deportados de Israel e se encontram na Jordânia, logo mais a caminho de casa. Cumpriram com honra, dignidade e coragem missão de solidariedade contra o regime sionista. Que sirvam de incentivo e exemplo para todos nós na luta anticolonial.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia:
doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity.
1/n

Abstract: Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or
even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in
the 21st with social media. For these collective blunders, we now regret our involvement or
apathy as scientists, and society struggles to put the genie back in the bottle. Currently, we
are similarly entangled with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. For example, software updates are rolled out seamlessly and non-consensually, Microsoft Office is bundled with chatbots, and we, our students, and our employers have had no say, as it is not
considered a valid position to reject AI technologies in our teaching and research. This
is why in June 2025, we co-authored an Open Letter calling on our employers to reverse
and rethink their stance on uncritically adopting AI technologies. In this position piece,
we expound on why universities must take their role seriously toa) counter the technology
industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity. We include pointers to
relevant work to further inform our colleagues.

Figure 1. A cartoon set theoretic view on various terms (see Table 1) used when discussing the superset AI
(black outline, hatched background): LLMs are in orange; ANNs are in magenta; generative models are
in blue; and finally, chatbots are in green. Where these intersect, the colours reflect that, e.g. generative adversarial network (GAN) and Boltzmann machine (BM) models are in the purple subset because they are
both generative and ANNs. In the case of proprietary closed source models, e.g. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and
Apple’s Siri, we cannot verify their implementation and so academics can only make educated guesses (cf.
Dingemanse 2025). Undefined terms used above: BERT (Devlin et al. 2019); AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al.
2017); A.L.I.C.E. (Wallace 2009); ELIZA (Weizenbaum 1966); Jabberwacky (Twist 2003); linear discriminant analysis (LDA); quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA).

Table 1. Below some of the typical terminological disarray is untangled. Importantly, none of these terms
are orthogonal nor do they exclusively pick out the types of products we may wish to critique or proscribe.

Faz seu corre.

Faz O SEU corre.

Não esquece DO SEU corre. Não do dos outros, DO SEU corre.

O jeito mais rápido de se foder é se preocupar mais com o corre dos outros do que com o seu e as pessoas mais filhas da puta que eu já conheci tinham várias pessoas em volta fazendo o corre delas por elas.
