O Agente Secreto ultrapassou a marca de 1 milhão de espectadores, e é oficialmente a maior bilheteria de um filme brasileiro de 2025. E é a primeira vez na história que um filme produzido fora do eixo Sul-Sudeste alcança essa marca nos cinemas!

As an author, I’ve already gotten multiple emails from people asking me for fake articles and books that I’ve supposedly written, because chatbots have told them fake references. I *cannot imagine* the frustration and time waste for librarians and especially ILL library professionals right now.

nos anos 90, o brilhante jornalista Aloysio Biondi expôs - quase voz única na mídia tradicional - as falácias da onda de privatizações que assolou o Brasil. Toda vez que há um apagão privatizado em SP, lembro dos seus textos. A história lhe deu ampla razão >

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Australia’s Social Media Ban Goes Into Effect As Pretty Much Everyone Realizes It’s A Total Mess
Australia’s social media ban for kids is now in effect. As we’ve discussed, this is a monumentally stupid plan that will do real harm to kids. It’s based on a moral panic and a wide variety of faulty assumptions, including that social media websites are inherently bad for kids, something that none of the evidence supports. And, even if there were harms associated with social media, the way you deal with them is teaching people (not just kids!) how to use them in an age appropriate way—meaning understanding the…
