O prometido está longe do devido no que toca a velocidade de internet.

Jornalismo de dados em registo Revista Maria sobre os problemas de rede em Portugal.

Abrantes tem rede de Internet móvel no papel, mas velocidade fica aquém do prometido

O problema da cobertura de rede quase só existe em alguns concelhos do interior e ilhas. Mas o prometido está longe do devido. Um artigo da série Posto de Escuta, com base em perguntas dos leitores.

O Chega já conseguiu “implodir o sistema”: o Parlamento é uma bandalheira

“Rebentar com o sistema” também é tornar irrespirável o ambiente no Parlamento para acabar com ele. Encolher institucionalmente os ombros – a estratégia que vingou agora – é ser cúmplice da implosão.

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

PSD, Chega e CDS livram banqueiros de irem ao Parlamento falar sobre cartel

Parlamento não pode ser “segunda edição do julgamento” do cartel da banca e, por isso, PSD rejeitou audição a banqueiros. Só líderes da APB, Concorrência e Banco de Portugal serão ouvidos.

The Wall Street Journal just published the photo of the birthday letter from Trump to Epstein.

www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

A stylized letter in the shape of a woman’s torso with dialogue printed inside. The text is a back-and-forth exchange labeled “Voice Over,” “Donald,” and “Jeffrey,” discussing life, enigmas, and friendship. At the bottom, it ends with “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Signed “Donald J. Trump” with his signature. A caption below reads: “A photo of the letter, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate.”

Technically, Rolex causing a delay in the starting time at the US Open is ironic

Absolutely stunning that they’re starting this Alcaraz-Sinner U.S. Open final while more than half the attendees (who spent perhaps thousands of dollars) can’t get in.

What the actual fuck.

US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”

U.S. Open Orders Broadcasters to Censor Reactions to Trump

An email obtained by Bounces includes instructions from the U.S. Open on supporting Trump's planned stagecraft during the National Anthem.

Absolute carnage at the US Open

24000 people stuck outside Ashe, unable to reach their seats due to enhanced security protocols

Players will either be further delayed or walk out to a two thirds empty stadium - all so Rolex can tickle the ego of a fascist
