β€˜This was a slaughter, not an operation’: the favela reeling from Rio’s deadliest police raid Residents of Vila Cruzeiro gather bodies after more than 130 were killed in pre-dawn assault

β€œIrrespective of whether these people were involved in the local drug trade or not, we don’t have the death penalty in Brazil … They should have been arrested…” This is always the point. Human rights are non-negotiable. I hope the world leaders going to Cop do not let this pass unremarked.

Lodge 49 GIF ALT: Lodge 49 GIF

Just rewatched the final episode of the amazing, beautiful and esoterically aware #Lodge49.
Such a great shame that there were only two seasons - particularly with so much unresolved stuff at the end.

Why do TV execs just pump out such a lot of stupid shit, when drama can be so uplifting?

It's appalling, but based on 30 years teaching experience, I would be sceptical that anything was printed out in colour for a homework assignment...

Oh man, you should check out the academic writing in "Rammstein on Fire" where the authors integrate postmodern bricolage and theory to make their interest in German Heavy Metal seem relevant to their academic roles... ("Why shouldn't I get paid for being in this moshpit - it's research!")
