The rule of law is indeed magnificent

Id submit as is. Id not say “it is long, happy to cut” because the natural answer is “so, cut”. Id not cut further if that means having to cut on things asked for the R&R

You really can’t let it go, right?

God, tired of working in mysterious ways:

They do not how to operate a bullhorn, how to work a crowd live, how to march, how to do all the things it would expected of them. They know to legislate, fundraise, and hire lawyers

This is my take too. It is a party organization prepared for institutionalized politics, not opposition to lawless authoritarianism

Como um dos autores do estudo, inclusive entrevistado p materia, esclareço: a conclusão do estudo nao eh q nao tem q punir. Nao era isso q a gente tava estudando. O q o estudo conclui eh q a condenação de um líder como o Bolsonaro tem efeitos contraditórios:

Eu pessoalmente acho q tem punir e tem q punir com gosto. Agora, como cientista politico, minha única contribuição eh mostrar q ao punir, as instituições de responsabilização acabam pagando um custo reputacional e que, portanto, nao se protege a democracia sem quebrar alguns ovos.

A conclusão, portanto, eh que a condenação eh uma faca de dois gumes: ela pode reforçar a democracia de um lado, ao mesmo tempo em que enfraquece seu apoio de outro. Esse eh o q a gente chama do dilema da responsabilização.

Por um lado, a condenação convenceu alguns dos eleitores nem-nem (nem Lula, nem Bolsonaro) que o Bolsonaro de fato cometeu um crime e deveria ser punido e barrado de se candidatar. Por outro, fez com que alguns Bolsonaristas se voltassem ainda mais contra as instituições e a democracia.

Como um dos autores do estudo, inclusive entrevistado p materia, esclareço: a conclusão do estudo nao eh q nao tem q punir. Nao era isso q a gente tava estudando. O q o estudo conclui eh q a condenação de um líder como o Bolsonaro tem efeitos contraditórios:

bem a materia tb diz q eu disse coisas q eu nao disse entao a confusão eh compreensível :-)

What a time to be alive

the idea that weiss had journalistic concerns is belied by the fact that she's not a journalist

Until last year I would define the univ as AI curious. Thats no longer the case. It is not yet open opposition, but it is a much more suspicious stance

One thing about BC and other catholic schools is that, since the pope came out against AI, they became publicly and privately much more cautious

There's always one detail that will crack your heart entirely open.
