Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Representação artística de como era um mamute-lanoso: o mamute tem corpo grande e robusto, coberto por uma pelagem marrom-escura espessa. Suas presas são muito grandes, brancas e curvas, formando quase um semicírculo para frente. Ao fundo, há uma paisagem aberta com vegetação rasteira e céu nublado, representando a tundra do Ártico.

Por que é impossível clonar um mamute:

Nessa semana nós vimos uma startup com mais dinheiro que Deus e menos escrúpulos que uma certa família de milicianos prometer que vai trazer o mamute de volta. Neste fio eu quero argumentar que isso não só não é ético, como também não é nem sequer possível.

Let's recap the timeline for those of you who haven't been following.

Friday: a deportation flight containing 88 Brazilians takes off from American soil. The deportees are handcuffed and bound in leg irons, as is standard practice on such flights. The Americans are flying into a trap.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

This chart, titled "How far apart are the incomes of the rich and poor in different countries?" compares the monthly after-tax income of individuals in the richest 10% and the poorest 10% across various countries. The income disparities are represented visually with vertical lines and circles for each country, showing the ratio between the two groups. For instance, in South Africa (2017), the richest 10% earn 22 times more than the poorest 10%, while in Norway (2021), the richest 10% earn only 3.1 times more. Other countries included are Brazil (2022), China (2018), Uruguay (2022), the UK (2021), and the US (2022), with the disparity ranging from 3.1x in Norway to 22x in South Africa. All incomes are measured in international dollars at 2017 prices to account for differences in the cost of living. Data source: Luxembourg Income Study (2024).

Usando dados públicos do INEP, DATASUS e IBGE, encontramos evidências inéditas da relação entre cobertura de creche e mortalidade infantil no Brasil.

As evidências mostram que quanto maior a cobertura de creche, menor a taxa de mortalidade.

A new study in Helsinki daycares, Finland: air purifiers led to a 30% reduction in children's illnesses.

Healthier children = healthier staff and parents = big savings.

Bonus: the sound of the air purifier made it easier to get the kids to nap.

A Constituição dos Sonhos Conheça a história das 72 mil cartas enviadas por cidadãos à Assembleia Nacional Constituinte e saiba como consultá-las

Trouxeram ao meu conhecimento ontem este baita trabalho bacana do Senado brasileiro: digitalizaram e organizaram as cartas que os brasileiros mandaram à Assembleia Nacional Constituinte, em 1988, contando o que esperavam da nossa Carta Cidadã. Baita ideia boa, e o resultado final ficou muito bonito.

Dica para as eleições para vereador/a:

❌ não vote na legenda (número do partido)
✅ vote no número de uma candidatura
👀 de um partido em que você confia

Por quê?
- se você votar só na legenda, você está ajudando o partido
- mas não está ajudando a dizer quem merece ocupar aquela cadeira
