I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.

Sim, o Lula falou disso abertamente

1/ The US "has decided that it now needs to engage in full-scale demolition of the same system that it created...The US is becoming poorer and weaker as it dismantles the very system it once built.”

Latest Polycrisis from @katemac.bsky.social & I on how investors and countries are responding

Same. I would have guessed 70%

Guys is it biased to favor a shared sense of objective reality

Dersh has been banging this drum since Trump1 & the really good news is: ostracism works, even on the shameless.

Tons of people miss this--the shameless are hyper-sensitive to stigma.

Civil society should use this free, non-violent tool to punish destructive people a lot more often. It works.

Picture of Smithsonian History Museum documenting Trump's two impeachments.

Can't take away my phone's picture of it.

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Exclusive: The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History removed references to President Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit — an apparent change to its plans to update its collection of artifacts about the historic U.S. proceedings.

Pedro, dormi 4hrs e n estou aqui a escrever como académica. Vazio legal = n está claro

Pois, daí haver especialistas que acham que se aplica. Mas há no mínimo dos mínimos ambiguidade legal. Daí tb a necessidade da revisão (vai ser no próximo ano). Estou a trabalhar num projecto sb cinema por isso esta questão aparece muito nas entrevistas

Há vazio legal quanto ao YouTube mas não Netflix ou Disney+ por ex. Não se faz mais porque não se quer. De qql forma a questão das user-led platforms está a ser debatida neste momento em preparação da revisão da directiva

Obrigações de % de conteúdo europeu (quotas) e de investimento em conteúdo europeu. A Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) permite fazê-lo tb para os streamers e plataformas de VoD mas a maioria dos estados na UE ou n implementa essa possibilidade ou escolhe fazê-lo de forma insignificante

uso da rede e obrigacoes semelhantes aos broadcasters

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

"In the long run, the result is that Europe becomes even more dependent on the U.S. And Trump has once again proven that bullying pays off. Will the schoolyard bully stop, if you hand over your candy?"

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Óptima resposta e ainda bem que houve consenso no painel quanto a esta questão

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

I wish Macron were half as good of a leader domestically as he is internationally. In any case, chapeau. #france #palestine

France has spent the better part of six months lobbying Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UK, Lithuania, Canada, Italy, and Japan, among others, to announce recognition of Palestine at the same time as France. It seems Macron has decided that he will go for it himself and let others follow.

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

This has been a hell of a year to work at WIRED; while AI and malevolent oligarchs have been eating journalism and the internet alive, the support the public has shown us shows that rigorous, fact-finding work by and for humans beats slop, and we have a lot more coming for our beloved subscribers.

É resquício, claro, mas faz sentido lógico dividi-lo enquanto transição entre semanas. Caso contrário o fds corresponde a que semana? A anterior ou a seguinte? É final ou início?

Apropos of nothing (a terrible panel discussion), there’s a lot of space between 1) acknowledging and being critical of some of the contradictions, excesses and pitfalls of identity politics and 2) supporting reactionary politics or art. 1 doesn’t lead to 2.

Por ex, Domingo é o primeiro dia em que começo a contar quantas vezes por semana vou ao ginásio

Eu!

What's the best book to understand how European far-right parties grow grassroots support? I'm interested in their bottom-up tactics – reaching out to local community groups, organising meetings, that kind of thing – not ideological or media analysis.
