#TimWu: "…more important than #thedeal itself is the approach. It hints at a new era in economic policy for the United States that is centered on a paramount leader (Mr. #Trump) actively picking winners and losers. To be sure, the federal government, usually by way of Congress, has previously practiced #industrialpolicy. But the #centralization of policy in the president would be something different: more like a command economy, which in the United States might be called #commandcapitalism."

#deExtinction: "The American company #Colossal changed only 14 genes to produce its cute "#direwolf" puppies. Curiously, all 14 are genes with effects on the appearance of animals, being linked to the colour, thickness and length of the fur and the size of the animals.
Is #resurrecting a species now just #cosplaying an extinct animal with a current species? To top it off, George R.R. Martin himself - yes, the author of #GameofThrones - signs the scientific article as well. And he is an investor in the company. He compared the feat to a form of "magic". Only if it's to magically fatten his bank account even more."

"#Direwolves dominated southern Canada and the United States, according to Julie Meachen, a paleontologist at Des Moines University who worked on the #ancientDNA project. And they outcompeted gray wolves, being 25 percent bigger and possessing massive teeth and jaws. They hunted horses, bison and possibly mammoths. When many of those prey species became extinct — probably in part because of human hunters — the dire wolf may have been doomed, and the gray wolf swept down from northern Canada and Alaska to fill the ecological void."

DON't go crazy with the Internet!
"Do people really allow their devices to interrupt them on a random reinforcement schedule? I mean, no wonder the internet makes people go crazy. I'm not a big believer in #BFSkinner, but I think it's well established that any stimulus that occurs at random intervals is impossible to get used to, and shocks you anew every time it recurs."

"The #Tobacco, #UltraProcessedFoods (#UPFs), #FossilFuel,& #Alcohol industries are "wholly or partly responsible" for nearly 1/4 of all deaths in the region.

"A Professora Jill Lepore definiu a fase atual do capitalismo como “muskismo”. O #muskismo, segundo ela, é esse capitalismo “extremo, extravagante e extraterrestre”. É um capitalismo baseado em especulações – e não apenas da bolsa de valores, mas em novos níveis, incluindo criptomoedas e NFTs.
…
A internet de 2024 é um espaço dominado por meia dúzia de empresas gigantescas e nós, os usuários, somos arrastados pela lógica do like. Enquanto escrevo aqui, o #Twitter continua feito um trem desgovernado (ou um Tesla no piloto automático). Musk agora está atacando o ministro Alexandre de #Moraes."

"O #futeboleuropeu nos ensinou a venerar o espaço. Encontre o homem mais fundo, quebre a linha, estique o campo. Mas, talvez, o futebol seja mais que isso. O #futebolbrasileiro está nos lembrando: o #futebol é sobre nós. O futebol associativo vive", exaltou #DavidGarcia, antes de começar a explicação.
O principal tópico separado pelo analista sobre o jogo do #Flamengo foi a questão posicional. Ao invés de esticar o campo a todo o tempo, o Rubro-Negro buscou constantemente #associaçõescurtas que geraram espaços, ao invés de esperar que o #Chelsea os abrisse. Naturalmente, criou muitas chances.
"Cinco passes, dois jogadores, nunca mais de 6 metros separados. Eles venceram quatro defensores do Chelsea sem precisar de espaço, trocas ou estrelas. Apenas #ritmo, #sentimento e #confiança na próxima ação. O terceiro gol do Flamengo é puro futebol de rua", elogiou no tento de #WallaceYan."

As políticas públicas que utilizam #SoftwareLivre representam "ilhas de #póscapitalismo", no sentido indicado por #MarkFisher.
Viva o #SoftwarePúblico!"…because it is free and because it is an example of #governmentworking, #DirectFile and the #IRS’s Free File program more broadly have been the subject of years of lobbying efforts by financial technology giants like Intuit, which makes TurboTax. #DOGE sought to kill Direct File, and currently, there is language in Trump’s massive budget reconciliation bill that would kill Direct File. Experts say that “ending [the] Direct File program is a gift to the tax-prep industry that will cost taxpayers time and money.”

"Did #disease trigger early #monotheism?
Amenohotep's son—"the heretic King" Akhenaten (who was also Tutankhamun's father)—abandoned the old gods of #Egypt. In one of the earliest cases of monotheism, Akhenaten made worship of the sun the official state religion.
Akhenaten witnessed devastating disease during his childhood and into his reign, with several of his children and wives having died from disease."

"Around 7 p.m., the big screens onstage that displayed the American flags turned to logos for UFC, the mixed martial arts business. Later, the MC thanked “special sponsor #Palantir,” a contractor hired to help #Trump compile data on Americans across federal agencies.
The made-for-TV military parade looked expensive — but not necessarily impressive. Meanwhile, millions of people reportedly participated in #NoKings #parades Saturday across the country."

"Here is the story I wanted to tell: There is a grinding #contradiction at the core of the current #MAGAcoalition, a fundamental conflict in worldview and values that is so extreme that the temporary expediency that currently cloaks this split is doomed to erode into mutual distrust, rivalry, and even open revolt. Pointing out and articulating this contradiction, I wanted to say, might even help hasten its exposure, as the word gets out that the orange emperor has no clothes — or rather, that he is wearing clothes that dangerously clash."

A theory of change [for the #EU, and the #GlobalSouth]: Ditch #IPlaws and #copyprotection, and set #interoperability free!!"America's robust GDP figures are a mirage, artificially buoyed up by the monopoly rents extracted by #USBigTech, who prey on Americans AND foreigners.
But foreigners don't have to tolerate this nonsense. Governments around the world signed up to protect giant American companies from small domestic competitors (from local app stores—for phones, games consoles, and IoT gadgets—to local printer cartridge remanufacturers) on the promise of tariff-free access to US markets. With #Trump imposing tariffs will-ye or nill-ye on America's trading partners large and small, there is no reason to go on delivering rents to US Big Tech." -
"Continued reductions in #cancermortality because of drops in smoking, better treatment, and earlier detection is certainly great news. However, this progress is tempered by rising incidence in young and middle-aged women, who are often the family caregivers, and a shifting cancer burden from men to women, harkening back to the early 1900s when #cancer was more common in women.
Another nationwide study from earlier this year found that between 1975 and 2020, almost 6 million deaths from five of the most common cancers (#breast, #cervical, #colorectal, #lung and #prostate cancer) were averted through a combination of #prevention, #screening, and improved #treatments."

"#SadiqKhan, Mayor of #London: "The report makes a compelling, evidenced-based case for the #decriminalisation of possession of small quantities of natural #cannabis which the government should consider.
Its study examined how the drug is policed around the world - and also found cannabis policing "continues to focus on particular ethnic communities," damaging their relations with law enforcement." #drugspolicy

"The data suggests that some of the tools used to combat #opioidoverdoses, such as naloxone, the #overdose-reversing medication, were having a significant impact. But researchers and federal and state health officials have puzzled over the exact reasons for the decrease, including why #overdoses have fallen so much in recent months.
The pace of the decline “is such an anomaly in the last 20 years”."

Trecho do voto do Ministro #FlavioDino:
"E se diz também, querido ministro #Fux, que "não morreu ninguém". Mas centenas e milhares morreram depois do #golpe de estado. Mata! Não importa se é no dia, no mês seguinte, ou alguns anos depois. Vimos isto! Porque a #arte é fonte do direito também… pela pena de um lado de Marcelo #RubensPaiva, de outro pela genialidade de #WalterSalles, #FernandaTorres e outros tantos que orgulham a #culturabrasileira: estão mostrando ali, remarcando o caráter permanente e hediondo do desaparecimento de pessoas, de torturas, de assassinatos que derivam de quê?! De um #golpedeEstado!"

"My journey—from underground activism in Kurgan Oblast*, where I bypassed state propaganda in search of the truth, to building a new life in the EU—revealed a terrifying reality: #digitalsurveillance and #datamanipulation are not confined to a single regime. A handful of U.S.-based tech giants dominate the platforms we use every day—social networks, messaging apps, operating systems, and cloud services. If #autocrats or #rogueleaders learn to exploit these global networks, none of us, anywhere, can consider ourselves safe."

"The success of #IAmStillHere has also been a great source of national pride. After that film’s star, #FernandaTorres, won a 2025 Golden Globe for Best Female Actor, she said, of the other nominees, “Everybody deserves it, everybody! So I don’t know why they chose this #streetdog that speaks Portuguese, but I’m so glad.” The rhetoric was familiar, but in this case “street dog” was not being deployed in a self-deprecating way following a defeat; rather, it was a statement of modesty made by a Brazilian who had just claimed victory on an American stage. The confidence of the country is brimming such that the typical Brazilian stray dog itself, called the #viralatacaramelo, or the caramel-colored mutt, has surged in popularity, as the embodiment of Brazilians’ friendly, resilient, and multicultural nature. It has inspired adoption and marketing campaigns, appearances at Carnaval, and even legislative proposals that the caramelo become a national icon."

"At the Governors Ball, SPC’s co-presidents Tom Bernard and Michael Barker were cheering the win for #WalterSalles’ #ImStillHere, 26 years after their release, Salles’ #CentralStation, was also nominated for Foreign Film and Actress (#FernandaTorres’ mother #FernandaMontenegro, who plays her older character in “I’m Still Here”). This time, finally, the movie won an award. At the ball, Torres congratulated rising star Madison on her #Oscar. And Barker reminded that the movie is playing on over 600 screens, and has grossed $5.2 million domestic and over $28.2 million worldwide."

"#Anora, o vencedor da noite, não fala das condições dilacerantes do #trabalhosexual. "Anora" romantiza o precário. O mesmo recado dado há séculos: mulheres, encontrem seus príncipes. É um recado violento e absolutamente amado por #Hollywood. Mas na premiação desse ano ele foi ainda mais eloquente dada a força das interpretações das sexagenárias #DemiMoore e #FernandaTorres. Mulheres: coloquem-se nos seus lugares. Não me venham com filmes sobre mães extraordinárias ou sobre a dureza de envelhecer nesse meio. Queremos as prostitutas jovens e monodimensionais. Elas serão premiadas."

"Apesar de ser a capital alemã, #Berlim não é a potência econômica do país. Se fosse removida da Alemanha, o PIB per capita do país permaneceria o mesmo. Nessa reportagem, exploramos a inusitada economia dessa metrópole — e como sua relação com o capitalismo influenciou seu presente. Como que é possível que a maior cidade alemã, com uma população de quase 4 milhões de pessoas, tenha uma economia tão pequena?"

#ErikDavis: "There is a reason that #esoteric things were esoteric throughout the history of #culture and #religion, and it is that they are not for everybody, at least at the stage most people are, trying to just make a living, trying to keep their families together... because a lot of these esoteric practices and experiences, have a kind of #deconstructing quality, they pull the rug out from under you, they show you a multiplicity world, sometimes god is everywhere, and it is pretty groovy, but it can be, in someways, #unsettling."

"In his latest book,"Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the #Capitalism of the #FarRight", #QuinnSlobodian writes that the rise of the contemporary right — both in its #technolibertarian and more #authoritarian strains — cannot be understood without considering neoliberal thinkers’ turn to nature and science as a buttress against demands for #socialjustice and #affirmativeaction in the 1990s.
"The book was intended as a corrective to the narrative in which the far right was understood as a response to the excesses of #neoliberalglobalization.
The idea is to understand how people who prioritize #economicfreedom above all else would find helpful allies in people who believe in natural forms of hierarchy such as race, gender, and intelligence.
Things like the present project of destroying the #worldtrade system are not explainable by simple structural incentives. It has a very strange intellectual coherence, but one that you can map out.
There’s a concerted effort right now in the United States to make the practice of scholarship as we’ve understood it impossible. It’s really an effort to defund #highereducation."https://jacobin.com/2025/04/race-science-neoliberalism-hayek-slobodian/

"When I first started using #PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold.
That self never arrived."
@DaojoanMany good points here. #Tana keeps helping me make good use of past notes (personal writing from the past), but it never felt as a #secondbrain.
