É isso gente, a coligação do PT manteve o mesmo número de senadores e aumentou o número de deputados federais. O crescimento do PL não foi em cima da esquerda, mas do centrão.

US gringos, hear me out because this is a cool opportunity for you to learn some things about your country: You're watching live the first steps of an attempt to fabricate a myth of a "Brazilian far-left dictatorship" so that your government can eventually justify fascist foreign policies 🧶

You cannot placate fascists because they have neither a ceiling nor a floor. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
You’re the sensible centrist government watching this take place. 

The far right pulls off votes to independents and fringe parties from you, the very sensible moderates whose managerial capitalism has actually caused the degradation they ascribe to foreigners. 

But they’re small enough in number that you dismiss them, and continue with the self-same policies which actually impact their voters’ lives.

Next time, they do well enough that you take notice. It is at this point you enter the spiral that has redrawn the electoral map of the Western world for the past decade.

You say you recognise ‘legitimate concerns’ and take a tougher line on, say, refugees. 

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system.

And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal. A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist. 

Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy. 

You’ve driven away your traditional base, while sanitising the racism of the far right for low information voters, who now consider them more reasonable. 

You have moved the sensible middle position toward the far right — where you now stand, boxed in, by the ghouls you’ve just baptised as moderates.

And the slide continues. Because you cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. 

Round up every refugee in camps and they’ll want the next cruelty. 

Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged. 

And now it’s too late, because you thought that you — and you alone! — would be the first centrist to steal the fascist’s lunch by agreeing with them rather than fighting them with every fibre of your being.

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

Quadro 1: um homem loiro calvo, rosado, de olhos azuis e bigode diz "temos que derrubar o Trump e voltar a ser o melhor país do mundo"

Quadro 2: Vemos que a cena se passa em uma sala de aula. Diante de um quadro negro, Maria da Conceição Tavares está segurando um cigarro nos dedos e diz para o homem que está com cara de horrorizado "Vocês nunca tiveram saúde pública, bob"

Quadro 3: Outro homem loiro e rosado, este mais novo e de cabelo militar diz "Nós levamos democracia pros outros países"

Quadro 4: Maria acende o cigarro e diz: "Vocês não sabem o que é isso, Mark"

Quadro 5: Uma moça loira rosada diz "então por que todos eles querem ser como nós?"

Quadro 6: A voz da professora responde para a moça agora profundamente surpresa "os outros países odeiam vocês, Shirley"

Último quadro: Surge o logotipo "Escolinha para estadunidenses progressistas", e abaixo, a moça do quadro anterior diz, raivosa "Cale a boca ou vou te explodir" "o carro aqui é barato", diz pensativo o homem do quadro 1

Also, in both Portuguese & Spanish we have "estadunidense", which is the official demonym for US citizens in several countries "USian" is a way to translate that in English. If you think that's latinos being offensive, you're vastly underestimating what we actually say when we want to attack the US

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic! This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI. We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.
No market research would've approved a French
j'RPG. No genre coverage graph would've led to PEAK. No player count prediction would've funded a decade-long development cycle for a game about blueprints.
The games you love are built by people who got to dream, and had the resources to back it up.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. 
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
