A lógica petista funciona assim:

Hoje todo mundo tem celular graças ao Lula, mesmo que ele tenha sido contra a privatização da Telebrás e taxado mais de 1.200 eletrônicos importados, incluindo smartphones

Hoje todo mundo tem casa graças ao Lula, mesmo que o governo Lula tenha criado travas pra restringir o financiamento de imóveis pelo programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida e que o número de moradores de rua tenha praticamente duplicado nesse mesmo governo

Hoje todo mundo tem carro na garagem graças ao Lula, mesmo que ele tenha aumentado o imposto nos carros a combustão "pra ajudar o meio ambiente", ao mesmo tempo que aumentou imposto de importação nos carros elétricos "pra incentivar a indústria nacional", mesmo que a gente não tenha nenhuma, sem mencionar o etanol na gasolina

Mas o aumento de homicídios e crimes violentos contra negros, indígenas, mulheres e LGBTs não tem nada a ver com o Lula, mesmo que ele tenha cortado R$ 708 milhões (aproximadamente 31,5%) da verba de prevenção à criminalidade, metido um veto no projeto de lei que acabava com as saídas temporárias de bandidos e que o partido dele tenha votado contra endurecimento de crimes hediondos, como estupro e assassinato

I studied in the academic department at Cambridge that later employed Jason Arday. Here's just some of the crap I learnt: For one module, I wrote a lengthy essay about how cultural products like kids’ cartoons and jazz songs serve as instruments of capitalist oppression. I got a top mark on that paper (despite knowing at the time that I was essentially regurgitating complete crap).

While studying for another paper I had a debate with the professor, an eminent anthropologist, because she insisted that native tribes could fly through the trees - not metaphorically, but that they could literally fly because they believed they could fly. After all, who are we to question ‘indigenous ways of knowing’...

For a different course, I read long ‘research papers’ which argued that the fact that black kids are excluded from schools more than white kids proves systemic racism exists in education. Crucially, they ignored the fact that white kids are excluded more than, e.g., Japanese kids, a statistic which, applying the exact same logic, would suggest that the education system is systemically biased in favour of, erm, Japanese kids (which obviously it isn’t).

Something that was held up as proof of the existence of this largely imaginary racism was that teachers tell kids not to use booming voices in the classroom, and not to put up their hoods or wear their trousers down below their pants.

On another occasion, my supervisor casually praised some students agitators who were trying to shut down a talk by someone they disagreed with. I said that I didn’t think this was something to celebrate, because I believed in freedom of speech. He got visibly angry, and proceeded to tell me that free speech was not worth protecting in a capitalist system (or something along those lines).

In my all-important final year, a lecturer let me know that I shouldn’t worry too much about my exam results, because as someone who was not from an upper class background I should be more focussed on using my grasp of leftist revolutionary theory to further the interests of the proletariat. Writing this down, it strikes me that it’s so hilariously mental that some of you will presumably assume I’m lying. But there’s no way I’m leaving it out, because it happened.

Unlike the academics who make a living from this stuff, I couldn’t bring myself to build a career pumping out whiney, divisive, intellectually incoherent rubbish. But others, as we’ve seen exposed in recent days, do so with gusto. And are lauded for it.

Please read the full piece this is taken from, and give it a share. I've linked it in the tweet below.

Slow down and remember this:

Most things make no difference.

Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant.

Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive.

Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

A mentalidade comunista é bem infantil, e todos sabem, mas é realmente curioso como conseguem escondê-la sob uma fachada extremamente pretensiosa e verborrágica para, quando levantada, cair na contradição mais grotesca. Como nesse tweet.

A futura sociedade comunista representa a aspiração à liberdade plena, onde, desde a mais tenra infância, o indivíduo não estaria acossado, forçado nem reprimido por todos os sistemas que a história provou serem os mais eficientes em manejar e diminuir os custos da coordenação humana num mundo escasso e limitado. Não, não haverá mais nada disso após uma vasta planificação global, onde apenas restará a figura idílica do indivíduo emancipado e diluído no amorfo coletivo do “proletariado”, que, por ser a única classe restante, não é classe nenhuma.

Mas o que mantém esse estado de coisas idílico em funcionamento harmonioso? O que garante essa liberdade emancipatória irrestrita? O próprio comuna, sem se atinar com a contradição, responde ao final: Ele é "garantido pela ditadura absoluta do Partido Comunista". A liberdade plena sob a ditadura absoluta; a classe vencedora da história que não é classe; o indivíduo que é, ao mesmo tempo, ditador e ditado. São apenas jogos linguísticos.

Não é à toa que Eric Voegelin achava que Hegel, o inspirador da grande confusão mental que é o marxismo, não era filósofo, mas um alquimista versado em "magia", isto é, a arte de criar e descriar a partir das particularidades da linguística. Todo o materialismo-histórico-dialético e o projeto comunista são apenas isso: uma grande pretensão fundada na "magia" de superar a realidade através de jogos linguísticos.

A maior parte do eleitorado está dividida entre o presidente cujo filho empresário faturou com lobby em seu governo e o filho senador do ex-presidente que faturou com o protagonista da maior fraude da história.

Gilmar Mendes, 17/6/2009:

“Está claro que a exigência de diploma de curso superior em jornalismo para o exercício da profissão tinha uma finalidade de simples entendimento: afastar dos meios de comunicação intelectuais, políticos e artistas que se opunham ao regime militar.

Fica patente que o referido ato normativo atende a outros valores que não estão mais vigentes em nosso Estado Democrático de Direito.”

Gilmar Mendes, 19/8/2026 (após Flávio Dino e Alexandre de Moraes defenderem a volta da obrigatoriedade do diploma):

“Podemos discutir, sim, se de fato se entender que há aí algum comprometimento na qualidade de informação.

Não me parece que vamos ter um juízo definitivo a partir desses fatos e dessas circunstâncias, que são graves, ocorridos no Estado do Maranhão.”

Em outras palavras:

Está claro que a volta da exigência de diploma de curso superior em jornalismo para o exercício da profissão teria uma finalidade de simples entendimento: afastar dos meios de comunicação intelectuais, políticos, artistas e blogueiros que se opõem, ou simplesmente revelam verdades inconvenientes, à Junta Suprema.

Fica patente que o referido retorno atenderia aos mesmos valores da ditadura militar, em detrimento daqueles vigentes, em tese, no Estado Democrático de Direito.

Um dos maiores lixos que eu já vi na vida

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

It means that she is unable to sustain a relationship because she has been too psychologically damaged by child stardom.

Getting far less than you deserve is a crisis everyone is familiar with, if they were born in America after 1970.

But getting far more than you deserve is its own kind of crisis.

Imagine if, starting in primary school, someone had paid you multiple millions of dollars to act in series of high-budget school plays, and spent more millions of dollars to publicize you around the globe and tell everyone from New York City to Bangladesh what an amazing talented special person you are.

That would set your baseline for what constitutes approval. Except, since you are probably of average or slightly above average IQ and agency, nothing you could possibly do would ever achieve that level of success on your own.

And so you would be stuck between two horrific possibilities. Either your entire life's work has nothing to do with you, and you are nothing but the beneficiary of outrageous good fortune, or you are a special talented shining star who deserves to be the darling of the world, and everyone suddenly stopped noticing that when you hit 25 or so.

How could such a person possibly have a healthy relationship?

How could such a person possibly do anything but stumble through life narcissistically seeking public praise and attention like a junkie searching through the couch cushions for an unsmoked crumb of meth?

If I manage to drag myself through second-novel-syndrome, get the sequel out, and sell a million copies or something ridiculous like that, I'd be overjoyed. But it wouldn't destroy me, because I did it through own efforts, and so if I could do it once, I could do it again.

But nothing Emma Watson could ever do would bring her as many eyeballs as @jk_rowling brought, merely because she coincidentally looked and sounded like a fictional character in a children's book, and had decent, if unremarkable, acting skills.

Joanne Rowling made Emma a star, but I don't think she did the kid any favors, in the long run.

In pre-modern Europe, church choirs and the operatic stage drove a trade in the castration of little boys, to produce singers with a high-pitched voice paired with the lung capacity of a man.

The modern West regards this as a barbaric practice, but we have castrati of our own, children who are allowed to grow into miserable, emotionally stunted adults so that we can make our modern equivalent of opera... films with child characters.

In the audiobook for my first novel, "Theft of Fire", I have a child character. But she is played by @toss_across, who despite her frequent moments of playful silliness, is very much an adult.

She doesn't have to look like a child, she just has to sound like one, which is a skill that can be learned and mastered.

If generative AI-enhanced animation tools can bring about photorealistic films which are cheaper than live action, and live actors are replaced by voice actors forever, then I, for one, cannot wait.

The end of Hollywood megastardom, if not a bonus, is at least a fair price to pay for ridding the world of this species of child abuse.

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

Eu iria fazer um documentário sobre as MAVs petistas e o início da maquina de moer reputações aqui com o Brasil Paralelo. Estava tudo bem adiantando em 2018 quando as MAVs bolsonaristas começaram a fazer o mesmo que o PT fazia nas redes. Eu disse então que o documentário deveria abordar as MAVs bolsonaristas tb e o @brasilparalelo disse na mesa pra mim que isso não iriam abordar no doc pois iria prejudicar a audiência deles e tinha patrocinadores deles que não iriam gostar disso. Tenho provas gravadas disso pra usar no meu futuro doc. Então desisti de fazer o doc com eles alí pois entendi tudo.

@BretWeinstein Atheism is an cathalyst to narcissism.

It quickly degenerates into paranoia, macchiavelism, psychopathy and sadism.

[𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐘 @X_Bill_Gl]

If you have Complex PTSD (CPTSD), your amygdala is hypersensitive due to past trauma. This means your brain reacts to small triggers, tone of voice, a sudden noise, a dismissive look, as if danger is happening right now. Your nervous system isn’t broken, it’s just overprotective. It remembers pain so vividly that even safety feels suspicious. 1/5

Anne Widdecombe - Brutally murdered in her home.
🔴 The left: «She had it coming! She had the wrong opinions!»

Charlie Kirk - Assassinated as he was on stage.
🔴 The left: «Let’s celebrate! He had the wrong opinions!»

Jason Arday - Committed suicide after he was exposed as a plagiarist and perpetual fraud.
🔴 The left: «He was lynched!»

And you wonder why we don’t believe in mainstream media anymore?

Elon Musk vient de faire un joli pied-de-nez à l'UE.

L'UE a condamné X à 120 millions € d'amende pour manque de transparence sur son algorithme.

X publie désormais son algorithme sur GitHub, avec une mise à jour toutes les 4 semaines.

Mais ce n'est pas tout :

X va aussi rendre publiques TOUTES les demandes de censure émanant des gouvernements, dont celles de l'UE (qui semble clairement en abuser).

La pression réglementaire européenne a peut-être produit plus de transparence que prévu...

Juste pas exactement de la façon dont Bruxelles l'imaginait. 😏
