Obligatory shoutout for The Dawn of Everything, which explores the current findings regarding the "agricultural revolution", among other things of prehistoric civilizations. Fucking amazing book

I rewatched some Tiny Toons episodes a while back, and thought that overall they held up well, ignoring the dated references. Animaniacs held up better, but the references still show their age.

If I'm not mistaken, He-Man was the one that started the boom of "cartoons that are actually 20 minutes of ads for a toy line", all thanks to the amazing profits that George Lucas was making off the toy rights of Star Wars.

Bucky o'Hare's characters were designed after the toys, ensuring that any holes a kid would see in the toys was also there in the cartoon. These holes were usually on the soles or hands to attach accessories.

The majority that defend homeschooling do so on pure ideological grounds. They accuse schools of indoctrinating kids, but they want to personally ensure their kids are indoctrinated the way they (the parents) deem correct. "Sex is evil! Women should submit to men! is pure evil! Never question me!" - these parents should NEVER homeschool their kids.

There are very few situations where homeschooling would be better for the kid over traditional schooling, and those situations are usually remedied with the school getting its shit together and being at least decent.

The school can't always get better though and can even be harmful to kids, due to bad teachers, bad staff, bad classmates or general precarious conditions, especially if the kid has any sort of special need (autism, down's syndrome, etc). Changing schools isn't always an option, whether due to distance or cost of moving back and forth every day, and that's usually when homeschooling should be done.

Step 1: be rich. Like, rich enough that you could buy twins into doing that and still have money left to keep them

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

Podcast longo, quase 2 horas, de Atila Lamarino com João Magalhães, falando sobre o "colonialismo dos dados", como as big techs estão dominando o mundo. A intro é bem longa, pra contextualizar bem o podcast pra quem tá mais por fora das notícias de tecnologia.

Uma das frases soltas que achei muito interessante, "No ano de nosso senhor 2025, eu preciso estudar a Companhia das Índias Orientais pra entender como as big techs hoje estão funcionando"

Outra coisa interessante que conversam é como Whatsapp virou, efetivamente, parte da infraestrutura de comunicação do Brasil, e por isso é praticamente impossível conseguir colocar qualquer alternativa no lugar.

Greeks and Romans would frequently curse anyone they didn't like, writing it as a curse on a lead sheet, roll it up and pierce it with a nail and put in a specific place, depending on the curse.

Given the amount of such tablets found, they probably cursed someone every other week.

I was looking for youtube alternatives and came across this site. Looks like a good place to post shitpost videos and all other sorts of crazy stuff.
