A gaia ciência do passinho

O passinho é atualmente a forma mais contemporânea da nossa poderosa cultura popular, ao menos no Rio. Toda forma internaliza a história, e a forma do passinho é a que contém mais elementos irredutíveis do agora: a associação com o mundo cibernético, o desdobramento do funk (que por sua vez substituiu o samba como forma popular contemporânea), a mistura de gêneros estrangeiros do momento, e, se posso arriscar, a mudança de signos no que diz respeito às relações sociais e urbanas no Rio. Esse último ponto traduz-se melhor assim: se o funk era a forma da época da presença dominadora do tráfico nas favelas, o passinho é a forma que traduz a mentalidade das UPPs, as Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora, que lhe são rigorosamente contemporâneas

Margaret Atwood on Ray Bradbury: the tale-teller who tapped into the gothic core of America

 At the age of 12 – as he tells us on his website – he had a definitive encounter with a stage magician called Mr Electrico. This was in the age of travelling circuses and the like, and Mr Electrico had a unique act: he sat in an electrified chair, thus in turn electrifying a sword he held, with which he in turn electrified the spectators, making their hair stand on end and sparks come out of their ears. He electrified young Bradbury in this manner, while shouting, "Live Forever!" The child had to go to a funeral the next day, a close encounter with death that led him to seek out Mr Electrico once more to find out how this living forever thing was to be done. The old carney showed him around what used to be called the freak show – complete with a tattooed man who was later to morph into the Illustrated Man – and then told him that he, Ray, contained the soul of Mr Electrico's best friend, who had died in the first world war. You can see how all this would have made an impression. Right after his baptism by electricity at the hands of Mr Electrico, Bradbury started writing; nor did he stop until his own death.

Sport v human rights

Sports journalist and historian Mihir Bose contrasts the lip service paid to civil rights by sport officials over the last 150 years of modern sport to actions taken. Of all sporting associations, it is the rhetoric of the IOC that bears least relation to reality, he writes.


 "Sports administrators may present themselves as the Vatican of sport, beyond the control of any authority but their own. Yet the money needed to run modern sport means they have to compromise with dubious governments and regimes. The result is that the high moral purpose of sport is sacrificed if not totally ignored. And until sport can deal with this basic contradiction, problems such as Bahrain will continue to appear. The worrying thing is that few in sport seem willing or able to deal with it."

She held me so tight, it was hard for me to stand
Built like a lumberjack, I couldn’t understand
If she was a woman or a man

Que o Laerte nos perdoe…

"Conhecemos muito bem toda a sua trajetória artística, desde a época do Pasquim e da Istoé, passando pelas tiras do Condomínio na Folha de S. Paulo, as revistas Circo, Strip Tiras e Piratas do Tietê, do Overman na Cybercomix. Lemos todos os seus livros, e até mesmo acordamos cedo para assistir TV Colosso e ficar tentando adivinhar quais piadas eram as suas.


 Lemos e assistimos a todas as entrevistas que você deu nos anos recentes, e sabemos quantas vezes você teve que responder as mesmas velhas perguntas sobre como é ser travesti e de onde você tira idéias para fazer seus quadrinhos.


 Fizemos, inúmeras vezes, parte do côro enfadonho e persistente que insiste em chamar-lhe de gênio, maior quadrinista do Brasil, e devaneios do tipo."

Anderson Cooper: "The Fact Is, I'm Gay."

 I've always believed that who a reporter votes for, what religion they are, who they love, should not be something they have to discuss publicly. As long as a journalist shows fairness and honesty in his or her work, their private life shouldn't matter

 Recently, however, I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something - something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.

I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.

The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.

Albernaz, o capitão que socou o rosto de Dilma Rousseff, em 1970 - O Globo

O capitão Benoni de Arruda Albernaz tinha 37 anos, sobrancelha arqueada, riso de escárnio e fazia juras de amor à pátria enquanto socava e quebrava os dentes da futura presidente do Brasil Dilma Vana Rousseff, na época com 23 anos

Albernaz era conhecido por se divertir dizendo aos presos que, por ser muito burro, precisava ouvir respostas claras. Tinha na sala um telefone de magneto que era usado para “falar com Fidel Castro”, metáfora para a aplicação de choques elétricos, segundo relato de Elio Gaspari no livro “A Ditadura Escancarada”.
“Quando venho para a Oban, deixo o coração em casa”, explicava às vítimas

When you wear that real tight sweater
You know I can't resist
It's been that way forever baby
Ever since we kissed
Roll down all the windows
Turn up Wolfman Jack
Please, please love me tender
Ain't nothin wrong with that
Let's go get lost

Dogs That Look Like 'Mad Men' Characters | UPROXX: 

Are Spain really kiling football ?

There is subtlety to the argument that a team of artists, setting out to win through pure creativity, can be as a negative force in the game. By setting out to monopolise possession of the ball, and achieving an unprecedented degree of success, Spain's world champions could be seen to be squeezing the life out of the idea of football as a competitive endeavour.

 There is also the question of the texture of their play, which cannot be separated from their near-monopoly of possession but in some ways adds an even more powerful element to the complaints of their critics. There is a soft, frictionless quality to the style known as tiki-taka which makes it feel as though Spain are playing in carpet slippers and which robs the game of the explosive, percussive element that has always been a part of the game.
