Ainda sobre TV. Nos noticiários, os pobres não tem sobrenome. Para compensar, são chamados de dona (Sebastiana) e seu (José). Já os ricos tem, além do nome, direito a todos os sobrenomes. Exemplo: Anna Christina de Melo Silveira Borges.

Does Hollywood hate adults?

Is Hollywood’s business model failing because it’s almost exclusively focused on teenagers and young adults, and largely ignores moviegoers over 30?

 There’s an entire adult demographic out there who would be happy to go to the movies every damn week, if there were something they wanted to see. Generally there isn’t, so they stay home and watch “Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Good Wife” and so on.

I have this gnawing suspicion that tentpoles, the majors’ flagship movies, have stopped being the best advertisement for movies. In fact, they may be having the opposite effect.
Today’s tentpoles are to movies what Thanksgiving is to dinner — nice for a special occasion, but not something you’d want to have every week … My colleague Peter Debruge puts it another way. He observes that with so many entertainment options available, tentpoles are designed to overdeliver — to be bigger, louder, longer and longer — just to get people into the multiplex and leave them feeling they got their money’s worth. The resulting movies are as rich and heavy as a super-sized meal at McDonald’s.

Why is it that Hollywood doesn’t get that message? With each passing year, they churn out more and more product that is entirely geared toward teenagers, while simultaneously fretting about how that audience is no longer interested in going to the movies. They spend more and more marketing dollars trying to get the attention of an audience that has an attention deficit, while simultaneously raising admission prices until they have put tickets out of reach for the very audience they are trying to capture.

It’s a symptom of the fact that Hollywood remains trapped in an old, inflexible business model based on Gigantor-size spectacles — in an age when everything else about the culture has gotten more niche-oriented and individualized — but hasn’t yet faced a big enough crisis to force major change.

Confissões de uma ex-funcionária do Facebook

No melhor estilo fraternidade, o Facebook adota a política “ou você segue a nossa linha ou cai fora”. É uma quase religião. Funcionários recebem subsídios para morarem perto da sede do Facebook e assim poderem trabalhar mais vezes até tarde. Sair mais cedo não é bem visto. Publicar pouco no Facebook também não. Falar mal da plataforma, nem pensar.

Da mesma forma que a Casas Bahia se apresenta ao mercado como uma loja de móveis, mas é uma financiadora; ou a Boticário, que se expõe como uma perfumaria/cosméticos, mas, na realidade, está no mercado de presentes, o Facebook caminha para ser uma empresa de dados, mas que se apresenta ao mercado como uma plataforma de rede social.

Fukushima as Manufactured Disaster

 They may not live in castles anymore, but the glass-plated skyscrapers that tower over the great cities of the world, in faceless anonymity, still signify the imperious domain of the ruling elite.  It is from these places, not the featureless depths of the earth’s roiling crust, which were the decisive cause of the triple nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant on 11^th March 2011.

Contrary to all the talk about “an unforeseeable event” from governments around the world and nuclear apologists of the left and right, the nuclear meltdowns, with all their untold and long-term consequences for the physical and mental health of the people of the region, were entirely preventable if the corporation which operated the plants, TEPCO, or the government bodies charged with regulating the nuclear industry, NISA and METI, had taken the appropriate safety precautions:


Ultimately, we get to the heart of the matter: “As the nuclear power business became less profitable over the years, TEPCO’s management began to put more emphasis on cost cutting and increasing Japan’s reliance on nuclear power.”

Penn Jillette Accuses Obama Of Class Warfare For Drug Policy

 Jillette, who has never done drugs or drunk alcohol in his life, expressed particular concern over the policies' broad-sweeping, all-inclusive nature. Namely, that people are going to prison because of marijuana use.

Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana -- under the laws that he condones -- would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his 'weed' and 'a little blow,' he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it's not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up.

PALAVRAS: Marina Silva

Já estava combinado. Passada a exposição da Rio+20, as últimas salvaguardas ambientais seriam retiradas pelos tratores. Interrompe-se o processo de construção da governança socioambiental democrática e baseada em princípios, que havia avançado desde a Constituição de 88.

Arquiva-se a ideia de que os líderes políticos pudessem mediar os interesses entre a mentalidade produtivista predatória e as urgências das mudanças climáticas. Acaba também uma fase em que a ciência podia influenciar o debate e as decisões políticas. Tudo agora se reduz ao pragmatismo e às conveniências eleitorais
