    .oO outro dia me contaram de um corretor de imóveis tão desesperado pra fechar uma venda que ligou mais de 30 vezes por dia, por uns dias, pro advogado do dono.  o jurista pediu pra sair: "não dá, é um inferno, parece até corretor automático!"

    holy gnu!  the first movie in The Terminator series has an opening scene in 2029, but the action is in 1984.  that's 40 years ago!  the title in pt-BR is "the terminator from the future", but in another 5 years, it won't be from the future any more
    we're currently at year 5 b.S.
    that was supposed to mean 5 years before Skynet, but with all the shitterbots in action ATM, it's not at all unreasonable to say that we're living in the b.S. era

    .oO I can't make up my mind on whether Pacino is a good name for an AI system.  AI Pacino looks great and familiar in a sans-serif font, but it's also a little off, which is just as expected of shitterbots

    bateu saudade da arte do edukrieger, que há tempos eu não acompanhava, e assim calhou de eu escutar esta paródia anti-racista justamente hoje, dia da consciência negra
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQkcbRqxfLE
    argh, desculpe pelo link pro youtube, ainda não entendo como isso aconteceu, considerando que comecei com uma playlist no invidious.
    por favor use mpv pra tocar, ou vá por alguma instância do invidious, pra cair nas garras do monstro youtube

    .oO a transposição do rio são francisco foi planejada e executada durante governos lula e dilma, mas a transposição do negro, do solimões e do amazonas pra região sul foi armada (sic) durante o desgoverno bolsonaro.  o resultado a gente vê agora :-(

    .oO withdrawing humanitarian support to the Palestine West Bank because of Gaza Strip-based Hamas' terrorist attacks is about as ignorant as withdrawing support to Ukraine because of Ireland Republican Army's terrorist attacks

    .oO huh, I'd failed to update the gnu30 logo to gnu40 on my home page!
    a bit late, but I've done it.  hopefully it won't stay there for 10 years
    as in, I hope I update it to gnu50 before the anniversary ;-)
