"It is good that the cabinet is going to collect the money from the group that benefits from wealth growth. This proposal looks reasonable, there is no longer an increase in income tax. We tax income that is earned through sweat. Then it makes sense that income without sweat is also taxed." Economist Mathijs Bouman is positive about the proposal but sees a few disadvantages.

VASCO REJECTED €12 MILLION FOR ANDRÉS GÓMEZ AND IS SET TO INCREASE THEIR STAKE IN THE COLOMBIAN’S RIGHTS Andrés Gómez is another recent example of Vasco's stance in the market. During the last transfer window, according to reports, Vasco received a European proposal of approximately €12 million for the Colombian and decided not to negotiate. In addition to seeing potential for appreciation, the club understood that the striker still had much to offer on the field. Vasco has a contract option to acquire an additional percentage of Andrés Gómez's rights, and the tendency is that this option will be exercised. Andrés is adapted to Rio de Janeiro and is not in a hurry to return to European football. The Colombian is comfortable at Vasco, and at this moment, a new transfer to Europe is not a priority for the player. (translated)

OECD Education Director Andreas Schleicher criticizes the Austrian education system as backward in ZiB 2 and advocates for earlier support and a longer primary school education, as performance in mathematics and reading skills continues to decline according to the Pisa study. (translated)

Brazilian clubs have increased pressure against the MP that prohibits advertising for bets and have begun discussing the possibility of pausing the Brazilian Championship. The measure aims to pressure the Government for a transition period of 6 months to 1 year to end advertising contracts with betting houses, in addition to seeking greater support from the CBF. The articulation gained momentum after the boycott of the meeting with the Government. Sinafut, an entity linked to clubs and federations, also urged the STF to participate in the lawsuit filed by the betting companies against the MP, a movement interpreted by leaders as a possible entry of the CBF into the dispute. 📰 @marcrizzo - @Estadao 📷 Matheus Lima/Vasco (translated)
🚨 Now! Clubs are organizing a joint action in the STF requesting the end of the Provisional Measure that prohibited bets. The clubs are organizing to ask Minister Luiz Fux to allow them to participate in the process that questions the PM. The intention is to join the movement of the National Union of Professional Football Associations (Sinafut) in the action of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) and the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR). The request will be for the suspension of the PM. The clubs considered individual actions, but they believe that would be less effective and intend to act collectively to protect contracts for the entire activity, not just their own. The mobilization against the PM brings together bets, clubs, federations, and the CBF. (translated)
🚨 The union of clubs and federations asks the STF to suspend the provisional measure that prohibits bets or a 6-month transition. The National Union of Professional Football Associations (Sinafut), which represents clubs and federations, has asked Minister Luiz Fux to participate in the process against the MP. The entity wants to SUSPEND its effects until Congress decides on the matter or the STF judges the actions. If the suspension is not obtained, Sinafut requests a 6-MONTH TRANSITION before the prohibition comes into effect. Sinafut argues that the block will occur at the final stretch of competitions, when contracts generate more revenue. It also cites the budgets for 2027 and for the state championships that start in January. The union intends to join the action of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) and the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR), which are asking Fux for the immediate suspension of the MP. • VICE PRESIDENTS OF CBF ON THE SINAFUT BOARD The mobilization against the MP gathers bets, clubs, federations, and CBF. Two vice presidents of CBF are part of the Sinafut board: Ednailson Leite Rozenha, president of the Amazon Federation, and Ricardo Glock, president of the Para Federation. Felipe Feijó, president of the Alagoas Federation and son of the CBF's director of national teams, Gustavo Feijó, is also part of the entity. In addition to the clubs, CBF is also concerned about the losses caused by the MP. 🗞️ @JornalOGlobo 📸 Vítor Silva/BFR | Adriano Fontes/CRF | Marcelo Gonçalves/FFC | Matheus Lima/CRVG (translated)
Very well, Mrs. Racist, we are happy for you. But why don't you want to answer the question I asked you three times? It interests many high school students. "Do you think it's normal that high school students don't have math, French, or science teachers for their return?" The rest we don't care about. (translated)
Researchers proved AI has deleted every reason universities exist. Harvard University ran a controlled experiment pitting a custom AI against their own top-tier classrooms. And the results are going to collapse the higher education bubble. They took 194 undergraduates and split them up. One group learned physics in one of Harvard’s best hands-on, active-learning physical classrooms. Group work. Instructor support. The premium university experience. The other group went home and learned the exact same material with an AI tutor. The AI didn't just win. It embarrassed the institution. Students using the AI learned more than twice as much as the students in the elite Harvard classroom. They scored 30% higher on the final assessment. And they did it in less time. Let that sink in. A piece of software sitting on a laptop outperformed a world-class faculty in one of the most elite learning environments on Earth. Universities have always justified their exorbitant tuition with two things: access to elite knowledge and the physical classroom experience. This study just proved both of those moats are gone. When software can teach you complex physics twice as well as a $60,000-a-year institution, the math of higher education breaks permanently. The AI didn't just give the students answers. It used strict pedagogical guardrails. It guided. It questioned. It forced the students to do the cognitive work. It offered perfect, one-to-one tutoring, personalized to the exact moment a student misunderstood a concept. That level of attention is mathematically impossible to scale in a physical lecture hall. For a thousand years, the university was the only place to get a premium education. Now, it’s the bottleneck. If AI can double your learning speed for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are students taking on decades of debt to pay for? https://x.com/thesupermannx/status/2104519995292344521
