Mafinha thanked a message from a counterpart and said he agreed with the diagnosis of the Brazilian industry. He stated that the economic opening promoted by Collor in 1990 occurred without the sector's preparation, that FHC kept the exchange rate appreciated and interest rates high, and that PT governments used BNDES to finance companies close to them while China expanded its presence in the market. According to Mafinha, the manufacturing industry represented more than one-fifth of GDP in the 1980s and was close to 12% when he wrote. Mafinha attributed the cost of labor to the burden of the State, not to the prosperity of the population. He said that Brazilian companies spent about 1,500 hours a year to settle taxes, a number he called a world record, and that real interest rates were among the highest on the planet. He also stated that the income from minerals and soy was intended for public funding, instead of investments. He advocated for a State that would reduce bureaucracy and invest in areas where, according to him, the private sector did not reach, such as defense, technology, infrastructure, and energy. He cited Alexander Hamilton, who, he claimed, defended the importance of manufacturing for national independence in 1791, and said that South Korea had formed its conglomerates in this way. As a Brazilian example, he mentioned Embraer, which, according to him, was born from ITA, a state project from the 1950s, and continued to compete on equal terms. Regarding identity politics, Mafinha said it had been imported, replacing the citizen with labels and turning politics into a zero-sum game. He also mentioned the transposition of São Francisco: he stated that the idea existed since 1847, during the reign of Dom Pedro II, and that the delivery of water took more than 160 years. When commenting on the sum "45 + 47 = 92," he said he would like to see it materialize, as long as the law applied equally to both sides. Without this condition, he stated, a crisis would make the equation revert to 45 against 47; with it, it would be possible to unite the country around family and the right to prosper through one's own work. Finally, Mafinha said that the Guaíra canyon had become a flat path due to being under the Itaipu lake since 1982. He described the project as having taken almost twenty years and stated that Itaipu remained one of the largest energy generators in the world. #Brasil #Economia #Indústria (translated)

Sarah Santaolalla asked Núñez Feijóo where his limit was and questioned why a political party had taken a video of a 17-year-old girl with underage friends during the festivities of a town.

The author said she understood the importance of respecting privacy, but she noted that the cultural context of each country should also be taken into account.

Pau heard Wings write that, in her opinion, the ARMY of Peru was made up of those who had been preparing projects for months since BTS's visit was announced. She said that some people had organized campaigns to protect the group's privacy and had dedicated time and money to prepare souvenirs for the members. She also claimed that a group she referred to disparagingly did not represent the fandom. The author said it hurt her to see her friends cry over what happened and to think that it was unknown whether BTS would return one day. She attributed the harm to selfish people and noted that she had left the situation in God's hands, as she believed that the malice or selfishness of others could not be controlled. Finally, she expressed her hope that the members knew that many people in Peru loved them, respected them, and had tried to take care of them. She also wished that the positive memories of what had been prepared for them would weigh more than what happened in the hotel. #BTS #ARMY #Perú (translated)

The fan site Olivia Rodrigo Brasil shared a statement from Olivia Rodrigo to The Hollywood Reporter, in which the singer said she felt protective of young fans. She stated that she felt a strong connection when she saw girls accompanied by friends or family in the audience and that she wanted to help, even in a small way, to make the world a safer place for them. #EmpoderamentoFeminino #Conexão #Música (translated)

The author claimed that Olavo de Carvalho argued that the right should occupy cultural spaces and institutions before coming to power, to prevent the left from dominating public and institutional opinion. According to him, the right took a long time to act, but the institutions themselves began to confront each other publicly, exposing what he called a pretense of harmony among the Powers. He wrote that, without the commodity boom and amidst public demands for favors and scandals that, according to him, involved even the highest court, the PT contested an election with the least political capital in its history. He said the party suffered a significant defeat, even in strongholds where it used to be the majority, and predicted that Lula would reach the second round morally and politically defeated, with few allies elected to the positions of deputy, senator, and governor. The author attributed part of this weariness to the popular perception of the institutions and the cost of what he described as an "institutional theater." He stated that workers, entrepreneurs, students, churchgoers, and consumers felt the effects in their wallets and daily lives. He also said that Lula could still win by a margin of 51% to 49% and appoint four more people he referred to as "emperors." Finally, he wrote that he did not consider politics a solution for the country, as he understood the problem to be spiritual. He said he observed what he called, quoting Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a "failing god," and concluded by asking for divine mercy for the nation. #Política #Direita #Lula (translated)

Isadora wrote that, if she were to be killed in the approaching period, she would have done her best to provide quality content and to be the best person possible in her projects. She stated that she could not change the opinion of those who wanted people like her to die and advised trans friends to protect themselves, describing the future as terrible. #transfeminismo #direitoshumanos #respeito (translated)

Pau said that the issue with the screens had discouraged her and that it seemed unfair to her that South America was not receiving the same stage as the rest of the tour. However, she stated that she had decided not to let that situation ruin the experience she had been waiting for for years. After having traveled several times to see BTS, she pointed out that this time the group would be going to her region and that her anger was affecting the excitement she felt. Although she still considered what had happened unfair, she said she would not allow them to take away her desire to enjoy. #BTS #Concierto #Sudamérica (translated)

Friends: On this occasion, I present to you my new book: People. The previous one, Greatness, is about the joy of living in a country with deep cultural roots, values, and spirituality. For this last one, I initially thought of naming it Glory to tell the also fruitful political history of Mexico. However, I decided, with the same purpose, to call it People, although the mere word may cause discomfort to some who forget that in a true democracy, the sovereign, the one who rules, forgive me for repeating it, is the people. With these two books, I conclude the foundation of what we call Mexican Humanism, a conception and alternative model applied by the Fourth Transformation movement, whose essence can be defined in one phrase: for the good of all, first the poor. https://t.co/O7kpIHMTcP #LiteraturaMexicana #Humanismo #CuartaTransformación (translated)

Explain to me, friends from Catarina, how we can be the majority and still be in such a Bolsonaro state? We need to fight for more rights for us and for more equality! Bolsonaro's ideology is against all of this, it despises us, subjugates us, and promotes an agenda against us. https://t.co/NUAiRjNcKN #DireitosDasMulheres #Igualdade #Bolsonarismo (translated)
