Deconstructing DisneyWALL-EEpisode SummaryErin and Rachel travel 700 years into the future to discuss WALL-E (2008), Pixar’s robot romance with an unintentionally anti-capitalist message.

O AssuntoEmendas PIX: o grande cabo eleitoralO índice de reeleição de prefeitos ficou em cerca de 80% nesta eleição. E o cabo eleitoral mais determinante foram as emendas parlamentares.

No início do mês, o ministro do Supremo Flávio Dino suspendeu o pagamento dessas emendas, que já passaram de R$ 4 bilhões apenas neste ano; uma decisão que ainda irá passar pelo plenário virtual do STF, mas que já fomenta...2024-08-1430 min
