“The state came to massacre, it wasn’t a [police] operation. They came directly to kill, to take lives,” one woman in Penha Complex told the AFP news agency.
“There are people who have been executed, many of them shot in the back of the head, shot in the back. This cannot be considered public safety,” said 36-year-old resident and activist Raul Santiago.
Brazil’s Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski said President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is “horrified” by the scale of fatalities and surprised that such an operation went ahead without prior knowledge of the federal government.
Adding my own previous tags:
I’d sincerely appreciate it if non-Brazilians reblogged this. Media outlets all over the world (and especially in my homeland) will try to sweep this under the rug but the horror has spread nationwide. We call it chacina for a reason.
It would be of great help if other countries and their citizens held Brazilian politicians/figures of authority accountable. Or, at least, acknowledge very publicly that there's an ongoing effort by the Brazilian police force to exterminate black and brown people, especially in Rio.

"Your son will take your throne from you," they prophesized, spitting each word out of teeth clenched tight with hatred. Why they'd bother prophesizing such an event befuddles you; your son is literally your chosen heir, after all.
Years later, you realize what the prophets meant. For most of your life your son was your pride and joy; an academic, who would surely lead the kingdom into greater health and wellness. Until he committed the ultimate act of betrayal.
"You will not take my throne from me!" You cling to your grand chair so hard your knuckles turn white.
Your son sighs. "Dad. Dad it's lead-"
"Of course it's lead! It's a strong metal, signifying the strength of our country- this throne has been passed down the royal line for 300 years, 15 rulers before me-"
"That is not enough time for that many people!" Your son throws his hands up in the air. "Because it is lead! It is poisoning you! Didn't you wonder why grandpa died at 40?"
"Ah, pfoo! That's the ancestral curse."
"It's the throne! The throne is the ancestral curse!!!"
Caught the beginning of CR4ep3 livestream but fell asleep during it.. so now I gotta wait until Monday to see what happens. But I did wake up with this image in my mind, so I had to draw it :)
Did not anticipate these two being my favorite from the designs, but I am so intrigue. Love this dynamic for them.. or sorry that happened???

Just incredible.
20 Years ago Sony flung 250,000 bouncy balls down a San Francisco street to advertise the Bravia
They fired volleys of them from air cannons and caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage!

I really admire and have always been so grateful to [location scout] Patrick Ranahan. This was by far the most difficult location managing job I’ve ever been involved with,” said Fuglsig. “The fact that he managed to convince all the residents in all these neighborhoods to do this — I was very nervous about if we were gonna get a ‘no.’”
.....In addition to the mayor, he met with the Board of Supervisors and had to warn everyone living in the neighborhoods. “I said to everyone on the street, ‘We’re not sure exactly what’s gonna happen, but whatever we destroy, we will fix 10 times better,’” Ranahan said. Making good on the promise, the crew had a glass repair company on-site with replacement window panes for the inevitable damage.
The article talks about the behind scenes work. even the frog. It's good.

After scouring too many multiple sources (the burgeoning wiki pages, various articles, chatter, and the VOD itself), here is a chart of ALL the main player characters' relationships to Thjazi Fang, as best as I could determine them (so far).
Some of the NPCs, such as Wick's father or Uncle Emerald, are excluded for now. We have here the main PCs, their families as immediately relevant, and gradients for those who seem to have two major allegiances (one to Thjazi and one to their family) as of ep 1.
And also some lines for confirmed friendliness or beef lmao
Here's a link to the EFF page that contains this information:
On Android
With the release of Android 12, Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.
On iOS
To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking. You can set the “Allow apps to Request to Track” switch to the “off” position (the slider is to the left and the background is gray). This will prevent apps from asking to track in the future. If you have granted apps permission to track you in the past, this will prompt you to ask those apps to stop tracking as well. You also have the option to grant or revoke tracking access on a per-app basis.
Apple has its own targeted advertising system, separate from the third-party tracking it enables with IDFA. To disable it, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising. Set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position to disable Apple’s ad targeting.
