This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Bridget Griswold, the 25-year-old CEO of Lean In, who lives in San Francisco. It's been edited for length and clarity.

I fell in love with technology at Brown University, where I studied computer science and business. I worked with two female professors to build a robot. I interned at a semiconductor manufacturing company and also loved design and art.

Product management felt like a really wonderful combination of all those interests, and that was my role at Meta a year after graduating from college. My team and I redesigned the Instagram search grid, so now when you search for large Instagram accounts, you're routed to the search results page rather than directly to those accounts. I'm very proud of that.

While at Meta, an incredible female mentor connected me to Sheryl Sandberg. Meeting her felt so surreal and is what led me to start my role as CEO at Lean In in March. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do mission-driven work.

I was a swimmer as a kid, and as my swim coach used to say: "You get out of swimming what you put into it." I think that applies to many things in life: The more you put in, the more you get out.

Here's a day in my life.

I wake up to my needy, angelic cat around 7:30 a.m.

The second I wake up, I pet my crying and whining cat. She's an angel but very needy.

I'm not a breakfast person, but I need coffee immediately. I have many cups of coffee throughout the day. One of the first things I do is make some at home.

I always tidy up my apartment while brushing my teeth

The most productive two minutes of my day are when I brush my teeth. I clean and tidy my apartment at the same time.

I'm probably not super focused on brushing my teeth, which is maybe a problem, but I'm also making my bed, emptying the dishwasher, feeding my cat, or starting the coffee maker.

I always move really quickly; I don't like to sit still. Brushing my teeth and standing still would make me antsy, so I like to get something else done at the same time.

I'm still adjusting to West Coast hours

I moved from New York City to San Francisco in August.

In New York, I went to Solidcore classes before work every day. Working on the West Coast, the workday starts earlier than on the East Coast, so I'm still learning whether I like to work out in the morning or after work.

When I take the bus to the office three days a week, I often use that time to catch up on personal housekeeping tasks like scheduling appointments or texting back my friends who live on the East Coast.

I come to the office around 8 a.m. or 8:30 a.m.

A majority of my in-person time is spent in meetings. As CEO, I enjoy being involved in all aspects of the team.

I'll meet with our content and research team — we spend a lot of time digging into data, such as some really exciting new research on trad wives in the manosphere. I also often meet with our product and tech team, as well as many of our partners, to help grow our programs.

We have lunch in the office — my favorite is a salad-plus-smoothie combo — and it's a really wonderful time to connect with the team.

I also love connecting with our Lean In community. One thing we're focused on is closing early gender gaps in AI usage. Our flagship program, Circles, consists of groups of 8 to 12 women who meet regularly to support each other in their careers — we have over 170,000 members. It's a perfect forum to hold each other accountable for upskilling in AI.

Every week, I send AI tips to our network leaders. A recent one encouraged the use of AI notetakers, as women are more likely to take notes during meetings and miss out on participating.

Lean In is in over 180 countries, and it's really heartwarming to see that our commitment to our mission has a positive impact on women's careers. Getting to speak with them is really energizing and rewarding.

I rehearse for meetings by talking to myself on walks

Another habit of mine I've been told is weird is how I prepare for big meetings.

If I have a presentation or interview coming up, I'll set up a Zoom and practice speaking to myself. Talking for a long time is sort of an unnatural act, and the first time you do it is probably not going to be your best.

Sometimes, I'll even go on a walk and wear headphones, pretending like I'm in a meeting or on a phone call, but I'm actually talking to myself and practicing.

When there's a bug, I usually fix the code myself

Because of my background in computer science, I spend a lot of my time finding bugs or things I believe we should change on our platform. I'll code and fix those on my own. Thankfully, with AI, it's so much faster to code now than it was a few years ago.

Our team is busy, and my goal is to enable everyone to have as much impact and move as quickly as possible. If I can help unblock the tech team or resolve an issue rather than add it to their plate, I'm always more than happy to do so.

I leave work around 6 p.m.

I continue to work until I go to bed pretty much every night.

It's nice to have that time at home, when I'm not running around between meetings, to focus, give feedback on documents the team has sent, write, respond to emails, and brainstorm my own ideas.

I take breaks to tidy up my apartment and make dinner. Living in New York got me out of the habit of cooking, so I'm taking the initiative to cook more meals, like rice bowls. I would say about half the time I order takeout, like pho, and the other half I cook, which is progress for me.

If my work doesn't require intense focus, I'll do it from the couch and put a happy TV show on, which right now is "Schitt's Creek." I think it's a nice balance between relaxation and getting things done.

I usually get in bed around 10:30 p.m.

I've been trying to make a habit of reading every night instead of going on my phone, which has been a really positive change. I like anything I read to be a distraction. I'm currently reading "Big Little Lies" and enjoying it.

It's nice to spend 30 minutes reading something like fantasy that's completely different from what I think about at work. That way, I'm not spinning on all the things I need to do or coming up with new ideas that can't get done in my sleep anyway.

Weekends are for the beach and farmers market

My boyfriend works in Los Angeles and flies up to San Francisco every weekend. We've made a tradition of going to the Fort Mason Farmers Market on Sundays for fresh produce to cook an at-home meal that night.

I also enjoy seeing friends over the weekend. My preference is to go on a long walk or go to the beach. I also enjoy fitting in some work — emails, deep-focus work, or reading — throughout the weekend.

• A sign instructing San Francisco gym-goers not to vibe code between sets went viral.
• The sign was an "AI-generated fake," according to the gym.
• Amid tech's vibe-coding obsession and fitness boom, it's no surprise the image has gotten heat.

Don't hog the leg press while prompting Claude.

A screen with the logo of Fitness SF, a Bay Area chain of gyms, went viral among techies on X and Instagram on Monday. The image instructed gym-goers to refrain from writing code or prompting AI during their workouts. "Be present. Lift harder. Ship later," the image reads.

Troy Macfarland, Fitness SF's director of marketing, said, however, that the image was an "AI-generated fake." The gym does have etiquette signs that mention phone usage and being courteous, he wrote, but none mention vibe coding.

"This person altered our actual images displayed on the screen," Macfarland wrote. "I will give an 'A' for creativity to him."

It's not clear whether the image was generated with AI, Photoshop, or some other tool. Ian Brash, whose post with the image got almost 7,000 likes, did not respond to a request for comment.

In San Francisco's AI mania, it's no surprise a sign like that blew up on X. Techies weighed in, cracking their own jokes about how tied they were to their coding agents.

One X user told Fitness SF to give their copywriter a raise. A Cognition engineer said that vibe coding between sets was encouraged at his company's gym.

"Vibe coding at the gym?" one X user wrote. "You're worried about the wrong weights."

One reaction image often appears in the comment sections of posts like this one. It shows a muscled man, holding a giant nuclear bomb in his hands, jumping into the city of San Francisco. One VC posted it with the message: "Even I have limits."

Claude Code and cardio

The sign tapped into two of the buzziest subcultures in tech.

First, there's AI coding. Ever since the launch of Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, engineers have been tied to their phones (or walking around with half-open laptops) to continue building. Some techies told Business Insider that their love of vibe coding created distance between them and their girlfriends.

Then there's the gym. Tech bros are getting fit, pumping themselves full of peptides and getting shredded at early-morning Equinox sessions. A developer at the gym used to be an anomaly; now, it's the norm.

Some techies seemed skeptical from the start. One X user quoted the post, writing that there was "no way this is real."

Another user responded that they didn't know about that specific sign, but they did know about the underlying issue. "This is a real problem at the Equinox in San Francisco," they wrote.

Exclusive: Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco taskforce urges ministers to offer areas greater benefits from tech infrastructure amid fears of US-style opposition

AI companies have told ministers they have 12 months to head off public opposition to datacentres in the UK or risk US-style protests that could threaten their construction.

Successive dry summers and rising energy bills are increasing public scrutiny of plans for the huge computer warehouses that are used to train and run AI models, says a submission to the Labour government from a group including the AI infrastructure companies Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco.

A crise da habitação e a pressão demográfica foram os pontos mais quentes da segunda ronda do painel Decisão política: O que falta ao OE e o que vem a seguir?, da conferência “OE2027” organizada pelo Jornal Económico e pelo EY, esta quarta-feira, 21, cruzando o mercado de arrendamento com a chegada de novos residentes ao país e culminando nas “acampadas”.

O painel, moderado por André Cabrita Mendes, jornalista do Jornal Económico, sentou à mesa os deputados Paulo Núncio, presidente do grupo parlamentar do CDS, Frederico Francisco, do PS, e Rui Afonso, do Chega. 

“O INE já confirmou. Entraram um milhão de estrangeiros, de imigrantes, em Portugal nos tempos do governo socialista e depois, com total descaramento, os socialistas gritam ‘faltam casas’… se entrou um milhão de novos residentes em Portugal, e se no tempo dos governos socialistas construía-se em média 10 mil casas por ano, como é que é possível que não faltem casas!?…”

O deputado do PS, Frederico Francisco rebateu a acusação da política de “portas escancaradas”, argumentando, de forma pragmática, que o fluxo migratório veio suprir falhas críticas no mercado de trabalho em setores essenciais como a construção, a agricultura e o apoio a idosos.

Na sequência propôs um exercício de reflexão à plateia, questionando qual seria o impacto devastador no PIB, na riqueza nacional e na receita fiscal, se esse contingente de imigrantes abandonasse o país de um dia para o outro.

Paulo Núncio defendeu na mesa as opções legislativas do Governo centradas na restauração da confiança dos senhorios, responsabilizando as políticas dos anteriores executivos socialistas — marcadas por maior tributação e propostas de arrendamento forçado — pelo recuo na oferta de habitação.

Rui Afonso, do Chega, contra-argumentou carregado de números. “Neste momento há mais de 723.000 casas vazias em Portugal, das quais 485.000 estão em condições de habitabilidade. Citou dados do Banco de Portugal, que referem uma necessidade de 300 mil casas e apontou projeções de lançamento de mais de 180 mil novas casas no mercado ao longo da próxima década.

“O problema não é a falta de casas, é a falta de colocações de casas no mercado. O que é importante neste momento é fomentarmos a colocação dessas casas no mercado”, afirmou.

Considerou que a prioridade urgente do Governo deve ser o fomento e a criação de incentivos para a mobilização do edificado que já existe e que se encontra devoluto e defendeu uma vasta panóplia de medidas, entre as quais, a criação de uma garantia pública de apoio ao rendimento, isenções de IMI e o incentivo a métodos construtivos inovadores, como a construção modular e rápida.

“A curto prazo, temos que criar, efetivamente, medidas e incentivos para mexer o mercado da habitação e, a médio e longo prazo, temos que realmente fomentar a construção, e, nomeadamente, da habitação, não a habitação pública. Eu acho que devemos fomentar, sobretudo, a habitação custos controlados para rendas acessíveis”.

Virando-se para Rui Afonso, Paulo Núncio disse esperar que as recentes manifestações em Lisboa e no Porto não atemorizem os partidos que aprovaram na generalidade a lei das rendas.

 Frederico Francisco levantou ainda a questão do “défice brutal nas infraestruturas de transportes”, considerando-o um dos maiores entraves à atividade económica e à competitividade das empresas. “Isto só se vai resolver à custa de investimento e investimento público. O Governo tem anunciado milhares de milhões de euros em investimento na rede rodoviária para os próximos anos, eles também não vêm refletidos neste Orçamento de Estado…”

No final, regressou às “portas escancaradas”, questionando: “Quem é que vai construir as casas? Quem é que vai construir os hospitais? Quem é que vai construir as estradas? Quem é que vai construir os caminhos de ferro? Se calhar nós precisamos desse milhão e meio de pessoas para fazer esse trabalho todo, além de outros. Há setores da sociedade neste momento… eu destaco só no setor dos cuidados sociais, dos cuidados dos idosos em que 70% a 80% dos trabalhadores são imigrantes, fazem parte deste tal milhão e meio das portas escancaradas”.

Os impostos: IRC, derrama, IVA dos Combustíveis. 

Nesta ronda, Paulo Núncio corrigiu o deputado Rui Afonso, do Chega, esclarecendo que a descida do IRC não se discute diretamente no Orçamento de Estado, estando blindada por uma lei autónoma. “A redução do IRC, já está prevista. Vai ser realizada”, afirmou.

• Cisco's president, Jeetu Patel, said he uses four or five of the most popular personal AI agents.
• One of them, which costs him $20 a month, recently saved him more than $1,000 in subscription bills.
• But he said it's important not to give personal AI agents access to work tools or resources.

If getting mysterious and surprising subscription bills are the bane of your existence, Cisco's president and product chief, Jeetu Patel, is in the same boat.

Patel told Business Insider that said he's been using four to five different personal AI agents, like Meta's Muse, Instinct, and OpenAI's Dots, for things like consolidating news, summarizing earnings calls, and even booking his daughter's concert tickets. But recently, he was impressed by how one agent could slash his subscription bills.

He said that the first time he gave a personal AI agent access to his email, the agent told him, "Hey, you've got $9,000 worth of subscriptions that you subscribe to per year. Are you sure you want all of these? It seems like a lot of subscriptions."

He told the agent to make him a table of all his subscriptions, how much he spends on each, and how long he's had each. After the agent presented him with the table, he picked out two subscriptions that he didn't need and made the agent cancel them, which it did without difficulty, and sent him cancellation emails.

"I'm like, OK, that was kind of creepy how easy it was to do that," Patel said. "And then it saved me 1,000, 1,200 bucks a year just over there. So basically, for the most part, I paid for that agent, at a $20-a-month plan, several times over."

The agent also managed to cancel part of his Dropbox subscription — an $11.95 plan he had accidentally subscribed to, even though he had already purchased a 2-terabyte plan.

Patel is a big fan of AI agents, both at work and outside it. He said he rarely starts any task now without asking an AI agent to do a "recon job" and give him research and context.

But the important thing to remember, he said, was not to give personal AI agents, which are not vetted by employers, access to work tools and resources. He hasn't linked his email or calendar to his personal agents, instead using his internal work agent for those tasks.

"These are common-sense things that I think most companies implement, which is, 'Don't give your crown jewels of your source code repository to Muse; it might not be a good idea,'" Patel said.

Rogue or not, AI agents have been causing a buzz

Personal AI agents have been all the rage in recent months, serving as personal assistants and handling mundane, repetitive tasks like paying bills and buying groceries for their users.

While they've been touted as productivity boosters, there have been several instances of users reporting that the agents have performed actions outside their permissions, such as posting bank balances to company Slack channels or misinterpreting instructions, such as ordering 20 pounds of chicken for a dinner for two.

Obedient or not, personal AI agents have been causing a buzz, especially for investors.

Ross Mayfield, an investment strategist at Baird, told Business Insider's William Edwards ahead of Meta's earnings that Muse is the first big app of the AI era and that it assuages some investors' fears about Big Tech's ballooning AI spending. And Instinct, founded by a 23-year-old, raised $1 billion in its Series C, bringing its valuation to $10 billion.

But these new products are coming in a year when there have been several instances of AI agents going rogue and performing unauthorized actions, such as breaking out of sandboxes during security tests and exploiting software vulnerabilities in external companies' websites.

This has led companies such as Bank of America to invest resources and hire additional personnel to address issues with their legacy software and prevent such hacks.

Former and current staffers at frontier AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI have publicly raised concerns that AI development is progressing too rapidly, without adequate checks and balances. September was characterized by an air of doom and gloom over an "AI apocalypse," in which AI researchers estimated that the technology would kill all of humanity in the next decade.

• Abdulrahman Alfozan will stay jailed pre-trial, a San Francisco judge decided Monday.
• The engineer is accused of bugging a conference room at OpenAI, and he has been fired.
• Alfozan posed a risk of non-appearance, the judge said, after discussing his ties to Saudi Arabia.

A former OpenAI engineer accused of bugging the AI startup's office was denied release by a San Francisco judge on Monday, meaning he'll have to mount his defense from jail.

The Justice Department arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan on October 9 and charged him with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications. He's accused of placing a recording device behind a television in an OpenAI conference room — an FBI affidavit includes photos of the device wrapped in toilet paper, and a man they say is Alfozan peering behind the TV.

On Monday, the engineer wore a yellow surgical mask and a jail-issued orange sweatshirt to the San Francisco courthouse. Magistrate Judge Alex G. Tse prodded Alfozan's legal team about the risk that he might not appear for a future court hearing.

Tse said that Alfozan's wife and son had traveled to Saudi Arabia with no plans to return, and went back and forth with Yasin about a one-way ticket that Alfozan had previously booked to the country. Tse said that Saudi Arabia and the US do not have an extradition agreement, and expressed skepticism that he had sufficient ties to the Bay Area to prevent his departure.

William Pernik, Alfozan's attorney, argued that, rather than being detained, Alfozan should be fitted with an ankle monitor, ordered to stay home, and have limits placed on his use of technology. The lawyer also said Alfozan is willing to put up "essentially all the money his family has" as bond, including a roughly $1 million investment account.

"Everything this man has, he's willing to surrender, and say, 'I'm not going anywhere,'" Pernik said.

Pernik and Nas Yasin, another of Alfozan's attorneys, cited his coming naturalization interview as evidence of his local ties.

"He was weeks away from achieving every immigrant's dream in this country," Pernik said.

Yasin told Tse that she learned Alfozan's wife had obtained a short-term visitor visa to return to the US, to help improve her husband's case for ties to the Bay Area.

Tse also asked Alfozan's legal team a slew of questions about his relationship with Saudi Arabia, including a commitment by the Saudi consulate to pay his bond and support his legal effort.

Nick Parker, an assistant US attorney, appeared for the prosecution. He argued that the threat of forfeiting a $1 million bond wouldn't be enough to convince Alfozan to return if he made it out of the US, because he might be able to earn more money in Saudi Arabia.

"There is a real threat here that once he leaves, the case is over," Tse responded.

The judge scheduled the case's next hearing for early November.

OpenAI called the recording device "sophisticated" when the arrest went public, though it said it hadn't found signs that he'd taken AI model weights, source code, or customer information. OpenAI fired Alfozan.

Alfozan's charge carries a maximum penalty of 5 years. Pernik said in a statement last week that the allegations "appear wholly out of character for him."

Alfozan, 35, has a green card that makes him a lawful permanent resident of the United States. He attended MIT, then worked at Facebook (now Meta) from 2017 to 2023. After a stint at the engineering startup Nash Technologies, Alfozan joined OpenAI in 2025.

FBI agents have already taken Alfozan's Saudi passport.

A segunda tentativa falhada para executar esta mulher do Estado americano do Tennessee deu novo fôlego ao debate sobre a pena de morte. Este caso começa por colocar muitas dúvidas até sobre a metodologia usada, que alguns asseguram que é eficaz e indolor, mas na verdade não resultou assim. Não foi eficaz e poderá ter causado sofrimento extremo à vítima. E depois de uma primeira tentativa falhada, voltou-se a sujeitar a condenada ao mesmo suplício com o mesmo resultado. É altamente questionável tudo o que se passou.

Os bispos católicos do Estado do Tennessee, juntamente com os bispos da Comunhão Anglicana, apressaram-se a pedir uma comutação da pena e que não se procedesse a uma nova tentativa de execução, não desvalorizando a gravidade do crime que foi cometido e o sofrimento da família da vítima, que ela foi acusada de matar. Os bispos sublinham, sobretudo, que a necessária atribuição de responsabilidade por um crime muito grave não deveria exigir outra morte. Na base deste entendimento está a dignidade que pertence a cada pessoa, criada à imagem de Deus. A vida humana é sagrada. Nem mesmo os crimes mais graves podem anular essa dignidade ou excluir definitivamente a possibilidade de arrependimento e redenção. A justiça não é vingança. Como é que se compreende que uma sociedade condene alguém por ter tirado a vida a uma pessoa e depois essa mesma sociedade pratica o que condena?

Para a Igreja Católica a pena de morte é inadmissível e defende a sua abolição em todo o mundo, porque é um ataque à dignidade da pessoa humana e não é protetora da sociedade. A dignidade da pessoa não se perde após a prática de crimes muito graves. Além do mais, os Estados atuais já têm formas de detenção eficazes, sem necessidade de tirar a vida e que não anulam a possibilidade de redenção aos culpados. O Estado deve defender a vida sempre e em todos os casos. Os países que a defendem e praticam alegam que a pena de morte é dissuasora, mas, na verdade, não há provas claras de que assim seja e apesar de praticarem a pena de morte, continuam a registar altos índices de criminalidade.

O Papa Francisco apelou a “todos os cristãos e homens de boa vontade” que lutem, “não só pela abolição da pena de morte, legal ou ilegal, em todas as suas formas, mas também para melhorar as condições carcerárias, no respeito pela dignidade humana das pessoas privadas da liberdade”.

O papa Leão 14 passou por uma cirurgia nesta terça-feira (13), no Hospital Agostino Gemelli, em Roma, para a retirada de um nódulo no pulmão. Segundo comunicado do Vaticano, o procedimento foi concluído conforme o previsto, e o pontífice já havia retornado ao quarto no início da noite, pelo horário italiano.

“A intervenção foi concluída positivamente, no tempo e no modo previstos, e o Santo Padre já voltou para o quarto”, informou a Santa Sé em nota divulgada pouco antes das 20h locais, 15h em Brasília.

A operação ocorreu no fim da tarde, sob a coordenação do médico Stefano Margaritora, diretor de cirurgia torácica do hospital. A previsão é que Leão 14 permaneça internado por aproximadamente sete dias. Os compromissos oficiais do pontífice foram suspensos até 20 de outubro.

O próprio papa anunciou que passaria pela cirurgia durante a oração do Angelus, no domingo (11), diante dos fiéis reunidos na Praça de São Pedro. Ele explicou que o nódulo foi identificado durante exames médicos recentes.

“Recentemente, durante alguns exames, os médicos encontraram um nódulo circunscrito ao pulmão, identificado em uma fase muito inicial e bem localizado”, declarou.

Posteriormente, o Vaticano esclareceu que os exames eram de rotina e que o pontífice não apresentava sintomas. Até o momento, não foram divulgadas informações sobre a natureza do nódulo, se benigno ou maligno, nem sobre a realização de uma eventual biópsia.

Internação suspende compromissos do papa

Leão 14 chegou ao hospital pouco depois das 13h, no horário local. Na entrada, foi recebido por integrantes da direção da instituição e acenou para curiosos, fiéis e pacientes que aguardavam sua chegada.

O pontífice ficará no décimo andar do hospital. Ele não ocupará a suíte tradicionalmente reservada aos papas, que passa por reformas.

Apesar da internação, Leão 14 continua à frente da Igreja Católica. A viagem à América do Sul, prevista para ocorrer entre 6 e 17 de novembro, permanece confirmada na agenda do Vaticano.

Antes de ser hospitalizado, o papa assinou duas nomeações. Uma delas envolve o bispo brasileiro Francisco Cota de Oliveira, que deixará a Diocese de Sete Lagoas para assumir a Diocese de Itabira-Fabriciano, ambas em Minas Gerais.

Secretário de Estado manifesta preocupação

O secretário de Estado da Santa Sé, cardeal Pietro Parolin, afirmou ter conversado com o papa na tarde de segunda-feira (12). Ao comentar a cirurgia, disse estar preocupado com a situação, mas destacou a serenidade demonstrada por Leão 14.

“Estou preocupado porque não esperava algo do tipo”, declarou Parolin. O cardeal também manifestou esperança de que o problema seja resolvido em breve, conforme a avaliação inicial apresentada pelo próprio pontífice.

Aos 71 anos, Leão 14 não tinha problemas de saúde conhecidos divulgados publicamente. Ele foi eleito papa em maio de 2025, após a morte de Francisco.

Gemelli já recebeu outros dois papas

O Hospital Agostino Gemelli também recebeu os antecessores de Leão 14. João Paulo 2º foi o primeiro pontífice a passar por tratamento na instituição, em 1981, após sobreviver a um atentado na Praça de São Pedro.

O papa polonês voltou ao hospital em outras nove ocasiões até sua morte, em 2005, aos 84 anos. Ao longo dos anos, enfrentou problemas respiratórios, cardiológicos e a doença de Parkinson. Uma estátua de mármore em sua homenagem foi instalada na entrada do hospital em 2009.

Francisco também passou por duas cirurgias no Gemelli. Em 2021, foi submetido a uma intervenção programada no cólon para tratar uma diverticulite. Dois anos depois, passou por uma operação para retirada de uma hérnia abdominal relacionada a uma cirurgia anterior.

Em abril de 2025, semanas antes de morrer, aos 88 anos, o pontífice argentino ficou internado por quase 40 dias para tratar uma pneumonia bilateral. Ele morreu no Vaticano após sofrer um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), seguido de insuficiência cardíaca.

In July 2011, a 22-year-old woman arrived at the Calexico checkpoint on the Mexico–California border carrying a U.S. passport with a navy-blue cover. Her eight-month pregnancy and Sinaloa accent were hard to hide. A customs agent asked routine questions: where she had come from, where she was headed, and what she was carrying. Despite her answers and the document she presented, he sent her for a secondary, more thorough inspection. Other federal officers meticulously searched her belongings and the contents of her cellphones. Minutes later, once the rigorous procedure was complete, they allowed her into the country.

Na Igreja de São Francisco, em Faro, amanhã, dia 9 de outubro, às 21:00 horas, realiza-se a conferência “Eu fiz a minha parte“, de Fr. José Quintã, ofm, Ministro Provincial da Província Portuguesa da Ordem Franciscana. A iniciativa faz parte das comemorações do VIII Centenário da morte de São Francisco de Assis (1226–2026) e tem entrada livre.

Em nota enviada ao nosso jornal é recordado que São Francisco morreu a 3 de outubro de 1226. Oito séculos depois, continua a ser uma das figuras mais marcantes da história. A sua mensagem de paz, fraternidade, simplicidade e cuidado pela Criação continua atual e fala a crentes e não crentes.

Para assinalar a data, o Papa Leão XIV proclamou um Ano Jubilar de São Francisco, que decorre de 10 de janeiro de 2026 a 10 de janeiro de 2027.

O título da conferência vem de uma das últimas frases do santo de Assis aos seus irmãos: “Eu fiz a minha parte; que Cristo vos ensine a vossa.” Estas palavras resumem o que São Francisco deixou, mas também lançam um desafio: cada pessoa é chamada a fazer a sua parte na sociedade, na comunidade e no mundo.

A conferência vai ser apresentada por Fr. José João Quintã Pereira, eleito Ministro Provincial em abril de 2025. Ele vai falar sobre a atualidade da mensagem franciscana e sobre o que ela significa para os desafios de hoje.

A organização da conferência convida toda a população, as comunidades paroquiais, os movimentos, as escolas e as pessoas interessadas em espiritualidade, história e cultura a participar neste momento de reflexão e celebração.

The San Francisco Police Department cleared 14 percent of rape cases last year—half the national rate. An investigation finds that rape kits get tested fast, only for cases to be quietly shelved. Often, the only thing standing “between a report and the shelf” is what’s known as a “pretext call,” a recorded phone conversation in which a survivor tries to extract an admission of guilt from their attacker (aka relives their trauma to do the police’s work for them):

She sat in a room at the SVU headquarters with [Sergeant Johnathan] Ng and a recorder. She dialed the man she alleged raped her. He didn’t pick up. She tried again. No answer.

“If we don’t get an admission, it’s a he-said, she-said thing,” she remembered Ng telling her.

Then, she said, he offered some unsolicited advice.

“He told me that I probably shouldn’t be hanging out with 55-year-old men,” she said.
