Brazil officials are looking into why rioters saw such little resistance ... - NPR

Authorities in Brazil are looking into how rioters who ransacked government buildings this weekend were able to do so with little resistance from police. More than a thousand protesters invaded the Supreme Court, the Congress and the presidential offices. The rioters support Brazil's former far-right president and believed false claims that the election was stolen. They hoped the military would step in and overthrow the government. We're joined now by NPR's South America correspondent, Carrie Kahn, who's in the capital, Brasilia. Hi, Carrie.

I'm Linda Holmes, and today, we're talking about realistic fiction we loved on POP CULTURE HAPPY HOUR from NPR. Joining me today are two correspondents from NPR's culture desk. First, we have Neda Ulaby.

What we don't know is just how these two processes – melting and movement – interact and ultimately impact how quickly sea levels will rise.

health

Maybe it's partly their problem, anthropologists (goaded by an NPR reporter with a stake in this) say. Maybe your peers obsessed with being on time are actually holding a narrow — and relatively newly established — perspective. Maybe they're off base in thinking that for time to be meaningful it needs to be productive, even billable.

The Hated, 'The Flux'

music

Inspired by the ingenuity of punk bands in both Washington, D.C., and its hometown, Annapolis, Md., The Hated began recording its own blistering music in the mid-1980s. The band felt kinship with the "Revolution Summer" acts from the nation's capital; together, their melodicism, impassioned energy and DIY ethos would constitute a new strain of post-hardcore that marked the beginnings of an enduring and polysemic genre now known as emo.
