Lula has won a fourth term in spite of Meta, after Brazil’s electoral court had to order platforms to stop throttling his reach while they boosted his Trump-backed opponent. Big Tech tried to rig this but the Brazilian people had the final say ✊

Legal and Con Estimates today, I’ll be asking: 🔎 Why the NACC has still never held a public hearing ⚖️ The Brereton reports that were never released 🎙️ How private court recordings were offshored ❌ How new hate laws are being used against Palestinians

We’ve reported on how easily people have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places. That led us to an experiment: If the hurdles to open a school were so low, could we do it? And what would we learn along the way?

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

Today’s Tingle. Too many western countries are silent on the far right government in Israel that is openly speaking about a ‘Greater Israel’ that involves invading and taking over several other countries, or parts of them. Like Germany in 1939 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

🇮🇱 Clashes are breaking out in Israel between Orthodox Jews and Zionist authorities. Scenes many people never expected to see. Religious Jews protesting against Israel that claims to speak in their name. Judaism and Zionism are not the same.

Apples are generally red, green, yellow, but if the right geographical conditions are met, they can apparently grow dark purple, almost black. These rare apples are called Black Diamond and they are currently only grown in the mountains of Tibet. Original post

Department of Finance extended its temporary pause on new KPMG contracts to February 2027. This isn't dealing with the issue. When will Labor show some backbone & call these marauding cowboys to account? When will Labor acknowledge the evidence & ban KPMG? tinyurl.com/mrpp9473
