The Starlight Children's Foundation is accepting donations on Eric Bauza's behalf, who was fundraising for the charity before he passed. It would be wonderful if you could donate or spread the word donate.starlight.org/fundraiser/7...

“Flávio has given up,” a Bolsonaro family adviser told The Washington Post. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week, and that he may have a long prison term ahead”
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Lula:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world.
We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it.
ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM
It's another day, so let's talk about this.
First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.
Small thing I was disappointed with near the end of my Azure Moon FE3H playthrough: Manuela doesn't have a special combat dialogue with Death Knight. Everyone else you'd expect gets some, even Seteth, but I guess she was too nervous to talk shit to his face or something, haha.
Eric Bauza always seemed like a good guy, and it's apparent to anyone that he was a great actor. The fact that he was willing to publically fight for the release of stuff like Coyote VS Acme when he could have stayed quiet left me with a great opinion of him. Very sad that he died so young.
Eric Bauza wasn't just an incredible actor. He fought for all of us, for the preservation of art, to see that real art got to shine, even in the face of corporate greed. The importance of him using his platform and his voice for the betterment of art cannot be understated.
Goodnight, sir.
i hope that people in other countries can learn from how we organized and came together to stop the fascist from taking power, even in the face of a coup.
i've seen a lot of international talk on the bus issue from this afternoon, but one thing i haven't seen much talk about is what we did in face of it: we organized ways for voters to give each other rides to the polls! not just cars but even motorcycles, bikes! this was the people's doing!!
A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL!
Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred!
May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them
NEVER BEFORE IN BRAZILIAN HISTORY A CANDIDATE THAT LOST THE FIRST ROUND WON THE ELECTIONS.
IN THESE 3 WEEKS BETWEEN ROUNDS WE LEARNED THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.
IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE BRAZILIAN LEFT ORGANIZED ITSELF INTO AN INCREDIBLY WELL COORDINATED POPULAR MOVEMENT AGAINST THE BIG TECHS, THE ELITES, THE ORGANIZED CRIME, THE EVANGELICALS AND THE US.
ALL POWERS ARE FIGHTING US AND YET WE CAME TOGETHER.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
NON BRASILIANS FROM BSKY WE NEED YOU TO SPREAD THIS MESSAGE.
THERE'S A COUP D'ETAT HAPPENING IN BRASIL RIGHT NOW!
THE PEOPLE POWER GOT SO STRONG THEY TOOK DIRECT ACTIONS TO SABOTAGE THE ELECTIONS
SPREAD. THE WORD. NOW.
The more I re-read them, the more I like the Sonic comics written by Mike Gallagher. He mentions in the foreword to this collection that he went through a process of getting to know the characters beyond the short blurbs the rights holders gave him, and it really feels like he took that seriously.
OUR DM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A POLYCULE WAS HE'S BEEN TELLING PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND GAME WITH HIS POLYCULE!! HE'S A DALLAS REAL ESTATE AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
