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.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting in today’s presidential runoff, moving the close of polls from 5pm to 7 pm Brasília time.

It is my considered opinion that, all consideration of bigotry aside (both the texts and the authors), Harry Potter is jejune and clichéd, remixing and recycling tropes that were already tired by the 1950s.

something i don’t see discussed much is that even if it wasn’t stained with bigotry, harry potter is something you probably should’ve just like… grown out of at some point, rather than integrating it into your adult identity

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

nothing funny about dysphoria. he needs gender affirming care. this current administration doesn't have the will or ability to care for our most marginalized citizens. when im in charge, people like Sonic will be able to get the therapeutic and medical care they need after i blast them with my beam

Trans people get called extremists for saying “hey don’t watch a wizard tv show.” Meanwhile people out here literally calling for legislative bans on our existence are propped up as feminist icons. Really just shows how those who make people uncomfortable or disrupt consumption are vilified.

Please help me. I have until the end of the month to make enough to not go homeless with my mother and siblings while having declining mental and physical health, having to stop treatments to try and pay bills. I wanna be able to keep on working, and eventually work on my own projects.

So I've been trying hard to soldier on and get work done as normal, but the truth is my mental and physical health have been beyond hard to manage. I haven't been able to get work done in a timely fashion, and I can't afford breaks. Any help is greatly appreciated. 💙 ko-fi.com/A714PA6

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Having seen this in theaters I can confirm this is absolute cinema, we are so back

The first brand-new MST3K episode STING OF DEATH is available right now, immediately, at once, other words to indicate that concept! If you missed it in movie theaters, now’s your chance. You can also order a package of this plus the three next eps in various formats, as they come out. Enjoy!

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

People don't believe me, but I'm TELLING you, there MUST be an active campaign strategy happening in media published by WB or other parts of JK's team trying to force HP awkwardly and unnaturally into public consciousness. Certainly from the WB side, I've seen multiple properties doing it already.

Scholastic sent me a whole box of paperback copies of Sorcerer’s Stone that I sure didn't order. When I asked why, my rep told me they're sending complimentary giveaway copies to random schools that do Book Fair.

Using AI is almost certainly harmful to us cognitively, emotionally, creatively, and socially. We should not use it. We should not normalize it.

obviously the media is a joke but the reason theyre not covering this is because democrats arent making it an issue the media would do it. they would. they’re lazy and they just want to go “the other side is saying this thing, how do you respond?”

imagine if the mainstream media covered Republicans' number one donor — the biggest political donor in US history! — and his controversial views with as much scrutiny as they covered Hasan Piker's

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.
