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.

This is Canada’s path.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

Very grateful to my neighbor @elizabethjoh.bsky.social for helping me make sense of the world. Happy 100!

I really wish more of Silicon Valley would wake up to the fact that the backlash to this is going to be massive and the blast radius will impact many other companies as well.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

This is actually hilarious 😂 🤣 The man makes some valid points, tho Shark, at home just minding its business, then here comes this stranger

There's something very Republican in getting a quarter of a million dollars to torpedo someone's political career and deciding your dipshit kid can do the job.

These are the fourth US elections I've covered, and the Ohio governors' race has to be ugliest race within the ugliest cycle I've ever seen

"Don't leave the job half done, stick to the plan - vote National."

“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Make sure you’re enrolled to vote before the sun sets on Sunday! vote.nz

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

There are just six days left to enrol, but we are about 130k behind where final enrolment got to last time - when people could still enrol all the way through election day. It is becoming very hard to see this gap really closing in such a short time.

If you're one of these people ask yourself why they don't want you to vote, then enrol right away so you can cast the vote they're so afraid of.

What screwing our electoral scrum looks like in real time.

Excite!!! Only 9 days until the Kawaiicon 4 festivities kick off, with Kākācon and Girl Geek Dinner next Thursday, then the main con days are Friday and Saturday. A reminder to check out the news page, which has info on pre-reg, hallway con events and the livestream: kawaiicon.org/news/

Put in the context of @greens.org.nz having 85% less funding than ACT that their popularity is double & their election campaign is slaying it. Phenomenally positive & pragmatic campaign.

Democracy idea: An independent unit for enforcing breaches of bottom lines

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

Financials aside, this is a great line

You Can See Everything is wonderful. My favorite documentary made in the last twenty years. It's beautiful and strange, much like Nathan.

Roses are red. Tires are flammable...

This is incredible

The whole point of TOP is the big promise to start the conversation on tax reform. Without that, what is the point of them?

Game over. We can give up on substantial tax reform for at least another three years then. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/opportunit...
