Gringo Democrats who demand Puerto Rico statehood and quote Wikipedia election results at me call me a loony sore loser or worse when I tell them that statehooders rig elections in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile in Puerto Rican TV, statehooders (and the pro-colony "populares" too) openly admit to it:

I just watched two Argentinian TV news reports about the rumor that Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the USA via Argentina or tried and they contradict each other. Second report (on TN) says the plane he was gonna flee on was grounded by authorities and that Flávio isn’t in Argentina

I made a spreadsheet to double check this and got the same numbers: "If Brazil used an Electoral College, Flávio Bolsonaro would have won last night despite his significant popular-vote defeat."

Conservative local governments are sabotaging the election in Brazil with unannounced fleet reductions or total shutdowns of bus service. In São Paulo 29% of buses haven't run. In Salvador's Águas Claras Terminal there were no buses service at all at noon (📹 @silasque on Twitter):

When you cook whatever random stuff you have in the fridge: Cuban black bean soup with andouille sausage, Siberian dumplings, kimchi, asparagus and labneh. I should buy kimchi more often

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

BREAKING: The hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau "will not move forward," the lead researcher says. “The solution is clear here: Take the money and vaccinate as many kids as you can,” @pauloffit.bsky.social told me: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

"Freelancers carry a disproportionate share of the risk in war zones." "43 of the journalists and media workers killed in 2024, more than a third of the total and a record high, were freelancers." "The following year was deadlier still." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Media #Labour #Genocide

mondoweiss.netThe outsourced risk: how newsrooms rely on Gaza's freelancers without protecting themFreelance journalists in Gaza are risking their lives to document the genocide, often with no protections from the news agencies that hire them and rely on their work.

None of this will teach Blue MAGAts not to support Puerto Rican statehooders

www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u... Herrera Velutini's family gave Trump's lawyer $50 million. This is perhaps the most egregious of the Trump admin's pay-for-pardons scheme. The fact he kept Puerto Ricans from seeing our governor in jail makes me hate him more.

JK Rowling’s transphobia has ruined Harry Potter. That is a shame, there was a real magic in the fantasy of it. As a kid, I always loved imagining going to private coed boarding school. Inheriting a big pile of money. Drinking non alcoholic beer. Owning a little slave guy

NEW: I have spent 9 months examining Louisiana's unique Justice of the Peace system, which hands down thousands of evictions a year and pays its judges almost entirely through filing fees they collect One earned over $400,000 last year Experts say the system is "blatantly unconstitutional"

The epidemic of Ebola - the 2nd largest reported and likely to become the largest ever - caused by Bundibugyo virus, is continuing to expand. I’m in Nigeria presently and unless an international response kicks into place, the current trajectory will continue with (many) more countries affected.

Not a great sign, but a lot will depend on the details here. For instance, if the patient really came from Uganda and not DRC via Uganda that suggests there is spread in the country that is being missed. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

Resumen de la muy seria falla de Internet hoy: se descubrieron claves secretas de eMudhra, una compañía que emite certificados criptográficos. Esto permite falsificar certificados e impersonar cualquier página web. Version simplista: una de las claves es 116 dígitos: 115 ceros y al final un 4

(En realidad es 384 bits: 381 ceros, un uno y dos ceros. O 48 octetos como lo presenta la imagen arriba; cada uno puede ser del 0 al 255, pero los primeros 47 son 0 y el ultimo 4.)

You can get antibody lab tests from your doctor to check if your earlier vax for MMR is still working. Which it likely is but I recommend reading up

last time I got my covid vaccine I had them throw in MMR just for funsies. I would recommend it :)

"Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)... is considering cutting 70% of its service and closing up to 15 of 50 stations, some 30%. Caltrain, the area’s leading local commuter rail system, could discontinue weekend service and shutter up to a third of its stations."

La tilapia dándole el baqueo a la privatización de uno de los parques nacionales más grandes de Puerto Rico 🫠 ¿Qué se puede esperar de él? Cuando raya fondo siempre encuentra un lecho más abajo.

FLÁVIO BOLSONARO: "Lula, can you explain why 73% of prison inmates voted for you?" LULA: "I want 100% of them to vote for me, even your dad! Even your dad!"

We need to start asking Evangelical Christians over and over if they disavow the Terceiro Comando Puro

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Me relata mi madre que Marisol Malatet trabajaba en el mismo edificio que mi padre y que cuando él se enteró que ella iba a representar a Puerto Rico en Miss Universo la reacción de él fue “Esa flaca no va a salir”

Hoy fui a Plaza y le preguntamos a gente que dónde estaban tal o cual cosa. Una nos dijeron que cerca de donde era el Burger King de Sears. Otra que donde ponen el árbol de navidad. Y otra que al otro lado de las estatuas de los niños... que quedan en la fuente, que lleva ahí 50 años, dime la fuente

There’s a bunch of tweets circulating of the same photo of the “TRUMP NUKE BRAZIL” inflatable missile at Flávio Bolsonaro’s march today in São Paulo. This is a different photo of the same thing. There’s also at least two videos

“Puerto Rico is a nation that was invaded by the United States in a war of expansion and has been held as a colony for over a century. Statehood would reward the US ... Colonies should be liberated, not subsumed by the empire that claimed them.”
