Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

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.

... a misjudged attempt to scoop some water for drinking, or when babies fall into bodies of water before they can fly. But unlike mammals who adapted to swimming, the fur of bats isn't hydrophobic & when water-logged makes it impossible to fly. So they have to escape the water to dry off...

For fuck’s sake

Thousands of people have marched in Madrid to protest against Spain’s housing crisis and ask for protective measures for tenants, anti-fraud measures, and a ban on evictions without alternative housing.

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.

A federal appeals court has ruled that states can regulate prediction markets like gambling, dealing a major blow to the booming industry

Just to remember that IQs "pernicious history" involves Eugenics and deeply held racism and sexism. (They had to downgrade the IQ curve for women as they were coming out with higher scores than men)!

On Sunday, parents across the five boroughs got a night to themselves while NY's Cutest enjoyed free activities with NYC Parks staff at select recreation centers. Free & accessible child care doesn’t just make our city more affordable — it gives parents time to rest, recharge, or enjoy a night out.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...
