Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

this is so fucking bleak

Whatever drove the change from last round to this round, it is such a relief that the Brazilian government/court effort to punish Jair Bolsonaro for fomenting a J6-event did not go to waste.

Nice to think about the possibilities suggested by Bolsonaro getting to die in prison.

This thread comes to a close... ... as we now have a final result. Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)

Lula:

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

This joke is so good. We don't deserve it, frankly.

1) vance has this weird preoccupation with demanding that people show him gratitude 2) this is just another expression of the idea that some americans don’t count and at most should be seen and not heard

The posture of Knowingness which is quick to assert that actually there is no sense things are getting worse when the state livestreams an execution because it's analogous to cop killings of the past is very stupid. You can and should notice changes.

Theres a plaque on the gas station near my house in Indio, CA commemorating when Swaggert met the woman he was busted with.

Joe Don Baker was the Jason Statham of his day

GW Bush & !Jeb! Ostentatiously learned a lesson from from Pete Wilson immolating himself and the CA GOP. Of course poor George and Jeb never actually had the courage of their conviction… slunk off from Trump’s shellacking like pathetic inbred dogs.

“One paradox of our time is that whilst the educational attainment of the population has increased, there has been a decline in public intellectual standards”

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

folks, i can't tell you how many times i've rewatched this ad *that republicans are paying people to see*

To wit: it’s not a “fever” if it never breaks! That is, the ‘fever’ metaphor was only ever attractive because it entailed a radicalized GOP reverting/changing through almost no political effort by Democrats. This is a legitimate political movement, and to that exact extent, it has to be defeated.

people were so fixated on the Duke stuff in White Lotus S3 that we forgot this choice in S1

What's funny about this is that @whstancil.bsky.social thinks it shows that people have been brain poisoned by social media in their antipathy towards the economy and anxiety about the future. Don't these people know that cable was way worse than streaming and median wages actually rose in 2021?
