Eight days from now we'll see if the 💯DEMS WILL WIN💯rhetoric pays out. Every single pollster out there is basically slicing the heads off pigeons to see if the blood pools left or right. Please. Just go vote. *You* determine whether the next two years are really bad or devastatingly bad.

Really comforting to listen to pollsters tell us that their entire industry used to be based on math but now it's just witchcraft and vibes.

Just a reminder that this is the guy whose loss triggered panic in the global financial markets. Not just an ecocidal fascist who wanted to burn down the Amazon, but a snivelling little gangster. Just in case we were still labouring under the delusion that this was a good system.

Flávio Bolsonaro may have fled the country to get away from federal police but if that's the case he may also be trying to get away from all his criminal allies who now no doubt are realizing that he 1. failed to deliver, 2. is a huge coward, 3. sure knows a lot of shit

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

If you’ve never watched Babylon 5, Koenig’s Alfred Bester is a bright, helpful, clever, friendly troubleshooter who always listens, follows the rules, and knows in his heart he’s doing the right thing. In other words, he’s one of the most frightening and implacable villains in any sci-fi show.

Watching some Babylon 5 tonight to remember Walter Koenig. I wish he'd gotten more chances to play villains. Koenig had a great range, but he was born to play smug bastards. He was a true master of the art. RIP to a real one.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty

Mike Elk@mikeelk.bsky.social

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

RIP to a real one and a dude who clearly loved and appreciated doing silly accents.

Cinema Strikes Back@cinemastrikesback.bsky.social

Plus a gratuitous scene of Walter Koenig doing a Sigmund Freud impression and nailing that Austrian accent like a driver walking a line for a cop after two full bottles of Jim Beam and an eight ball.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

People are sharing all sorts of stories of Bauza on the picket lines fighting for artists and standing up for the craft of animation but I just keep thinking about the time he went to Tara Strong’s birthday and stopped by 6Point on the way home with a tray of cakepops for the artists working late

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

As I've said before, it's only once I became a professor that I realized the entmoot, a meeting that goes on for three days and three nights, was a professor's joke about faculty meetings.

The Lord of the Rings is essentially a series of faculty meetings broken up by several long walks in the countryside.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

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.

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?)

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

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.

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.
