Two-round electoral systems are very underrated - I’m always saying this

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

The swing to Lula was larger in municipalities with more irreligious or evangelical residents, while municipalities with more Catholics swung towards Bolsonaro

Replying to @lewisgoodall.com

Reports that some in Bolsonaro camp (shock!) preparing the way not accept the result. One of his most senior parliamentarians has said: “Either we win. Or we win. You’ve been warned.”

The fetishisation of "debate" as some sort of grand public good that everyone should do is so thoughtless and jarring to me because the more you actually do it the more it becomes apparent that genuinely constructive debate is actually a pretty niche thing.

Yes and Ali G knew that - and one thing he refused to capture was just how racist those white private school kids pretending to be black were when they met an actual black person

Chaminda Jayanetti@cjayanetti.bsky.social

I think one thing is that Ali G's youthful audience 25 years ago didn't actually get the joke - they weren't laughing at the parody of a middle class white guy pretending to be black (a niche type at the time), they were laughing at the sexist jokes, drug references and befuddled ageing interviewees

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

Finished Star Fox Adventures for the first time and what a great game (played the start as a kid but never finished it). Gameplay is pretty solid, the graphics are outstanding, and the voice acting is so funny. Only downside is the god awful aiming and the on-rails shooter elements towards the end.

such a good eg of why political argument matters - polling previously showed over 60% support for keeping triple lock. Argue to unlock it *for something people also want* & numbers can change. (Obv can change back again if someone makes a good argument against, but either way, politics=argument)

Mario Kart Tour wasn't my favourite game, but it did make me wish Nintendo had ditched mobile and given us a live service Mario Kart on Switch / Switch 2 instead. This game ended with 276 characters, 340 karts, 238 gliders and 546 courses. Imagine that in 'proper' Mario Kart.

Mario Kart Tour has now officially shut down, after an estimated 276 million downloads and $270 million in total revenue. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/mario-k...
