The US? Really? Do Bashar al-Assad's hopes of finally having someone to play Mario Kart with mean nothing to you, Flavio?!

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

Shameful. Congress should pass a revised version of the Russia sanctions bill with no Presidential waiver authority.

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

The real story of the Brazilian election is that this sprawling, poor country can have definitive results in a couple of hours whereas the richest country in the history of the world contrives to take weeks or months to determine same.

pensar que semana passada eu tava com medo desse maluco virar presidente e hoje ele tá em algum lugar de buenos aires usando peruca e óculos do groucho marx

Ok. Here’s a Brazilian newspaper reporting that Flávio was on the flight manifest. There might actually be something here.

I just realized “Superkitties” is “Batman” (1966) for the under-7 crowd.

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

This probably means the 2030 Brazilian presidential field is *wide open.*

With 80% counted, Folha de São Paulo (Brazil’s WSJ) calls it.

A day late, but this is one of the first images taken of Earth from space. Ever. It was acquired from an altitude of 105 km (five times higher than the previous record) eighty years ago, on 24 October 1946, with a 35 mm camera mounted on a V-2 rocket launched from the White Sands Missile Range.

Interesting stat: of polling places counted so far, 153 have swung to Flávio; 6.6k have swung to Lula.

If you had told me at any point in Lula's 1st or 2nd term not only that I would be rooting for him in the future ... but also that I'd be rooting for his *4th* term, when he's *80*, after multiple corruption convictions... and that I would think it was of *urgent global importance* for him to win...

Quadruple the house: double the number of districted seats, and then add that many statewide party-list PR seats.

Hear me out. What if we replace napkins with tortillas?

Here’s the crazy part about Leonid Brezhnev’s eyebrows. Look close along the top: He clearly trimmed those puppies. Which means THEY WERE EVEN LARGER THAN WE EVER GUESSED

100 years ago everyone owned a horse & only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars & only the rich own horses. How the stables have turned.

appreciate this article pointing out that she's a performer! i think sometimes stuff like this gets traction bc people don't assume someone like a nondescript looking older black woman has real chops, these moments are always framed as some kind of previously unacknowledged natural talent
