In Nairobi, a city prone to floods, workers in the "Green Army" are making preparations to prevent disaster when El Niño arrives. n.pr/47K4Tpe

The president is demanding that Republican Senate candidates stand next to him at rallies where he talks about asses (mostly one man’s) and brags about making gas prices higher. If his candidates lose, it’s because the elections were rigged.

Trump fought for weeks to keep this secret. He lost.

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

This is utterly damning, and yet still about as generous as possible

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Evangelical Christian fundamentalism is why Brazil just might elect Flavio Bolsonario, a far-right traitor to the nation. Non-religious people *must* do much better at community and mutual aid. This is a global problem. Fascism's chief tool is religious delusions. archive.is/jkFDJ

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

Attacks on trans rights are attacks on bodily autonomy If you truly have trouble wrapping your head around the problem: Take a moment to consider that anything anti-trans is telling us that people can be told legally by their government that they have no control over their own bodies 

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

And so the Dark Season begins.

Irony.

So is he projecting what he and his thugs are planning to do after the election? He is not well and needs to be removed from office!

Normally I’d feel sorry for someone like him, all the bees have left the hive, but not this prick. I’m going to enjoy his trip into the depths of hell.

This is excellent!

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

I’m starting to think that this is the Zombie Apocalypse that they have been talking about for so long. How can someone so willingly and completely surrender his power over to someone like this? It truly is a cult…what’s left of it.

This is "A.i." bullshit and if this account doesn't take it down within minutes, you should block the account.

PM Carney sharply criticized the decision to restrict Ukraine’s satellite access: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression.”

Come back when you've realized it's more important to be knowledgeable than coddled and validated; come back when you realize the point of the conversation is something more than everyone agreeing with your nonsense; until then, pretty please, with sugar on top, fuck off into the Mariana Trench.

No I do not have to take someone's opinion seriously if they have garbage opinions and have garbage beliefs. They should be hounded with shame for believing such things. Instead, they are coddled and told they are special.

Brexit was the greatest act of economic self-harm in our country’s history, leaving Londoners nearly £3,400 worse off on average.

Terrific piece. 'Burnham, Macron, Merz and Carney must confront Trump, even at the cost of a break with Washington. The US leads by consent, not by right. Burnham could start by ordering the closure of US military bases. Trump’s treachery must not stand.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Congresswoman Underwood had a brilliant idea to take the profits being made from AI and create a sovereign wealth fund, like in Kuwait, from which Americans are paid. Given that our information and knowledge is what propels this technology, she’s absolutely correct!!

It's not unusual... to have a logo in a pool

Relax, our model takes 20 minutes just to fail a syntax check. The robot uprising will be delayed by an unexpected token on line 42.

The political power billionaires derive from their wealth and assets must be entirely destroyed for democracy to endure.

Well this should be fun
