utterly rediculous that a supposed left-wing media company are all in agreement that calling something what it is (a genocidal ideology racist), is some how electoral suicide - if you think the electorate are all zionist racists, what's the point in any of this?
@AyoCaesar, the 'master strategist' - despite having no record of successful strategic nous and simply being an unemployed grad that joined a conman's glorified MSM grad scheme - gives a word salad of contradictions and nonsense about strategy - and can't let it go that ZIR won.
thanks for doing my literature review for me big bro (class list of citations in this)

A pathetic and revealing childish tantrum by Brazil’s Wall St (Avenida Faria Lima) money men (almost all men and white), who express their grief at seeing their candidate lose the elections to the popular vote. An act of financial vandalism that fixes itself in a couple of days. In Brazil we say “the market” is a psychopath. Whenever the people and the 🇧🇷 economy are doing well, they get frustrated and self destructive. Lula also beat these goons yesterday.

Sports are dead within 10 years better hope your teams won one
The NBA is formally stepping into the prediction markets ecosystem.
The league announced agreements Monday morning with Kalshi and Polymarket that will allow the companies to use official league data and intellectual property and give the league control over what trades the companies are allowed to offer.

El que abraza a Lula es @AndreJanonesMG el diputado que con un canal de WhatsApp rompió el bloqueo de Meta y las otras empresas tecnológicas, y cambió la campaña después de la derrota en primera vuelta.
Hijo de una empleada domestica y un padre discapacitado, se pagó su carrera de abogado trabajando como cobrador de pasajes en los buses.
Su canal de WhatsApp (donde creó el “Ejército de Lula) pasó de 50 mil personas en primera vuelta a 10 millones para la segunda.
Sin el trabajo de Janones no hay remontada, Lula lo sabe y por eso el reconocimiento de ayer.
Como anécdota, fue quien convenció a Lula de finalmente usar teléfono celular, un iPhone.
Ahhh y reivindicó la camiseta de la selección Brasil para la campaña, de la que se había apropiado el bolsonarismo.
Esta é a foto que está estampando a vitória de Lula nos principais jornais do mundo (vi no The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian e no The Times).
Bastante representativa para ilustrar a importância de @AndreJanonesMG nesta campanha! Arrisco dizer que sem Janones, Lula não teria virado. E Lula reconheceu isso. Só Alckmin e Janones receberam o microfone para discursar na Paulista.
Não há dúvidas que, descontado o próprio Lula, André Janones é o nome que sai maior desse pleito presidencial. E com altas credenciais para disputar o governo de Minas Gerais pelo PT em 2030.
Por hora, espero que seja nomeado Secretário de Comunicação Social ainda em Lula 3! Tem tudo para conseguir cumprir a promessa que acabou de fazer: garantir que Lula termine o próximo governo com uma aprovação beirando os 90%.

Lula is asked "What does cinema mean to you" in the run up to the 1982 election, which Lula, the Workers' Party candidate for the government of São Paulo, earned 1,144,648 votes. He came in fourth place [from 'A Visita', directed by Ivan Cordeiro, 2024]

The Pakistani economics commentariat loves to sell the story that the country is stable and ready for growth (see @FT story by @humza_jilani and @mj_stott linked here). Here is a thread with some data to lend some missing perspective:

I propose that, for the sake of (a) not conceding rhetorical ground to the right and (b) being precise about what we mean, we can broadly refer to the popular interpretation of progressive intellectualism in the 2010s as “Vulgar Critical Theory”
