Commentary about literally everything (but mostly Brazilian news). I like Star Trek and dunking on inept presidents. Still a personal account.

por demanda popular venho compartilhar a história da bolsonarista pirada da minha sessão eleitoral que conseguiu a proeza de travar a votação por meia hora: cheguei para votar 8:20h da manhã pra evitar transtornos. obviamente deu errado, né.

enquanto estava na fila, logo uma moça começa a armar um dos maiores barracos que eu já presenciei na minha vida na cabine de urna

It's October 2nd. As millions head to the polls in Brazil to choose the next president, Brazilian expats make their way to the nearest embassies to cast their ballots.

Lula: 73,44%
Bolsonaro: 15,85

TOTAL: 448 votes

There are only four days left until Brazil's general elections. Tonight, free-to-air network TV Globo is holding the last debate before millions of Brazilians head to the polls

It's Bolsonaro last shot given his plummeting numbers the past few weeks

twitter.com/i/events/15756… The debate opens with Lula being questioned by Ciro Gomes. Ciro points at poverty rates. Lula answers reminding the public of his accomplishments as president and how "the poor could travel by plane. have barbecues. buy fridges"

also said "ciro u look a bit nervous" lmao

Marrying your adopted son, ordering his murder, becoming the center of an embezzlement scheme by posing as a church leader, holding blood rituals... all behind a façade of goodwill

the Flordelis case: one the most insane stories coming from Brazil (and that's saying something) The basics: Flordelis dos Santos de Souza is a federal deputy from the state of Rio de Janeiro. She was previously known for her work as a church leader (and for having 55 - yes, fifty-five - children. The vast majority of them adopted)

Today I'm going to explain one of my absolute favorite Brazilian internet culture phenomena: ENEM DAY

What is ENEM? What does #ShowDosAtrasados (hashtag Late People Show) mean? Why is everyone trying to enter a metal gate before it closes?! ENEM is an acronym for "National Exam of High School" it is a two-day, 180 questions long, massive test that aims to measure how much you have absorbed throughout highschool. You also have to write an essay about a current topic (the theme changes every year!)

Today, Brazil, a country with a constitution that is only 30 years old, buried its democracy.

Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) built his political career by preaching about hating minorities. Now he is in charge of the 5th most populous country on earth. Here in Brazil we (sometimes jokingly) refer to Election Day as “the party (as in, festivity) of democracy”. Bolsonaro, a military man who believes minorities should bow to the majority, puts the very foundation of our country at risk

I've written dozens of threads in the past months, but here's what's happening in Brazil, in a very brief explanation

48% of the population has voted for a far-right presidential candidate who has glorified torturers, disregards human rights, and believes women should earn less There are multiple facets to this phenomenon, something I've explored in a different thread

If you (foolishly) decide to disregard his appalling remarks to LGBT folks, women and minorities in general and look at his policies: He doesn't have any
