And again: this happened because the Bolsonaro-appointed TSE did not do its job and respond to Lula’s request, despite indicia of voter suppression. It was only after Bolsonaro also requested the extension that a Lula-appointed STF Judge granted it country-wide

In Brazil, if you are in line to vote inside the voting station you have a legal right to vote, meaning polls stay open past 5pm all the time. This is fake news. What happened was those polls were people were no longer voting closed and those where they did followed the extension
The major question in Brazil… At exactly 5pm, a code is supposed to be entered that closes and locks the voting machines. Once a machine is locked, it can’t accept any more votes. It’s irreversible. The Supreme Court extension was relayed a few minutes after polls were supposed to be closed and machines locked. So… which machines were kept open? In what districts were those machines? And why weren’t they locked at 5pm?

Important lesson for Europe in the Brasil Elections: need to harden against US' blatant meddling via social media algorithms in our elections
Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

I remember the panic about deforestation when Lula won four years ago. Also Deutsche Bank saying it was bad for Brazil's stock market. Both turned out to be blatantly wrong. As if there were not enough prevous terms of Lula to learn from :D
Brazil's Amazon deforestation, official INPE data: >Jair Bolsonaro, 2019–22: 45,612 km² >Lula, 2023–26: 24,648 km² 46% less. And 2026 was the lowest since records began in 1988 Stopping deforestation is one of the most important climate fights on Earth Elections matter

AI accelerates all timelines, including demographic clash. Directly through youth unemployment. Indirectly: Moar GPUs - > scarcity of money - > higher interest rates for debt - > pain for the gerontocracies financing increasing pension costs with debt -> 🇫🇷 protest Next: 🇯🇵

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month. This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

they've been non stop trying to attack our systems for the past 48 hours a side effect is everything is getting hardened but damn we basically need agents going 24/7 because that's what they have

Und täglich grüßt das Akw. Während wir schon wieder in der nächsten Fossilkrise stecken. Was mit der „Alternative AKW“ (als Gegenentwurf zur Energiewende) erreicht wird: die Brennstoffeinsparungen wären deutlich geringer, weil später. = Fossil-Lobby freut sich. —> Einstellmöglichkeiten auf savefuel.netlify.app Der Faktor Zeit fällt gerne unter den Tisch. Ein Mix wäre ähnlich gut, evtl. besser (je nach Setting). Sofern man einen gesellschaftlichen Kompromiss und weniger Polarisierung um Techfragen will. Aber Haupteffekt wäre dort auch durch EE. Eine Annäherung zum Verständnis des Konzepts Zeit und Summen.

That cyberattack on the Netherlands’ largest retailer (Albert Heijn) means practically no fresh produce (fruits or vegetables) in their stores. Which is the first area you see when you walk in. Not good enough IT security having real-world consequences unfortunately

No, a Yandex cloud malfunction did not take down disinformation/troll bots. It's a dangerous misconception. This is not how it works, not even technically. After Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers, a viral chart showed Russian "bot traffic" collapsing. But those bots are mostly Yandex's own search crawlers, not the info-ops social media accounts. Troll farms hide behind proxies, hijacked devices and Western clouds. They're still operating. Hired influencers are also still around. The "bots went silent" story is misinformation. Believing it is plainly dangerous. It tells people the threat is gone while influence operations keep going. Ahead of elections that complacency is what they may count on.

Ich kann allen in der Union nur empfehlen, sich diese Strategiepräsentation der AfD von 2025 noch einmal genau anzusehen. Es passiert EXAKT das, was die AfD plant. Mit dem Ziel, die Union abzulösen. Ziel: “Alice im Kanzleramt”. Die Union spielt munter mit. Die AfD feiert.

China is absolutely insane. As if a pork glut weren’t enough, now it has an electricity glut too… Just think about how insane this sentence sounds: “Data centers are the solution to electricity oversupply.”
This is the first in a three-part series examining China’s breakneck build-out of AI infrastructure as it seeks to become the pre-eminent tech superpower. With @EleanorOlcott and @WillLangley96 from the hinterlands of Ulanqab to Shaoguan Limited free link as.ft.com/r/dd3eceea-e2f6-44…

China is not just exporting more of everything. China’s share of global exports has been declining in categories such as finished clothing, shoes, and bags.
There is talk of a "China Squeeze" i.e. the argument that China, unlike others before, does not "shed" lower value products while moving up the value chain. This seems altogether incorrect. The chart below shows that there are plenty of less complex goods in which China's

PVC hat ein massives Imageproblem aus den 90ern – völlig zu Unrecht! 🧵👇 Schaut man sich die Fakten, Werkstoffeigenschaften und Ökobilanzen von heute an, zeigt sich ein völlig anderes Bild. Warum der Kunststoff viel besser ist als sein Ruf: --- 1️⃣ Beständig & Günstig • Keine Korrosion: PVC ist extrem resistent gegen chloriertes Wasser (ideal für Schwimmbäder, Trinkwasserleitungen & chemische Anlagen). Kein Rost, kein Lochfraß. • Weniger Erdöl: PVC besteht zu 57 % aus Kochsalz (Chlor) und nur zu 43 % aus Erdöl/Ethylen. Das schont fossile Ressourcen und macht die Herstellung effizient. --- 2️⃣ Saubere Verbrennung in modernen Anlagen Dioxin-Panik bei der Müllverbrennung? In modernen Kehrichtverbrennungsanlagen (KVAs) längst Geschichte! Mehrstufige Rauchgasreinigungen neutralisieren den entstehenden Chlorwasserstoff (HCl) effizient mit Kalk oder Natronlauge zu harmlosem Salz bzw. Gips. (Ja, der hohe Chlorgehalt sorgt für etwas mehr Abrieb/Kosten in den Anlagen – deshalb gilt: Recycling schlägt Verbrennung!) --- 3️⃣ Echter Recycling-Champion PVC ist ein Thermoplast und lässt sich hervorragend wiederverwerten: • 7–10 Leben: Hart-PVC (z. B. aus Fensterprofilen oder Rohren) kann bis zu 10-mal eingeschmolzen werden, ohne an Stabilität einzubüßen. • Fenster-zu-Fenster-Kreislauf: Alte Rahmen werden geschreddert und bilden den Kern neuer Profile (Co-Extrusion). • Massiv CO2 sparen: Mechanisches Recycling spart im Vergleich zur Neuherstellung bis zu 90 % Energie. --- 💡 Fazit Langlebig, extrem gut kreislauffähig und eine starke Ökobilanz im Baubereich. Es wird Zeit, das alte Bauchgefühl durch moderne Materialfakten zu ersetzen! 🛠️♻️

Important to remember: the Moroccan border towns next to Ceuta and Melilla have been hit hard economically both due to Spanish and Moroccan border policies. Youth unemployment is at 40%, higher than the Moroccan average. Hence so many people could storm the border as the area is already full of unemployed youths 🇪🇸What did Spain do? Previously, people living in Beni Ensar/Nador (Melilla) and Fnideq/Mdiq (Ceuta) were allowed to work VISA free in the Spanish enclaves. Hence, there are passport controls between Melilla/Ceuta and the rest of Spain. Due to stricter Schengen VISA requirements in 2022, this was no longer possible -> massive spike in unemployment and an end to influx of money 🇲🇦What did Morocco do? Another source of income was the ban on “trobando”. Previously local businesses made money by selling goods they bought in Spain through informal ways. Morocco put an end to this in order to protect domestic manufacturers -> another source of income disappeared As you can see, border policies can have great consequences on people’s lives. Directly and indirectly. But most on EU political Twitter are totally clueless Policies meant at curbing migration have led to growing push factors that facilitate emigration

The sea currents at Tarajal are dangerous; everyone knows this. Authorities are still recovering bodies from the water. Ceuta is set to be one of the biggest humanitarian tragedies at Europe's borders in recent years.

es wird im allgemeinen übertont, wie gut china ist. man übersieht die schwächen und vor allem: die eigenen stärken, die man nicht ausgespielt hat. das hauptthema sind investitionen und glaube an zukunftsschaffung vs. dividenden- und renditegeilheit. in deutschland ist man so besessen von krisen und finanzkrisen, dass man die inneren krisen nicht mal mehr realisiert. und absolut niemand wird stutzig, wenn da steht, dass eine unterbewertete währung typisch deutsch sei. dann würde einem nämlich auffallen, dass es in deutschland einen aufstieg der massen gab, der in china seit jahren den massen verweigert wird. zugunsten der technologie und des exports. auch das thema ‚billig‘ wird nicht mal geschafft in die frage zu unterteilen: wann? etwas kurzfristig billiges, dass hiesige industrie und arbeitsplätze zerstört, kann am ende sehr teuer werden. (und das ist viel mehr ein chinesisches marktprinzip als vieles andere). es ist schon speziell, auf ‚verstaatlichung‘ zu antworten, dass die soziale marktwirtschaft vorsieht: „dass der Staat den Rahmen setzt und nicht in wirtschaftliche Prozesse eingreift“. rahmensetzung ist eingriff in wirtschaftliche prozesse. und die idee darin ist gerade, dass man nicht verstaatlichen muss, sondern diesen mittelweg findet. der echte deutsche diskurs geht aber eher in richtung: die wirtschaft macht das alles schon alleine. es braucht den staat gar nicht. was im abgleich zu den usa (und china) halt realitätsfern ist. es ist ein immanentes problem, dass man mehr wie china agieren müsste, aber nicht zu china werden darf. wer unternehmen verstaatlicht, was die chinesen so btw. auch nicht tun, wird am ende auch staaten disziplinieren müssen, wenn sie nicht tun was man will. da schwingt das repressive schon in der grundidee. ich würde auch in frage stellen, dass wir uns vor einem großen wandel befinden. die welt ist wie eh und je, die protagonisten ändern sich mit der generation, aber die verschiebung des wohlstands findet nur in wenigen gebieten statt. damit verschieben sich staatliche mittel und natürlich hat china den hang zum imperium… siehe faktenschaffung im südchinesischem meer. es fängt ganz woanders an.. wer etwas erhalten will, muss bereit sein etwas zu erdulden und gezielt seine abhängigkeiten beseitigen. seltene erden sind einfach lösbar. man kommt nur nicht ums tun herum und geringere renditen.

UPDATE ON THE DOMESTIC SITUATION IN (NORTHERN) MOROCCO Over a day after the chaos of yesterday 1. Media and social media is full of stories of people returning from Ceuta on how bad the situation was. “No food, no water, nothing”, “the smell of corpses at the border” and warnings to not come to Ceuta ever again 2. A lot of damage to infrastructure and public transport. Yesterday thousands of people stormed into train stations and bus stations trying to reach the northern border. I’ve seen images of broken windows, doors etc in these trains and busses. And from what I’ve heard from people I spoke to in Morocco, public transport still isnt functioning as usual 3. Many youngsters are straying on the streets. They travelled for hours on all ways possible trying to reach the border (eg: Tanger is 75 km away, others came from further south) and now they’re left without money or anything to travel back home 4. Riot police is still present at some key points. Moroccan authorities cracked down at the border areas at Ceuta and Melilla, leading to riots erupting 5. Restaurants and other services are returning to normal. Yesterday even employees of restaurants along the northern coast ran to the border when stories went viral on social media of people successfully crossing 6. Generally a feeling of great embarrassment over what happened 7. Parents are begging for help on social media to find their sons who tried to cross the border without a phone with or anything (This is me spending 24/7 now on Moroccan TikTok and Instagram while speaking to friends etc who are there right now)
