And here we go.
BREAKING:
Flávio Bolsonaro is refusing to concede Brazil's presidential election and says he will seek to have the election annulled after losing to President Lula.
He's citing a Supreme Court justice's last-minute two-hour voting extension — which his own campaign had also requested.
Brazil's electoral court has officially declared Lula the winner, with approximately 51.8% of the vote to Bolsonaro's 48.2%.

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia.
Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won.
Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history
Continuing my 6 month journey through Chinese, Korean & Japanese cinema & my 2nd general observation is that the greatest compliment Chinese or Korean men can pay a woman is that she is ‘pretty.’ A Japanese man’s greatest compliment to a woman is that she is ‘accomplished.’
Every now and then I feel sorry for her and then I am reminded that she is just like him. They deserve each other.
First Lady Melania Trump is claiming credit for a ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, southern Ukraine.
But the Vatican says it was Pope Leo XIV who phoned Putin on Oct. 16, while still in hospital after lung cancer surgery, and asked for a truce to get food and aid in. The Kremlin confirmed the call. Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin says the initiative was the pope's.
As @thedailybeast notes, it's reminiscent of 2016, when Melania said she wrote her RNC speech "with as little help as possible," only for whole passages to turn out to mirror Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech.
We all knew they were lying then. And they keep lying. It’s in Israel’s interests to tell our governments that we’re a nation of anti-Semites. And for that fabricated crime, we need repressive laws & punishments. But we’re not anti-Semitic & Israel’s influence is waning. Finally.
Honest cop reveals that the Government’s *antisemitic* claims were wrong.
‘Deputy police commissioner states Premier Minns and Minister Catley incorrectly told the public that there had been “700 instances of antisemitic attacks”.
‘Hudson told the inquiry that figure included both antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since 11 October 2023.
‘Catley last month said that “there have been more than 700 antisemitic events and incidents and arrests in this city”.
‘The following day, Minns said: “There have been 700 instances of antisemitic attacks over the summer.”
‘Thurtell confirmed during the hearing that of the 700 incidents just “40-odd percent” were antisemitic. [the others classed as Islamophobic or “other”]

It’s hard to start watching a war (doesn’t matter which war) movie or series where you know how this war ends and the hero and heroine are on the losing side.
I’m not American but I do live on this planet so feel I have every right to say this: there is nothing more important for all of us than getting rid of Trump & his toadies. For the love of all that’s holy, vote Democrat at the mid-terms. It is literally the least you can do.
Pretty sure the French don’t need Muslim immigrants to have a revolution. #FrenchRevolution
