One weird take regarding bluesky: the algo here is too focused on sharing cute cat/animal photos

I do come on here looking for relevant political news still!

You can now buy Brazilian gov bonds at 7.14% over inflation (fixed)

This is at worse like 10% annual yield, probably closer to 15-20%

Not even ground floor Ponzi schemes pay out this much

It's wild how there's a Frank Ocean song and the only semi-official release is "GTA Online radio station"

I honestly never got the Saudi price strategy tbh

Saudi's big advantage is that their breakeven is super low (like half of American non-shale)

All they did was prop up expensive production for like 10 years before realizing they fucked up

Ignored funny moment: Papua New Guinea buys 40 Maseratis for APEC event, they all get used for the 2 (two) scheduled days, end up abandoned in a warehouse because there aren't 40 Maserati buyers in Papua New Guinea

If you're a WH staffer you have two ways to end the speech

First is Biden's walking out into the Amazon/nothingness

The second is Trump's standing around listening to music

Neither is a good option

Xi arriving in Rio with the Hongqi N701, good looking ride ngl

Fun Hungarian short about two interpreters being bored and trying to guess who's the one person listening to them

There's some criticism about professionalism but it's a 15 minute film that's not really deep

Worth a watch

>Polis endorses RFK Jr as Health Czar

Never trust a bald man

There's a world in which East Germany can't convince Vietnam to sell them coffee and German reunification happens in the early 80s because of that

New data shows Brazil is likely to have the largest grain harvest ever in 2025

Farming is truly the only thing this country does well man, Brazil should just be one big soybean farm paying royalties for the population to move to Europe or whatever

There's farmers doing 2 full harvests per year now

Brazil update: a suicide bomber used fireworks and a vest to attack this building (screenshot from the CCTV video showing it)

He missed and the only casualty was himself

He has now been nicknamed MeiaBomber (a cross between Unabomber and "meia-bomba" which is a slang for ED)

In woke America you can no longer Kum & Go

Update from Japan: American car collectors are sticking random American crap in their cars to look more American

If I'm looking at what Trump's tariffs mean is that he'll get into a stupid trade war and fuck over American farmers at the expense of everyone else lol

One thing I will miss if I end up doing the switch from Twitter (or X now if you enjoy shitty EVs) - the lack of good car accounts

The for you function sucked except it was really good at bringing up random accounts that posted car photos
