Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Prediction markets also bombed having Bolsonaro around 80% at close of polls. Given that that was in no way a valid read off very close and herded polling, they thought the polls were underselling him.
Ms Mountebank retweeted
After wrongly having the incumbent ahead in the first round Brasilian pollsters hedged and herded on a narrow win for the challenger in the second only to be mostly wrong again. (Lula somehow won by 3.5, an unremarkable polling miss overall but the herding is spectacular).

Swap Lula for Burnham and 2022 for 24 and I'm tentative to say, whatever happens in the next few years, we'll be making the same observation here in 28/29. xitter.cf/OwenWntr/status/211452…

‼️ We've reached the crossover in counted votes, and I'm confident enough to call the election.
Lula will be RE-ELECTED as president of Brazil (>99% chance).
Ms Mountebank retweeted
The atmosphere is amazing, all the cars honking, fireworks, people smiling at every passerby, truly a holiday. I'm posting this so I can savor the moment forever. I'm not forgetting the MAGA cadavers who took part in Vučić's last grip on power though, your time will soon come.

First Hungary, now Serbia. Next US midterms? Corruption really pisses people off.

I expect Reform’s poll collapse will now accelerate. Their entire strategy has been based on claiming they represented the only viable alternative to Labour. And it’s now imploded.
We have Tory-Reform crossover. Average of 6 polls from different companies, fieldwork 16-23 Oct
Lab 28.8%
Con 22.2%
Rfm 21.7%
Green 9.5%
Lib Dem 9.2%

I think we should all leave Meghan Markle alone, and also do old white men ever live in the Philippines for non-perverted reasons?

The visceral disgust people have to Ramaswamy's ad is heartening -- and it goes beyond politics.
NEW on @zeteo_news—
Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his final bus tour across Ohio.
“We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.”

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.
Ms Mountebank retweeted
OBAMA: Trump’s White House looks like The Cheesecake Factory.
MAGA: Elitist!
TRUMP: I only fly on my private plane and crap on my gold toilet.
MAGA: HE’S JUST LIKE US!!!

I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.

Drama about the deep and quiet pain of everyday life used to be everywhere on television. Not so much now. I miss it.

Oh man…the Republicans are retreating into their bomb shelters
I've been asked about early voting analysis.
The dilemma I have is that my platform is big enough such that being too blunt can have an effect on morale. I'll push out new states and tools out to my website soon, but won't announce them here on 𝕏.
I will be giving @realJeremyCarl my predictions a week in advance so he can hold me accountable after Election Day.
You MUST turn out and bring their friends, and brace yourself on election night. Even TX is going to be a fight.
