Trump has recently proposed a 500% tariff on goods from countries that trade with Russia, including India and China (who buy ~70% of Russia's oil output), as well as a 10% additional tariff on goods from countries that "align themselves with BRICS.

I don’t like nicotine gum or pouches
Same, it's the possibility of replacing the smoke break ritual that did it for me.

Brazil's favorite Papa Nurgle daemonhost is at it again, folks.
I kindly request that you send my country your best thoughts and prayers. This time he was saved by SAMU, our free and public emergency healthcare service created by... Lula.
lol, lmao even
I couldn't find any information about this specific incident on any news outlets, so I decided to do some digging and had a good laugh. I found some screenshots from a whatsapp group allegedly used by tour guides in Jericoacoara, I'll post them here and translate:
"That day their tour had to end halfway through because they were trying to destroy a company's ATVs and trying to assault the guides!"
"That's when the guides abandoned them and went to call the ATV owners so that they could take back their vehicles."
"They didn't say that ten days ago they ripped up a guide's bag and even hurt the guy's neck.
"The community gave them two hours to leave the village.
"I was an ATV guide for 8 years.
"They've even stolen from me, these Israelites [sic]."
Now some choice comments from the Facebook post, all very well received, which is great to see:
"Pra ver como é um pouquinho do desespero das milhares de crianças na Palestina"
"This ought to show them a tiny bit of the despair thousands of Palestinian children feel"
"Que será que esses moleques aprontaram? Já vi alguns aprontarem em pousadas."
"What were these brats up to? I've seen some of them making trouble at hostels."
"País onde o Satanás tem lá uma mansão."
Country where Satan has a mansion.
"Esses sem noção vem tirar férias da guerra aqui, depois de participar de um genocídio, daí quer causar aqui e acha q vai ficar de boa... Só o fato de eles tentarem agredir os guias, ja era motivo pra uma cóça..."
These dumbasses come here to take some time off from their war, after taking part in a genocide, then want to stir shit up around here and think they'll get away with it... Just the fact that they tried to assault the guides is enough reason to beat them up...

kkkkkkk se fode ae genocida do caralho
Folks, this is it.
After more than six months on Wellbutrin, being the unfocused mess I've always been, and being treated like a criminal and/or child by the most condescending, inconsiderate psychiatrist I've ever had the displeasure of seeing, I decided to say fuck it and find another professional.
For six months, I've been made to wait by my health insurance provider for an ADHD test that never came. I'm on a mysterious waiting list that moves forward at a pace that is known only to the Nether Gods and in all likelihood I'll never get to do this test anyways. All of this because apparently a psychiatrist does not have the authority to say "hey, I think you have ADHD, let's try a first-line treatment and see if it works for you." Silly me, thinking a psychiatrist would be able to diagnose a psychiatric disorder.
Well, my new psychiatrist decided to try a new approach: I've been on Lithium before, because a GP thought I might be bipolar. It didn't work, because... I'm not bipolar. So let's try ADHD medicine and if it works, then, well... in all likelihood, I truly do have ADHD.
Folks, it seems I do have ADHD. Vyvanse (actually Lisvenx, same medication, different name) works a treat. A goddamn treat, I say.
Yesterday felt like the first day of the rest of my life. Cheesy cliché, I know, but holy fucking shit it feels like an entirely new world has been opened to me. I taught five lessons without feeling like I was going to fall asleep for even a single moment. My mind is focused, and my internal monologue is only one audio track instead of four.
I have energy, I don't feel my eyes trying to shut on their own. I can simply get up and fucking do things. Easy things are easy to do. Difficult things are difficult to do for the correct reasons. I defeated the Fromsoft ADHD field boss: I folded all my laundry and put it away.
How did I spend more than 30 years of my life not feeling like this? How many opportunities did I lose, how many things did I abandon because I felt like I wasn't capable of doing them, not because of my lack of competence, but rather because there was an invisible wall of inability between me and even the simplest task? I now realize how much of a fucking legit disability ADHD is.
This is only my second day on this medication so I'm afraid that things might not always be like this from now on. I'm afraid that this effect may only be an initial honeymoon phase and I'll eventually go back to how I was before. If that ever does happen, though, I'll know that that disorganized mess of a human being is not all that I can be.
I can be better. There is hope.
This has been a life-changing experience for sure, and I hope that every single person who needs ADHD medication does get the opportunity to at least try it once, if only to realize that a better life is, in fact, possible.
I spent the whole day at my workshop, making sawdust, logged off and enjoying a local holiday. I arrive home and see that at long last the cheeto is fired and then I decide to go over my daily allowance of Twitter just to check out what's going on.
My feed is full of the most radioactive shitty excuses for human beings, one after the other. I just opened it right now to check it again, and here's what I got, in this order:
Ann Coulter, Mike Pompeo, Kyle Rittenhouse, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Mike Lee, Jim Jordan, Nikki Haley, Donald Trump Jr., Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Donald J Trump Posts from Truth Social, Greg Abbot.
To what do I owe the pleasure of being presented with this absolute eldritch nightmare of a blunt rotation? Is this happening to anybody else? This is on my phone's Firefox browser, because I've reached the daily app time allowance, same as on my PC's browser.
The tracker, who passed away not long after the incident, [...]
really burying the lede here though lmao
When you scramble this many ghouls to check every single detail of a person's life history, you can make even the most well-adjusted person seem like a complete fringe lunatic. This is a concerted effort to make this guy seem as deranged as possible, just a wild crazy man, or a poor victim of online radicalization, depending on what tone you want for your think piece.
You can turn the ultimate protest into a cautionary tale about the seductive rhetoric of the violent online left or a mental health awareness month-style unheard cry for help.
Yeah this fucking sucks but I can't say I'm surprised.
A couple of months ago he went on an interview and just completely lost his shit, hearing voices and talking absolute nonsense... there was a lot of talk on twitter about how he had just lost the election right there and then, surely it would not be possible to recover from such a disastrous public appearance...
I remember laughing in Brazilian back then, doing my best impression of the "first time?" meme, wondering if people have not been paying attention at all for the past five years. The same "silver bullet" kind of moment happened over and over and over again with Bolsonaro (and Trump for that matter), and guess what? Nothing fucking happens. These right wing lunatics can shit themselves live on TV however much they want, nothing's going to dissuade their voters.
And I think there's a reason for that: nothing makes fucking sense anymore. People just want change, they just want to fix this "nameless" despair, this emptiness and lack of purpose and hope. People intuitively understand that neoliberalism has nothing to offer except for abject failure and slow but certain decay, unless you're rich. The thing is, they don't know what to call it. Half a century of propaganda as well as an education completely unconcerned with a critical, materialist assessment of history has made it all but impossible to even begin to understand what's going wrong with the world.
The left is under constant surveillance and is browbeaten back into hiding every time it grows strong or even tries to. The right has no such limitations, and has the freedom to come out and "explain" to the people their own twisted version of reality. An exploited, uninformed, desperate, frustrated and angry working class believes that explanation, after all they have nobody else to explain things.
I'm certainly oversimplifying things, but I think that's the reason why I very often see stuff like delivery guys riding motorcycles adorned with "God, Nation and Family"-style fash stickers. It's the only way I can see the most exploited sympathizing with the exploiter and voting for the people who openly say that the exploiter should exploit more.
I'm very afraid of what comes next for the Palestinian people, but regardless of what happens next, Israel has been dealt a fucking incredible blow to its international reputation. This is a country whose main export is highly sophisticated systems of oppression. If you have a nagging problem with some pesky minority, Israel is your "consultant" of choice.
Now here we are, watching as some of the most violently oppressed, downtrodden people in the entire world do deftly orchestrated commando raids on lawnmower engine powered paragliders, surprising literally the entire world. They have been training to do this under Israel's watch for god knows how long, and the IDF was none the wiser. How did they pull this off?
How can you still claim to develop the most sophisticated surveillance systems and to have the best-trained military in the world, when shit like this happens? How do you even recover from this? This is unprecedented, a paradigm shift, we're watching history in the making here.
Absolutely uncritical support for the heroic Palestinian efforts.
YES
