Der Strandreporter ist umgezogen – willkommen in der Pacific Edition! Auf X poste ich nur sporadisch, bis Elon wieder weg ist. Bin außerdem drüben auf Bluesky (@strandreporter.bsky.social) und häufiger noch auf Instagram (@strandreporter)
Interviewführung klasse.
Em português, no canal da Folha no YouTube (vídeo completo, sem edições nem cortes):

Kein guter Look für @LulaOficial: sich hier von den eigenen Leuten „interviewen“ zu lassen und dem geflüchteten Wahlverlierer alle möglichen Prozesse anzukündigen. Riecht (völlig unnötig) nach Lawfare, 🇧🇷.

.@yoanisanchez, one of Cuba’s best-known independent reporters, was detained by state security amid a broader crackdown on critics.

What he says.
Nach dem etwas enttäuschenden Interview der @nytimes mit dem 🇧🇷 Wahlverlierer Flávio Bolsonaro („Meine Flucht habe ich allein organisiert“) bin ich allerdings gespannt, ob @ggreenwald kritischere Fragen platziert bekommt.
I promise you: I never wanted and never had an audience composed of people so stupid that they'd evaluate on an interview before seeing it, or who believe that a journalist shouldn't interview people they disagree with. If you thought that, it was just because you were too dumb to understand yet, not because I "changed."
David gegen Goliath in Südostasien: Weil die indonesischen Waldbrände in die Luft im kleinen Singapur verpesten, will sich der Stadtstaat jetzt rabiat gegen den großen Nachbarn wehren. Aber wie macht man sowas? Beschreibe ich in der neuen ZEIT bit.ly/48DQrzm
Sowas ist natürlich schon unangenehm #AbdulElSayed
Well done, @jamesmatthewsky. You showed @AbdulElSayed that a Scotsman doesn't back down, or back away. Blue wave or no blue wave, I hope this guy loses tonight.

There is only one name who can save Republicans in 2028.
That name is Marco Rubio.

Reality: Brazil interfering in USA elections

1. Hier meine Midterm-Prognose: Das Rennen ist offener, als es auf den ersten Blick erscheint. Die Wahrscheinlichkeiten dafür, dass die Demokraten den Senat gewonnen, wird in den gängigen Modellen mit 70 bis 80 Prozent angegeben.

Although people all over the world are happy to see Trump and MAGA becoming unpopular in the USA, the reason behind it is far less encouraging.
Trump could support Putin and Russia all he wanted. He could continue to let Ukrainians get slaughtered, treat Canada like shit, threaten Denmark with war, steal from Venezuela to line his own pockets, support Israel's brutality, and insult allies day after day. The American public doesn't support these things, but they don't seem to care very much about them either.
The only reason people are now turning against Trump is because — of all unimportant things — gas has become a little bit more expensive in in a country wealthier than any other in world history. THAT is what infuriates the average voter and makes them turn against Trump
The rest of the world is lucky that this is happening, as it weakens Trump. But that doesn't mean we should assume that the USA will act morally on the world stage in the future. Deep down, they simply don't care very much.

Nach Flávio Bolsonaros Flucht erklärt die halbe Welt Brasilien die Demokratie. Linke und Rechte sind sich erstaunlich einig. Das sagt mehr über sie als über das Land. trib.al/mtzBOsF

"Internet-Kolonialismus mit der Bürde des Blauen Häkchens": Warum wird über die Wahl in #Brasilien bloß so viel Quatsch in den sozialen Netzwerken verbreitet? Den Leuten in 🇧🇷 braucht niemand ihre Demokratie zu erklären. Kleine Debattenkritik in der ZEIT bit.ly/4jVCJPz

Presidential loser Flávio Bolsonaro’s ChatGPT generated “Miami declaration” has today been branded “pathetic” by Brazilian media, and he has lost his entire support base, including political allies, coalition parties, evangelical church leaders, and so on.
Bolsonarismo is over.
Tom Fischermann retweeted
Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption.
So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷
