#Florence+themachine named the new tour EVERYBODY SCREAMS because that is how I felt now for more than an hour trying to get tickets on lousy #eventim and failing miserably. Until they fix these nightmarish websites that privileges scammers, concert going is becoming an anxiety inducing experience.

Nenhuma foto e NENHUMA menção ao Tarcísio...

German Social Democracy is not dead folks

O governo parece não ter entendido que ou mobiliza suas bases na rua de fato ou pode entrar em 2026 já derrotado. Problema: o PT tem medo de rua pq não entendeu 2013 até hj. Teme "perder o controle" do povo na rua. Meu feeling: ou supera esse medo agora e dá um salto ou 26 vai ser um massacre.

Brazil's GDP is one eighth of the US's. Eat every politician that claims it's impossible to have free public healthcare.

Ah, so the new Sabrina Carpenter's song is actually the soundtrack for this whole shit show? Manchiiiiiiiild 🎶

Only public reaction from major European leader I could find (so far) is from Starmer. Not only suggest little influence, but also little warning despite conducting talks with Iran on Friday. Also no pre-coordinated response despite knowing for days US strikes could happen

Sean Hannity, and many others, are posting this video claiming it is the explosion at Fordow after the US military bombed it. Its not. This is from Syria in December 2024.

Remember when we agreed that the environment catastrophe was the biggest threat for humanity? Yes, with B2 aircraft that refill midair to bomb and risk radiation, starving people while bombing them and destroying infrastructure everywhere while threatening to increase oil prices we will arrive there

I see many folks making many uncaveated claims about what happens next. I also see the best and most seasoned experts admitting that they don’t know what’s coming—and advising us not to buy what such fully confident pundits are selling. Trust the latter view. We’re in largely uncharted territory.

"Once you guys plot against my family and that was tough. I have big guns and I am much more powerful than you so you will see it one day!"

Military strikes make people's brains fall out of their heads. Why would anyone believe anything Trump says? We have no idea at this point if Iran's nuclear facilities remain intact or if they were "totally obliterated."

"war of choice" is a great term. I highly recommend to read @sethabramson.bsky.social take on how this war is personal to Trump and has been long in the making (as he himself just announced). He betrails the MAGA movement for basically revenge thirst and delusion of what it means to be powerful.

Estive hoje na @globo-news.bsky.social falando novamente sobre Irã e Israel e as perspectivas (nada esperançosas) para a segunda semana de conflito. g1.globo.com/globonews/co...

Top of mind for me was @profdownes.bsky.social's @cornellupress.bsky.social book "Catastrophic Success: Why Foreign-Imposed Regime Change Goes Wrong." It's right there in the title. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

A must read for this Wednesday

7/ My assessment as his biographer is that at this point only one thing can stop a war with Iran that will define the next two decades of US foreign policy and cause countless deaths around the world: if the MAGA base so loudly yells about this that Trump worries his entire movement could collapse.

Ontem na @cnn-brasil.bsky.social discuti a escalada de conflito entre o Ira e Israel, no qual eu reforco o interesse israelense de mudanca de regime e questiono se, mesmo com o colapso do regime, o problema entre os dois paises seria resolvido (1/2) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnV...

We can say that the goal of regime change from Israel is obvious by now..

Acabo de ser entrevistada sobre o conflito entre Irã e Israel pelo melhor time da @globo-news.bsky.social! Que baita experiência, muito obrigada pelo convite!

The Islamic Republic of Iran has now confirmed that IRGC intelligence chief Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy, Hassan Mohaqiq, were killed in Israeli air strikes.

Tive minha estreia na TV brasileira hoje falando um pouco para a #CNN Brasil sobre a necessidade de olhar para a história criticamente para entender o que passa entre Irã e Israel hoje. Nervosismo a parte, espero que tenha trazido uma perspectiva importante às vezes esquecida sobre o projeto nuclear

all of us at the end of this shitty week

Not "preemptive." Illegal. There is no evidence of an actual or imminent armed attack by Iran. This is a blatant violation of the UN Charter. It has no legal basis in the right of self-defense. Now we wait to see how many civilians will die because of this insanity.

David, famous for his undisclosed nuclear arsenal

The SHOCK of the guy's face by realizing that big artists can actually be normal, decent people and be OK with it?

Preventive use of force against another state is illegal. Preemptive self-defense is much more arguable. This explains why these words matter and why states using force like to portray their use of force as "preemtive". Including when no attack is imminent.

Honestly, what a damn year.

The geographical scope is huge, unclear yet how effective strikes were. Reports of civilian casualties in Iran. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Back to Bluesky on this Friday 13 to check all the (check notes) absolutely informed opinion about Israel strikes on Iran. This reality is the bad place.

Many call Carnaval the greatest party in the world, but it is far more than that. It is Brazil’s most radical act of existence—an ephemeral yet profound moment where a Brazil of possibilities emerges. Rooted in communitas (in terms of Turner), Carnaval momentarily dissolves social hierarchies, +

As an International Relations scholar working on security, the dynamic of change in the international system we are seeing is truly mind boggling. There is an epochal shift underway in transatlantic relations and European security. The entire post-war order is being upended.

One more early morning at #ISA, second roundtable on #NCR, it's diversity and pluralism. Join us!

If you’re not lucky enough to be in Brazil today, this is how the country is reacting to Fernanda Torres’ Oscar nominations—a near-unanimous Brazilian favorite—and I’m Still Here. Bonus: the Oscars ceremony coincided with Carnival, Brazil’s dearest holiday 😅

I hope Brazil will make history tonight.

Extremely proud of @lucerioli.bsky.social - the first PhD student I've supervised- for the publication of her excellent first book:

Busy day today, this afternoon at 4PM I will be presenting on how #LatinAmerica fits into the ongoing discussions about #geopolitization of the #energytransition and the traps and opportunities it faces - all that in this super diverse panel on #climatepolitics and the region

Hey #ISA2025 folks, the early bird gets the..worm? Is that how it goes? Either way, today we kick of at 8:15h with the roundtable on #ncr diversity, pluralism and geographic regions! Join me, @thomasjuneau.bsky.social @lionelfatton.bsky.social and more

CDU (conservadores tradicionais) ganham eleições como esperado na Alemanha e a estrema direita AFD fica em segundo lugar, com um aumento histórico e claramente a oposição mais forte para o novo governo. Lider do CDU e futuro chanceler confirma que nao fará coalisão com AFD, mas devemos ser céticos/1

pesquisar: como diz ninguém larga a mao de ninguem em alemao? (contém ironia)

very important take (and astonishing numbers).

and some people still say the wall is gone...

Vielleicht ja schön zu sehen, dass nicht alles neu ist nach einer Wahl. Das tägliche morgendliche Fetischthema im DLF bleibt die Migration. Wehe jemand möchte über etwas anderes sprechen.

Incredible East-West divide. The trend has been there for long, so it's not surprising - but still shocking.
