@dhuyvetter His VP is the daughter of a Junta-era general, she's justified the crimes against humanity of the 70's as an appropriate "response to terrorism".

In early 2nd Century AD, Romans built a Pharos or lighthouse, in Dover, Kent, England.
This would have guided the ships of a Roman fleet into the harbour below.
The Dover Pharos is the most complete standing Roman building in England. It’s also one of only three lighthouses to survive from the whole of the former Roman empire.

My good friend @mrgeoffshumba wrote this for the Yorkshire @BylineTimes
It's excellent.

So frustrating watching the achievements of SpaceX overshadowed by Musk and the rest of the crap he spouts. Sooner he enters late-stage Howard Hughes and lets the grown-ups run the company, the better.

Far-right libertarian outsider Javier Milei has won Argentina's presidential elections. Today's cartoon by OSVAL. More cartoons: https://cartoonmovement.com/search?query=&sort=created&order=desc

El uso corrupto de las palabras "Libertad" o "Austeridad" están marcando el rumbo político y económico de muchos paises a nivel mundial.
Llevo viendolo en las películas desde pequeño, esto no se ha fraguado en los últimos años.
La gente no conoce los mercados, no sabe como funcionan las instituciones, no ven a donde va el dinero de los impuestos, quién paga más o menos, cómo se crea riqueza y como se distribuye.
Es necesario un cambio de modelo comunicativo y educativo desde abajo. Los medios se han convertido en el hilo conductor de la propaganda de los poderes económicos. Y no lo veo nada fácil.
Clarification: Massa was Economy Minister, that's what I mean by "Incumbent", as in, he was associated with the failures of the Government he was in.
"He is way more excessive and unstable than Bolsonaro and Trump. So it’s highly unpredictable what this person could do."

First projection election #Argentina 🇦🇷
- Sergio #Massa (Peronist, left wing): 44,05%
- Javier #Milei (ultra-right wing): 55,95%
Voter turnout: 76%
@jbzfn And a Vice-President who would whitewash the murders and tortures committed by the state during Argentina's darkest times.

🇦🇷 Massa is conceding defeat to Milei. He's trying to reassure a peaceful transition.
Perhaps that's not important for many, but remember, this guy still remains in office and will have to deal with the worst political, social and economical fallout in argentinian history.
The IMF put a lot of pressure on him, and now those mfs will deal with a clown that talks to dead dogs and roman emperors.
Screenshot from the TN stream. #massa saying "#Argentina has chosen this course, the responsibility for the security, welfare and economy of the country now lies with the new President." #Decision23
Yep, he's conceded. #Milei is President.
Sergio #Massa speaking now at his HQ. Feels like a concession speech already. #Argentina #Decision23.
@simdoes Watching TN (canal trece) on youtube and they relayed an announcement from the Casa Rosada. Massa coming on stage now.
#Massa is going to make an announcement shortly.
Meanwhile celebrations and Gadsen (Don't Tread on Me) flags again at the Milei camp.
Official announcement at 9pm (0000UTC) but looks as though the "libertarian" Milei will be elected President of #Argentina, defeating the incumbent Massa by around 6-7%. #Decision23
Electoral Officials saying that with the ballots counted already, Milei leads by 53% to 47%.
Vote counting is going really fast, 60% of votes counted so there could be an announcement sooner than 9pm. #Argentina #Decision23
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious For me it's more a rough Gene Hunt from Life on Mars.
