Am I the only one asking why we are not viewing the Ukraine war-induced energy crisis as a dress-rehearsal for the real and much bigger climate-induced energy crisis coming soon? If ever there was a time to “wargame” tomorrow’s energy shortage with a real scenario, this is it.

Analysis of Primetime TV intvu with Brazil’s Bolsonaro seeking re-election, shows 65% of the 9 million viewers active on social media were likely to have disapproved of his responses, despite being given an easy ride by Globo TV interviewers. Nevertheless, race is tight!

Friendly democracies get US weapons. Unfriendly quasi-dictatorships don’t. A reminder to Brazil’s military that allowing Bolsonaro — if he loses the election — to repeat Trump’s Jan 6th stunt, will get them banned by Washington. https://t.co/n02awiRBbi

After much careful thought I have decided not to allow my name to be put forward as successor to Boris Johnson. Despite entreaties from friends and supporters to join the crowded leadership race, my last word is: “stuff the Tories”.

Quit moaning Brazilian drivers! Your fuel is still cheap by world standards finds the Washington Post in this excellent graphic showing just how far US$40 gets your family saloon.

A flailing —and failing —candidate for re-election in Brazil presses the “I’m so desperate I even believe Fox News could help me” button. Response of Fox viewers unprintable

Over 15 years ago My friend Scott Wallace visited many of the same Amazon places as Dom Phillips, he wrote the book, and lived to tell his tale and this sad tale of a colleague who did not.

Roe v Wade copycats in Latin America: where Trump goes, Brazil’s Bolsonaro follows after. His Government sends plaudits to US Supreme Court… and maybe loses the feminine vote in October elections. https://t.co/bXmFF86BZv
