Briefly jumping back in here to say that I wrote down some thoughts about the local elections, political fragmentation, and the rise of 'Rainbow Britain'.

It's on my Substack, where I hope to start writing semi-regularly. Give it a clock and subscribe if you're interested.

Reminder that you can find me over on 🦋 where I have a massive 3(!) posts, but aim to be more active going forward (including reviewing the predictions I made for the year)

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

My bad. When I predicted Harris would win the November election, this is the election I actually meant 👇

[Ireland Votes @Ireland_Votes]

BREAKING:

An Taoiseach Simon Harris has confirmed the General Election will be held on Friday the 29th of November.

@bigmanpoforabit Too late to delete?

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

For posterity, this is the prediction I locked in to our office sweepstake last week (if I were to redo it now, I'd stick by the overall result but probably swap Arizona and Georgia)

@DylanFourie02 Deserved. And I don't like the way the other states are looking.

Feel free to bookmark this so you can come back and congratulate me for my prescience or yell at me for being out of touch and horribly wrong

🚨NHK PROJECTION:

The LDP will lose the majority in the Japanese House of Representatives for the first time since 2009.

@Targh I guess it is new, I wasn't aware of it before, but it definitely seems like something that could be easily exploited

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

Fake news. Leave me out of this

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

@Nihonpolitics Do you know if the runoff will take place on the same day as the first round? And if so will we know the overall winner on the 27th?

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

With this platform the way it is, I'm thinking of making a gradual transition over to bluesky, so give me a follow over there and we'll see how it goes:

A new addition to the Bolsonaro vs animals saga... He got attacked by bees while trying to give a speech

[Vinicios Betiol @vinicios_betiol]

ATENÇÃO: o Bolsonaro acabou de ser retirado às pressas de um discurso no Nordeste. Um grupo de abelhas se revoltou com tantas baboseiras e ATACOU O EX-PRESIDENTE. Ele teve que sair fugido de lá.

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

Trump's legal issues are boring compared to Bolsonaro's

[Rory Taylor @tldrrory]

Also why is he always beefing with animals?

[Kyodo News | Japan @kyodo_english]

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has decided not to run in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's presidential election next month, government sources say.

@Adam_Caerdydd Thanks! This is a good article on the final hours:
- Protests became increasingly deadly and things spiralling out of control
- Army told Hasina they would not fire on protesters to enforce curfew
- Her family intervened and finally persuaded her to flee

🇧🇩 The combined 20-year rule of Bangladesh's Sheikh Hasina has come to a dramatic end - not with a military coup or revolution led by opposition parties, but by a student-led protest movement.

I wrote a video on the subject 👇
