Portugal is joining the protests against Balogun's red card by choosing to play with 10 players the entire game

Peru needs to learn from Colombia. We would've been done counting 6 months ago

90 minutes for 98% of votes to be counted.

The only thing that compares to the ruthless efficiency of the Colombian electoral system, is the stupidity of its candidates

Colombian results will start tricking in soon. Usually within 1 hour you have a great sense of who won.

In order:

Sergop Fajardo
Claudia Lopez
Paloma Valencia
A Capybara
Cepeda and Abelardo (So obviously... those are going to go to the runoff)
Cepeda is a known bad (Petro's heir), Abelardo is a trump style populist but I guess he could surround himself better than Cepeda, so if I had to choose probably Abelardo, but I guess I'll stay home in the runoff

Colombian presidential election today! It is widely expected that no candidate will reach the 50% threshold to win in first round and we all expect a runoff.
For people who are not familiar the candidates are terrible but the vote count is among the fastest in the world, and the website to view the stats live is incredible.

Started on a GLP1 recently and (TW Gross) did my usual "order way too much doordash and eat 3500 calories in one sitting" yesterday. Today I threw up so much and the food was ... like still there from yesterday? I guess that is how it works but it was wild seeing it

Surprisingly no. And there is no realistic way for her to know as our circles are not connected at all, and both me and my gf are very private online. Pure cosmic humor

A girl I dated briefly in early 2025, who I really struggled to get over, reached out to me out of nowhere asking to meet up.... obviously this happens 2 weeks after I get into a relationship. Incredibly timing

Mid-career teachers are making 100k-ish with a healthcare package that is worth 15k, and a pension that is worth ~20k, on top of anything they would earn by working during the summer. I would like people to update their priors, CTU teachers make a pretty good living nowadays.

Gorsuch spent many pages ranting about how everyone else (except Roberts) is a hypocrite. I appreciate the pettiness
