Total fake. The blackout happened at around 11 am and it was largely solved in Portugal by 8:30 pm, when there was still daylight.

Além do Leitão Amaro a dizer literalmente "aguardamos que nos próximos... tempos o fornecimento de energia sereá normalizado". Com pausa e tudo.

Já ouvi "previsões" que vão de 6 horas a uma semana para o completo reestabelecimento da rede.
E uns gajos inenarráveis na SIC Notícias, "waxing poetically" acerca da "interdependência tecnológica" e em "aproveitar este momento para reflectir".

"I asked Bill Cassidy" will always be the introduction to something really stupid and disgusting.

Hey. Still: the best people I ever met, I met them here.

I'm sorry you and so many of us have to feel this way.

I hate our embarrassment as well.
It's not a competition but... I am an American on purpose, so mine is worse?

I spent the better part of 2017 explaining to folks back home that no, the majority of Americans had not voted for the shitstain.
Joke's on me this time.
I don't even try. I tell them "Yeah, I was wrong. In my bubble I did not realize *this is the country*. This is it. It has always been"

Slightly unfair. I am sure he also prescribes a course of ayahuasca.

I feel the same, but I go back much further to find my younger self as he began figuring out what to stand for and against, always.
(and if I go back even further I will find my eight year old self celebrating the toppling of a 48-year fascist dictatorship - Portugal 1974. But enough of that)

I could 100% also do without seeing that stupid face everywhere and at all times. Been bitching about that since 2015 and you'd think I'd have adapted by now., BUT NO. FUCKING NEVER.
Not your fault, and video is video. But all pages of every news outlet in the Universe? WE KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

Já não ouvia falar da Marquesa de Alorna talvez desde o 10º ano... ou seja, desde a segunda metade do século passado, ponhamos a coisa assim.

Eu que (vergonha) nunca li as Cartas já mandei vir essa biografia (*) mas se calhar devia primeiro colmatar essa lacuna.
(*) também cada vez gosto mais - no passado ano: Pessoa, pelo Zenith, e auto-coisas: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Daniel Dennett, e Navalny. Em curso... Spinoza.

*(unsure where that "increase" came from)
comment in response to
post
I often think humans are fucking amazing but mostly because we're a consequence of fucking amazing events taking place over billions of years. Sitting currently on top of that increase I do feel amazing, unlikely, and lucky.
And I try to honor all of that by understanding it. Thank you for helping.

(side note: while all that is going on I watched the original BHC and it's all your fault. Turns out I hadn't rewatched it since the 80s, which was great)

Rooting fer ya!
So there's a game today? In that sport inaptly named "foot" + "ball"?
(this is my time of year for insufferably being that "not born here, I don't get it" guy. Well, one of the times of year. It's probably one a day)

I feel your pain, even if I shamelessly couldn't name one of her songs or boyfriends (well, except for whatsisname burly bearded football guy), but I think that horse has left the barn and people like her and other celebrities will always end up normalizing the "new normal".

You're welcome! :)
I don't think we played many Scottish teams, though I remember a win in Aberdeen with an epic goal from the side line at midfield in the early 80s.
comment in response to
post
That makes sense.
Rooting for my local team was one of the crucial elements to growing roots that will never die.
Lucky for me, that was the mighty FC Porto, which gave me great joys, culminating in the 2001-04 seasons. Then I left and they never reached such heights again. Coincidence? Yes.

To be clear, that's for watching.
For practicing, cycling, swimming, tennis.

Soccer as a physical+skill based sport will never be dethroned in my mind. Then with no criteria: rugby, basketball, volleyball, cycling, tennis, cycling,... sailing, running,... curling,... chess,... ... American football,... baseball, pickleball.
Totally personal preferences, ofc.

Just going to say it... I wish I felt more organization coming on from that organization.
But I'll admit i haven't been paying much attention, for mental health maintenance reasons.

First Superbowl I kinda watched (I moved to the US at age 40, so... no interest) was last year, because I was curious about them chicken wings. Done that. It was OK (made them at home). Maybe I should try one of those you mentioned.

Up until the election, "do your part to save democracy" was an easy ask.
Now... "do your part to help mitigate the Apocalypse" doesn't spur many to action.

I got those as well, and i don't even know your son!

I wouldn't want to be in the position of the staffers tasked with trying to get donations at this point. Must be an uphill battle and, really, what can they say?
comment in response to
post
That said... I've had private fits of rage when getting some recent requests, especially the ones that talk about "putting D***** T**** on NOTICE".
FFS, hone your message.

It sounded like rather than getting a donation request he thought his savings were being confiscated by the Party effective immediately.

Literally 40% of my time is spent on Teams or Zoom calls, it's so, so productive. Granted, mostly with clients, and in meetings with 25+ participants, which most of the times allows me to do other things.
I suspect a third of my coworkers are trumpers, and I stay the hell away from them.
