Brazil votes on Sunday. Lula leads by five points — and needs 50% to end it in one round

A Datafolha poll taken from 29 September to 1 October puts Lula on 45% of valid votes and Flávio Bolsonaro on 40%, with a two-point margin of error. Lula skipped the last TV debate, which Globo then cancelled, and called his rival a “mongrel” on a podcast. From Paris, Argentina's Javier Milei said he hopes his “friend Flávio” wins. If nobody clears half of the valid votes, Brazil votes again in a runoff on 25 October.

As Russia liberates more of the Donbass it restores more of the Donbass.
#DPRestoration
🏗 More than 3,600 buildings have already been restored in Donbass and Novorossiya since 2022

These include residential buildings, hospitals, educational institutions and other facilities important to local communities.

For example, Vladimir Dal Lugansk State University, the perinatal center in Donetsk and the Azov State Technical University of Mariupol have been restored. The Kherson Technical University is being restored in the city of Genichesk, while a new paediatric medical center is being built in the city of Melitopol.

📈 And this is only a small part of what has been done in our regions! A total of 5,000 buildings are planned for renovation. So the restoration work is still ongoing. We’re looking forward to seeing the results!

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
