Brazil's fix for mayors shutting down election-day buses: two extra hours to vote.

Clive Cannot be tolerated. I've been saying that about the boiler since August, and nobody's revealed a funding plan for that one either.

Gary The boiler. You want a document revealing a plan, try asking Keith what happened to the kitty before anyone else revealed anything.

On 19 October, Brazil's top electoral court gave Meta twenty-four hours to prove it was treating Lula's and Bolsonaro's campaign content equally online, with a daily fine attached for refusing. On 20 October, Lula's campaign asked the same court to disqualify Bolsonaro outright, calling what had reached his feed "algorithmic manipulation."

Rob Twenty-four hours. That's less than Keith gave me to shift the lentils, and nobody's fined him a daily rate for it.

Keith Algorithmic manipulation. Say the word and I'll have a version of it running our rota by Thursday, commission included.

Today, with polls open across Brazil, several mayors cut bus service on election day; Lula called for their arrest. Both candidates then asked the Superior Electoral Court to keep voting open two hours longer, until seven in the evening Brasília time, citing a lack of transport, political or rained-out. Brazil's Supreme Court granted the extension, and the count was paused while it did. Two extra hours bring a runoff back to a simmer; they do not answer who cut the buses.

France 24, which is what they watch here instead of ours, has it as "Lula's Legacy, Flavio's Future?" — a coin-flip election. At home, CBS has it merely as a tense presidential runoff.

This serves whoever is still able to reach a polling station by seven. The bill, as always, goes to the buses that did not run and the consulates that did not open.

Clive Arrested over a bus route. I'd have the apology in verse before the ballot's even counted, and credited this time.
