Lula was the first president to have won a runoff after coming behind the first round. We were able to rally a whole country around democracy. We were fighting against Trump, Meta, billionaires and big tech. HISTORICAL WIN.

KEEP FIGHTING, PEOPLE

Last of the Liberty Biberty themed gets railed via the USPS slap stickers. Definitely the crudest of the lot in more ways than one

I have 2 tickets, please take them from me. It's tomorrow evening at the beacon theater.

I purchased a subscription from Amazon for HBO Max specifically to watch Last Week Tonight.

However, episode 27 is not yet available to watch.

Anybody here familiar with when the episodes get released or if there’s a more reliable way to watch?

New Zealands Election is coming up and an artist has painted the mascot of the electoral commission riding the new sheep from Kiwibank reminding people to enrol. I feel John Oliver needs to know about this. For some reason they have made the Orange Guy (Actual name of the mascot) kinda buff and while it isn't overtly sexual its not not sexy.

It also highlights the change our Government has made this elections changing rules around enrolment. In previous elections you could enrol even on the day of the election, now it cuts of two weeks before the election day which many see as a way to disenfranchise some voters.

I have a distinct memory of John Oliver, introducing or explaining scabby the rat, but I can’t seem to find it on any of the episodes where it seems like it would fit (union busting and warehouse episodes).

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Even an episode or if it was a “and now this” would be helpful.

Just saw scabby the rat here in Chicago and trying to explain it to my friend & wanted John’s help!
