TEMPESTADES NO HORIZONTE
AINDA A DEMOCRACIA
As eleições presidenciais, em Portugal, vão à segunda volta, e à decisão final de quem será o próximo presidente da república. O meu voto irá, outra vez, para António José Seguro. Pela pessoa e, também, pela saúde da democracia.

TREFOILS
MY BEAUTIFUL WORLD (like in the song of Nick Cave)
The world is being pressure-cooked by a bunch of casual chefs, every single of them with their own recipe. But don’t expect a banquet, like the ones from and for the royalty. Instead, you gonna be squeezed for the ‘juices’ because their favourite spice is ‘human suffering’.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME? (like in the song of Boy George)
The world is being torn apart by a bunch of nobel prize winners in wait: “winner takes it all!” it’s their motto. (Mine, by the way, is: ´Love thy neighbour!’ or even better: Love to love!)

OLD NEW WORLD (like in Business as casual)
The states have the newest and most potent bomb in the world, capable of destroying everything but the enemy. Once dropped it can wipe out everything even in the far corners of the world. Only three countries have an effective defence: wait, laugh and profit -a sort of iron(y) dome made with the rarest of the brightest deceivers.
The thing it’s called Trumclear bomb, made of deadly societal decay. It’s ultrasonic propulsion comes from verbose, which makes it impossible to know, accurately, from which direction it comes, or if it comes at all, rendering any defense impossible. I’ve heard some scientists are, in a hurry, tinkering with a possible defense: late night educational courses. There’s only a catch, the boomerang effect: this means the thrower will, almost for sure, get back what it throws.

BOOK FACE
De todos os bilionários o único que tenho a certeza que lê livros é Bill Gates. Isso diz muito sobre o que podemos esperar dos outros.

A má qualidade vai, rapidamente, parar ao lixo... aumentando a poluição, o lucro, a procura, o prejuízo, e duplicando... triplicando... quadruplicando...

MONO(LOGS)
There are no talking heads talking melodies anymore. Instead, they´re talking about the great, amazing, things they do, they do but nobody else sees.
The precious oxygen and the much needed water are less valuable than the rare earths, mostly needed for useless gadgetry & diplomatic rows.
Spinning the wheel of fortune we are, happily losing over and over like winning; something I don’t understand. Spinning the wheel, how do you do that?
There’s a summit going on with deaf ears on a fancy spa called Paradise, but so far not a tune nor a melody has been agreed, I mean composed; they all want to be the conductor, no one the composer.
Finally, after a lot of warmongering, one wise talking head said while the others stood with their index finger in the air -like in a classroom: ‘Dear all, I told them and now I’m telling you too, my song is a hit, and with it I will hit everyone to the floor if they do not agree with me. I am tremendous!’

MAN OF THE MEN 2025/2026
In a ‘Good Lord’ survey, conducted under the cover of the cover-up, the man of the men 2025/2026 is Vladimir Xi Donald. The runner up was Benjamin Viktor Nicolás. The rest is a long list of inter pares, word very similar to the Portuguese word Intempérie.
