The good guys win in Portugal.

Portugal's ruling Socialist Party has won an unexpected outright majority in Sunday's snap general election for only the second time in its history.

The election was called when Prime Minister Antonio Costa failed to pass a budget after losing the support of two smaller parties. Mr Costa said Portugal needed stability to ensure economic recovery. Far-right party Chega also increased its support and will be the third largest party in parliament. The result comes as a surprise after polls suggested the Socialist Party had lost most of its advantage in the run up to the vote.

In his victory speech, the prime minister promised he would govern for everyone.

"An absolute majority doesn't mean absolute power. It doesn't mean governing alone. It's an increased responsibility."

However, there are fucksticks everywhere:

Far-right Chega will be the third largest party in parliament for the first time, winning 12 seats. Its leader, former TV sports commentator Andre Ventura, grabbed headlines by railing against corruption and the Roma community, and calling for chemical castration for sex offenders.

So, while American fundamentalism and racism don't help, they're only a symptom, not a cause. The cause is there are two types of human brain: the curious and the cowardly. We are seeing the clash play out and on the result depends the survival of humanity if not life on Earth.

Maybe this happens on every planet, and nobody will contact us unless the good guys triumph planet-wide. If the bad guys do, either they'll destroy themselves or Intergalactic Pest Control will show up.

Get ready for Amnesty International to be included on the terrorist watchlist.

Israeli laws, policies and practices against Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories amount to apartheid, Amnesty International says.

A new report alleges that the Israeli state maintains "an institutionalized regime of oppression and domination of the Palestinian population for the benefit of Jewish Israelis".

Apartheid is considered a crime against humanity under international law.
