All Portuguese bands:

• Peste & Sida - Chuta Cavalo [Punk]

• Mata-ratos - Armando é um Comando [Punk]

• Trabalhadores do Comércio - Chamem a Polícia [Rock]

• Midnight Priest - Ferro em Brasa [Metal]

Will be playing games with a friend I haven’t talked to in a while. Other than that, it’s just going to be a regular Saturday for me.

Yep. Center-left (and sometimes not even that). Even if he wasn’t my favourite, Seguro was the only possible choice. Rather him than that fucking cancerous far-right populist clown that is André Ventura.

I’ve heard both, actually. Ornatos Violeta didn’t leave much of an impression, though. Maybe I’ll give them another listen sometime.

Comme Restus, on the other hand, are stupidly catchy. I know of them since I was a teen. Speaking of questionable lyrics, I gotta mention Kalashnikov. Lyrical content aside, there are some great riffs in there.

+1 for Mata-Ratos, probably my favourite punk band from Portugal.

I’ll also add:

• Aqui D’El Rock

• Peste & Sida

And even though they’re not punk, you might also like Mão Morta.

Just found out about exocomics and spent the past 15 minutes looking through their Mastodon page laughing and smiling at their posts.

Except the ones who are dead 💀

It is true that their failure was due to internal corruption and not the issues that led to the subprime crisis. I misunderstood the question and concede the point.

But the subprime crisis (or the financial landscape after it) did expose the frailties (and in those cases I mentioned, corruption) of the Portuguese banks and was a non-insignificant factor in their demise. But I suppose you can say the same for a lot of other banks in other countries.

Portugal as well. Off the top of my head, BES, Banif and BPP were the most seriously affected, such that they no longer exist.

Iceraven, which is a fork of Fennec. Seems to have a nice compromise between privacy and usability and also tries to support more add-ons than the ones Fennec does.
