Bolsonaro's surreal new life as a Florida man

These days, he is wandering around Florida supermarkets, eating fried chicken alone at fast-food restaurants, and holding court for supporters from the driveway of a modest home owned by a former ultimate-fighting champion in a gated community south of Orlando.

Jair Bolsonaro’s re-emergence in Florida is a bizarre spectacle even for a state with a long history of providing haven to eccentric characters. The embattled ex-President of Brazil, who has refused to concede his loss in October’s election, left the country for the U.S. on Dec. 30, two days before the inauguration of his successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. On Jan. 8, Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed the Brazilian parliament, Supreme Court and presidential palace, violently threatening police and destroying property in an assault with eerie echoes of the attack on the U.S. Capitol carried out by supporters of Donald Trump.

Meanwhile Bolsonaro, once dubbed the Trump of the Tropics, has been hanging out a couple hours’ drive up the Florida Turnpike from his former presidential counterpart. While Trump is plotting the moves of his 2024 campaign, it’s unclear what Bolsonaro’s future in the Sunshine State has in store. His TikTok account broadcasts carefully curated videos to his 74 million followers—smiling families in Brazilian jerseys delivering baskets of bread, strawberries, flowers, and Nutella; time-lapse montages set to emotional music, showing Bolsonaro hugging children; and long lines of people waiting to snap a photo with him.

The journalist and the jinx in a suburban standoff

CLAIRE DANES GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION for her “cry face.” It is, indeed, a sight to behold. Engulfed by waves of sorrow, her chin vibrates, her eyes scrunch, the corners of her mouth turn down as though tugged by invisible weights.

LIVING IN PUBLIC

“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

The food pyramid may be back on the menu

EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that \"Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ... The evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to appear.\"

A seductive Dangerous Liaisons remix, with feminist intentions

There are no heroes in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel of end-stage French aristocratic decadence. Its chief villain is Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, a master manipulator who exploits her former lover the Vicomte de Valmont's resurgent desire for her with a wager that dooms them both. As a teenage Fiona Apple dryly noted: “It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can.”
