Bolsonaro's Son Stuns Lula in Round One

Flavio Bolsonaro edged out incumbent Lula in Brazil's first round, forcing a surprise run-off.

Brazil is headed to a presidential run-off after Flavio Bolsonaro pulled off a result the polls didn't see coming, taking 47 percent of the first-round vote to incumbent Lula's 45 percent. Every projection going into the vote had shown Lula comfortably ahead.

A run-off fight that close, in Latin America's largest democracy, is worth watching well beyond Brazil's borders. It keeps the Bolsonaro name at the centre of the country's politics and signals a tighter, more unpredictable contest than markets and diplomats had been pricing in.

Maesa Bets on Hand Care and Tween Manicures

The beauty incubator's new 2027 class is backing K-beauty hand care, tween manicures and SPF patches.

Beauty incubator Maesa announced its 2027 class on Monday, handing grants and mentorship to three early-stage brands built around K-beauty-style hand care, manicures aimed at tweens, and SPF patches as a new sun-care format.

Incubators like Maesa exist to spot where beauty money moves next, and this slate points past the usual skincare-and-serums playbook: toward hands as a neglected category, younger shoppers with their own nail routines, and sun protection reimagined as something you stick on rather than rub in.

A Ma Maniere Reworks Adidas' Slim Runner

The boutique's new DND Japan Square Toe arrives in glossy black-and-gold leather for $160.

A Ma Maniere and adidas have teamed up on the DND Japan Square Toe, a squared-off take on adidas' slim runner silhouette done up in a Core Black/Mesa/Gold Metallic colorway (SKU KZ9541M). It's available now at A Ma Maniere directly, with a wider release following on October 9, priced at $160.

A Ma Maniere has built its name on exactly this kind of boutique-first drop, letting its own customers in before a shoe reaches general shelves. The squared toe is a small but telling shift, part of sneaker design's slow move away from the rounded runner shapes that have dominated for years.

Rural Data Centers Get a Tax Break

A new federal law could hand major tax benefits to rural data-center projects starting next year.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, data center projects built in rural areas could become eligible for major federal tax benefits starting next year, an incentive aimed at America's booming AI and cloud infrastructure buildout and designed to pull server farms away from crowded metro areas.

It doesn't make the trade-offs disappear, it just relocates them. Data centers' appetite for land, power and water has already strained cities; shifting more of that growth into rural communities means the same fights over electricity bills, water use and local jobs are about to land somewhere new.
