i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I’m going to run for president and my platform is that better things aren’t possible and we really should aim lower and the only reason doing this is because I want to speed-age from stress for four years

LA-area folks who support reproductive rights, here’s a great way to do it! Shop at LAGRH’s holiday boutique on 11/7! Tackle all your gifting needs, stock up on baked goods, and pick up an emotional support chicken or two.

Brandon's first skeet: "There are no US academic field deployments of seismometers in South America now, nor will there be for the foreseeable future. That hasn't happened since, I think, the year 2000?" I asked him to expand on what that means for access to other countries' seismometers. Thread:

Peru doesn't share period, Chile shares nicely, Bolivia has little capability to do any sharing (but are happy to if you can figure out how to arrange to get the data), Colombia is open but requires knowing the intricacies of their website, Ecuador shares when their staff has time.

Your first instinct is gonna be to blame this on the It's Always Sunny gang but you're forgetting that Melissa Schemmenti's throwing a Halloween party on Saturday and she knows a guy who can stock her seafood tower.

Six men stole 3,000 pounds of frozen snow crab from a tractor-trailer while the driver was asleep in the front of the truck in Southwest Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

Yeesh. The targeted wells, the ones nearing end of life, produce about half of the methane releases. Methane is an even more important greenhouse gas. 🌎 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...

I don’t want to give Marty any oxygen but he’s posting about the popularity of the CRA in 1964 as if it became popular in a vacuum and not after over a decade of civil disobedience and protests. If anything this is a great argument for why we don’t poll-test civil rights: the people will catch up.

Matt Yglesias defenders on social media insist that the Civil Rights Act itself was popular (so a 1963 Yglesias would have supported it) but it was just civil rights demonstrations/protest that was unpopular. However, the former simply doesn't exist without the latter.

I’m brainstorming a social meetup thing with a friend and the first rule of it is anyone can say “excuse me” and walk away from a conversation at any time, because life is too short to argue with a stranger, and that’s particularly true On Here

blocking just isn’t a super serious thing, it doesn’t have to be saved for a massive transgression “I didn’t enjoy interacting with this person on the internet” is a perfectly good reason now you won’t find each other annoying anymore, everyone wins

What these politicians are doing when they put out dumb transphobic ads or say dumb transphobic things on stage is that they're weakening the movement either out of personal bigotry or out of doing incorrect electoral math, and they really should get shit for it.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with extremist organization Live Action that his intervention in surrogacy cases is about promoting fetal personhood—an argument that could imperil not just surrogacy, but also abortion, IVF, and some forms of birth control.

Tomorrow LA City Council will vote on a potential new contract between LAPD and automatic license plate reader (ALPR) company Axon. Under this new contract, any streetlight could become a tool of police surveillance. @rosalindjones.bsky.social reports ⬇️ knock-la.com/la-city-coun...

“Excuse me, but are you -?” “Haha, I get that a lot, but look at how normal my girlfriend’s appearance is!” “Wow, yeah, good point.” “That’s her CR-V right there, would internationally renowned actor Andrew Garfield be driving around LA in a Honda?”

Really hot celebrities should date me because I’m just attractive enough to settle for but not so hot that anyone would actually think they’d just seen, say, Chris Pine. No one would be like “wow I just saw Chris Pine at Laurel Hardware with his girlfriend, who is an LA 6.”
