Microsoft offers buyouts to 25% of employees. Gosh. My advice: Take the offer. Look for work now, including self-employment. I was a self-employed coder for 30 years. 1-2 steady clients is all you need. And always be looking for new clients. www.reuters.com/tech...

Tedious centrist twaddle. Which is one reason Harris lost. Getting stuff done includes taking out the garbage. And the votes might be there this time.

Let's make it so. Vote early. Get out the vote. No rest until November 3. We can take back both houses.

Thank you Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil for showing us how to defeat corrupt far-right politicians. On November 3 American voters will do the same, by destroying the power of the Republican Party and making Trump a pathetic broken lame duck. Let's get it done.

Oh look, Meta has listened to what we say and promises to do better in the future. This is only the 1,539th time they've done this. It was all just a silly computer glitch or something like that. Certainly not deliberate interference to hurt the left!

To Archbishop Grob: As Hunter Thomson said, lie down with the pigs, they'll call you swine every time. Of course Trump would twist what you did to make himself look good. That's who he is. You had to know that going in. So why did you go?

If you see an adorable Washingtonia palm seedling sprout in your yard, be aware that in a few short years it will essentially become a very large weed. And your HOA will spank you even if you are their president. They somehow got the entire tree into one pickup truck!

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

ICYMI, Student led party topples far right corrupt tyrant in Serbia "The Student List's lead candidate Ilija Srdanović told BBC Serbian: 'This will be a free state.'"

Lula wins fourth term in Brazil defeating an odious nepo son fascist, who of course is sniveling the election was stolen. Screechy far right toddlers banging their rattles on the high chair when voters don't do as they command. Sounds familiar! www.nytimes.com/live...

We can win big November 3. Let's continue to GOTV and defend democracy against Trump dipshittery. Interestingly, Undecided voters care more about prices than decided voters, don't like how Trump is handling it, and many are disappointed Trump voters.

Charlotte has the correct perspective on voting for possibly anti-trans Democrats. Hint: Republicans are orders of magnitude worse.

Dump Google executives into these 1,300 acres that they cleared without permits or authorizations. Apparently Google doesn’t care what they destroy in their deranged attempt to build more data centers. People need to go to prison for this.

Imprison Google management there

Vivek Reallyslimy gets booed off the stage by people who should be his base.

"The Democratic party is more or less a normal, healthy political party....Party-switching is taboo, but not haram. The Republican party, on the other hand, functions as an authoritarian state."

Do not play nice this time. Harris and other Democrats switched to uplifting messages in final days of the 2024 election. It was a massive blunder. Instead, attack Trump and Republican corruption, incompetence, and warmongering nonstop.

Plus any investments must be put into blind trusts. "This is no way for our democracy to function. But there is a solution. Congress can pass a law banning the president and vice president from receiving any outside income while in office."

Nearly half a billion dollars flooding into our elections from one man. When Elon writes massive checks to GOP super PACs, it can obscure where his money is being spent. But via his own super PAC, America PAC, we can see exactly which elections he wants to buy. Let's dive in... 🧵

Alex Karp is unusually twisted and deformed, even by tech bro standards

Wedgewood fake polls "The surest bet for this whole thing still seems to be Jack Sims, a Republican operative from Florida who is a prolific operator on right-wing spaces. But we probably need to be open to the possibility that he may not actually exist."

Early voting by state. Check your state here and vote early to avoid any last gasp desperation attempts by Republicans to scare voters. www.vote.org/early-v...

Early voting was up 30% across US before the recent 3,000 No Kings events to encourage early voting. After No Kings, it was up 51% in zip codes where there were No Kings events. Mission accomplished!

It is getting seriously crazy and nasty. Republicans have nothing to run on except demonizing trans kids and screaming about communism. Trump is grotesquely corrupt. He started a war to defect from Epstein files. Let’s take back both houses. Then restore rule of law.

Univ of Reno Extension garden in Las Vegas. Little survives Vegas heat except sweet potatoes, onions, rosemary, basil. The rest endures and is growing now. Green beans, peas, carrots,, herbs, pomegranate, pears, salad veg. And the unglamorous workhorse. The compost bins!

People who are secure in their power don’t say foolishness like this.

Musk is severely mentally ill.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

Elon, you got some explaining to do about DOGE!. And many many other things too. There will be Congressional hearings, investigations, subpoenas, and more. "The sheer number of conflicts of interest are astounding."

"We are seeing the political death spiral of a regime under the tutelage of a mentally decrepit narcissist..." Let's take back both houses in November and end this.

Had Tom Dotan on Better Offline this week for one of our best episodes ever - a deep dive into the life, investments and chaos of Oracle, Larry Ellison, and his Big Wet Son David. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew0W...

Vance says he's "disgusted" with the Ohio race. To be clear, he's not "disgusted" Ramaswamy is siding with a woman who let her husband rape her 12-year-old daughter and pushing a lie so bad even National Review called him out. No, no. He's "disgusted" that some Republicans objected to the ad.

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

the fact that this can be about two different things today

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

As we head into the final weeks of the election cycle, this must be taken as a serious threat.

A billionaire wanted a pardon. His family gave a $50 million deal to Alina Habba, a lawyer with close ties to President Trump. nyti.ms/3Ubc3Q5

The top end model does 0-60 in three seconds with 10-80% charging in 12 minutes. It has three engines!

Tomorrow. "How to add nonpartisan election defense planning to early vote turnout support What a rapid-response mobilization looks like if election officials or decision-makers attempt to interfere with the vote or the count,"

The So Good band describes themselves as "ignorant brat pop" and "serving you princess punk" with lots of leftie in-your-face politics and energy. I am a big fan! youtube.com/shorts/J...

Despite Meta’s censorship, we saw a 51% jump in early voting in areas with a No Kings event. @ezralevin.bsky.social joined @chrislhayes.bsky.social to explain why we need real answers from Mark Zuckerberg.

Join the "final push for voter turnout, as well as what happens post-election: how we're preparing for election enforcement, how you can start to plan now to be ready to protect the results of the election."
