remember when Elon took over Twitter and was having the engineers document how many lines of code they were writing as if more was better and not a sign they were not very good at coding

"Even if everybody who voted Green had heeded Eby’s warnings on the campaign trail about vote-splitting and voted NDP instead, the Conservatives would still have won a majority government with a nine-seat margin." @macleodandrew.bsky.social writes. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

Why was it that David Eby called an early election again?

Senate consideration could begin as soon as November 9. Please contact your senators now and tell them to oppose S. 5653 as written. Protect NEPA, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act.

Republicans don’t want students to vote, but please don’t let this stop you from making your voice heard!

INTERCEPTORS FAIL: Terrifying footage from July shows U.S. troops racing for cover at Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates as an Iranian missile evades air defenses and strikes dangerously close to American personnel.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

This is deeply disturbing. The Pentagon has approved letting DHS test a military “heat ray” weapon for use at the southern border, according to a September memo obtained by CNN. It’s called the Active Denial System, it fires an invisible energy beam that heats the surface of the skin,

Check your freezer space before grocery shopping. Doesn't matter how deep the sale if you can't fit it in. Guess we are eating freezer stuff this week. Make room!

Well, duh. Slava Ukraini and Never 51st.

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

Review of HAZE by Katherine Kerr www.patreon.com/christymarx/...

Starred review PW: THE FLOWER COURT "conjures a lush world & offers a refreshing look at imperial politics through the eyes of the servants & powerless. The plot expertly balances mystery, political tension, & complex interpersonal relationships, on the way to a perfectly executed final twist."

FYI! Tor has put up the whole first five chapters of my lesbian winter soldier book CALL ME TRAITOR for free here: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Valor's Choice gets some positive attention. "Kerr’s position as an experienced noncommissioned officer also offers a welcome alternative to stories centered on exceptional admirals or raw recruits." screenrant.com/best-militar...

No riding in Alberta voted to leave Canada. 🎉🇨🇦

REMEMBER AS THE ELECTION APPROACHES THAT IT IS IN THE GOP'S BEST INTERESTS TO CONVINCE YOU YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER. YOUR VOTE MATTERS.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Putin's toady: www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Nine former FBI employees who worked on Trump’s classified documents case sued FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Todd Blanche today, they were unlawfully fired for doing their jobs.

The title says it all: arxiv.org/abs/2610.10834 Still in the peer review process but we* felt it Important to get this out there. Satellite companies are not complying with visual brightness limits. Our estimates are that it will get worse, especially at twilight. *I’m a minor part of “we” here

Rogers, Bell and Telus Team Up With Canada’s Banks to Fight Scams Canada's major banks and wireless carriers, including Bell, Rogers and Telus, are now sharing fraud information through a new… https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/10/14/rogers-bell-and-telus-team-up-with-canadas-banks-to-fight-scams/

Socials can be very upsetting when you give an enthusiastic compliment and the subject assumes you're a sarcastic incel. And now both they and I are upset. Hate that. Will try to be even more careful.

A Trump supporter punched a protester wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt in the face at Trump’s rally in Youngstown, OH. According to Mediaite, police removed the protester while the attacker stayed and “high-fived other attendees”. This is disgraceful and sums up the entire MAGA movement.

Good news and a thank you to Ukraine! Bot traffic from Russian tech company Yandex’s network has plunged following Ukrainian strikes on its data centers.

Ben Meiselas: And here's a compilation of Trump saying many times that if any country bought oil from Russia, he would go after them...

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Writer Beware is a great resource for looking up potentially problematic publishers. They published this updated history of MRM’s rights grabs yesterday. Their history lesson on MRM will be better than mine.

🚨 ANALYSIS: Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel weeks before the midterms, despite analysts doubting the deal will meaningfully lower prices. Zelenskyy accuses Trump of using Ukraine’s peace talks as a “smokescreen” for his Putin deal. The full story is worse than you think.

We recently had a couple of very special visitors at NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory: Andean condors! 🦅 They're some of the largest flying birds on Earth, with wingspans more than 10 feet (3 m). Soaring with air currents, they can go huge distances while barely flapping their wings! 🔭🧪

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

The people who are so strongly into AI are really, it seems, against *reciprocity* - which is the bedrock on which human relationships and human societies are based. Reciprocity takes work. Favours incur social obligations. Care gives rise to and requires mutuality, presence, community, effort.

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

@sarahbethdurst.bsky.social Congratulations! links.indigo.ca/s/vb/iMDu1TP...

NEW: Trump’s DOJ put a convicted election hacker on poll duty. Yes, really.

Reminder!

Happy book birthday to Horngard by @emoontxwriter.bsky.social ! A new story set in the world of Paksenarion, answering questions we were left with about a boy and a dragon.

According to the complaint, she was told “the President wants this investigation.” Fields also says agents were pulled off active cartel cases to satisfy political demands, and she faced retaliation for refusing to participate.

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

Fabulous book. Maia is awesome. My comfort reread.

Holy shit.
