Not enough people are talking about the fact that Elon Musk's attorney might get elected to Congress next week

I got very lucky today. A tow truck was about to tow my car (where I’d accidentally stayed too long…) but he didn’t have it on the hook YET so he was like it’s all yours ! Have a nice day!

perfect, no notes

Ursula Vernon: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of your blorbo King: MY blorbo?! Vernon: yes Vernon: YOUR blorbo King: from my stories?!? Vernon: yes Vernon: from your stories

I really like the point made here: Dems should be making a public case right now for novel tactics like defunding Trump's corrupt prosecutions, to make them more intelligible later:

But imposing real and dire consequences on AI owners whose AIs run amok, up to and including prison, seems like a good way to make the inevitable evitable.

Rewrite every headline about an AI doing something illegal as the owners of the AI doing something illegal. Strict liability could end this madness.

Have y'all heard about this whole "European colonialism" thing? It's bad news, folks On this week's Workers' Lit, Isaac of the SDCC joins us to talk about the great Guyanese historian Walter Rodney and his masterwork, "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa." Listen now wherever you get your pods!

How to make an author website, the fairly quick and only slightly dirty version!

would love to see y'all dig into how this was won, for english-speaking audience. the past weeks of mass mobilization there has been insane, millions of people on a single whatsapp group coordinating flipping votes 1 by 1, coordinated hijacking of rightwing lingo to get around meta censorship, wild!

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

This looks incredible!

A substorm brewing in Fairbanks, Alaska. Often, the first sign of an approaching substorm is a westward traveling surge. This type of aurora usually looks like a bright blob of aurora approaching from the east, traveling west. This is very common for substorms occuring early in the night.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Lula Goes HARD

Cmon America, us next plz.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

This thread is super cool and has some really unexpected stuff

also for confused Americans (me), a reminder: Lula is red and Bolsonaro is blue, we want red this time

Okay, I'm blown away by how fast we are approaching the goal! Only $16 left to reach the threshold to trigger a new fiction serialization at my patreon! I thought I'd start the serial on Jan. 1st, but now I'm thinking November 20th? Surely we can get there well before then.

dems need to leave trans people the fuck alone!!!! what the hell!!!!!

Y'all have helped me buy exciting things for my homecoming, including a walker tray, bed risers, a toilet riser, a shower transfer bench, groceries, and grab bars. You will also be helping me stay in my house. Thank you so much. www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

This is astroturf, right? Like those “news” stories about the (nonexistent) Avatar fans who wanted to live on Pandora?

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

Library patron: are you a volunteer? Me: Nope, I’m a librarian. I love libraries but not enough to work here for free.

If you're in San Francisco, there are many signed copies of A WALL IS ALSO A ROAD at @greenapplebooks.bsky.social -- and some of them have special character cards hidden inside!

Reminded of how tv news looped the images of the military equipment the Biden administration deliberately left behind in Afghanistan for weeks after the withdrawal as if they represented a huge scandal

wow, JKR & HBO must be scared shitless about the backlash to the new HP series. I can't wait to cancel my HBO subscription on December 1st – you should too!

AI is a project of the powerful, implemented in the name of an efficiency that has nothing to do with the good, writes Jeff Sparrow.
