Cops: “boo hoo we had to move some chairs” The scrawniest kid in youth group: “I will carry every chair at once”

Chris Sommerfeldt@c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The school basically had to fold because of the power ESPN has over the sport that they have inexplicably lent to this goon. Monopolies bad, Mcafee a baby.

Like realizing your parents aren't infallible, political adulthood begins when you realize the "great minds" elites rely on are all dumb fucking propagandists that capitalism lifts through the system because they're shameless in their wrongness and are willing to serve as dull priests of whatever.

We should have a political party in the US that believes this.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.

“Democrats have to join Republicans in saying awful things about trans people to win in red and purple states” Citation?

Not for nothing but: great work for the Dems who wanted to treat with baby gloves like it’d get them a bunch of donations.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.

washingtonpost.comAs SNAP rolls shrink, free school lunches disappearEnrollment in the nutrition assistance program dropped following last year’s sweeping GOP tax bill. Fewer children and schools now qualify for free school meals.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Matt Yglesias doesn’t champion his book anymore but Mehdi Hasan stands on business.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Clearly because Top Gun takes place at Naval Air Station Miramar.

there's a burger chain in toronto that sells "california style" burgers, which means that the buns are inverted. not a thing in california. im losing my mind at how stupid this fuckin burger looks. i can't believe they sell this as a regional specialty.

Barack Obama is my Eskimo Brother. (For real though, stopped in a random campaign stop I happened to driving past in VA and got to meet him)

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Would probably spell disaster for one of my favorite shows (Slow Horses) but Jack Lowden would be so awesome.

👏 Jack Lowden! 👏 👏 Jack Lowden! 👏 👏 Jack Lowden! 👏 Three of the four shortlisted actors for #JamesBond are Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O’Connor. Despite rumors, THR reports Jacob Elordi is not in contention. deadline.com/2026/10/jame...

Let’s be honest, a lot of them are cops

Years after boycotting Bud Light and purchasing "100 percent woke-free" beer, MAGA beer drinkers are still waiting for their orders to be fulfilled. One of them, a cop, tells @milesklee.bsky.social he wants jail time for the right-wing consultant who ripped them off: www.wired.com/story/bud-li...

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

“she says she still has no explanation for what happened.” Would she like me to explain it?

NEW: A Black MAGA influencer who spent years promoting Trump and Republicans says she was KICKED OUT of a Ken Paxton rally at the request of his campaign manager. The visibly upset creator, who has over 200,000 TikTok followers, says she drove two hours to attend and has no idea why she was removed

Someone in sports media is gonna go down tonight for an absolute humdinger of an offensive LDS tweet. I'm looking at the Barstool diaspora first here obviously but it could come from anywhere

“I understand you don’t even agree with the pope sometimes” is a catholicism powerbomb coming from a Sister.

wow -- a sister asks Vance how as a person of faith he can justify ICE's brutality. Vance responds by saying "we're trying to strike the right balance ... sometimes you have people that make mistakes"
