Former researcher. Shamelessly geeky. I would like for my child to have a livable future. The odds aren't good. And occasional videogame, comicbook and Superman content, because, yeah...

The president has now been credibly accused of over 20 sexual assaults with a major Democratic report about Trump's ties to Epstein. No journalist is going to ask him about it.
This is how agenda setting and narrative work. Notice how the frame, in graf 4, shifts to "just eight days before Election Day". So instead a focus on the 50-page report, we get 6 grafs w/most of them tying report to Dems trying to win an election. Fascinating stuff! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

If the Democrats can actually investigate Trump and Epstein, then tht could lead to the wider network of billionaires, pedophiles and intelligence agencies being exposed. The network is likely underground and relocating. Light should be shone on Russia, Israel and all of Epstein's clients.
House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
Trump can no longer pivot away from discussing his obsession with Jon Husted's ass. One of the signs of dementia is the loss of social discretion. Such as screaming at journalists and revealing that you obsess over men's asses when you place extreme value on seeming very, profoundly heterosexual.
Trump says he examined Jon Husted’s ass to groans but then says Nikki Minaj has a nice ass to cheers
Grob sounds like something that Finn shouts about in Adventure Time. "It's Grob! Hold me!"
NEW: Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent.
He really is perhaps the worst human in the planet. A man who has killed thousands as a result of his racism and pure, unfiltered idiocy. A man who is HATED and pays billions to maintain a bubble that keeps out the voices of his critics. A man this broken should, at best, be incarcerated right now.
This seems like a big deal

I have refused many invitations to be interviewed by Piers Morgan over the years. This time I made an exception, on the condition that it be one-on-one, not a scream fest, and that it actually be about the book Astra and I wrote. It was... an experience. youtu.be/SMFQBQx-qSU

The UCP is correct that they can destroy the drinking water and still receive votes if they signal that they hate the queer community.
This cruel move by Danielle Smith and MAGA UCP❓ It is very obviously about hate, exclusion, and regressive BS that plays to base❗️ Alberta must be better than this! 👎 share.google/MaoUIsZIa2Fe...

Elon Musk's audacious campaign to keep Alex Gibney's Musk out of theaters and social media shows the fantastic power Musk wields in America today, especially the power to squelch his critics. www.status.news/p/elon-musk-...

I wonder if buddy is even conscious of his own words. He's literally saying "gender dysphoria is real" but that he opposes health care for young people affected by it.
every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

This is what you say when your advisers have told you that everyone has figured out that you're a vile, hateful, horrible person and nothing you say will change that.
NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”
People who have the slightest decency know that fucking over trans youth to placate astoundingly vile and bigoted voters is a wildly immoral thing to do. The political calculus is that there are so few trans people, so we might as well throw them to the lions. Be an ally to the trans community.
Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

Yes, but you know, how dare I, as a trans woman, question the Democrats? open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

"At Microsoft, we know that you suck. Kyle Hadley, we know that you, specifically, suck. But Copilot can help you to suck a little less. Yes, your coworkers will still hate you because of your toxic bullshit personality and 'jokes', but your work will help you escape the next round of layoffs."
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...
