Ok, Ubuntu 26.04 will be here in less than 60 days. I am going to dedicate the month of May to saving as many poor souls from Win he11 as possible by being extremely Linux evangelistic ;p

Well, there’s one candidate who still appreciates a Trump endorsement.

Israeli turnout now at 55.7% as of 4pm — up 8% on 2022 and the highest ever recorded in Israeli history. There are still six hours left of voting from 4pm and the Central Elections Committee says polling stations must remain open if there are voters still queuing.

Turnout in Israel is currently 44.9% — the highest ever recorded at 2pm in Israeli history. I'm optimistic this means the end of Netanyahu. Polling won't have reflected just how many will decide on the day that they cannot vote for the man who presided over the biggest slaughter of Jews since WW2.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

More signs of a perfectly normal economy

The midterms are going so well for Republicans that Trump is campaigning in Mississippi and Vance is in Montana today.

it is so utterly bleak and enraging that a new accusation of rape means so fucking little in this landscape.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Pikmin Series Happy Birthday Pikmin

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.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Congratulations Brazil, you didn’t Trump yourselves. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I found myself pondering this afternoon how many people would have to *disappear to make the world a better place. I thought that losing fewer than a dozen would help immensely.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

3 monumental elections, upcoming: ▫️Brazil: Oct. 25th, Sunday ▫️Israel: Oct. 27th, Tuesday ▫️USA: Nov. 3rd, Tuesday #VoteAsIfYourLifeDependedOnIt. 🗳️

Two critical elections tomorrow: the runoff for the Brazilian Presidential election which could cement Trump’s influence over South America if Bolsonaro wins; and the snap election in Serbia which Putin will be closely watching.

Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."

Literally the only person I’ve ever known to be given this test was my mom. She died of Alzheimer’s.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

'My "I DON'T HAVE DEMENTIA" t-shirt is raising questions already answered by my t-shirt...'

It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that. (I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)

Find me any other example of a vote this one-sided, I'll wait

Extorting Marines with cancer to own the libs.

To see the American Special Envoy kissing Putin's ass so enthusiastically makes it clear whose side Trump is on and it's not America's.

"The Old Town Clock has been a symbol of the city and a strength of the city because on the day of the Halifax explosion, it still worked."

Clots and prayers

Sounds like my prayers for Andrew Tate were answered.
