We need a team of top researchers from across the social and political sciences to examine how it came to be that a majority of Americans, very much including people with post-secondary degrees, believe that "viewpoint diversity" is tantamount to reason.

Seems elementary. And yet.

Will Americans vote Democrat to rebuke Donald Trump or Republican to rebuke Zohran Mamdani?

I enjoyed all the people who were making fun of the many job-havers who said they'd never heard of these people. One guy said he was amazed that journalists were unfamiliar because they're supposed to be up on "culture," so not being familiar was a professional failing. They make "reaction videos."

This is peak capitalism. Gambling on people’s futures and the nations institutions. I cant wait for all this to come crashing down so we can rebuild anew.

I'm not sure why this in particular stood out to me, but it's still lodged in my brain. We have gone so very wrong.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

Especially since they were just fine doing so in 2016.

We all remember when he said "brother Trump" was "an authentic human being," right?

“The nonprofit that helped get Cornel West on presidential ballots in 2024 received all of its funding that year through a conservative political network that has been bankrolled by Elon Musk, tax records reviewed by Sludge show.” 10/27/26 … 1/ share.google/s1Keh9Qx6ZDV...

AES “facing questions over whether his family is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood”—NBC Nightly News tonight, going all-in on Islamophobia to help Trump and Mike Rogers win Michigan. Beyond gross. This is like the third or fourth time Nightly has rehashed this story in the last 10 days.

That El-Sayed “Tommy” video might gave made the campaign. I bet many racist-lite people in the suburbs saw that and thought, “he kind of comes across as a regular white guy,” and saw how reasonable he was. He was polite, but absolutely gelded Tommy. It was perfect.

I wonder if Thiel paid him to drop out of grammar school and learn Python.

Well, they did take those hostages that one time.

For some reason, you never hear the anti-trans bigots mention Conniff.

The Internet told them.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

House Democrats are publishing their own news now. This is precisely the kind of thing that, 10 years ago, they would have taken straight to the NYT. I guess they didn’t want it watered down and bothsides.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

In comments at a private police conference, Flock CEO Garrett Langley said backlash to the company wasn't "real" and the work of "bots." Also he said his wife advised him to never apologize. Read now: www.404media.co/in-leaked-au...

Killing FEMA Workers After a Quake: Profitable?

If you wanted one headline to explain what happened to us, this might do it: trying to make bank off a ten percent chance of killing us all

Apparently real, from Tim Pool. Later this week, in Pool's "coverage" of the midterms: "Roosevelt Planned Pearl Harbor"; "Kennedy Was Controlled By Vatican"; "Constantine: A Pagan Who Subverted Christianity"

Are people still giving money to these obvious scammers? A few months ago, people who should know better were arguing to me that they weren't fake at all. One actually said that *none* of them were fake. That person constantly reposted them, maybe still does.

Most business journalists don't know shit about shit. "Growth." C'mon. This is vintage, 1998 bubblespeak.

Thomas, Alito, and lord knows how many other of the wetbrained justices when this gets there, "Yes, they are. "

This shit became Dog Bites Man a long time ago, so it’s not even the novelty of it. Mainstream journalists simply love MAGA, whether “reformed” or not. Put that together with “person acting counter to their ideology” and it becomes a dream story for them, second only to “I’m a liberal, but…”.

“Ok, ok. After THIS is over, THEN it will be the end of history.” — Francis Fukuyama

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Next, she was asked to add 43 and 39 together to determine the sum. The onetime chief executive of a major technology company had trouble sleeping while she stewed over the possible answer. She lost weight and started losing clumps of hair. Finally, she turned to Texas Instruments for help.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself." John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Donald Trump: “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Lula pulls it off! Down with fascism!

He's not wrong. It was their fault that Republicans won, after all.
