the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

Business Insider also reporting that Amazon projects it would take delivery of $3 billion a month in GPUs “every month for the foreseeable future,” all while not having anywhere to put them, as part of an “early rack receipt” program. Extremely strange!

This shit is so cool. They took away being able to afford computers for this shit.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

Business Insider confirms it: Amazon has warehouses of GPUs that can’t be installed, and is buying them so far in advance that a supply chain team said they “didn’t have a clear forecasted path” to installing them. www.businessinsider.com/amazon-220-b...

it is of course transphobic bigotry but it should be pointed out that the lie “people need the right healthcare for their biological sex” kills trans people. trans women get breast cancer at far higher rates than cis men. trans men get prostate cancer. hrt changes your sex.

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

I'm a big fan of the complaint she was "summoning witnesses with no notice on federal holidays." Well, yeah, that's what happens when you suddenly start destroying things on the weekend before a federal holiday. Maybe next time don't do that.

Some people, especially "legends," get so used to being praised for so long that the minute they say some backward shit and it changes how people respond to them they lose their entire minds. Apologies? Those are for little people. That's when the fascists come in to soothe their wounded pride.

Fortunately we trained a small but mighty set of thinkers in porn studies. Should they survive to do it, they’ll know exactly what this all was.

PRISONER 1: "Okay, so the cops offered me a reduced sentence if I sell you out, so I'm doing that. But if you sell me out, too, we BOTH get the harsher sentence, so I need you to stay quiet, okay?" PRISONER 2: (stares balefully in silence) PRISONER 1: "Yeah! Just like that. Good."

This post isn’t making a point about voting, but people with pundit-brain can’t approach any idea w/o equating it to voting, and so they respond by demanding assurances about voting—to which I say those who offer no assurances will receive no assurances. Feel a fraction of the anxiety you cause.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

The immutable, unnamed American law of The Dumbest Thing That Can Happen Will Happen dictates that the Democrats will win the House handily, as projected, and take the Senate 51-49, making John Fetterman the most powerful flesh husk in America for the next 24 months.

It's almost a joke at this point, but the entire story of Mamdani's mayorship really has been "it turns out we can just turn off the orphan grinding machine, the switch was right there the whole time."

I know no Democratic majority will be large enough and no Democratic leader will be brave enough even suggest nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX. But when our allies' defense is being toyed with by Musk, his treachery demands it.

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

If you publicly change your position that signals to conservatives that you're weak. They will drop everything, even the checkbook they're using to pay for their mistress' abortion, to attack you on that exact point.

YouTube ad served just now. The people these will win do not care what she said last week. It appeased no one. Dems: the thing that hasn’t worked for years isn’t going to now, because nothing you can give up will ever be enough. Concession isn’t a strategy, but theirs relies on you doing it anyway.
