they spent at least two of their four years exploring how to bring charges against 18 year olds camping out on college campuses to protest the United States' complicity in human rights abuses

"Why don't you go to the bathroom in more survival games?" is a joke that came up during our podcast over the summer. I reached out to developers about it, and their answers were complicated and fascinating, from spiraling design issues to the deeper meaning behind where to put the toilet

I'm still rooting for a game 7

somebody just needs to tell them a Black Harvard professor was involved

It’s a real thing I can hold in my hands!!

Hello, new followers. I track ICE flights and third-country removals at @prospect.org. This is what the ICE Air operation looked like yesterday, Oct. 23, 2026. --88 flights --14 removal stops --3 third-country removal stops --Nearly all adult passengers shackled at the ankles, wrists & waist.

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you time traveled back to when I was 20 and told me I’d end up drawing Beavis and Butthead as the lovers from Pompeii for an October daily drawing prompt I would have probably jumped off a cliff

Just to make this concrete: if I picked a grain of sand somewhere on the earth’s surface, and you went to a random location on the planet with a pair of tweezers and by sheer luck picked up that very grain of sand first try, that would be MORE statistically likely than Trump not being a rapist.

I remember watching "Westworld" a year or so after seeing "Jurassic Park" and thinking, "Wow. Crichton really ripped this off. Then seeing at the end that Michael Crichton was also responsible for "Westworld."

On May 17 1915, the ocean liner RMS Lusitania was sunk by the German navy off the coast of Ireland, killing 1197 crew & civilians. The ship had set sail for Liverpool from New York, despite explicit warnings from Germany that it considered all British waters a war zone and all British ships targets.

If this is from a Republican pollster then I REALLY want to see a high-quality poll of this race.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Oh my Goddess, it finally happened this World Series. The. Milwaukee. Brewers. ⚾

Refuse to get my hopes up in the SC senate race after huffing Harrison fumes for months in 2020, but damn these polls numbers are pretty crazy this late.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

there is a subset of ppl who are pro-AI because they think it will bring on the singularity and free them from their physical bodies which they resent or are disgusted by, thus allowing them to ascend to their true anime form

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

seriously, as a trans person living in Iowa I'm not voting for this guy and I'm asking you not to either

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

The Punisher would be a lot prettier if he smiled more and hung dong sometimes.

#HigherEd hot take: AI is the new MOOC. Lectures on demand were supposed to radically transform the university. LOL. Access to content was never the most important part. Students still need engagement, struggle, and mentorship. AI does nothing for that.

new piece by me x

Democrats lost in 2024 because voters 1) Didn't think Trump would do what he said he'd do, and 2) they think Dems don't fight. Namely, they thought if Trump were as bad as they said, they'd be fighting harder. This is the most important thing to remember when you see Dems cave. That's how we lose.

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Oh you want me to go see the movie everyone is talking about? Go see it at a cinema? The place where they literally drive a train at you?? not gonna happen lol 😂

New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot. 1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/poll-low-i...

new york forever. FUCK ICE.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

If I had to distill the most important sociocultural fronts being challenged by the US far-right today, they would boil down to the following three. I'm listing them from broad to narrow in terms of their issue sets, but I think they're all equally important and mutually entangled.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...
