A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

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.

I don’t know what to say. I was chatting with him a few weeks ago. I’m just completely shocked. This is truly awful beyond anything that I can imagine.

The fact Eric Bauza had passed on from hypertension (and sleep apnea apparently), it’s a good reminder to take good care of ourselves. Shit’s scary knowing that it can hit someone even when young.

Eric Bauza, an Emmy-winning voice actor who was the modern voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other Looney Tunes characters, has died. He was 46.

the vibes are Bad and gas is Expensive and that's all these people (need to) know

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...

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

400,000 barrels is about 77 minutes worth of gas and diesel usage in the US.

festering piece of shit.

We need to crush these people to restore a basic sense that moral behavior actually means anything at all. That is what is at stake here.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Trump tripling down that that the vivek ad is about not questioning a mother, then sundown yelling at reporters asking if stepdad rape is bad, seems like a way for a story to not fall away

I understand the freakout here but honestly this one reads as a sign of weakness to me a) peltola is going to win by more than the second dan sullivan's margin b) this argument is pathetic, and if their strategy is 'throw pathetic shit at the wall and hope something sticks' I'm less worried

Amy Acton’s Estranged Mother Killed Kittens, Court Records Show

"The U.S. military over-relied on AI for targeting in Iran and as a result bombed an elementary school, killing over 100 children. We have disturbing testimony from Israeli military officers that AI target selection made them feel morally absolved when they killed civilians."

Reminded of how tv news looped the images of the military equipment the Biden administration deliberately left behind in Afghanistan for weeks after the withdrawal as if they represented a huge scandal

Just like his father, Bill Elliott, did after the death of Dale Earnhardt in 2001, Chase Elliott has removed himself from consideration for NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award in 2026, in honor of the late Kyle…

A genuine betrayal

Actually evil shit

"As of this morning, instances of connectivity loss at speeds of 161 km/h are still being observed. There is currently no confirmation that these restrictions have been lifted," a source in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 23.

Eleven days after Ukraine's Starshield terminals started mysteriously malfunctioning, there is still nobody in Washington who wants to take responsibility, while Trump administration officials continue pointing fingers firmly at SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

Getting sick of this degenerate political movement ngl

There's a story to be told about the post-Cold War decline in public funding of technological research and how it necessitated, if inadvertently, putting such immense power in the hands of people like Musk, whose behavior is governed by forces quite different from national interests.

This isn’t going to be a thing. There’s not going to be individual citizens who have a veto on national security. People seem to be forgetting who the State is here exactly.

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

Trump claims that Vivek Ramaswamy called him to ask if he should pull his vile ad off the air, and "I said, you gotta ride with it!"

I think that democratic politicians should not forget that the teamsters are going all out to defend swing seat Republican ghouls like Mike Lawler

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Trump's reflexive desire to defend rapists is yet another one of those self censoring facts about him

There is just so much to unpack here

He is remarkably consistent in supporting alleged perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence and attacking their victims

I can’t believe Epstein’s best friend doesn’t care about child rape.
