I am excited to see this, but I would suggest that Fathom is a terrible distributor that did a terrible job getting this into theaters last weekend. I do not understand anyone who deals with Fathom. They have zero reach and zero muscle and it does not surprise me at all that they fumbled this.

WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department says it will give US visas to defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family.

anyone I know familiar with police procedures in the US? If there's a non-suspicious death, how is it treated? I think in the UK there's an inquest process for all deaths but is there a standard equivalent in the US or does it vary hugely by state?

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

latest thing driving me crazy about the current round of vote scolding is that even if given benefit of the doubt that these dems aren't personally transphobic, they're just getting votes, people are still being asked to put faith in the bravery of cowards kind of a big flaw there, the cowardice

I’m blocking File770 and will not be sharing anything from that site or visiting anymore. I support Paul. JDA is a known harasser and I will not give my time or attention to a place that platforms him.

Please read this whole thread. FIV is a manageable virus! Most cats who have it can live a normal, healthy lifespan with proper basic care. www.adoptapet.com/blog/adoptio...

In May, I got the chance to foster amazing FIV+ duo Cathy and Heathcliff. They arrived from the shelter with 2 one-day old kittens. Cathy was so thin the shelter had not even realised she was pregnant.

I tracked the content of Rowling’s tweets for five months, posting occasional updates until she blocked me. bsky.app/profile/bill...

Billie Jean Sweeney@billiejsweeney.bsky.social

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

With the clear evidence of Meta interfering with Brazil, I want everyone to understand that these algorithms are not simply the product of some neutral 'marketplace of ideas' but an active choice in the part of tech capitalists (and their executives.)

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

The regime of silence to unblock occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region will remain in effect until 10:59 PM on November 1. Meanwhile, the FT reports that people from Oleshky who wish to leave for Ukraine-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

I have sleep apnea. It was making my life so hard. I now have a CPAP machine and can function again plus reduced chance of stroke and heart attack. I was on a waiting list for 1+ year, so get checked now. (Severe sleep apnea is about 30+ episodes per hour. I averaged 67 in testing! 😱)

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

The sad irony is that there actually have been. I keep saying technologies like Zigbee and Matter would have taken off like a rocket had not the investment players only been interest in iPhone-like returns. Most people don't even know what Zigbee and Matter are.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning
