Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

We've been gathering at Starfleet Academy to honor Walter Koenig. Feel free to join us - at times like this, Star Trek fans come together to support one another, and your fellow Captains are here for you, and for Walter.

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.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

What the fuck?!!?

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

The incredibly funny thing in the past 24 hours of stepping on their own dicks is that I haven't once heard the name of the candidate opposing AES, like you wouldn't even know they were running one.

The right wing overreaction to the El-Sayed "Tommy can you hear me?" video really conveys a "our guy is a block of cheese" panic.

This would be bad enough, but we are beyond even this now. We have entire blue states enacting anti-trans policy, and entire State Democratic Parties censoring their LGBTQ+ caucus from criticizing candidates on trans issues.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

there's a lot going on here, but I have to take a moment to appreciate that Tesla is at long last evolving into its final form: Disney he's not talking about a car, he's talking about an amusement park ride

Californians! Short ballot proposition guide from a measured materialist socialist here- they are CRAZY IMPORTANT THIS YEAR. DON'T SKIP THE MIDTERMS JUST BECAUSE CALI VOTES BLUE. Prop 1- Bond to build housing. Always good, if just a small cork in a big river. Prop 2- Give the state a bigger coffer

Why are supermarket freezers connected to the internet? Or, more specifically, a strong argument why they shouldn't.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

Bunker (2026): Javier Bardem's architect has an ethical dilemma when a billionaire wants him to construct an underground bunker, straining his relationship with his wife Penelope Cruz, in Florian Zeller's drama. A very relevant commentary on the way we isolate ourselves, if outright states it. #LFF

Not gonna lie, I pretty badly need more work to get me through the rest of October. I'm down to only one show I'm captioning this season, which is not enough to pay the bills and rent. Once we hit November I will more than be in the clear, but I have to make it that far first. Let's work together!

I'm thrilled to have a fantastic work opportunity coming up, but it doesn't start until a little over a month from now. Until then, if you need some caption editing work done, I could use the extra work for the next month! Please reach out if you make videos and I can help with your captions!
