How to fix the bug affecting 70% of the internet (easy):

More from yesterday’s oversight visit to CBP's detention facility at SFO with @rephuffman.bsky.social, @lofgren.house.gov Rep. Aisha Wahab. Read more at kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/10/22/b....

Yes, Claude Duet is a clone of Dots and Muse which are clones of OpenClaw. Everyone copied Jev, too. The takeaway isn't that there's "no moat" anymore—it's that it's probably a waste of your time to build general-purpose tools claude.com/…

In Michigan watching TV commercials. Interestingly, Abdul El-Sayed is a physician who will bring us Medicare for All and also murder every one of us, and I will say, although I’m no expert, that those goals seem somewhat contradictory.

I read lots of Scalzi with a continuous wry smile. There were several points in *this* book where I cackled out loud. I made my wife read it just so we could share the REDACTED bit about what happened in the REDACTED.

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

It had been a while since he said anything explicitly antisemitic.

WATCH: After the viral exchange between Abdul El-Sayed and a heckler named “Tommy,” independent reporter @marisakabas.bsky.social uncovered the man’s ties to Republican politics.

Texas, it’s time to lock in. Early voting starts today. Go vote!

Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

BREAKING: Philadelphia Eagles physician expected to miss 3 weeks due to concussion protocols.

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?

Where is the discussion/planning for extreme failure cases in case of a Blue Wave? /c @muellershewrote.com

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

Yes, who can forget the violent Reign of Terror (September 5, 1793 – July 27, 1794) in France, which was famously conducted by unassimilated people from third-world countries? [Checks actual history.] Oh, wait. They were French. Yale owes the world an apology for this idiot.

Boomer Sooner. Am I doing this right?

PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and asking voters to confirm where and when to return it. The messages have prompted confused residents to contact county election offices.

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Excited to see how the Atlanta Hawkeyes do this year and whatnot.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

1. Garland had to sue for testimony of 14 critical witnesses w/o which there'd be no case. The court took a year to rule 2. Garland began investigating Trump when he got to DOJ. He did not wait 2 years 3. Twitter delayed the probe 4 months 4. The J6 cmte delayed it by another 2 months 5. SCOTUS

It is very surprising that disabling iPhone/iPad auto-lock (say, changing from "3 minutes" to "Never") doesn't require an authentication step. Bad actor with temporary access to your device could enable it and wait until you leave your phone out and fail to explicitly lock it.

Hot take on a design problem being ignored: every power outlet a traveler comes into contact with between destinations should be mounted in a *horizontal* surface.

About to rewatch Arrival. Again. AMA.

True story.

A minor detail is missing from the headline.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

FYI when you go check your voter registration, or to register to vote (you can check your voter status, or register with your state's online election site) www.snopes.com/fact-check/v...

Why sports betting commercials are not like cigarette commercials is beyond me.

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

James Talarico on his "God is nonbinary" comment: “That's not controversial theologically. In fact, the late Charlie Kirk, the late Pope Benedict, all said the same thing.”

Texas is delaying the release of the state’s maternal mortality statistics until after the midterms. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

“China has more data centers” is not an argument for turning our communities into corporate utility yards. Build them responsibly. Protect our water. Protect our grid. Make companies pay their way. We do not need to win some stupid data-center dick-measuring contest with China.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

The most obvious solution in the world: make data centers pay for the bigger, more sophisticated grid we're going to need regardless.

A reminder for all the people who are still using genAI images to express their opposition to right-wing crap. Please, find another way.
