Covid is an undeniable flashpoint. My dad and his wife went to a large wedding in 2020, unmasked, a week before they were to visit our home (with two small children!) and lied to us about it When I said I didn’t want to talk to them again until I was calmer, HE cut ME out. Not the other way around

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

As a canvasser who’s done the work for the last decade since moving back to NC, here’s the only honest answer I can give… I don’t think about leadership at all. I’m canvassing for a specific candidate to represent my district. I am not trying to game the whole election, I’m just doing what I can.

“Caint afford to do shit” is real-person speak for “insufficient capital”

Jesse Felder@jessefelder.com

‘Tan said that OpenAI reaching annualized revenue of $50B in September points to a viable business model but offers little guarantee on long-term profitability. Tan also warned that insufficient capital could become the next constraint on the industry’s growth.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’ve been in Detroit for the week and therefore exposed to some of Rogers’ ads. There may be no man with less juice than this guy. Dry toast as a person.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Mike Rogers knows how to deliver BIG results: bigger hospital bills, bigger access to opioids, bigger war with Iran, and bigger gas prices.

Broncos running the “2023 Bryce Young Offense” I promise this will not work.

Jarrett Bailey@jbaileynfl.bsky.social

This is not a coaching staff that believes in its quarterback’s ability to make plays with his arm.

Pro-lifers miiiiighty silent right about now…

Nashville Banner@nashvillebanner.bsky.social

Christa Pike, who was supposed to be the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years, is still alive after the state tried and failed to execute her on Wednesday. TDOC officials refused to comment after the state’s second failed execution this year. nashvillebanner.com/2026/09/30/c...

The “Deshawn Watson comeback” narrative Fox is running with is infuriating. He’s not a QB who was bad and injured and trying to make it back. He’s a guy accused of sexual assault by 24 women. Fuck that guy forever.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

To start the game, this is correct

Jared Feinberg@jrodnfldraft.bsky.social

Yes, the defense is playing today. We'll likely have some new faces today, including safety Zakee Wheatley, who is rumored to be active today, and iDL Cam Jackson, who should've been active last week. I think the #Panthers defense will be fine. Today should see a rebound.

AI is still plugged into the wall right? Like, if we trip over the cord it cuts out like a vacuum. Feels like something worth noting.

It’s really even worse than that. We’ve been telling society specific threats from climate change for decades and, rather than stare into that abyss, most people just shut down. We’re just not a serious species.

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online

the thing about warning society of emergent risks is that you have to be specific for the warning to be useful if your warning is just "this thing we're building is so powerful it's dangerous" people are going to assume your marketing or in the grips of selusion

Ah yes, let me take my notes on masculinity from a guy who was so scared of Donald Trump that he ran away from the senate all the way to Florida.

Yet, Ben Sasse and the @wsj.com seem to think that it is appropriate to double down on sacrificing American boys to the death sentence that is this sport. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

Mamdani good at communications. What a scandal. 🙄

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."

I believe it’s Dans Sullivan

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

Dan Sullivan, the Republican former Mayor of Anchorage, is endorsing Republican Senator Dan Sullivan over Republican teacher Dan Sullivan.

I used to be anti-death penalty, right up until reading this

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social

"Jane’s stepfather made the more than 7,000 fake explicit images of her using the AI chatbot Grok, released by Elon Musk’s company xAI, according to the documents she filed last month in a federal lawsuit against the company."

At some point, we have to acknowledge that he’ll never lose his base (including most LEOs) because they also want to be able to talk like this, and they want to subjugate these “young beautiful girls” the same way Trump has done his whole life. Can’t negotiate with pedos, just gotta beat’em

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

An old man repeatedly saying “young beautiful girls” is a sentence that should make everybody’s skin crawl.

When I express my anger about one thing, it’s not because I don’t know about the other things, it’s because I can only talk about one thing at a time. If I could talk about EVERYTHING that outrages me at once, it would melt your face like the fucking Art of the Covenant .

Republicans want you dead, either at war or at the hospital. As long as they can make money off of your corpse.

House Democrats@housedemocrats.bsky.social

Republicans would rather spend your taxpayer dollars on warfare instead of your healthcare.

Brooooo this describes every conversation I have had with my MAGA father. I’d rather stick my head in a trash compactor than spend time explaining anything about public policy to him

Sen. Lindsey Graham died at 71 after suffering chest pains and cardiac arrest at his Washington home, The Washington Post reported, citing officials. His office said he had returned from a trip to Ukraine and died after a brief and sudden illness. His family asked for prayers and privacy. #US

Imagine being $400k in debt just to have an undergraduate degree from Satan’s butthole

Duke University, which has recently increased class sizes, has raised cost of attendance to an incredible $96,597 per year. Congratulations to the investors in this exceptionally profitable hedge fund. www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

Passive aggressive texts are definitely *not* a road to victory and I want to fling into the sun whatever political consultant insists on doing this shit

Love this for him, but I’m always amazed by how easy successful PKs look.

Hossam Abdelmaguid with the clinching penalty as Egypt advance to the round of 16

We should spend the rest of our lives reconstructing society to make sure dumb shit fucks like this can never accumulate wealth and power again
