One of the most dangerous people in the world now owns a huge chunk of CBS News and CNN...not to mention all of the other Skydance media companies. Don't forget that Musk is also the largest single donor to Trump's Republican party. Oligarchs should not have this much control of our media.

🟡 SCOOP: Elon Musk makes $1 billion investment in Ellison’s Skydance, providing a much-needed financial injection as the company looks to cut costs and bolster its stock price. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

“I think America is big enough for all of us. [JD Vance’s] view of America is small. It's small like him.” A lot of money quotes in this @gregsargent.bsky.social interview with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, but this is the best one in my view.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Abdul El-Sayed on JD Vance: "I think America is big enough for all of us. His view of America is small like him. It's about pointing to other people and making the argument that the reason *you* don't have is because of *them.*" El-Sayed came on our pod. It's good: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

This video of Donald Trump stopping to chat, wave and salute non-existent people is a reminder that you’re never too old to have imaginary friends.

"You push that new model live?" "Sure did, boss. Only an imminent risk of killing 49 people, just like you asked."

Mark Riedl@markriedl.bsky.social

Anthropic floats a sample bill. It would allow the gov’t to block a model that has a “foreseeable, imminent risk of more than $1 billion in damages, or of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

I think multiple units can coexist, like pence, shillings and pounds in the old days. Truss', Scaramuccis and Zacharias.

I genuinely thought of this joke on her first day and ran here as soon as I found out I could finally make it, but

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

Seriously, if your opinion is that you like the Nazi bar, own it. Stop acting like you‘re being an iconoclast when you’re just being an asshole.

I'm sure X is remarkably friendly if you aren't the target of racial slurs and harassment campaigns. Anyway, I wonder how many "niggers" I'll have to sift through if I start posting there again?

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Ukrainian drones struck three Yandex data centres in Russia, shutting down two and crippling the third. The attacks disrupted more than 80 services, including banking, transport and cloud infrastructure, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres.

Nothing is stopping your blue state or city from renaming its waste treatment plants and sewage facilities and garbage dumps after the needy, sweaty president. They could do it today! Give the man the attention he desperately needs!

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump floated the idea of renaming more bodies of water, following his efforts to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. “Before I get out, I think we should have an ocean,” Trump said at a rally. “And we need a great river.” https://wapo.st/47T8cKF

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

So I take it there’s going to be an actual head mounted on a pike out in front of the Pentagon? 

Brooke T. Sample@brookesample.bsky.social

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December. Just find myself muttering variations of "this can't be real" over and over again.

Forget AI. The innovation of the century is that someone finally invented a technology that could fact-check Donald Trump at scale: gas pumps.

thefarce.orgWhat if Democrats let Elon Musk and the massive forces of capital buy this election?It’s not victim-blaming to say that we must blame the villains if we want to make voters heroes.

Is that bad? That seems bad.

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

This would come across a lot better if he hadn’t just lost a war.

So League 2 if they get an IFR playing license, probably National League North if not. I think the moral of the story is "don't cheat". /ends

If there is any justice, Schmitt will always and forever be known as Hawkeye.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.
