How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

A social media video purporting to show a former student accusing Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of sexual misconduct is the latest example of how Russian groups are generating false information to influence U.S. elections, researchers say. politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Goddammit. The contempt these people have for everything wondrous and good and *human* is so grotesque.

The most uneducated man in the Country is trying to destroy education. We can't all be Realtors and casino owners.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

I'm against a state takeover of Austin ISD, full stop. Abbott underfunds our schools by $4,000 a student, and still finds $1 billion for private vouchers. Keep AISD independent and in local hands.

I'm deadly serious about this: every Republican should be shown this photo on TV and asked if they repudiate/reject/renounce Musk. And if not, why not.
Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

Why won't Democrats distance themselves from Hasan Piker
Note on pieces like these, not only is there no suggestion that Republicans should distance themselves from him, there's no hint that there's a reason to. No recap of his CSAM machine. No inflammatory racist quotes. No mention of the DOGE death toll. No history of his fabulist quotes.

Anyone telling an author not to mention their books here can go fuck themselves Also anyone telling anyone else how to run their own social media accounts can go fuck themselves too If the way someone does their thing here bothers you, unfollow/mute/block them, but you don't get a vote otherwise
A Bluesky user has written to me to ask me to stop mentioning my books on here. I wonder... Should I continue trying my best to make a living in a tough world via the writing I've spent decades putting my heart & soul into? Or should I obey them? Nah. I'm going to continue mentioning my books.

Montana has seen this before. In 2015, a pipeline ruptured beneath the Yellowstone River near Glendive, contaminating the town’s drinking water. Exxon paid millions in penalties. The pipeline is now back - and has already tried to use a waiver to avoid reporting required data.

@tom-lopach.bsky.social FYI This senate race is a f#cking disaster. Jon's legacy is going to be tethered to Manchin and Sinema now. Kurt is a nice man who is smart and hardworking. But he's a yes man; every time the Party calls he's all in. Unfortunately he'll be our guy in the Senate.
