The bus came by, and I got on, that's when it all began. Hunkered in Phoenix since 1960. (Votes in LD27 CD8)

Both tribes walk into Tribal Council knowing the same name is in play. Will someone reveal a Hidden Immunity Idol, and force a different elimination… Who will be handing their torch to Jeff? The early votes are in. The fire is lit. The tribe is about to speak.

New Season of #Survivor "Kings versus Democracy" premiers next Tuesday - Can the torch and pitchfork tribes finally put aside their differences during Tribal Council on Tuesday? Who's getting voted out? Will Mike Johnson reveal a hidden immunity idol or turn in his torch?

I want to live in a world where financial crimes like these are prosecuted and punished without having to first get researched for 6 years so they can be on a bestselling book list.

Gina Haspel served as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 2020 when Cole made his initial discovery of Jared's iPhone hack. Why wasn't this investigated and prosecuted then instead of being held for a book deal to be released a week before the midterm elections?

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

❌ Past=Prologue, means prepping for up to 3 months of crisis mode post-election. Work stoppages, general strike, massive marches, peaceful resistance and more could easily span several weeks if mid-term results are overturned. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst is usually good advice.πŸ”₯

Albania is 5 months into their #FlamingoRevolution, which began in May with environmental protests against a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, and escalated into violent riots by mid-October, when students joined the movement, demanding lower tuition, better education, & an end to corruption.

+7000 "followers" = a single like. Why bother?

How responsive to election related posts are the Bsky feed algorithms? I'll try tagging a few posts to see what happens. It's hard to tell whether my updates get any visibility. Assumption 1: #Kittens of BlueSky (GOTV cats) get more views than less cute topics. Like/share if you agree :-)

#ElectionDay should be a national holiday - Like/share if you agree that pet pics are not a prerequisite for boosting GOTV & midterm election related posts but cat emojis are an acceptable swap. 🐈 🐱

At the other end of the spectrum, like/share if you think non-cute tags like #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles are sufficiently topical (algorithmically) when trying to build consensus that mid-term voting is not a spectator sport. Also #FDT

My ballot was delivered by USPS in ONE DAY. It's been received, signature verified & counted. The chorus screaming for voters to ONLY using drop boxes might depress turnout. USPS remains by and large convenient + reliable if you don't wait til the last minute. Hug, don't hate mail carriers.

GOP wants to kill/starve USPS, and sow distrust in it's capability. Don't help them. Those union jobs are important and mostly they vote blue. Vote EARLY though so you have options if the ballot gets lost. Maricopa County has great security measures in place. Trust them.

Having lived through 2007-2008, I'm wondering who is holding the bag on the credit default swaps of hyperscalers, and whether the insurer of last resort β€” Uncle Sam β€” will again be called upon to bail out the financial system.

β€˜The stock market tends to ignore off-balance sheet obligations until an inflection point. By the time equity analysts start inviting their bond counterparts to β€œgrab a beer to pick your brain about leases”, hyperscaler bond prices β€” and PE ratios β€” may be a lot lower.β€˜ www.ft.com/content/17a2...

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme β€” alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.
