RIP Walter❤️

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

This is perfect too because Polymarket has ads EVERYWHERE on the DC Metro claiming to be the most accurate predictor of elections.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Zelenskyy: The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions.

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

Enjoyed seeing this woman's work. Sustainability isn't just about producer decisions, but also consumer decisions, namely their willingness to repair things when needed. This type of repair is easier on natural fibers, rather than stretch fabrics. Consider that when shoppping. IG loosethreadsrepair

Come sing me a bawdy song, make me merry.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

These are students from HBCU North Carolina A&T marching back to their campus after voting early together The Guilford County Board of Elections removed their on-campus polling site ❤️❤️

If you are in New York and you are looking for recommendations of things to do make one of the top destinations a tour of one of the apartments at the Tenement Museum. A powerful and well thought out experience telling the stories of immigrants and how they lived. www.tenement.org

I really really really really really think it's possible that JD Vance has no idea how big an asshole he is.

Credit to @nytimes.com for doing this, but a huge thank you to @markjacob.bsky.social for everything he said. I, and many others, are regularly frustrated by all sorts of news orgs for taking the teeth out of headlines and sub-lines. It needs to be spelled out for those who do not read deeper.

We are supposed to believe it is a coincidence that Elon and Trump turned down Ukraine's access to vital internet resources the same night they are bombed by Russia? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

Even in a heavily conservative district, I don't know how they keep sending this moron back to congress...

In case you missed it: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

Omg this judge is FURIOUS about the 500 trees they chopped down. I have never ever heard a judge scream like this.

There is no known portrait of Columbus that was composed during his lifetime; everything that has come down to us is posthumous. So there’s no way to know whether he looked like Nurse Ratched clutching a sil-pat baking sheet in a short sleeved housecoat or not.

It is hilarious how a fake Talarico story promoted by the prediction markets revealed how much garbage information prediction markets provide

They received criticism for prioritizing acquisition of Dehorse

Many people like to laugh at medieval illuminations of stag-snails, oh those funny medieval artists making up anim...

It's really comin down out there (civilization)

I assume @hankgreen.bsky.social conceived and wrote this video completely independently from my post but the timing is nonetheless suspicious 🤨 (It’s good, you should watch it)

Was neat to have a video of a good-sounding band at a cool-looking show pop up in my feed. That’s all!

Susan Dell is Natalie Harp's Dorian Grey portrait

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

“There are no American kids willing to install roofs in Central Texas,” said one roofing contractor. “Tough immigration reform & not enough Americans to fill the void,” said another. “A lot of these people have been deported," said a Florida roofer. newjerseymonitor.com/2026/10/08/r...

Gawt DAMN

Danish artist Jens Galschiøt unveiled a sculpture depicting a naked US President Donald Trump surrounded by golf equipment. It was unveiled on the grounds of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg.

The last time I saw this many Yankee errors General Ambrose Burnside delayed his river crossing while waiting for pontoon bridges, allowing Confederates to fortify. He then ordered suicidal frontal charges against entrenched positions, resulting in over 12,000 Union casualties.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"jackson chourio was in middle school when covid started. jackson chourio was born into a post-Vine world. jackson chourio is actually the baby from the end of 2001: a space odyssey" -what my timeline is going to be like this whole postseason if the brewers make a deep run

Jackson Chourio is now the Brewers all-time postseason home run leader. He is 22 years old.

This brings me joy

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

If you think that you should not say bad things about power people, you are not a journalist. You are a corporate public relations agent.

Love my boy, #nationalblackdogday

wooooo weeeeee

When Third Way says that Dems should hold off their anti-trans strategies, you know things are changing. The organization tends to be more centrist, and they are noticing the same thing the far-right is... the Republican anti-trans campaign cycle is NOT working this year.
