Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

Making myself angry for no reason at all remembering the American transit planner that went to Amsterdam and was appalled at how little stakeholder engagement they did in favor of actually building shit.

Not every occurance in a sports event should be a "lets check the tape in ultra slow motion" opportunity for litigation. Sometimes just have an experienced, knowledgable guy who was watching it make a determination.

Correct. The #Browns have largely won in spite of him. While he’s engineered four game winning drives, Browns needed those drives because of his general inability to effectively run the offense for the rest of the game.

The fawning over Deshaun Watson is gross on a lot of levels. But it wouldn't be happening at all if his pre-2026 baseline hadn't been Worst Player in Football. The bar was not hard to clear with a functional offense.

This is the equivalent of micro-analyzing what constitutes a "Football Move." Just go by the spirit of the rule. If Tampa didn't have the challenge to burn they never would have argued it. #WorldSeries

I’ll gladly accept whatever guff comes my way for this, but I’m hoping the Democratic nominee in 2028 is, political questions aside, young and aspirational. If you’re younger than, say, 30, you might not remember how magical election night 2008 felt. Civic pride doesn’t begin to describe it.

GPS. Not only can you get accurate directions to any street address in the country, it will automatically route you around traffic jams and crashes. Compare that to a street map you bought at Waldenbooks with a publishing date 4 years prior to your trip.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

People were uncomfortable sharing drinking fountains with black people. Their need for comfort doesn't supercede others' need for liberty.

Florid Man@humintel.bsky.social

That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman? Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know. (I don't know any MAGA women)

Too many breweries in too small of an area making too many bad beers to support the industry, even if people weren't generally cutting back on drinking. This market correction was inevitable and it's a shame that it's going to knock out some good breweries in the process.

NBA games are like the NBA season: Nothing that happens before the 4th quarter matters

The Cavs squandered a 24-point halftime lead in Philadelphia, as the Sixers rallied in the second half to hand Cleveland a 114-106 opening night loss. ⤵️

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

It's incredible how so many people just simply don't believe anyone is capable of indepedent political action. Weirdly Eastern European Governments don't need the State Department or MI% whispering in their ear to be suspicious of the Russians, and want some allies!

Sabotaging American foreign policy in order to help win an election is one area where Trump genuinely isn't an aberration. Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason

i think the gop game plan if they lose the midterms is to george w bush him. pretend nobody ever really supported him, disappear him from their conventions, and then the dumb democrats and the media play along.

This is the third time in the last ten years that the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues will face each other in the #WorldSeries

Sorry for the Guardians. Good run. If you want a better chance next year may I suggest your $5.5 billion owner double the payroll and still have the team be well below the median franchise

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

The utter nerve of baby boomers to call anyone else greedy

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
