Really think that we are seeing something of a rule emerge, where the GOP campaigns running the hardest on transphobic bullshit are all falling well short of expectations www.jezebel.com/everywhere-y...

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.
It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

We get similar emails at Bellingcat, usually from peolle who have been scammed and have asked ChatGPT for help.
Seems like ChatGPT encourages people to contact journalists to solve their personal tech problems: „Last night, someone emailed me (…) asking for an “independent investigation” into why their Verizon cell phone service wasn’t working on their iPhone.“ #aislog www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

I've done my fair share of it in the past so my hands are far from clean, but given where we are, ask yourself if 2017 posting is really the best use of your time and if you have a big account, ask yourself ultimately who you're benefiting beyond yourself and the person making $ off your rage clicks

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...
Anthropic has proven to be a really good business and I'm not sure how much this site is willing to accept that fact
Just to try and pre-emptively stem the tide, a lot of people here are going to be posting the $66bn "loss" which is almost entirely about convertible notes and not the $1bn operating income which is the first cashflow positive quarter ever
This is Bluesky bait, don't take it bsky.app/profile/nbcn...
NEW: Anthropic’s IPO filing reveals an $80 billion loss as AI bubble fears and cybersecurity concerns grow.

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
Yes. My median scenario is Trump rants, it becomes their talking point, DOJ probably files some more junk suits like these, but then not much else happens. There's real risk of worse, some full push to go insane on Jan 3, but more likely it doesn't get that far, and also that would still fail.

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story
Trump: “Abdul El-Sayed is a jihadist. He should not be allowed to serve in our Senate.”
