Someone want to tell him that's not what "power bottom" means?

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Camels are so greedy.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

10 days until Election Day! This is when the political mail gets WILD. Make sure to submit your mail to paidforby.info: 1. Instantly find out who is really paying for the mailer — and their donors (federal elections only) 2. Get your mailer reviewed by an independent journalist (all elections)

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Friday.

The Flipbook of the Rings. More than 1000 artists collaborated to create a hand-drawn, shot-for-shot, animated, flipbook version of the first The Lord of the Rings movie. All 3 hours. Over 120,000 scenes drawn by hand. Watch the first 11 minutes here. [kottke.org]

how all of these conversations would actually go

Also the *specific* thing the mother claims Acton lied about was that the family lived in a tent during part of her childhood. The court records show that the stepfather was arrested... in the tent where they were living.

Hee hee

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

People with knowledge keep saying - in public and to me in private - that you get a pardon in this government by literally paying a bribe. I mean at some point it’s all going to come out, right?

Holy shit. That zoom out at the end.

I’ve been mistakenly added to an email chain with every retired Sapper in the greater Chilliwack about the demolition of the Legion hall to build high-end boutiques. So today I learned that a Sapper is a combat engineer in the Canadian armed forces, not a person who harvests sap from trees.

Maybe we should rename the Epstein Files the America Files

You gotta read this.

1. he’s so open about it this term! so basically republicans have had to move to “this is good, actually”, can’t deny it’s happening 2. it hits different, even for republicans, when everything is so damn expensive trump grifting billions stops feeling like owning the libs and more like owning you

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

Jesus never got to eat a potato :(

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I wonder who wrote this headline. Huh?

President Trump and the Republicans had a two year romp through every political fantasy nourished in their heart since The John Birch Society and Richard Nixon, and you know what: it turns out their ideas were bad and are tanking the economy.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Donald Trump.

Seeing the ever-escalating size of front yard Halloween skeletons better helps me understand the moai of Easter Island

Okay Markwayne.

1. I need this jersey. 2. “Look how handsome my opponents are” is a bold strategy. Let’s see if it works.

SO good: “…we are constantly strapping in for the future, making ready each time to throw out the communities, cultural practices, and values that we have come to appreciate in their imperfections, only to be told once again that the plane must return to the gate for another unspecified checkup.”

For me, this raises a lot of questions about the arguments underlying abundance liberalism
