Microsoft has offered 60,000 employees, or about 27% of its global workforce, voluntary buyouts as the software giant spends heavily on artificial intelligence.

Neil Young Hits Trump With $10M Lawsuit for Playing ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ at Rally — Again

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Marc Elias: Trump’s plan to control who wins…🗳️💙🗳️

I missed the Clinton quote. Good stuff.

True

Haste makes waste. I see no good reason to do this, & especially no reason to rush such a pointless project. Hands off the moon. It's not yours. Fix the Earth instead.

I'd like to hope that Democrats gain enough power to restore everything that Republicans gleefully took away, even though the prophets of DEVO have clearly taught me that "wishing is for chumps, 'high-hoping' is for fools."

In Ireland we suffered under 60 years of Roman Catholic theocracy (they did more harm than the Brits in the 20th century) before throwing off the yoke of church fascism & become one of the most liberal countries in the world & I can tell u cruxification would be too good for everyone in this photo.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I laughed so hard at this that I woke up Siri. Siri didn't understand, & simply said "okay."

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

I've never had any use for Bill Maher. It's weird to me that other people apparently pay attention to him.

BREAKING: We're challenging the DOJ’s attempt to preemptively block Alaska from certifying their election results if President Trump’s preferred candidate doesn't win.   The Trump administration doesn't get to reject election results it doesn't like.

-It's 'donning armor,' not 'dawning armor' I'm glad I finally got that off my chest.

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

Trump is literally killing Americans—you!—to increase profits for his corporate cronies. Putting greed—not America—first and making Americans gasp (for clean air) again. Good work, NYT.

A new legislative bill threatens to dismantle our bedrock environmental laws. The sponsors of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act say it will improve energy infrastructure development. The truth is that it will fast-track environmental destruction. Learn more @therevelator.org ⬇️

Voter fraud is such a huge concern to Trump that he waited less than two weeks before an election to do something about it.

In the final weeks before the midterms, Fox personalities are baselessly claiming that Democrats want to make Trump’s high gas prices permanent or even worse.

Active bills in Congress seek to remove gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves from the federal Endangered Species List, all because they’re incorrectly blamed as threats to livestock producers. 📣Tell your Members of Congress to stand for wolves and oppose anti-wolf bills: https://ow.ly/bMjG5100iOP

Defective humans.

Now that prosperity through Trump has failed to materialize, Fox has changed its pitch: Forget what Republicans promised to do for you. Be terrified of what Democrats will supposedly do to you.

People in this building like that trump is deporting "illegals," even if those people aren't criminals. People in this building refuse to learn that "illegals" pay into Social Security etc. & get nothing in return. On the plus side, very few of the people in this building can be bothered to vote.

The USDA memo that was circulated to the governors of gray wolf and Mexican gray wolf states on October 12 is, frankly, a load of crap. The letters urge the governors and state agencies to lethally remove wolves to protect cows - the same wolf-scapegoating BS we've heard for years. (1/2)

Big pharma accused of ‘free-riding on nature’ as global fund attracts just $7,000

Last I heard, Prince William Sound still hasn't recovered from Exxon's spill in 1989. There's no such thing as "cleaning up" an oil spill.

Private equity and corporate ownership are driving up prices and forcing people to make awful choices about their animal companions.

Ladies & Gentlemen, introducing Trump’s MAGA Republican Party…🤮 Run like hell to the exits and go vote like lives depend on it, because they do!!!🗳️💙🗳️

Vivek Ramaswamy seeks to take political advantage of the fact that his opponent was raped as a child. But to his credit, unlike many other Republican politicians, he was not personally the rapist in question.

The party that fought relentlessly to cover up the Epstein files is now siding with a child rapist over his 12 year old victim. Who could have seen this coming? (Hint: Everyone)

With Donald Trump getting all the attention it is important to remember that JD Vance is an asshole too.

NEW: A major Russian propaganda campaign has waded into the US midterms, seeding a fake video that purports to show a former student of James Talarico accusing him of sexual assault. The group spread near-identical disinformation about Tim Walz in 2024. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

The Senators we elect this year will serve six-year terms and likely vote on Social Security’s future. Voters need to know where they stand. Will they protect the trust fund by making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share, or will they allow for an automatic 22% cut?

Under the Trump administration’s new rules, coal and gas power plants in every corner of the country will now be allowed to spew as much carbon dioxide as they want, worsening the climate crisis and endangering local communities.

The rush to expand AI is driving a wave of gas-powered plants just to keep data centers running. Those new plants could make you sick.​
