this remains, to me, the single most baffling thing that happens regularly I know it’s a power thing, but how the fuck are SO MANY dudes apparently sending unsolicited dick pictures 24/7 what is wrong with men

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

One of the few podcasts that I am a premium member of. Great team, great content (basically double the episodes!). Highly recommend you join.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

cyberpunk thriller where a team is hired to kill an AI CEO decades after his death

I’ve gotten a bunch of these from people, and I’m just… some guy. They’re very obviously people just copying & pasting messages that AI wrote for them, saying “send them to this guy, and he’ll complain for you, and then maybe a big tech company will help you”. It’s real fuckin’ terrible.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

The richest person in human history is bankrolling Republican campaigns up and down the ballot, but Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment shows which party is out of touch.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

I am disheartened to learn that as of right now that the theatrical release is limited to the UK and Ireland.

It’s important to realize that we, the players, are no longer the customers of video game companies. We’re just a source of money. The real customers are the investors, and no matter what, the companies need to keep them happy and show them that their investments are paying off.

this is a key point. if rates go up by a third or something but you got an EV and heat pump and zeroed out your fossil fuel consumption at home, that is a fantastic deal for most

David Friedman's failure to connect what Brad Lander and his group are doing on behalf of innocent Palestinians to the US civil rights movement is in a sense a betrayal of his father, Rabbi Morris Friedman, who marched with MLK jr & led prayer vigils on his behalf when he was assassinated

Not really the main thing going on here but I think one of the cultural signifiers of the reactionary right at the moment is talking all in metrics that are obviously absurd

"If your $100 was in response to a fundraising text or email, the single most expensive way to raise money in American politics, $65 is instantly consumed by the cost of asking you for it. " newrepublic.com/article/2163...

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”

In my most curmudgeonly moments, I don’t see why presenting the prose output of a machine built on mass theft as your own scholarly work should be evaluated less harshly than old school plagiarism. Traditional plagiarists at least had to identify and evaluate the works they were going to copy.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

This is a wild take when we’re in the middle of what could turn out to be one of the largest and most catastrophic misallocations of capital in human history driven by billionaire groupthink that was caused by a shared misinformation bubble that they created on purpose.

We finally found the paid protesters Trump keeps talking about

The thing is, we are already so far past this point

Vivek Ramaswamy's at that part in the campaign where the pollster says you're probably going to lose and doing this desperate thing could help but most likely not, also it'll be a stain on your conscience. Being Vivek Ramaswamy of course he did it.

Ongoing evidence that our institutional media is captured by out of touch Boomers who have axes to grind with their kids & younger generations more generally. (See Gay Panic of early 2000s, Cancel Culture of previous decade, current Trans Panic and Socialism scare, etc.)

corruption and fraud above a certain amount should be treated as seriously as murder. because fraud kills. corruption kills. when a congressman pushes a bill to, say, build a highway because they personally will make $3 million selling land for that project, we should lock them up for life.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: Grand Councils are Funny Things)

yesterday musk said that companies that "overstate claims about their product" will be banned from advertising on X, today he says that his cars are alive

These arguments always boil down to the same thing (yes I read it) "if you use your freedom in ways we don't like, we should take it away from you." Which is not, you know, freedom bsky.app/profile/pgou...

Biddy Blas - The most respected and fast racer. (finished now)

I appreciate a lot about Ms. Rachel but in the top 5 somewhere is that she demonstrates how effectively the powers of permanent, irrepressible theater kid energy can be harnessed for good

I swear to god the administration is going down the list of reasons pundits said it wasn’t fascism and doing them all one by one

Seems relevant to that flood of journalists who in the last few weeks announced publicly that it was okay to return to X, that the platform had gotten better, and the worst aspects of it had been minimized. This is what you have endorsed.

People don't realize how necessary cheap rent is to the arts.

it is time

Look I don’t think voting alone fixes everything. No one action will. But it‘s one of many tools and I think we‘re doing ourselves a disservice not to use *every* tool available. Please make a plan to vote early or vote Nov 3rd and take a few minutes to read up on your local races and issues.

Almost wish Tesla was making a flying roadster because the people who ended up pancaking themselves inside them would be the 100% correct ones

Peggy Flanagan runs the kind of ad that every user on this website has been demanding Democrats run for years and the replies are just people getting mad that she didn’t use the exact words that they wanted. This website is addicted to getting mad and should knock it off. It’s embarrassing.
