Outside a court of law with this accumulation of credible accusations spanning so many years we do not need to defer to the (essential) protections for those on trial. It's effing clear. Donald Trump is a rapist and should long since have been serving a life sentence.

Gut punch of a story about an Amazon engineer who trusted ChatGPT-4o to manage and reduce her seizure med dosages. You'd hope someone who made it into a top engineering position would have known the limits of AI circa May 2024 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

warning! weak thematic take to follow.... please be aware of all internet traditions before responding.... If 2024 was a National Red Wedding... does that mean in 2026 we get to have a Blue Reception? I believe that we'll be returning some of these "gifts" as we've kept the receipts.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

This report from the New York Federal Reserve just found that without Trump’s tariffs, the cost of many everyday items would have gone DOWN in the last year. Instead, as we all know, prices have shot up. Trump is choosing to make your life more expensive.
