Great work by @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

Note: he has no idea what a Cheesecake Factory looks like inside. Come on, he's never been to one! (If he had, he'd be like, hey they have good taste.)

The same day a court threw out the Trump administration's firing of Comey's daughter, the Trump administration goes back, for the third time, to try to indict the head of the FBI who refused to swear loyalty to the President. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Lula's victory in Brazil means a lot to a ton of people in the country, including transgender people. So when Lula won, it was a major moment of celebration when he turned to kiss a popular transgender lawmaker on the cheek. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Bears repeating: the house philosopher for half of Silicon Valley and JD Vance is a racist who hates democracy

do they realize telling people theyre not feeling what theyre feeling is a huge turn off?

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

In case you are choosing your 2028 Democratic presidential nominee based on Halloween costume, here is Gov Pritzker as Buzz Lightyear at the governor’s mansion trick-or-treat (from his IG)

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Very useful history here, delivered very efficiently:

Well stated. Also, the latest on attacks on voting in CA and AK. (Seems weird to pick CA for ballot lawsuits, that's not gonna change the outcome of the Senate races, but ok...guess that goes to the main point of dangerous AND absurd...)

Politico actively running a lie to demoralize Democrats and make them read out of anxiety sounds about right

Encouraging sign that Democrats will play hardball if they win the midterms.

it literally does?

Everyone knows—*everyone*—that Musk was pissed about the Russian data center (which, no, wasn't a bot farm but he didn't like the implications of going after data centers in general) and he retaliated by restricting Starshield. Like, can we please stop pretending.

He's a national security risk and at least that portion of his business needs to be nationalized or, at least, taken away from him.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029

Vote in numbers too big to rig, march in numbers too hard to ignore.

Wealth tax results in Norway: - Less than 100 rich people left Norway - No evidence of significant outbound migration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors - Tax revenue up 71.5% The "controversy" is artificial marketing... the results are real www.nber.org/system/files...

Why do shareholders get the rewards when workers create the wealth a company generates? Is it time to rethink just what companies are for and to require that the rewards be shared more fairly? youtu.be/15r28WaimP8?...

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

This may shock you, but the far right Bolsonaro is a hypocritical piss-baby.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Dominoes are falling.

Our digital world has been doing just fine without data centres. The sudden need for them coincides with a huge surge in surveillance technology run by faulty malfunctioning AI. Expanding its memory won't help it perform better but it will allow its owners to collect more data on YOU.

What a dystopian world the billionaires want for us. Go away.

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

WHAT THE FUCK??

Off topic did he swallow a frog?? I mean I can't judge too much, my voice is crap right now b/c of two nights in loud places catching up with old friends, but also, I don't exercise my voice much between (you know, desk jockey and all) so sudden overuse always does this. He talks 24/7.

tbh a lot of his voters probably really don't

my main takeaway from the cheesecake factory thing is that I remain extremely sad we never got an obama versus trump general election matchup obama would have broken him in half, rural dipshit whispering powers or no

They don’t want to confront the rank racism that lies at the heart of today’s Republican Party and pretending that black voters are drifting away from Democrats and flirting with the GOP is an essential part of that.

Amazing how many news outlets obtain “exclusive” Peter Thiel Antichrist lecture transcripts (that everyone also seems to have). Almost as if the lectures aren’t meant to be secret at all.🤔

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

Seems like maybe we should get off hydrocarbons?

ACAB. Also, they SUCK at their jobs.

"Stop the nonsense from both extremes" AYFKM?? Get the FUCK out of here. No majority is worth that kind of bullshit on basic human rights. Fuck off. If we can't protect those rights as a party why are we doing this at all??

Some things are good for the soul. A weekend reconnecting with people who helped make you who are is one of them. Band geeks forever. ✌️

Cook Political moves 19 more House ratings toward Dems. The total of Lean/Likely/Solid D races passes 218 for the first time this cycle (number needed for majority).

Sorry, I missed this story, I was busy watching a Chevron ad about how I can do my part in reducing pollution by buying a slightly more fuel efficient car.
