This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Absolutely ridiculous. I just now checked the NYT website. It’s not even on there - at all! Not up top. Not way down. Not. At. All! Chris Brown is there. Stuff about cookies is there.

Y’all!!! I am OVERWHELMED with emotion! Mahalia Jackson (greatest gospel singer ever to live) singing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" " during the 70th birthday tribute to Louis Armstrong…likely her last filmed performance. She was gospel's first superstar! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🖤🕊️ youtu.be/8C2cSMZ3Ftg?...

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

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.

We’ve officially entered post-wokeism. Not utilizing tech billionaires’ earth-killing plagiarism machine is privileged, elitist, and dare I say, maybe even ableist(?) Please adjust your behavior accordingly.

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

That’s one way to admit that white men are sensitive-ass, weak-ass, entitled-ass mofos who think everything not explicitly for them is forcefully against them, no matter the centuries of evidence to the contrary.

And having said (& meant) that, I'm tired of framing the protection & defense of any vulnerable group (trans ppl, immigrants, Muslims) as "the moment you compromise the rights of [GROUP], you compromise the rights of every citizen" because damn can we value & defend their humanity for its own sake?

I try to imagine it—hearing a vicious, down-is-up simulacrum of my lived experience wielded as a tool & a weapon, every single day, on the heels of all the other ways, implicit & explicit, I'm dehumanized by my society, culture, & politics—& I can't. I only know how it looks from here, & it's vile.

Everything about this article is depressing AF. The assignment, the parent unable to come up with words to describe their kid, the use of the plagiarism machine...

99% of GOP talking points can be knocked down if reporters do third grade level research and pushback. It rarely happens, which is why it's so jarring when you actually see it 🙃

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

why do men want to give women who aren't interested in them tips on becoming hotter? then you'd want to fuck me and I still wouldn't want to fuck you. surely that's not an experience your life is currently lacking

It's the biggest penalty ever levied against Mark Zuckerbeg's Meta, something that will actually hurt the social media giant's bottom line www.jezebel.com/meta-25-bill...

#WritingCommunity #WritingTips All "rules" of writing were made by reverse-engineering writing that worked. That's the only actual rule: make it work. Don't get so distracted by following rules that you forget to make your writing effective, whatever effect is your goal! <3
