I want to live in the future with the rest of the world. Not the gothamesque toxic nostalgia laden hellscape cooked up in some malignant narcissist brains powered by the obscene wealth of oligarchs high on their own supply.

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.

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

For-profit prisons for unaccompanied minors - during a time when ICE is separating children from their parents in the interior and mislabeling them unaccompanied. Think about where we’ve seen this before and under what conditions.

People on the ground deeply worried about Michigan. The unprecedented money and hate might be tilting it. Would be devastating if El Sayed loses. Hopefully enough people come to their senses.

Calvadore, the Kitty (C,tK), used the pat door bell to come in. Seeing Hazel, the dog, he evaluated whether or not to come in, and after 5 minutes decided no and slunk away. Slowest ding dong ditch ever.

Thanks to Vivek Ramaswamy we know how brave Amy Acton can be, and how small and mean Vivek is.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

he doesnt want to get in the middle of a war *without the govt directing him* <<record scratch>> Wait…Wut?

This is my dog, Hazel, judging you.

NEW: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from USPS’ cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

Back from the dog park, getting ready to run a bunch of errands in Silverdale, and maybe even grab breakfast out so we can get back before the chimney sweep arrives. #KitsapLife

ICE Says It Didn’t Hit a Biker With a Car. Video Raises Questions. Video footage shows the moment in Long Beach, Calif., when a vehicle swerves toward an oncoming cyclist. The mayor has called for an in https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/ice-detain-citizen-california-video-ricardo-gonzalez.html

Walked Hazel up the road from the house and through the forest to the housing development and to the dog park (car is in the shop). Super funny when she realizes, “hey, is that the dog park up there?”

7th person dead in ICE custody this year in Texas alone: "His daughter said her dad had a heart condition, diabetes and high blood pressure. He had medicine with him when he was detained, but she said staff at the center wouldn’t 'give him his medications'...” www.texastribune.org/2026/10/18/m...

Please stop platforming Malcolm Gladwell. America has too much lazy armchair pseudo-intellectualism.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

The Bicco Bike Bus is a large group bike designed to allow one adult driver to easily transport ten children with only pedal power. Used in the Netherlands to get to school, it is an original way to offer kids fun and exercise Original post

Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

Another danger of climate change just dropped.

A sobering comment on the staggering incompetence of the Trump regime displayed in stark relief today: it’s an op and a provocation. They are telling us they owe us nothing, and they are compelling us to submit to that. It’s not funny, it’s a fucking provocation and we have yet to stand against it.

Team Trump is telling you, in effect, that 4 years of Biden were so high-impact and transformative that they're utterly helpless to make their own mark.
