My cats are judging you…

I’ll say it: it shows what disgusting pigs Americans are that they eat their cheesecake right there at the factory instead of waiting for it to be delivered to a store or restaurant

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

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

This White House AI slop video makes Omar look so freaking cool

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Great thread, especially the math at the end

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

Fascists around the world are building cross-country partnerships. Any competent pro-democracy effort at home would do well to partner with and learn from pro-democracy movements abroad. So congrats and appreciation to the democratic movement leaders in Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil!!!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Yes it does.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

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.

Brazil. Absolutely amazing. Let's do it here next.

someday anthropologists will call this era the dumbassic period www.tmz.com/2026/10/25/n...

Jesus Christ, these people fucking suck. What is even the point of not responding with a simple, "Yes, of course"? Even for people who don't like El-Sayed, you sound like a fucking mutant who was raised in a lab with this answer.

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

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Giving criminal immunity to the person with unfettered pardon power is a recipe for criminal government. And that's exactly what has happened.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

For fuck’s sake

Did he think this was a private message or something?

I think the biggest takeaway is this: the fact that this company has a $1 billion evaluation means rich people’s only plan for the future is forever war and fascism AND that the military/police industrial complex is a bubble on par with a 2008 Floridia timeshare community.

Televisions. The family used to have a 13" CRT that weighed a ton and fried my retinas. Now I walk through a store and see 70"+ thin screens selling for a few tanks of gas.

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

Kudos to NBC New York for saying it without equivocation: "The US is to blame for the world falling behind in the fight against climate change."

This guy has the scared bravado of an absolute booger eater who’s gotten in with the school bully. He’s been told to brazen it out, and is only half convinced that it’ll work, as the current strategy depends on selling child rape as a character flaw for the child.

Wow. This is a fantastic ad.

Who needs the tourism revenue from RAGBRAI, a massive weeklong ride across Iowa, that is the largest cycling event in the world?

so we learned the russians and the dutch hacked jared kushners phone i am sure we have heard the end of this

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

"The Dutch solution [allowed the agency], when Kushner used the phone, [to] see his screen. Almost as soon as they got inside, the… service began capturing every image of Kushner’s screen." I don't endorse peer NATO intel agencies surveilling Trump's coterie, but they're w/in their rights to do so.

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...
