YES, this is it. January 6 worked. Who orchestrated Jan 6, and where are they today. It worked.

Like fucking clockwork. He’s early though, usually you don’t publish nonsense like this until you win the election.

Astute and cathartic piece by @espiers.bsky.social about Carville:

Has anyone seen anything from @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or any other elected Democrat in support of Ilhan Omar? Or just that tepid one from @barackobama.bsky.social ?

@gruber.foo Zuckerberg can lend X his credibility if he wants. You don’t have to.

@gruber.foo Your full-throated support of X really takes a lot of steam out of your Trump criticism. I have read you for years, and I can't fathom how you, a longtime champion of independent publishing with a loyal readership, can justify contributing your credibility to a fascist project like X.

A reminder for those at the back.

Vichy John Gruber was not a concept i expected to have to learn today but OK daringfireball.net/2026/10/x_on...

Totally in character and consistent with all his public statements. He‘s very stable and unchanging, he’s just unbelievably selfish and an asshole.

Why does everyone blame it on mental illness? What if he’s a totally rational actor, but he literally and obviously cares only about himself? Grampa didn’t become a racist because he got old, he became a louder, more obnoxious racist because he stopped caring what other people thought.

@gruber.foo who do you like for leather iPhone cases lately? You had recommended one that was not Bullstrap once but I forget who it was

My raised-in-the-80s self is still amazed to see billboards advertising cannabis stores and French fries fried in beef fat. Up is down!

Especially sharp and poignant essay from @monteiro.bsky.social this week, if you don’t subscribe, you should.

Oh no Dolly Parton died. She gave one book a month to each enrolled child from birth until they enter kindergarten. Her Imagination Library gave books each month to 850,000 children in US, Canada, tUK, Australia, Ireland.In February 2018, she donated her 100 millionth free book. Thank you Dolly

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

If we had journalism instead of access journalism, someone would have asked Jeffries: * Who called the meeting, you or Jared? * What was the topic of the meeting? * What was decided at that meeting? * Jared is not an official member of the government, so in what capacity did you meet with him?

I have attained Laundry Basket Zero, congratulate me!

Putting aside how gross it is to deal with the Trump people AT ALL: what could Jeffries be asking for, that he thinks Trump will actually follow through on? On what basis would he or anyone trust Trump? Jeffries has to go.

Susan Collins is one of the five wirst people in this whole rotten administration (and I know she’s a Senator and not in the admin). But her Concerns give them a lot of cover and she never lifts a finger to check them. Up there with RFK and Hegseth.

Bessent’s bond-market battle “is starting to look like his boss’s war in Iran .. a tangled set of objectives, an underestimated opponent and an implausible path to victory. And like the conflict in the Middle East, we are all going to suffer ..” @katie0martin.ft.com www.ft.com/content/b9e7...

Everyone should keep Canada in mind whenever any talk of an Iranian peace deal comes up. Our closest ally doesn’t trust Trump on what should be simple trade agreements. There won’t be a deal with Iran—and maybe anyone else—until Trump is out of office.

When was the last time anyone in the media recorded video of McConnell speaking and functioning? I don't buy any "statements" from him or any of his staff or cronies.

There won’t be a peace deal on Iran—meaning a written agreement that both sides publicly affirm—until after Trump leaves office.

People have such a hard time accepting that more people died of Covid under Biden because of specific policy decisions that he made. It wasn't just spill over from Trump. The Omicron surge killed more people than the initial surge. Spending Covid money on more cops and jails, was a bad call.

I have to unfollow @doctorow.pluralistic.net because his relentless reposts of people who link to his content are drowning out the rest of my feed. Once is enough @doctorow.pluralistic.net !

Happy fraudiversary!

The Devo version of “Satisfaction” is so great y’all, much prefer it to the original

Maybe? But I’m not sure what they should do differently. He announces a pirate’s toll? Report that. He walks it back days later? Report that too. The press can’t impeach him or article 25 him. And the craziness of his actions speaks for itself.
