Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

This is fascinating, because it’s also happening to me (Writer Beware): emails saying a chatbot suggested the person contact me about a suspected scam or scam reports that have obviously been put together by ChatGPT. Or both.

What Marissa Odysseus, back in Mayer wants Ithaca after me to ask AI 20 years 🤝 what is my child like www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

"how did the likely serial rapist become president" is going to be a challenging question for future historians but so is "how did the likely serial rapist with obvious dementia remain president"

Today: We’ve got @mingemi.bsky.social comin in hot with her take on the WNBA Finals Game 6 timing debacle. Why is this happening? “So men aren’t inconvenienced.” www.coyotemedia.org/valkyries-fi...

i know it's the age of immediacy and frictionless and what-have-you but *everything* takes longer to complete now than it did even two or three years ago. it's stunning.

I’m always aware that even though my life’s good, too many suffer. #zentao

This piece at @theflytrapmedia.com by @sesmith.lol explains clearly why y'all need to stop sharing all that feel-good slop. Don't rely on vibes. Make sure it's true. www.theflytrapmedia.com/reading-rowl...

“Unfortunately, finding a stray tabby under a car and gently tying your ballot to its tail with a ribbon almost certainly ensures your vote will miss the deadline for counting.” — Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State

I assume Microsoft is laying off anyone who could actually fix the mess they made of their Office update, which is to say they're so all in on useless "AI" that they aren't taking care of their core business.

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Deep conversations. Meals with folks you rarely see. Convention bonus! #zentao

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

I hope someone sues them soon and gets this crap thrown out. It's absurd legally and it's way past time to stop this nonsense.

Elections matter, but our problems won’t be solved In just one quick fix. #zentao

Stories, poems, plays — each applies different rules. All can tell deep truth. #zentao

@elienyc.bsky.social in response to your question in your (excellent as always) newsletter this am: Gavin Newsom will do whatever he thinks is best for the presidential ambitions of Gavin Newsom.

I'm behind today, but I had some thoughts after the panel on Fantastic California at #WFC2026, so I did rant over at the Treehouse Writers blog. Brief summary: California matters and vote for Prop. 40. treehousewriters.com/wp53/2026/10...

Some people take words and show us what the world is and what it could be. #zentao

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

But I don't want a car at all. I want transit and trains and to be able to walk and bike places and live around other actual people.

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social doing great work here.

Imperative at this point for WH reporters to ask Trump to explain his shocking and troubling embrace of Putin and ask if it’s empathy, Kompromat, or manipulation? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/w...

Spending some time with good writers, readers, thinkers takes the harsh edge off. #zentao #WFC2026

Prop 40 is the first step. Pass it now and we get better systems. If it fails, it'll be much harder to get good wealth taxes in place.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Not just the fastest, or the cheapest, or the best, but the *only* possible solution to climate change is a rapid global buildout of clean energy infrastructure. If you're standing in the way of that, you're not working on climate change & should be honest with yourself about your priorities.

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

Nothing is secure, not even things that could be. Not civilized yet. #zentao

If you gave a nickel to a crow that crow would have made more, by billions, than Anthropic

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

This is a great idea. We can’t give him the money until he’s gone, though (and hey, maybe we could stiff him like he does everyone else). www.borowitzreport.com/p/millions-o...

What keeps me up nights: we have the tools and knowledge to do much better. #zentao

You’d think the mediocre whites and their AAPI allies would be happy. They “won” on affirmative action and black student enrollment has plummeted. But they’re not happy. As long as there’s *one* Black person in school they’ll still run to SCOTUS Their next target is 5th graders Me in @thenation.com

I don't play golf but I used to live in DC and this is the golf course that people there use. Of course, a lot of those golfers are Black. Just another effort to take things away from Black people.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Ah yes. Vote these people out.

The producers of "What Doesn’t Kill You", a documentary about ME/CFS and long COVID, are looking for people willing to contribute their experiences. whatdoesntkillyou.movie/interview Screenshot from Emerge Australia October email bulletin #MEcfs #LongCovid #PwME #CFS

Everything that comes out of his mouth is so painfully fucking stupid.

if you were wondering whether Alito's book is an embarrassing crock of shit, I can now officially answer your question with a resounding yes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

What sexists get wrong: defining power as “penis.” Freud didn’t help much. #zentao

ah we are going to get some nice reverse disparate impact where having too many black people is evidence of anti-white discrimination

Hating “those people” leads to violence and neglect. Not civilized yet. #zentao
