People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

federal agents took a daycare teacher from a room of screaming toddlers in Chicago last fall during drop-off and it radicalized a bunch of yoga pants moms who started buying anti-ICE shirts.
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

I want everyone to internalize that these fucking "A.i." companies are inflicting this shit on us KNOWINGLY. They're doing this to us. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS. No bailout for these creeps, ever. Let their companies and their wealth and reputation evaporate forever.
wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

We need more of the "Fuck you, we'll leak everything you canned" shit. It hurts that this was canned, sure. But the PR backlash will hurt them in their bottom line when other shareholders get antsy.
One day after EA shut down BioWare, a trailer has begun circulating for what some claim was supposed to be Mass Effect 5, a game called Mass Effect: Universe starring Liara T'Soni and a new protagonist. https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-universe-leaked-trailer-liara-bioware-2000748858

Sony over here trying to kill all physical media and all ownership on all forms of media, not just videogames. This is why I decided to cancel my Cruncyroll subscription and delete my account. People aren't mad enough over what Sony is trying to do to every media pie they have put their finger on.
'Sony reportedly exits UHD Blu-ray player market' www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?sub... 'Sony Japan has discontinued its last remaining UHD Blu-ray player, UBP-X700/K, seemingly marking the company's exit.'

Sure it did. Just like how the Trump administration sorta happened to stop sharing information with Ukraine-so they no longer get warnings about impending Russian ballistic missile attacks-and more innocent civilians die These bastards have morphed from callous thugs to full blown war criminals
A stuttering Marco Rubio: “Nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sorta happened.”

Remember two years ago when the US government sold its helium reserves because of Reasons? I’m sure glad that had no unintended side consequences
FEDWATCH, on helium scarcity: “.. The result is fewer GPUs, longer delivery times, delayed data‑center buildouts, and higher compute costs—and with markets already bracing for an AI capex slowdown from rising borrowing costs, they’re now also pricing in a helium shortage that’s turning structural.”

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.
Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

As a Canadian gun owner, it's an easy sell to negatively compare our system to the USA. But the fact is that the 2A has completely failed in its stated objective. If you have the right to bear arms but can't when masked agents kidnap people then it's just the right to own toys.

If the disruption really is some kind of political intervention, this is only further proof that Europeans—or anyone in the world—can’t rely on any of Musk’s products, as they will be at the whims of the technocrat that still finds himself at Trump’s beck and call. newrepublic.com/post/216600/...

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”
(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
Gee, it's almost like everyone who thinks taxing the rich is bad *is completely full of shit*.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

This is indistinguishable from the white nationalist comments at our city council meeting last night, including the part where they started shouting “White man fight back”
Donald Trump is an absolutely vile racist. Trump: “The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!”
