Why is "first, do no harm" a principal precept of just bioethics?!? Why is it not an imperative in every damn thing we do?!? #wecandobetter

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is facing backlash over an ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, urging voters not to elect her. Acton’s mother lost custody of her children after her husband was charged with sexually abusing Acton as a child.

Look, we all knew Ramaswamy was a massive piece of shit but apparently he was really worried that we didn't know *just* how massive a piece of shit he was, so, great job, Vivek, you've certainly cleared that one up, haven't you

Here's how you know it's bull pucky: read the small print. (Between asterisks in the alt text)

Remember when MAGA used to call this "free stuff" and mock the people getting it? I sure do.

Modus Operandi: ‘I will make deeply dumb policy and mind numbing economic decisions that will predictably hurt your farm and harm your family’s pocketbook but never fear because I then plan to buy you off with taxpayers’ money until my next stupid action.’ #farms #mepolitics #VoteBlue

Vivek.. dude. Lol. I dont know who told you this was smart. Even if everyone came out of this thinking Acton is a liar, they also come out thinking you are a horrible person for doing this.

Sad that the mother would stoop this low. Sad that Ramaswamy would put this out. Donna Arthur needs help. Vivek Ramaswamy needs to lose badly so we never have to see him again.

As I wrote at the time: Acton's campaign is already one step ahead by rolling out her brother to undercut their mother. www.rooster.info/i/219796506/...

Whether or not ppl cutting off their parents is an actual phenomenon (is it, really?) or just clicky outrage bait, anti-estrangement is a paternalistic, socially regressive position — it’s so similar to being anti-divorce that the two are virtually indistinguishable.

Not talking to your shitty parents appears to be working

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

A new Washington Ipsos poll, covering the period from October 9–13, shows Trump’s approval rating at just 33% among U.S. adults, a new record low. Sixty-six percent of Americans disapprove of the president’s performance, and 52% of them disapprove strongly.

Again, the scandalous thing about Elon Musk spending $276 million on the 2026 midterms is NOT how *much* money it is. The scandal is how *little* money this is *to him.* Compared to his net worth, this is roughly equal to the median American my age spending $40.

[Excuse me while I take a moment to snicker. Tee-hee!] Bless his narcissistic little heart. Tots and Pears, #Elon! Hope you find a new "girlfriend" soon! futurism.com/future-socie...

A wild thing about Harris is that he credits his father for teaching him about the horrors of socialism. His father spent time in a Soviet POW camp. In 1944. Remind me, who were the Soviets fighting in 1944?

During a deplorable Trunt rally in Syracuse, New York, a patriot named Susan stood up and interrupted the unrelenting flood of elephantshit propaganda, prompting security to escort her out of the clownshow. She went out like a boss, turning back toward the stage and crowd and flipping them all off.

Press release I woke up to, on Christa Pike’s condition (sent 9/30 at 11:36pm ET)

There is something deeply wrong with trying to kill a person twice, then sending her to a hospital for life saving measures so that they can try to kill her again.

In 2011, Trump said that Obama would start a war with Iran to help secure his reelection.

Ed Sheeran: "This is the most complex political issue on the planet" The issue:

Seldom does cowardice get punished as much as it deserves. But in Ed Sheeran's case, we're getting close. An Irish radio station - apparently big enough to make the news - has dropped Sheeran's music! It did so, it says, due to feedback from its listeners.

When you read Kraft’s statement, both this headline and the article it links to are enormously misleading. Kraft says he’s been asked to donate, doesn’t say he has, and doesn’t mention any charities. Readers could be forgiven for thinking Kraft had donated to the charities listed in the text.

If Democrats are rigging elections, why the fuck is Trump president?

Rep Thomas Massie: "On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted. I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II."

Boycott Google, as it shamelessly panders to that idiotic vulgar slob.

OK, universe. Try one more time. But you gotta use better aim. You have to be more precise than just "80."

"It's given a lot of people permission to be themselves, to not dream it, be it, which is the motto of the movie, really. I would like to be remembered for that." Farewell to Tim Curry (1946-2026) #RIP

Amid all these memorial posts to Tim Curry, I have to add one in honor of his mischievous scamp of a Shakespeare in the (otherwise extremely dated) 1978 miniseries Will Shakespeare. The Bard could only dream of being this sexy:

Good luck at the grocery store guys
