It ain’t over till it’s over but man the crew are opening up a Costco sized can of whoop-ass tonight.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

So strange that Russia is trying to help Republicans in this election, it's almost as though they know one party is on their side and the other isn't www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

Behold the gripes of Rath! Gonna be appointment viewing for the next couple of weeks at least!

Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

A nice mood-lightener for a bit of a fraught evening.

Also, please ignore the fact that I've spent the last five years telling you it's broken.

Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

An excellent thread on Elon's latest vapourware.

An excellent compendium on the Alberta referendum, with deep dives on the "Noxious Nine", from the always-thoughtful Sen. Paula Simons.

Booyah! The first half of the Edmund Fitzgerald World Series is locked in! Way to go Brewers!

With apologies to Sir Mix-A-Lot, 🎶 I like dead bots and I cannot lie…🎶

Can’t post this enough times

bsky.app/profile/wolv... All those racist posts from wink wink... "Paul in St.Louis" or those wink wink gop "tradwives" posing in ballerina lingerie while churning butter for their 13 Nazi kids while their husband day trades ... Might not be active for a minute. #Ukraine 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 #yandexdatacenter

Well crap here’s an ear worm I didn’t need.

All of this👇. It’s important for your kid; it’s just as important for you.

Oh man - he pulls out a “bless his heart”! ☠️☠️☠️

God it should not feel this good to have a politician just state the plain truth we all can see, but it does.

Happy Yankees Elimination Day to all who celebrate!

Nine days into the NHL's regular season, the Winnipeg Jets are 2nd in the league, without Connor Hellebuyck playing. Hellebuyck, meanwhile, has forfeited US $344,044 (and counting) since the Jets started their season without him. You can track how much money he's giving up, second by second, here:

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

the tech industry is about to invent books

100% this. I had a Blackberry. They gave me an iPhone. I said, "I really like the tactile keyboard!" They didn't say anything. I said, "I really like all this other stuff..." Blackberry pretty much died. They didn't need to shove iPhone down my throat like they were making iFoieGras.

Very interesting interview. Duane Bratt is always a thoughtful and insightful commentator; the stuff that keeps him up at night keeps me up at night too.

This looks like it could be good fun, enlightening, and infuriating, all at the same time.

US Republican organizers are in Alberta to help separatists mobilize their vote. They’re not even hiding it. They are openly working for the national interest of the United States. Cast your vote for Canada. Reject these treasonous imposters. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

If this reads like one of those Nigerian prince scam emails, it’s because it’s exactly like one of those Nigerian prince scam emails

This shit is so god damn annoying. Fix your country. Stop waging unprovoked economic war. Close the concentration camps. globalnews.ca/news/1208422...

100%! No time for apathy!

This is what it feels like trying to get to Monday Night Football through a sea of sports betting segments and Draft Kings ads

Dear Alberta, VOTE! 🗳️ NO to the 9. 👎 YES to Canada. 🇨🇦

This is the master key to deciphering contemporary debates about free speech. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/se...

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Well normally I try to avoid listening to this whiny prick, but I had to hear this with my own ears.

Part of what Mamdani is doing is explaining to people how government works. We've had 50 years of the GOP making sure it doesn't do anything but hurt and troll, while they yell that it's useless. Mamdani is like "no, it's for fixing shit and making decisions" and

Someone tried to silence us last night by damaging our Unity Bus. All they did was prove why our mission to bring people together is so urgent. It’s time to stop this divisive referendum.The glass is repaired, the engine is running, and we'll see you at our next stop Alberta.

Worth a watch. Also worth noting that it’s not the “stay” side that feels compelled to lie and cheat their way through this campaign.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This, a million times.

This is an outstanding idea for FOI requests.

Title 18 US Code 597: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate...if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Birds of a feather goose-step together. Time to tie these people to their fellow-travellers, and ask them about it every chance we get.
