Task 1 for the post-liberation State Department: free replacement on-demand for anyone forced by circumstances to have been given a Teerump passport

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

Many well-known companies that still operate today, such as the engineering company Siemens, the designer Hugo Boss and the pharmaceutical company Bayer, used forced and slave labour during the Nazi era... 📸 I.G. Farben factory at Auschwitz Birkenau, 1941.

Sir, I find your terms acceptable. Deal!

The daily "Dick Tracy" strip began on October 12, 1931. (Chester Gould’s strip had made its overall debut as a Sunday-only strip earlier in the same month and had appeared on October 4 and 11.) Here are the first four dailies:

And it begins, just as it did with Ukraine.

"My dad took my hand and said, ‘Honey, whatever you want to do, just do your best.’" Farewell to Oscar winner Eva Marie Saint (1924-2026) 📸 LIFE Magazine, 1949 #FilmSky #BOTD

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times?

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Most MAGAmorons believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that humans hung out with dinosaurs! Obviously, they saw comic strips like this NEVER-REPRINTED Golden Age one currently in Friday Fun.. #PopSky atocom.blogspot.com/2026/10/frid...

Enjoying this mid-'60s spy spoof in which unwitting slacker Dirk Bogarde is hired to replace a certain deceased secret agent 🎬🎥🍿 #moviesky #filmsky

I hope Zohran Mamdani thanked Benjamin Netanyahu for his UN speech, which only made Mamdani more likable. Even a gift basket would be nice.

First, the famed Rosie the Riveter image that is a feminist icon is in fact an anti-union image created by Westinghouse during the war. All discussions of memories of women and the war should start with knowing this fact. thesocietypages.org/socimages/20...

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Just saw a narcissistic, womanizing president and his clueless advisers mired in a war based on nothing more than his ego. Also: I watched Leo McCarey's DUCK SOUP (1933) w/ the Marx Bros tonight. It’s like writers Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Arthur Sheekman and Nat Perrin had a crystal ball. #FilmSky

Hey, hey, they were The Monkees! 60 years ago today, the Lads from Los Angeles debuted on NBC television. #tvsky 📺

If you want to understand how the American Catholic Church was co-opted by right-wing politics and wealthy donors. Read two books. 👇 Read The Neo-Catholics first. This was written before Trump even ran. Then read Playing God. You’ll understand the connections.

Anthropic researcher quits saying AI developers believe 'it could kill us all'

Xitter's algorithm is the social media equivalent of force-feeding geese for pâté, fattening up fascist ranks.

Paid by the day to rummage through a bankrupt light-industrial facility on the Near West Side and find anything that could be sold to a reclamation yard before the structures got demo'd

What's an example of perfect casting?

Noticing that so many stories of "nice communities" disrupted by massive AI data centers seem to be about white people. Wonder how many of them have been quick to dismiss research and activism about environmental racism since the 1980s, considering that field largely centered on people of color?

Today is the regional election in Sachsen-Anhalt. I wrote about it im my latest @wpr.bsky.social column 👇

We’re not changing it.

Interesting jeremiad against "prepare students for the workforce" narratives in higher education. In 1935.

Just dawned on me that we lost two officers of the Red October in a month

The fact that Trump wants to treat Canada as a vassal state rather than an independent sovereign is not lost on other erstwhile US allies.

Look how utterly vacant those eyes are. There's nothing going on behind them. Just a brain-dead performing monkey

The MAGA regime’s 50% trade war tariffs against Canada officially took effect in the middle of the morning. Canada’s Prime Minister says they will match those tariffs dollar by dollar. I’m an American and I fully support our Canadian neighbors against this fascist criminal syndicate. 🇨🇦

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Fantastic thread 👇🏼

"Our national debt continues to pose an existential threat to the future of our nation," says House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington, who has led GOP-only bills that increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion (OBBB), $72 billion (ICE/CBP) and $95 billion (Recon 3, in progress).

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!
