This Is So worth The Watch

RIP Susan Saint James.

RIP, Pavel Chekov. consequence.net/2026/10/walt...

Putting out some non-political stuff this monday morning. Anyone else out there watch the #Carrie miniseries? I felt the cyberbullying angle was appropriate & timely, & the casting overall was really good. Thoughts?

saw the clip over the weekend, and I have to say, he's kinda right.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Such pure nonsense.

Gets me every time.

For those keeping count, a Zacharia is 5/8 of a Scaramucci. We can round it down to 1/2 if it makes it easier to keep track.

Next....

Vote early everyone! Do not wait until the last day to vote! We got this! Show up early and let’s win! #Voteblue #Blues

I thought it was going to be the courts who would put the brakes on the whole lvestream thing. Color me surprised.

This Katie Zacharia person sounds like she’s reading a school report in front of the class. And I’m loving @jenpsaki.bsky.social and her play by play analysis.

Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a "serial child molester." He was a registered sex offender.

Full-page ads demanding the execution of five innocent teens of color. Public sympathy for men accused of gang rape to attack Letitia James, a Black woman prosecutor. lincolnsquare.media #Trump #CentralPark5 #Cornell7 #LetitiaJames

Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews performed Fortunate Son (Creedence Clearwater cover) at the Power to the People concert in Columbia, Maryland (October 3, 2026).

At the UN, #AmandaNguyen asked each speaker/honoree to share her baby photo, a reminder that before these women became iconic, they were powerless little girls with dreams. Amanda’s message was powerful: The girl in all of us is still there. Do it for her Speak up for her ♥️ #SheShed #women

White House is violating court’s order with impunity, and CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are heading back to court. DOJ’s options are to admit incompetence or confess contempt of a court order and the rule of law.

I heard on the radio earlier that Chat GPT & Google (Deep Mind) are advocating for gov't regulations of AI. And Anthropic is talking abt possible "doomsday" type scenarios. IF the people working on developing the thing are raising cautionary flags, it begs the question- why continue working on it?

Se me olvidó mencionar que el 23 de septiembre también es el aniversario 25 del asesinato de Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, comandante del Ejército Popular Boricua-Macheteros, a manos del FBI. La Comisión de Derechos Civiles de Puerto Rico declaró su asesinato como ilegal. #VivaPuertoRicoLibre

This. I think it'll take a generation (at least) in order to gain enough trust from the world to begin rebuilding those relationships.

What a f'ing baby. That's all I got.

I'd thought this was maybe overblown since dropping a specific mention of bestiality as part of a normal update because it's awkward and antiquated and doesn't really ever come up or whatever, but no I guess this actually was Kash had his ear bent by some weirdo pleading about how unfair it was.

What's the over/under Bartiromo ends up at 60 Minutes? Unless she's going to Newsmax or OAN in order ot legitimize them as "news" organizations. Seriously, though, my guess is she'll start her own online show, just like Don Lemon, Tucker, Jim Acosta, and several others...

You may not like politics. You may decide not to vote. Here’s the rub… Like them or not, politics will and do rule your life, freedoms, and future. Start voting to show you “get it!” Want better? Vote from the bottom up and make it BLUE! #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

Dammit! Dolly Parton died

Just another day where White House officials say the kind of shit that would've previously kicked off a months-long debate on civility

Thank you, Biden!

Generational damage for the sake of friendship! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

♥️💐 rest in power & paradise lovely soul 👑♥️💐🕊♥️🌿

Wishing all my fellow lefties a happy lefthanders day. ❤️👍🤜💁‍♂️🫳❤️

The funny thing with Christian nationalism is that it’s not about faith, it’s about money & white power. Plain & simple. Because the likes of Talarico & Buttigieg, they practice what they preach. You get what I’m saying. #Pinks
