Also ... Maybe it is completely fine for the Cheesecake Factory to decorate like the Cheesecake Factory at the Cheesecake Factory. We don't need to spend massive amounts of the taxpayer dollars to redesign the White House to look like Saddam Hussein's version of one.

If you would like to vote early in person in California, today you can start doing that! Go vote! This is a totally a PSA and not me trying to reclaim the Most Early Voters By District crown from District 77 (I’m coming for you, 77, just you wait)

This is your reminder to vote early if you can — age 65+, those with disabilities and folks who will be out of town on Election Day. Visit YallVote.ms today to make sure you're ready to make your voice heard. Let's make history November 3rd! #MississippiMatters

It's Friday. It's World Series Day. It's also my BIRTHDAY. I'm now 52 years old. And this is my last ask for support this year. Habitat is still short of their goal for the year. Can you donate to my fundraiser to get them closer to their goal and help women achieve home ownership? Thank you!

I'm still raising funds to build houses in October. This is a great way to help build wealth and more Chicago housing stock. Can you donate some $$$ to help out? my.habitatchicago.org/WomenBuild20...

I love them.

Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

El-Sayed gets it. Every heckler he gets, he turns it into a great Sorkin speech. He's the Andrew Shepherd or Josiah Bartlet that some of us have been begging to see.

“I think America is big enough for all of us. [JD Vance’s] view of America is small. It's small like him.” A lot of money quotes in this @gregsargent.bsky.social interview with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, but this is the best one in my view.

couldn't a state pass a law saying that any item written/created with AI that is sold in their state MUST disclose the % of the product that is AI-generated? wouldn't this force vendors to disclose?

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the AI-slop Disney theme park guidebooks that are flooding the market, indistinguishably on Amazon among the actual, helpful books. These AI-generated books include fabricated hallucinations so spectacularly wrong, they're hilarious boingboing.net/2026/10/21/a...

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

So, another thing that more people will be learning about Brad Lander, is that he is very aware of people, circumstances, and dynamics, beyond himself. This means that “fixing something for him” is never the point. He will always direct attention to someone else’s needs and hopes.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Frederik Schaltz-Buchholzer is the man who was going to run this "trial"-- his defense of it is horrifying. And he should be shamed.

🚨 REBECCA COOKE SLAMS DERRICK VAN ORDEN At their WI-03 debate today—Van Orden’s first debate appearance since 2020—Cooke completely took him to task. Here is a thread of the biggest highlights and clips you need to see 👇🧵

I am so fucking tired of old white dudes breaking out the thesaurus to find "clever" ways to call non-white candidates uppity without using that word directly.

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

The estranged parents' movement reminds me of incels in a lot of ways. People who can't look themselves in the mirror attempting to leverage the state to force the rest of society to placate their ills, coupled with the perception of a massive group of people as property of another.
