This is just the creepiest shit from the creepiest people. What are we doing?

Amanda Katz@katzish.bsky.social

It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

Ramaswamy seems determined to lock down the pedophile vote.

Prasad Jallepalli, MD, PhD@prasad.bsky.social

local12.com/news/local/q... the Ramaswamy ad includes "a few shots of the woman's husband Vernon Edwards, who was convicted of gross sexual imposition in 2006 for molesting several of his nieces under the age of 13." at least they're consistent?

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Trump's support for Ramaswamy isn't intensifying "despite" GOP blowback. It's intensifying BECAUSE of the blowback and his raging misogyny.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

President Donald Trump stepped up his support for a controversial ad featuring the estranged mother of Ohio’s Democratic candidate for governor, Amy Acton, despite intensifying Republican opposition to the campaign spot.

Do contempt of court and perjury even exists anymore?

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

He is vile, and the same should be said of anyone who votes for him.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

No one, except everyone, saw this coming.

CNN@cnn.com

President Donald Trump on Thursday encouraged Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to keep running a controversial ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother. CNN's Kaitlan Collins reports. Read more: https://cnn.it/3UH9xBq

🥚 Imagine finding out when you are in your 60s that 1) you’re adopted and 2) not born in the U.S. and 3) your parents never filed naturalization papers because you are arrested by ICE for VOTING and hauled into court in shackles. Just happened in Syracuse,NY: www.syracuse.com/news/2026/10...

Let's be clear: He's calling the people who played there "trash."

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump criticized East Potomac Golf Links by referring to it as “Trash Island,” but golfers and officials say the course has improved. It has been upgraded since 2020, but the Trump administration plans to transform it into a championship course.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

The Trump administration — a noun, a verb, some racist lies.

Jacobin@jacobinmag.bsky.social

Donald Trump and J. D. Vance have called France’s protests the work of Muslim and Third World invaders. Ignoring the movement’s roots in high schooler demonstrations, they are using violent episodes to paint a dark picture of racial conflict.

In a 2017 column @globeopinion.bsky.social column, I called Trump "Putin's chew toy." It was true then, and it's true now with even more dire repercussions for the world.

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social

You know how you can tell people who are still wilfully denying reality? They're telling you Trump has recently changed course, become more pro-Russian, or pivoted against Ukraine. This is nonsense. Trump has been with Putin throughout. Its just the press failed to see it.

The most pathetic thing is Crawford claimed that she deleted that tweet because it "was a violation of CBS News standards," as if CBS News still has standards.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Kara Swisher says she would fire Jan Crawford if she ran @CBSNews(max) over her now-deleted tweet helping the fake attacks on @abdulelsayed.bsky.social “She could not even get the basic journalism of what was said right”

These people think they can get anything with a bribe.

CNN@cnn.com

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

The only thing Trump loves better than destroying things is destroying things that regular folks love.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

News of President Trump’s plan to shut down East Potomac Links for about 15 months and transform all of Hains Point into a championship-level course was about as welcome as triple-bogey on a par-3. “I think it’s a bunch of bulls---,” one D.C. resident said.

What happens when billionaires care more about protecting their trillionaire pal than free speech.

Replying to @juliusgoat.bsky.social

"I suppose you could say that insisting on the rights of all people is issuing a "political purity test." But this ignores the fact that those who refuse to enter the tent unless you push other people out of the tent are *also* issuing a political purity test." www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

the-reframe.comWinning the MiddleWhat makes for a purity test? What makes for a big tent? Unpacking the apparently pragmatic demand that we Speak Low about fascists to beat fascism.

Sure let's talk about this clown shit and not the hundreds of thousands of people dead and dying because DOGE destroyed USAID.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

Tesla’s new “flying” car drew awed reactions from Wall Street and EV fans alike. It even won over one of Elon Musk’s notable adversaries.

Useless. As always.

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

The most stunning array of corrupt corrupters who ever corrupted.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Throughout his campaign for Florida governor, Rep. Byron Donalds has been unapologetically enthusiastic about data centers. He and his wife own up to $390,000 in stocks connected to a myriad of companies involved with the development of data centers.
