I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

The FTC and 20 states are suing Dollar General, accusing the giant chain of overcharging customers in their more than 20,000 stores. The suit alleges Dollar General has a pattern of deceptively and illegally overcharging customers. Millions of purchases may have been affected.

There's another way of putting this: "Markets prefer fascists" www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

These arses who are pro-survellience are so beyond delusional. They all need to be placed in some padded room locked away from society.

I’ve had just about enough of “the markets”. They’re basically just a lot of gamblers who take fright and panic whenever a government tries to do something for the people who elect them.

I’m convinced the concentration of wealth has made markets more a reflection of the desires and beliefs of a tiny sliver of the world’s wealthiest rather than actual business information.

it feels like its kinda being ignored but outside a couple outliers the only thing republicans are running on in the midterms is that theyre white and democrats arent

“Markets are dismayed they can’t exploit the Amazon and the Brazilian government more “

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

This isn't really new and was ALWAYS going to be their stance. These corporations believe themselves to be above the same laws they use to bludgeon consumers and smaller competitors with. kotaku.com/now-that-the...

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

“The ubiquity of technology has had more of an impact on our civil rights than any legal changes,” EFF's @jenlynch.bsky.social told @newsweek.com on the PATRIOT Act’s 25th anniversary. “In 2001, people were still using landlines, and social media as we know it today didn’t exist.”

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Anthropic's IPO is an attempt to turn retail investors into bag holders ahead of a bubble pop. No sane stock exchange or regulatory body would allow a company with such massive losses and debt to go public.

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

are you telling me the anonymous right-wing degenerates on polymarket got it wrong?

“i’m so clueless about my own kid i need to get an machine to output generic words to describe her”

Not sure how Sweeney's argument that AI disclosures are a political statement that invites harassment. I thought AI was supposed to be the greatest thing ever. If it's so great then why would you be butthurt about having to say you used it? Shouldn't it be super popular, since it's so great? Weird.

"Is Brazil turning into a Banana Republic," says man who wants to turn Brazil into a Banana Republic.

That they are so upset the dictator bro baby lost is something

That’s their exact complaint for previous US elections too, yes, they see voters turning up as an issue.

Lula must address Meta’s election interference immediately. We cannot allow tech and social media companies to decide elections. X, Google, Meta and other tech companies have to be reined in. There must be consequences and heavy penalties, even banning them completely.

Every other democratic nation needs to do the same. An alliance is needed against Big Tech’s open support for fascism.

What's the name of that Tony Hawk soundtrack song with the female vocalist that I love? I'll check online. AI search assistant I didn't ask for: "it's 'you' by bad religion (male, but is very popular with women)" Anyway it's "Let Me In" by Screaming Females so wow the AI missed the easiest layup

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

So earlier, my brother was watching Octobinz (Romain Toutain)'s livestream on Twitch. He was the Technical Director on Mass Effect Universe, so I wanted to share some bits he discussed. As he speaks french, I added subtitles to make it more accessible for everyone! #MassEffect #MassEffectUniverse

Absolutely incredible. I admit I’d written him off and I’m so glad to be wrong. Congratulations Brazil!

Daylight Saving Time outside of summer makes mornings dark, depressing, and dangerous. Morning is when sunlight is most needed. Restore permanent Standard Time!

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

One issue I have is that Lula is seeking a 4th. term. Yes, when the alternative is a pro-Trump nutjob who wants to turn his country into a colony to be strip mined by foreign oligarchs, the choice seems obvious. But the dude is 80 years old. There's nobody to pass the torch to in Brazil?
