The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

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.

Hear, hear! If you believe your candidates are using a "pragmatic platform" to win an election, then why are you concerned about people turned off by it? If you think the vote is so divided that neither position can guarantee victory, *why are you tolerating them taking the immoral position*?

In general, anyone who refers to trans women as “males” or “men” or “boys” is going to be terrible on trans rights. That’s not just playing to the rubes. Those are slurs.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

I am having one of those moments where my understanding of language doesn't align with someone trying to be mean to me. I don't know what writing a "self-congratulatory" book would even LOOK like. Self-indulgent, I can get, but what does self-congratulatory even mean? Any ideas?

On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words. When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily." Subscribe to support our journalism.

This one's a tough one. On the one hand, I don't want lots of people dying from a preventable virus, but on the other, what are we even doing still skinning minks? Wait, what's hard about this?? Oh capitalism and your hijinx.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: First Up: Admiral Cayetano Cruz )

The Russians hacked Jared's phone. Then Dutch cyberspies then reverse-engineered that hack, giving them unprecedented access to his world. Bananas story in @vanityfair.com

Beware! This is happening in several "Red" states, including Texas and Florida. Some people are claiming that the machines are just "miscalibrated." Maybe so, but certainly NOT by accident. If it were an accident, some would do the opposite. This is a DELIBERATE GOP attempt to steal votes.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying. No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.

We can't tax billionaires out of existence because what if I become a billionaire someday?! Have you ever thought about that?!

I think takes that "BioWare had it coming" are disingenuous. Andromeda? Corporate forced them to use the Frostbite engine. Anthem? Corporate wanted a live service. Veilguard? Corporate wanted a live service, then rebooted it. The creativity that drove BioWare got re-routed by mismanagement.

Why is it that if I force her into an unsafe situation, it's elder abuse, but when they do it, it's just business? Fuck the insurance industry.

Mom is being evicted from skilled nursing. She still can't get in and out of a car or go up and down stairs. Her living space is down a flight of stairs. There are no accessible bathrooms in this house (the contractor is coming Friday to rebuild hers). I...everything about this is bad.

Next Fest is really demonstrating the curse of the idea guy. Anyone can have an idea or steal one, but to make it good means living with it, working it, exploring it and finding what makes it work and is special. Or you can just have Claude shit out slop no one wants to play. Valve always needs

In a world of J.K. Rowlings, be a Terry Pratchett.

There is a reason that I got a full Back Tattoo if of the Disc and A'tuin the Turtle long before I started transitioning. Go read Terry Pratchett's Discworld. No one is dead while their name is still spoken.

It's so stupid that this is labeled a "movement," as if there are shared goals and an activist network instead of "a hell of a lot of people don't have the time and energy for toxic relatives anymore."

There are two reasons I never had trouble accepting Trans people. One is that I got a good biology education even before going to Uni to study it. The other is that I did read Terry Pratchett's fantastic books. If you can do both, but at bare minimum read the books!

We failed as a nation with Nixon, Reagan and W.

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

Periodic reminder that guillotines are the moderate solution Cops are great

And those consoles are going to be far, far weaker than a used gaming PC from even five years ago, depending on the video card. Something like an RTX 4060 or an RX 7700 will stomp them into the ground, because there haven't been any huge jumps in performance for the AMD APUs these will use.

eMudhra, you literally had ONE JOB--

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

Good morning! Wow this got more than i expected. Maxxed notifs 😅 I emailed my local radio station to ask if they would be willing to mention the games here throughout the week. Great job y'all! @gailsimone.bsky.social would you mind sharing the below post to help some indie devs get visibility?

Oh, you know the ones

Hey can we not use IQ like it's a legitimate measure of intelligence/superiority in the year 2026

Re-interpreting history and ignoring the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. - Ukraine relinquished the world's 3rd largest nuclear arsenal, joining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. - Signatories committed to respecting Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and existing national borders.

This is the most viewed video today in Brazil on Social Media and TV. It's ex-Bolsonaro supporter telling everyone how Bolsonaro plans to sell Brazil to the US. (With English Subtitles)

reminder, if billionaires paid more taxes, infrastructure would be in better shape. that is apocalypse-porn, so invest in community for a safer future for all

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

It strikes me that Republicans are often put in their place when they think they're being clever. The Polish Deputy Prime Minister completely humiliates Anna Paulina Luna here, though to be honest, that isn't difficult to do with her….

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

I’m a big fan of the onion, but this piece has always been a little weird to me because most Indigenous People don’t support Columbus Day and actually fought pretty hard against it. and we can ask for one day in addition to landback.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
