The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.

Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

There are zero commercial breaks without a gambling ad. Then you tell everyone that liberals are racists. MLB outdid themselves with the World Series commercials. Top notch viewing experience

Clay Travis claims Cheesecake Factory was a childhood luxury. Except it didn't open in Nashville until he was 26. @timmiller.bsky.social & @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social investigate the case of his restaurant nostalgia: “We are now swift boating Clay Travis for Cheesecake Factory stolen valor.”

Reminder why the most secure election strategy is lack of centralized control. Much harder to hack 120,000 systems in 120,000 locations than one great big poorly defended database staffed by the biggest group of mouth breathing trolls you've ever seen

Reuters: A hacker is attempting to breach the US Federal Election Commission's systems and that agency has had to 'temporarily shut down' its web-facing services as a result, according to an email seen by Reuters.

I've been anxiously awaiting the next lineup announcement since we got back from this year's festival, and y'all... I haven't been this disappointed in a reveal since the St Louis Cardinals City Connects 2026 vs 2027 🤢

We’ve officially entered post-wokeism. Not utilizing tech billionaires’ earth-killing plagiarism machine is privileged, elitist, and dare I say, maybe even ableist(?) Please adjust your behavior accordingly.

73% chance we see an ad by the end of the week with someone getting the witness protection treatment with a scary voice-over saying "You know who else played basketball?? OBAMA"

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

As someone who has shelled out over $500 for 2 car batteries in the last month, I agree.

New car prices average $50,000, gas is at an all time high, and many Americans are forced into car dependency. In-office requirements are a tax on the working class.

Why does he look like he's in front of a green screen? Also, I'm never going to forgive the Harris campaign for their decision to stop hammering how weird these people are

JD Vance: "We're self-confident men in the Trump/Vance administration. The president has been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately"

What’s remarkable here isn’t just the sentiment, which is obviously weird and depressing, but that a media trained executive who has been doing interviews for decades thought this was an anecdote that would land well.

Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

it sounds contradictory but it's really not. They say "Protect" bc they see women's sports as a cute charity for little girls rather than legit competitions people care about and strive for. They're always baffled when they show up at women's sports and find people who actually care about the games

There's a guy at church who's probably in his mid-50s and he's got arms that look just like Scott Steiner's back in his heyday. I know he's on the kind of the shit that'll get your grandchildren banned from the Olympics but damn they look impressive at his age.

Had to go get my kid when the 2nd quarter started, so now I'm watching the 2nd quarter while we're at halftime and did they finally hit a reset button on Reed or something? WTF is this, he's hitting guys in stride
