California: Prop 40: Yes, use billionaire money to fix healthcare gap Prop 41: No, this is scare mongering bullshit Prop 42: No, this is scare mongering bullshit too

Yeah, and every child will also get a winged horse that can talk. I will double whatever Elon ends up actually giving. 2 x 0 equals…

In case you're new to my profile, I am a former Republican technology and media consultant who was born and raised as a fundamentalist Mormon. I left the latter at 27 and became nonreligious, and then left Republicanism at 37. The longer story is in this NPR profile:

I found it amusing that Anthropic tracks “hours worked by AI agents” as a metric. This is even sillier than lines of code as a productivity metric. Why not also count hours worked by cron jobs, database migration scripts and compilers while you’re at it? 🙄

People need to understand that the only reason Trump backed down on SpaceX and Starshield so quickly is that he got push back right away, politically and from Ukraine. He is a bully and a coward. Stop criticising Zelensky for standing up to him.

Doing the YouTube thing does not pay well. In fact, I put more in than I get out, but I thoroughly enjoy it and there are perks to not being beholden to any sort of producer or manager.

love how mapquest is leaning into a new sense of purpose in the 2020s

A LOT of big liberal influencers except for Heather Cox Richardson just ran with this despite it being disproven: Jay Kuo, @amysiskind.com, @meidastouch.com. And now it's not only been debunked by Mother Jones, Mashable, and Graphika, it's doing *real* harm to the cause Time for retractions, folks

If MAGA is ok with live streaming public executions, well, here you go.

One more thought on the whole "people going back to X" thing. I'm obviously quite biased, but I really think that atproto (which powers Bluesky and others) is about building a better internet in so many ways. But that requires people to use it. The answer to that is to build something better...

Trump has cut off intelligence to Ukraine so that Putin can more easily bomb civilians including children.

HA! I forgot about that one. Here's a concise review from IMDb: "A truly terrible film. The only reason to watch it all the way through is to see if it gets any worse. Trust me, it does."

If you sent me this clip and told me it was actually an SNL cold open, I would have believed you.

We are going to miss you very much, Helen. https://www.statnews.com/2026/10/13/helen-branswell-stat-reporter-obituary/

Remembering that time when some big name accounts were arguing that X is all good now and the algorithm has been de-Elon'd. Wait, that was yesterday. The same time this was happening.

A friend was mentioning ai slop small business ads and was like "and they're on sandwich boards, like this one" as just an example of a sandwich board And ofc it's slop 😭😭

$90!?!? Why so generous?!? If I were on Medicare, I might feel better about getting mailed a pack of cigarettes and a couple of Red Bulls than a $90 slap in the face… and I don’t even smoke or consume energy drinks.

Abolish ICE.

I really hope there actually is still radium in that jug. It’ll be the funniest thing ever.

Did both Covid and Flu vax together yesterday. Only had a few rough hours. It’s about 26 hours after and I’m pretty much 90% back to normal. Still mildly feverish and stiff, but not any worse than the day after a hard workout. If you you’re US and uninsured look on GoodRx for discount codes for 💉.

Good: Blue26.org donations are ramping up as we head into the home stretch! Good/Bad depending on your POV: Donations to U.S. Senate races have begun to SWAMP every other downballot race! I'm glad folks are chipping in to flip the Senate, but STATE EXEC & STATE LEGISLATIVE Dems need help as well!

The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

I must share with you this epic community note on Twitter 😂

Holy crap. Also, you can donate to Terrence Davis here: secure.actblue.com/donate/agsos...

One thing I’ve noticed about the Tilly Norwood media blitz: There’s a lot of talk about an upcoming movie, but very little evidence that that movie actually … exists.

@gtconway.bsky.social went to the Hands Around The Kennedy Center protest tonight and talked to some demonstrators. Thanks to everyone in The Bulwark community who showed out!

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

I obviously cannot tell Mark Carney or Canada what to do. But I can say that, based on my experience, the only way to stop bullies is to hit them back.

The Troll-Masters return Wednesday 9/16 🙏 🤣

I don’t know that this much energy should be spent on responding to trolls and likely bots. Maybe block and see how quickly it dries up? I only had to block one person drooling out the CIA bot talk. alisav.substack.com/p/but-she-wa...

Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest vocalists and performers of our times, was born on this day 80 years ago. He died aged 45. AIDS not only took our friends and lovers, it robbed us of a generation of artists and the beautiful, extraordinary work they may otherwise have given us.

My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”

This is how Canadians measure the passage of time: “The Leafs would win the Cup. That’s a long time ago.”

In reality, this frontline runs across entire planet, from Taiwan to Cuba. The outcome of the clash in Ukraine will influence the general direction of global developments. And there’s no other path for Russia’s future than Ukraine’s victory and defeat of Putin’s regime.
