holy crap y'all, here's the killer combo: 1. a directory of all starter packs - blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... 2. a tool to turn packs into lists - nws-bot.us/bskyStarterP... 3. a layout where lists can be columns deck.blue (bsky.app/profile/spen...) 🤯

Elements of Trump's grand bargain with Putin now emerging: (1) lift sanctions against Russia; (2) give Russia control of the Polar LNG project on Alaska's North Slope; (3) give Trump cronies control of LUKoil's foreign assets and remove sanctions; (4) drawn down of US support for NATO. In other

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

FWIW, Anthropic admits its current margins may not be representative. There's a bit of lucky timing here: big revenue growth while on the tail end of cheap compute contracted more than a year ago. Their future compute is... not so cheap. (1st pic their S-1, second are my graphics based on S-1.)

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

If Elon doesn't interfere it will stream on HBO in January. Until then, in theaters or Pay Per view on Apple or Amazon.

man aren't we glad that Elon and Trump gutted CISA today, as the internet is melting from multiple critical security issues. Speaking of CISA, did you see where Trump ordered CISA to steal a voting machine, hack it, and not report findings back to the company?

how does Docker not have a new, official PHP image ready? hub.docker.com/_/php Nuts this wasn't ready to flip on at :00 (or even earlier given the PoC exploit and even the official PHP fixes were out well before). Now we are :20 minutes past due. Everyone had a multi-day heads up, this is negligence

it's official. If you have PHP in production, either take it offline or have an airtight opsec response: news-web.php.net/php.announce...

The DOJ has never been perfect. There has always been plenty to criticize. But the DOJ today, after not even two years of Trump, is a rotten shell of what it once was; untrusted by sizeable portions of the federal judiciary, hollowed out at the core, and run without principle.

Gruber saying X is a "cheerful place" was always going to age like lettuce, but it hit the same day Elon tipped the scales to boost Sortor's conspiracy theory to disrupt the midterms. X also pays Sortor. Elon is the same guy who spread misinfo explaining Pelosi attack as a gay lover feud. "cheerful"

Musk is trying to help the regime steal the midterms by spreading lies and misinformation. Democrats and progressive organizations need to treat X like a fascist propaganda network—because it is. X will be part of their campaign to deny the results and refuse to seat duly elected representatives.

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

She was maliciously shot by CBP agents who proceeded to lie about every single element of the incident and criminally charged her. The charges were dismissed after film and photos showed she was right and they were lying. Now she demands criminal charges against the CBP agents.

short memories abound. remember Muse is from the same company that brought you this AI fiasco <shot ~ chaser>

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

turning out to be a big day for @edzitron.com 🤣

Good thing all this unauthorized computer access is somehow not illegal and magically nobody is criminally liable for it or it would be really expensive and professionally damaging! https://www.axios.com/2026/09/26/openai-anthropic-thousands-ai-security-incidents

markets are irrational like water is wet, but here's my basic observation about yesterday's AI rally fueled by excitement about Muse. If Muse succeeds, it comes pretty directly at the expense of ChatGPT, which puts OpenAI in an even more dire situation. If OpenAI fails, the bubble pops. So...why up?

um - holy crap, what I'm building for sure has legs (I'm at a point in private beta where I can safely say... ^) 🤯

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

So the US is “working on a deal” to buy Potash from a dictator allied with Putin instead of Canada.

The video shows the agents literally just leaving the guy in the street and driving off.

Federal employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work in 2025 under DOGE. As part of the Trump-Musk DOGE program to shrink the federal work force, paid administrative leave costs rose by 435%.

NEW: ICE is arresting and detaining a record number of pregnant women and teens. At the same time, it has lost count of how many had miscarriages, according to a Guardian review of internal ICE documents. w/ @amyqin.bsky.social, @wcraft.bsky.social and Flávio Pessoa

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The U.S. never held the Saudi royals who funded Al Qaeda accountable because the oligarchs who run our empire benefited from the relationship—no matter the costs to normal Americans. 9/11 was an unspeakable tragedy for every normal American—and a business opportunity for the war machine.

The Alexander bros, who were convicted in March of running a decades-long sex-trafficking scheme, paid at least $250k to Alan (But-I-Was-Wearing-My-Underwear) Dershowitz to secure a pardon for them from Trump. Dershowitz, whose leading clients include Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and

thanks i hate it

For what it's worth: drove across Florida today (east/west through Gainesville) and saw $4+/gallon gas and far fewer trump flags than this time last year
