if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

If he pulls this out then he’s the GOAT politician

I've long advocated for reforming #CEQA to speed up environmentally-beneficial projects, from bicycle, pedestrian and transit improvements, to apartments near transit. But I'm opposing Prop 45. Many other CEQA reformers are too. Here's why (🎁link):

sfchronicle.comProp 45 would make major changes to CEQA. But many CEQA reformers don’t support itKey CEQA reformers are concerned about Prop 45’s unintended consequences, in particular that it could lead to more suburban sprawl in California.

I think we need to consider the possibility he’s made a huge Polymarket bet on Acton winning the election and is actively trying to throw it

Vivek Ramaswamy has not only confirmed the commercial with Amy Acton's estranged mother was made by his campaign, Axios also reports he's now spending $4 million to air it.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

I strongly recommend The Last Temptation of Beck by @josie.zone — it’s up there with Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr among rock biographies and even transcends the genre by grappling with really difficult philosophical questions. A+!

Sorry for the Guardians. Good run. If you want a better chance next year may I suggest your $5.5 billion owner double the payroll and still have the team be well below the median franchise

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Q: There's a Minnesotan, Pete Hegseth, who is the secretary of defense. How do you assess his performance? TAFOYA: Uh, the grade is incomplete Q: Peggy Flanagan? FLANAGAN: F. And frankly, he should be impeached. Incomplete? The people of Minnesota have seen enough.

Katie Lied Trump's latest show biz kid wore a deacon blue blazer fit for a yacht rocker, but when she smiled for the camera, out came the pretzel logic. Tomorrow, she'll go back and do it again—the major dude in the White House needs someone to do his dirty work. by Maureen Dowd

It would have been immoral and illegal to murder people at sea anyway, but here’s confirmation it also just doesn’t work: “Record supplies of cocaine still arrive in the U.S.… every day, cheaper and purer than they’ve been in decades, said law-enforcement officials.”

Because of recent-ish state law, if you are a CA resident, you get access to every public library in the state. You just need to go to the library and demonstrate residency. Libby allows you to add a bunch of library cards meaning you get access to potentially hundreds of ebook collections for free.

Correct, nobody does this because that would obviously be fucking stupid

Ossoff is simply too good

Q: Will you pledge to serve your full six year term if you win? OSSOFF: Yes, I will. I have zero interest in running for president. I'm running for Senate.*immediately resumes savaging Mike Collins*

"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

After four strong innings from Foster Griffin, a game-tying solo shot from Patrick Bailey and a two-run single from Nathaniel Lowe, Jo Adell comes through with a two-run double to ensure every player the Guardians traded for this year came through in Game 1
