i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.

The funniest part about this is vikings fans thinking they'll win a game in the playoffs, let alone a super bowl.

The 6-0 Vikings are the final undefeated team in the NFL. That's pretty cool. Other relevant Week 7 news: https://bringmethesports.com/around-the-nfl-vikings-are-last-unbeaten-team-mccarthy-wins-first-nyg-start

1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.

RAGBRAI is breaking containment and I'm not sure if the internet is ready for that party on wheels.

MASSIVE peeve of mine: People unmuting themselves in a meeting THEN clearing their throat. NONE OF US WANT TO HEAR THAT! Sip water, clear throat, THEN unmute and talk...

We didn't hang enough confederates or nazis.

In a very real way, all of this horror goes back to our failure to really hold the Confederacy to account for their crimes against humanity.

Been saying it for years - we will not be able to move forward as a country until we grapple with our two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans and the sabotage of Reconstruction

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children & youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually.

Ossoff: "I suspect many of you are here today b/c you're so deeply troubled by the pain that many of our fellow human beings are enduring right now. The terror of a child watching ICE take away his mother. The despair of a cancer patient losing coverage mid-treatment... we're all in this together"

Apparently the hot new rationalization in pissy right-wing creator circles as to why they're not as financially or culturally successful as they ought to be is that their IQs are all 30 points too high for the normies to understand their creations, and, oh, honey, I assure you, that's so not it

Lots of good news today for Dems. Don’t get complacent. Check your registration. Go vote - early if you can. Let’s win this fucking thing.

We live in the stupidest fucking timeline...

🤔 What the hell is wrong with Trump? 🤔 Trump gave a bonkers speech in Georgia that included Islamophobic bigotry, oddly sexual comments about men, crazed lies about teachers secretly trans-ing kids, and a variety of other insane rants Here's the lowlight reel:

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Today's the day many more Minnesota cities open early voting locations. Also starting today you don't have to fill out an on-site early absentee application - you just vote as you would on Election Day. (Minneapolis's two early locales, the Govt Center & 980 E Hennepin, opened 9/18 and remain open.)

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social

Minnesota, this election is too important to sit back or sit out. With expanded hours, more locations, and opportunities to vote on the weekends, it's never been easier to cast your ballot early. Make your plan at iwillvote.com

Some days you appreciate life more than others. A friend has a traumatic brain bleed. Surgery works, recovery works, an adjustment to a 3D printed fucking skull piece... Fully himself a week after. Laughing with us. Talking cars and horsepower.

Fucking give ALL THE MONEY to the best and brightest of us. They will figure out shit we thought wasn't possible. For the sake of every fucking fuck: INVEST IN SCIENCE.
