Gambling odds aren't polls! They're guesses based on investment! People who use the apps have aright wing bias and also are trying to win money! This isn't a graph of voting intention or models it's who people bet on which means nothing! People treating this shit as predictive is bad!

Brazil elected Lula again tonight. Poll averages appear to have had Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro effectively tied, maybe Bolsonaro up 1 on Lula — so not sure why the markets had this race at 80-20 Bolsonaro. Markets might miss big in the U.S. midterms in 9 days too.

They are also setting odds to encourage people to buy it back toward even! The house is manipulating the numbers! Why would anyone trust any of this!

Honestly the best result for the future of everyone is probably this dude winning and Turek losing so that we can just say "look what works"

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

lifelong dipshit moron with the idiot politics of a child grows up and starts to realize he was fucking stupid at 12 years old (but hasn't grown out of being a racist sack of mayonnaise with wet toilet paper for a brain) is NOT NEWS what the fuck is this?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.

It's important to sorta keep in mind that republicans are child rapists - even the ones who don't do horrible shit think its fine if their friends do. They think it's their right and its cool. They are all child rapists and people should remember that.

disgusting that this exists and frankly insulting they aren't calling it a gleevival.

Pop Base@popbase.tv

🚨 A ‘GLEE’ revival has been officially ordered at Disney+ and Hulu. No cast members are currently announced to return.

SO the argument here is ... we threatened to secede but didn't have the votes for it because people didn't want to so now the people who lost the vote should have more of an influence in politics than the winners because they did the opposite of what they wanted which was good actually?

Today I spiritually and psychically center myself because I'm seeing You Can See Everything Tomorrow and The Devils on Thursday. I assume I'm gonna be Changed By This.

Even if she's being sincere here (she's not. She's lying), that's still disqualifying. You shouldn't elect senators who would be dumb enough to believe that ding dong! Her excuse is I got hoodwinked by a moron so vote for me?!?! Shut up!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Susan Collins on Kavanaugh: "I'm very disappointed in his his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was no way for me to anticipate that."

The political calculus of "we can't support trans people because it would alienate moderate voters who may or may not exist but they should vote for us anyway" is so crazy! Try making the moderates compromise! They don't have to die for it!

Bugs 🔜 MC Atlanta@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social

look if shit is so dire for the democrats that they NEED every vote from trans people, maybe they shouldn't run candidates who are transphobic or fold on even the slightest pushback to trans rights it's not our fault y'all's guys suck

And people get mad at trans folks for this in a way they never get mad at moderates on their insane bullshit! It's transparent and evil and it SUCKS!

To me, Digger is good because it reads like it is saying "Art is good. It's what makes us worth saving, but it won't save us and thinking it will is dumb." It is critical of spending on the arts while the world burns, and of the self satisfaction of watching the right things. But still likes art

Something really magical about a Jewish man enabling the rise of Nazis 2.0 just because he is so desperate to be a screenwriter, yet so untalented, that the only way he can make a movie is to latch onto a movement with so little cultural capital that they'll spend infinite money to seem relevant.

Forbes@forbes.com

The Daily Wire’s new movie, written by Ben Shapiro, features a cast including Rob Lowe, James Franco and Jennifer Jason Leigh, as the conservative media company ramps up its filmmaking efforts.

Like this idea is such loser shit that they could only do it once they stopped having funding from anyone with an ounce of strategic perspective.

The ravens are one (terrible terrible abysmal awful dogshit) coaching choice from being 5-0 and yet I feel as though the season rests upon a knifes edge. We are so back.

People Are So Fucking Stupid!

Political Poll Bot@pollresults.org

California Ballot Issue (Prop 42: Prohibit New Taxes on Personal Property) Sep 23 - 28, 2026 Yes 48% (+20.0%) Don't know 28% No 24% IVC Media 2906 LV Sponsor: Independent Voter Project View Poll

This is such an INSANE example of the way that labor and creation are lost in thinking objects. People ask AI because computer is unbiased calculator ... but it's not! It's made by guys with political interests and analytical biases! You're just asking rich people who to vote for you absolute rubes!

There are all these hopeful, and very funny at republicans' expense, polls coming out, but I can't help imagining that democrats hate this shit and are holed up trying to figure out how to shirk the mandate that would come with a wave election.

I wonder if there is a lesson that everyone likes conservative ideas in theory but hates them in practice and at the level of outcome and resist leftist ideas in theory but love them when implemented... huh impossible to parse this I guess.

It is CRAZY that almost unprecedented power and possibility is quite possibly going to land in the hands of people who are terrified at the idea of wielding it and well do all they can to avoid the responsibility that comes with it.

Between this episode, most online mind, and the Chinese movie stuff ... I feel like I'm the one programming this material. It feels so good to be seen

Quorators@quorators.bsky.social

NEW QUORATORS! this episode is all about GANG STALKING. should targeted individuals have a dating site? should they live in their own TI communities? are they being injected with mercury? who is the cow in the purple sweatshirt? ALL THIS AND MORE: youtu.be/i70FrKMHUsI

Not to be flippant about this, but it's like A. a moral duty to do it and B. it feels like a super power when someone says something that sucks and you tell them it sucks and they start freaking out. It's like you cast a spell of Harm Racist on them and it feels good as hell.

Andrew Schreck @andrewschreck.bsky.social

Sometimes my brain starts to melt when I remember that we the people elected a president who doesn't know how the government works and just says stuff that is wildly unconstitutional and no one says "sir it doesn't work like that" and instead they respond "well, looks like those are the rules now."

Your Opponent is a drooling maniac backed by a publicly pro sexual abuse infrastructure who is shouting about the need to inspect children's genitals. It seems the strategy would be to say "this is gross and weird" not "maybe they have a point"

Every season I think the Ravens will learn about how they should go for it on 4th and 1 and every season we lose a game we should win because of how we punt and it fucks the vibes for the whole season

One cool thing about Texas is that sometimes you stop to get gas and then find a really good burger spot inside the gas station. Shouts out to Shark's Burgers and the very effusive man who works there.

not a novel thought but ... if this is the case then maybe disavowing the pillars of republican decision making (pro corporate, anti public service, tech/military subservient, gender normative, etc) seems like an obvious strategy rather than going "republican light"

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Fox poll: Registered voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on inflation (by 15 points), large AI data centers (+14), corruption (+11), and foreign policy (+10).

ONCE AGAIN - if you're someone who is like "we have to sacrifice trans rights to stop the fascists" you are STUPID. If you want to stop fascism you have to make a case for its opposite as a social good - that means defending universal human rights which includes Trans People you gravy brained toads!

"Why?" is a question you might ask if you have Alfredo sauce for gray matter, so I'll explain. If you provide a rights framework that accepts SOME compromise then you are creating the space for MORE compromise a space Fascists ALWAYS exploit! You need principles tied to politics to say FUCK OFF with
