Inside each of us is a little boy, a shy, lovesick girl with a curse, a demon made of fire, and a shape-shifting wizard with no heart. #OldTweets

A disgrace to his Irish name

wsj is wsj'ing at unprecedented levels

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

If my government has a rooting interest in another country’s elections, or if another country’s government has a rooting interest in mine, then I need to pay attention to what happens in these countries’ politics. Plus our neighbors, economic partners, key allies and rivals… it’s a big world, kids

"He was so good at soccer at three years old that league officials confronted his parents and called the cops" sounds like a fish story folktale that people would tell about Bo Jackson

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Oh no 😭 One of the last members of the USS Enterprise has left. RIP Walter Marvin Koenig (1936-2026) Star Trek, Babylon 5, Moontrap, The Starlost, The Questor Tapes, Futurama... What a career in sci-fi. I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again 😞

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I forgot to say good morning to the undefeated Detroit Pistons. You beat my Sixers, but I still love my hometown team

I cannot believe that Eric Bauza has passed away, at age 46. We’d just talked about his life and his voices and his son. A shattering loss

In Brazil, it appears that voters who opted for eliminated first-round candidates roughly broke even in the runoff (even if the candidates leaned right). But the big difference was: Millions of voters who cast 'null' or 'blank' ballots in the first round then voted for Lula.

What if frontier AI labs turn into the Florida coastline of tech companies: expensive and popular, but so risky they become fundamentally uninsurable? www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Not a joke. This literal toddler is too good at a *competitive game* (he's amazing) so the fragile AF league (?) thought something at the intersection of criminalization + calling the people known to endanger Black lives was the appropriate response to this must be white + cis to play sports now

The voice of Bugs and Daffy in Coyote v Acme, Luke Skywalker, Jimmy Pesto (replacing that insurrectionist chud I used to like), Stimpy, Bane, Commissioner Gordon, and hundreds of other voices died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This is a shame. This was a good publication with a great idea. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

It's the wind blowing free it's the end of the slope It's a beam, it's a void it's a hunch, it's a hope youtu.be/E1tOV7y94DY?...

You have to have a poster’s heart

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

His lead is steadily getting bigger

Who’s gonna say “I’ve seen enough”
