A bad update: we're getting reports of pro-No Kings creators who have been suspended today as well. And we still lack backend access to the official No Kings account. Stay tuned, will report news when I have it.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

omg this is a good ad

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

Yo, CVS pharmacy needs a union. Those people are overworked.

“Wikimedia’s volunteers are the ones who come in first contact with, and clean up the mess left behind by AI agents. ... Wikimedia’s volunteers have stayed resilient so far in tackling emerging challenges on our platforms, but we also want to say: it doesn’t need to be this way.”

Generic Ballot Polling: 🔵Democrats: 53% 🔴Republicans: 38% YouGov / Sept 28, 2026

very nice excerpt

Look at how nobody is leaving

I dislike the gendering of cat ownership not only because it means fewer cats get adopted, but also because it makes it harder to find cat-themed menswear. Below are some I've come across over the years. Brands and descriptions are in the alt text. Also a mug at the end that I like.

175 km solo win! 🤯

Incredibly awful incident occurred during a CCSU v. Fairfield volleyball game yesterday and the only public coverage or reaction that I've seen so far is from the victim herself on IG... www.instagram.com/p/DdaW8STjMg...

part of this is obviously national political conditions but don't underrate the extent to which a bunch of these incumbent republicans have never had to run a competitive general election campaign and basically do not know how to do it

"Using OpenAl's published API pricing, it would cost roughly $6,800 to generate one million news-style articles averaging 500 words each - and would require no human author, editor, or reporter to do so."

New Ed Sheeran opening act will be two hours of Robert Kraft playing the bongos

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I was an occasional goal judge for my colleges D3 hockey team. I got paid minimum wage to watch hockey and flick a light switch and got announced with the referees before the game and immortalized in the box score. It was awesome

So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

Lol the United States was the only country of 165 which voted "no" to adopting an accurate map instead of the distorted Mercator projection. I'm guessing it was 30% inspired by an imperialist desire to keep Greenland looking big and 70% a racist desire to keep Africa small.

…Rutgers had post game fireworks. They didn’t cancel it.

how i be getting around in my car now that Apple Maps and Google Maps are dead to me

RESULT: Wow, the AP has already called the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts—just 20 minutes after polls closed. Senator Ed Markey has defeated Seth Moulton.

Really like how this team fought back after conceding early. High press and good ball control led to two very good goals. Hope to see them keep it up in the second half, and put this one away. #NERevs

Quite good

Georgia Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins has fired multiple staffers for their KKK and neo-Nazi affiliations. Democrat Jon Ossoff hasn’t. Who’s the real antisemite? by Hugh Hewitt

we are PROTECTING WOMEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS by having MEN show up to WOMEN'S SPORTS to YELL at the WOMEN PLAYING SPORTS

Do they look alike? No. Did I make this meme because I want to reference mummified Antonio Delamea as much as possible? Yes #NERevs

MLS is reportedly planning a major playoff shakeup for 2027. 20 teams, one combined table, and a "double chance" round for the top 8 seeds modeled on Australian Rules Football's system. I mocked up how the new MLS playoff system could work 👇 (Reporting via @mlsist.bsky.social)

DSA member Angie Nixon was outspent 36:1 and did not receive an AOC or Bernie endorsement, and yet she won the Florida Senate primary by more than 12 points

A Professor can be hounded to death by the media for alleged plagiarism but tech companies can plagiarise on a worldwide scale and they’re left alone, celebrated for their “genius”…

Lowkey excellent thing about Wikipedia: accurately describing the extremism and lies of right-wingers because its sole concern is provable truth, while the media tiptoes around accurately describing whats happening to avoid appearing “biased” against the extremists and liars

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

this entire issue is downstream of the fact that kids are trapped in car-dependent suburbs, unable to develop any sense of autonomy until age 16, when they're suddenly allowed to drive a 4,000 lb vehicle

RESULT: U.S. Representative John Larson, who has been in the House from Connecticut since 1998, loses his Democratic primary. Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin will be favored in November.

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

#NERevs did not register a single shot from the left side of the field. Actually had the ball on that side in the attacking 3rd about as much as the right. Did not generate a single shot.

Not to beat up on Douthat even more, but I'll just say: it has never, in all of post-war American history, been more crystal clear exactly who your enemy should be. Never. If it's not obvious to you, you are morally & intellectually defective.

before the bans, the requirements for trans women to participate in women's sports leagues was typically about 2 years being on estrogen and anti-androgens. if this transphobic dipshit is committed to the bit, let her do it, she'll become dysphoric after a few months & face transphobia within a year
