Note that propranolol is a beta blocker. Drops your blood pressure, slows your heart. If you're on other blood pressure meds it can fuck you up very badly indeed. It's prescription-only for a reason. It is NOT an anxiolytic, people really need better monitored access to BZPs (the 1990s moral panic).

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

the thing about wave elections is that they hit unevenly and can produce crazy outcomes

i am once again asking for a high quality poll of south carolina

interesting

Ohio candidate for governor Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is attempting to reframe his controversial ad featuring Democratic opponent Dr. Amy Acton’s estranged mother as protestors have started gathering at his events. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/25/r...

This was my closing statement. The GOP have held our general assembly for 15 years. People are pissed.

I attended a forum two weeks ago against my Republican opponent for NC Senate District 25. One person in attendance said it had been forty years since they had witnessed the two candidates actually appear together for a debate/forum. The energy is here this cycle and it's going to be wild.

I was in NC this weekend, and it's clear the NC GOP is nervous. 90% of the ads on TV were strident attack ads focused on state house races.

*BOLSONARO: FEDERAL POLICE REQUESTED I GIVE THEM MY PASSPORT

Lurie’s team has been spending millions to convince the voters to give the mayor more power. To soften the image, the billionaire-backed campaign has been saying that key oversight commissions will remain “independent.” That’s demonstrably false.

it's amazing to get a job where you can just write the same thing for fifteen years and make probably like $200k a year doing it

i for one say we throw every royal ahead of charlotte in the line of succession into a big blender and then let our new gen alpha empress just figurehead earth from albion like titania while we all watch kpop demon hunters and let all the smartest women and assorted femmes run everything

yknow i would not have expected, given the trajectory we were on at the time, for them "Barb-" part rather than the "-enhimer" one to be the thing we evolved into, but a world where the mascs just get to bop around with toys and horses and pretty cars and don't have to think anymore sounds dope

look i support women having the sole right to hold elected office as long as men gain an equivalent unique civil right (the freedom to call each other "big guy" and "my man")

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

One of the oddest parts of Reflect Orbtial’s schtick is its claim of “substantive discussions” with scientists and astronomers. Basically zero evidence of this or it having an impact thus far.

generic catholic bishop character: i just can't believe the trump administration would just use us, politically, through trickery and without our consent

look i dunno maybe just don't go to the white house and pray over the president, seems like a simple way to avoid this in the future

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

I was just stopped in the street by a lady who said she was a witch, and offered to show me her pussy, which I thought was a little familiar.

perfect, no notes

But see if I didn’t watch the British baking show I wouldn’t learn new terms like “self-saucing pud”

"In order to change someone’s mind, you have to change their life. You have to change their network of friends and connections. You need to change the experiences they’ve had in the world," says @sarahsteinlubrano.bsky.social.

There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

No. This is dooming for nothing. Lula *did* end up cruising to re-election, it was called an hour after polls closed. The fact that he managed to pull that off when everything was pointing to a Bolsanaro win is not terrifying, it's inspiring. Stop looking at things through the worst possible lens.

Measure Z, a parcel tax to fund a regional public bank, is on the November’ ballot. Proponents say it will invest in worthy local causes.

We were somewhere around the Mission district on the edge of the bay when the canapés began to take hold

hunter s. thompson showed up at all of these places and would say "the parties are fancy and it is a mask for monsters" and these people can't stop praising the fine cheeses on offer

you know how there are literature and journalism prizes? i propose that we introduce a system of literature and journalism demerits. if you do bad gonzo journalism that turns you into a mouthpiece for big tech it should earn your book a demerit that appears on the cover like prize stickers do

hunter s thompson sure did ruin a lot of male writers huh

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

If the golem becomes ensorcelled, the coven may need to assume operational burdens related to ensorcellation and the golem’s fel status. This may cost extra mana points.

Some are considering programs run by France, Canada and other countries that aim to recruit weary U.S. researchers.

Burger King exec 1: we keep digging Burger King deeper and deeper into the grave! What are we doing wrong? Burger King exec 2: did you release those NEW Chicken Nuggets that look 3d printed? Burger King exec 1: we did!!! Nothing's working!!!!

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."
