Two young Americans would not have been shot dead in the street if more people had voted for the Democratic candidate for President last time around

Ousted dictators used to flee to Moscow. Now, apparently, they flee to the United States. www.cnn.com/2026/10/27/a...

you write 500,000,000 in ARABIC NUMERALS you slack-jawed brain-dead carbon sink of an undead racist, go try and prove germ theory wrong firsthand by huffing e. coli cultures

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

???? What in the hackery

turns out that voting is a very good way to kick right wing authoritarians out of power

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

Hungary, Serbia, Brazil! Fascists eating shit all over the place! Let's keep the streak going!!! (Looking at you, Israel...)

if you nationalize spacex and deport musk, turn over hegseth to iran, nationalize palantir and deport thiel, the rest of them will start cutting any deal they can

i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect

I don't know what the holdup is bringing CXG to Broadway. Pick the best 4 songs from each season and you have a score better than 90% of the shows that opened in 2026

I don't like to speculate what it must feel like to go through life with your brain pickled in rightwing agitprop like this guy's clearly has been, but I imagine that, sensation-wise, it can't be far off from a cordyceps infection

Apples are just astonishingly better than when I was a kid and what you'd get at the grocery store were either mushy red delicious or lemon-sour granny smiths.

This short update below came from our lively discussion of what went wrong with libertarianism, and some subsequent private conversations. youtube.com/live/K4Dah6Y...

This is what I need denialists to understand: the AI evangelists' wildest fever dreams (sentience, the singularity, whatever-the-fuck) don't need to be real for the tech to be hugely consequential. A machine gun doesn't need to be superintelligent.

Six months ago, Hungary voted for a new chapter. Turning the page on years of eroded freedoms and trust. And the banks of the Danube saw people march and die 70 years ago.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

Yeah, it rules (until the Amber Spyglass, which as others in this thread have noted, reads as a needless self-own of the rest of the series)

why would this be useful

this is beyond cooked—his brain has been microwaved

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

I’ve read Bad Blood and know the facts. Holmes committed a spectacular fraud, beyond a doubt. What shines through, even in the earlier work, is that SHE WASN’T PARTICULARLY GOOD AT IT: absurd founder myths and elite cluelessness did 90% of the work.

Fuck this guy to eternity

Mike is right about this and I was misinformed. I apologize for adding to the cloud of confusion

“I don’t want AI to replace artists and writers” is a humanist sentiment but “I don’t want robots to replace delivery drivers” just comes across as regressive to me.

One would be good and the other would be bad because one cause is good and the other is bad. We are not in the realm of procedural justice concerns anymore, liberalism is not obligated to be neutral on the question of its own existence.

hate the disavow crap so much, thought "but how will you pay for it" would be the worst but no, this is worse so so good of him to break through the absurdity when Republicans answer for their cast of Nazis and pedophiles and fraudsters, genocidal monsters and petty crooks, then we can talk

Next time it needs to be melted down

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

This guy fucking rules

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:
