Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

What is true is that this was a conflict—and make no mistake, this was a conflict; this was a protracted battle in a hybrid war, more than anything—that was largely fought by large numbers of people laboriously working to unfuck the nation's informational environment.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

Brazil and Serbia beat back fascism this weekend. The U.S. will do it in 9 days.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

In all seriousness though, how many genetically engineered dogs do you have to sell to make that $1.2B valuation pencil out Something smells off, and not just in the Jurassic Park way like in a Theranos/WeWork way

This is 👀 “Kushner’s counsel, however, said Kushner did not make any agreements or arrangements with leaders or officials in foreign countries that were not agreed to by the President of the United States and in the best interests of the United States.”

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Might be good for filming ICE thugs at the next confrontation if ya got 800 bucks to spare.

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

"Capitalism started far earlier than people think. It started with the externalization and the outsourcing of remembrance." #quote @simsa0.bsky.social

"“Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: It’s four o clock. At five I have my abyss…” Colette Thus, the world ends every day.

Yow. So he won't be at the meeting with Trump, Putin, and Xi.

Can you say Kessler Syndrome?

Over on Mastodon I stumbled across a passing reference to sonic inflation porn and I had to DDG it and, just, you should learn from my horrible object lesson and Not Do That. Trust Me.

The only thing Trump and Whisky Pete care about is BIG BOOM GO BOOM. BOOM WANK BOOM. It's all about Don and Pete having a wank-off over murder porn videos of innocent people being blown to bits. Trump thinks what's wrong with if *you* don't like wanking off to state murder.

Since I hand rake the leaves on my lawn and pile them on my half-assed Hügelkultur bed right in front of my house, does that mean I can be arrested by ICE for aiding and abetting escaped compost? #fuckICE #fallleaves

El-Sayed handled this so well I almost started thinking this guy was a plant lol but apparently not www.thehandbasket.co/p/tommy-teep...

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

On Trump's orders, the military continues to deplete expensive and hard to restock munitions for the purpose of him and Whisky Pete having a wank-off over murder porn videos of innocent people being blown to bits. Trump thinks you should be wanking to state murder too.

Paul Krugman has gotten a bit gloomy of late, but I don't think he's wrong about this. Trump can smell his own loser taint, and he's going to take it out on anyone and anything he can demolish in America and the world, because it's all our fault. And no Albert Speer this time.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

A moment of silence 😆😆

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

This, absolutely sincerely. Most of these guys are doing high crimes and misdemeanors. A bunch of them are involved in waging an illegal, unauthorized war. Congress' investigatory powers are at their *peak* in an impeachment context. So impeach, impeach, impeach.

I could go into excruciating detail about how the truth of Trump's beholdenness to Russia doesn't matter because his followers live a fact-free existence and in the Trumpworld narrative, the "Russia Russia Russia" thing is a hoax... and I have! www.hipcrimevocab.net/stage-four-t...

Daughter: “Mother, I think I’m a boy.” Mother: “Phew. I thought you were going to say Republican.”

Kills me how Ukraine and US both elected guys from the teevee and they got Winston Churchill without the baggage and we got Prince Andrew without the class.

Republicans be out here trying to give us all face blindness.
