Yes, no, and would rather die (for that inch)

I think this would have been true in 2028 even if Trump hadn't become so unpopular, but he's accelerated it by two years. Hopefully it means I'll get to visit the States in 2027.

All of the major sports leagues making deals with "prediction" markets is going to end up being more harmful to those leagues long term than CTE for contact sports.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

on some level, this is just a form of anti-politics.

I can't bring myself to watch something Matt Yglesias is in.

Wow! Disgusting!!

Before the midterms?!

Sounds great.

This would likely be comfortable majority territory for the Conservatives unfortunately.

Alberta referendum, Wed 1:59 p.m. count: Smith’s side leads on 7 of 9, No to the Nine on Q6 (judges) and Q8 (opt-out). But 350k+ mail ballots are still uncounted on Q6–Q9, and mail is running 25–30% yes. Q7 and Q9 aren’t safe. Unofficial, still counting.

This man was a born Wide Receiver.

I'm an atheist but will make an exception this time 💀.

Canadians want to prioritize clean energy over fossil fuels, Carney government told in internal report New public opinion research commissioned by federal government shows a majority of Canadians want to see Canada become a clean energy superpower

It will continue to accelerate as LLMs are leveraged to micro-target gamblers to extract every last dollar before they log off for rehab (in a best-case scenario).

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Trump really wants Putin to win before the midterms.

Seahawks offensive line:

Thank god the Seahawks won last year or this would be a more frustrating season to watch. Hopefully they can get into the playoffs at least.

It sure seems like Newsom wants to run as a Silicon Valley Republican in 2032. Even someone as cynical as he is wouldn't try in 2028.

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Remembering that time when some big name accounts were arguing that X is all good now and the algorithm has been de-Elon'd. Wait, that was yesterday. The same time this was happening.

Dodgers losing averts the lockout.

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

Peter Thiel looks like if someone mixed up the Dorian Gray painting spell.

And how will I develop those preferences from within the recursive slop loop?

Every Brad Bradford endorsement is like, "Toronto used to be a utopia with zero problems. Now it is only fit for the most violent of rats, where sentient crack pipes murder you in dark alleys and feral child gangs feast on the Lululemons of my yoga mom group. Brad will fix this. I live in Whitby."

What's the punishment if you blow up 200+ people on boats to create content for your ailing despot?

Unironically cannot think of a better political development than this portion of the left breaking from Mamdani

The 20% is the true floor of support for abject racism in America. I suspect it's similar in Canada but our government is representative as opposed to based on a strong Senate that wildly misrepresents the demographics of the country.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
