Reupping this. There are three shitty leaders going to war right now and not one of the civilians beneath them deserve any of the harm that might befall them as a consequence. If you feel differently about civilians being harmed, one of us is getting blocked and it doesn't matter which.

After he inevitably ends up here, the next Democratic POTUS should extradite him straight back to Brazil in full a Hannibal Lecter strait jacket, but with a nose tube instead of a bite mask.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

God, it's beautiful.

This is a cat in a stroller. It has nothing to do with the elections

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.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

I just let out a completely unhinged cackle in my office.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

intelligence is knowing that if i ever looked up anything about Magyar, Lula, or any of the other election winners i would probably not be great fans of their politics wisdom is knowing it doesn't matter because defeating the global chud coalition is all that matters for the foreseeable future

Is this how I found out?

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

HAHAHA ARE WE REALLY ABOUT TO DEFEAT FASCISM WITH THE POWER OF "FUCK YOU, I VOTED" IN SERBIA AND BRAZIL IN ONE DAY?

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

This has got to be the attitude: always vote against the disgusting fascist (e.g., MAGA/Trump R's in the U.S.), even if you don't particularly like the alternative. Be smart, strategic, and prevent authoritarianism, dictatorship, massive human rights abuses, etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/10/sund...

Bro screwed up so bad he managed to lose the Solid Snake cosplayer.

Congratulations to the world's new champions of liberty, the...*squints*...Magyars and...*squints again*...Serbs.

Everything is delayed by two hours as courts extended voting after complaints of blocked public transit by Bolsonaro supporters, and worries about bad weather. www.bbc.com/news/live/cm...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Monster of the Week was X-Files' sweet spot and I'll die on this hill.

I will scream this from the rooftops despite being a fan of stuff like Tokusatsu. There are fandom spaces for adults, there are fandom spaces for kids, there should be a healthy distance between them, and it's on adults to find that distance and maintain it 'cos kids literally don't know how.

"Are you going to abide by Donald Trump's blanket pardons of personnel involved in criminal activities from 2025 to 2029?" is a litmus question for any 2028 candidate.

I would simply ignore any such pardons as a matter of national security. Any country that cannot punish a violent, well-heeled, treasonous movement determined to destroy it from within is not going to survive. Cracking down on these people is an existential requirement for the United States.

"Kemalito is a Death Rider and everyone just accepts it" is the best thing in pro-wrestling and it's not even close.

Pro-wrestling, I say without one goddamn hint of irony.

Am I twigging out or did Word change the button order on margin comments?

...well. shit. Gotta give the man his flowers on this one.

"I will regulate Kalshi and Polymarket out of existence" is a must for any '28 Democrat.

Krugman is a liberal economist but even still 10 years ago I couldn't imagine him calling for expropriation and (temporary) nationalization of a major company. What stage of capitalism is this? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

This! Our university is having a second consecutive year of cuts and layoffs, in a democratic supermajority state where there was zero interest in providing party funding for us even in comparison with the other state universities in Illinois. Research funding has cratered. The Democrats shrug.

Honestly, I respect this response.

Nobody else gets to do a "found family" story ever again, because the concept has peaked with the DCF. #AEWDynamite

I have literally seen people deny that economies of scale exist

i personally don't believe you have to smile to look stylish. for instance: IG charlie_the_griffon

Love people who blame the auditors. Always a good sign.

Now that Wedgewood Polls has been exposed as fakers, let's consider the odd fact that this year not one but TWO polling firms put out a fake poll and then claimed it had been a "social experiment" to see if fake data would enter the mainstream. Median Strategies used the same phrase in August. 1/
