I keep coming back to this. wonderwyrm.tumblr.com/post/7239467...

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Maryland, heads up.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

If I wake up tomorrow and the Rays somehow pulled off an all time comeback I will apologize to the Brewers for jinxing them.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

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.

Judiciary Committee should have put a joke about the Cheesecake Factory in the document. Then maybe it would get more coverage.

I turned on the World Series like 10 minutes ago. It was 2-0 Brewers. It's now 10-0. That was bananas!

The only reason anyone is talking about Marissa Mayer or Dazzle is that her marketing team understands how to deploy rage bait, and most of the Internet still can't spot it in the wild.

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Republicans, they're not like us.

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 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.

Meta suspended @nokingscoalition.bsky.social’s account for over an hour during one of the largest protests in U.S. history. Democratic AGs are demanding answers.

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.

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

Don't give me hope.

I'm capable of doing it but I hate leaving my house.

I really recommend that you check out @pregnancyjust.bsky.social's report with the latest data— there’s so much there. Read more: jessica.substack.com/p/report-ove...

South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

Used to be that the political media would play up the salaciousness of a sex scandal but for Trump they cover it like he got caught turning in his TPS reports late bsky.app/profile/dgst...

Recall again how the same newspaper chose to write up "duplicate Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop." Was that a bigger deal or less of a big deal than rape?

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

Oh no. RIP.

the best mindset for how to treat the press actually came from a report i read about george w bush eons ago: treat them like a special interest group. they have their obsessions and fetishes and whatnot but theyre not god. they dont get to dictate shit. bsky.app/profile/lafo...

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Trump stole hundreds of billions of dollars from us and handed it to his friends at the oil companies. We pay, they prosper. Trump take gas

College Republicans in Michigan are being offered hundreds of dollars to heckle Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. @marisakabas.bsky.social gives the backstory on the conservative organization offering the money. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

As a GOP legislator in North Carolina, Sarah Stevens helped her party adopt gerrymanders and strict voter ID rules. Now she’s running to unseat Democratic Justice Anita Earls, who voted to strike down those laws.

🧵

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

Another great piece from Melissa. And solid grounds for a rewatch of the Bread and Roses scene from Pride.

IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...

Brazilians got to vote against the Bolsonaros, the Trumps, and Meta Platforms, Inc. all at once.

3. It appears linked to a similar effort by a shady group targeting Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota.
