Death will not release you!𓅽

A few history notes, because as an old person (born before JFK died), I hear people saying stuff that just isn't true.

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

It's not all based on Beavis & Butthead. A significant portion of companies base their business model on that of the Underpants Gnomes from South Park.

it is odd in retrospect how easy it was for the “but trump ended his friendship with epstein” narrative to be accepted as fact

Paywalls on court documents impede democracy. But instead of getting rid of PACER fees, the judiciary is implementing a 20% fee hike. free.law/2026/10/21/p...

so there's no chance he's headed anywhere but florida, right

Opinion | Democrats lead in the polls with the election just a week away. They must seal the deal with an onslaught of rallies starring Liz Cheney and Cindy McCain.

Kids don't TP / roll homes anymore because everyone has a Nest doorbell. It's such a different time for what it means to be young. They won't dance at clubs; they're scared of being caught on video. A digital prison of sorts. So much developmentally & experientially lost. Not endorsing TP. lol

reminder for all the wilfully ignorant shitlibs in the replies

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

We need to get money out of politics. Let's start with Elon Musk. Full story in reply.

Keep me posted if you see anything relevant - especially related to tech policy and strategy work around civilian drones, aid, investigating war crimes, and remote sensing. (I’m more of a policy/research wonk than anything else, but I can wear many hats and have a lot of technical experience).

Related: I’m still looking for leads and help on jobs, fellowships, and freelance contracts on drones, GIS, aid, disaster, OSINT, tech ethics, and journalism. I simply will not work for evil people and/or weapons manufacturers, which is also why I haven’t had paying work since Trump 2.0 began.

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

An Arab chemist won the Nobel Prize literally last year. RFK is not only a bigot, he's a stupid ignorant one. (Remember, this is the dude who claimed COVID was engineered to spare Jews and Asians.)

Breaking News from News Week: U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman, appointed in 2012 by former President Barack Obama, ruled that Comey’s July 2025 termination violated federal law and granted her retroactive reinstatement and back pay through December 20, 2025.

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

Look, it seems absurd to say, but since Hegseth took the helm I can’t completely discount the possibility.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

#MosaicMonday #Roman 🏺 Marine theme in vestibule of Domus M Caesi Blandi, centurion of Praetorian Guard, #Pompeii. Two dolphins + sea serpent beside a trident, around a ship's rudder topped w bird, + fortifications on threshold panel above. Perhaps a tribute to source of family fortunes.

That puts us at, what, four red state GOP parties committing seppuku (GA, AZ, OH, NC)? Based on the dynamics of the TX GOP the last few lege sessions I'd bet they're next if Talarico wins.

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

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The Trump Administration's below-the-radar gutting of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is truly flabbergasting -- and is the kind of thing that will lead to avoidable illness and death down the line, even if we won't be able to trace it discretely. www.washingtonsun.com/health/insid...

Sorry for the interruption. @excavate.top is coming to its second anniversary (November 7th!), and it's nearing the moment I need to pay to renew the domain name. I've been dreading this moment: I'm unemployed and surviving off very little money every month, so this is gonna hurt my finances.

An openly white supremacist ad followed by a Sydney Sweeney ad? The commercial breaks are like vacationing in hell.

Because apparently this is the year where I elevate my childhood cereal box recipes, homemade Chex Mix with Hot Old Bay and extra hot sauce mixed into good butter and Worcestershire sauce is GLORIOUS

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

this isn't a call out I just want to say that all racism is factually wrong

There once was a man from Cork, who got limericks and #haiku confused

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.
