Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

i took down my old post because of a spelling error, which is less embarrassing than losing the election and immediately having your passport confiscated because you are being prosecuted for massive corruption. i hope Jair and Flavio grow old together in whatever prison hospital has the worst food

all else aside its pretty funny how right wing guys take one L and immediately start tweeting We Break The Law At All Times You Have To Lock Me Up Immediately

union person@junlper.beer

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

i've been on both sides of this and god it sucks to have someone just say "you'll be okay" but also, what else CAN you say in that situation, esp if its online?

EXACTLY lol, i think cheesecake factory is fine, nothing amazing but fine but my god the place looks tacky

adonis (and cait)@cait.bsky.social

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

We are relieved to see that another Bolsonaro will not take power in Brazil. But only grassroots action can address the deeper issues at play. “If Bolsonaro wins, they kill us—if Lula wins, they let us die.” crimethinc.com/2026/09/29/i...

THE FACTORY

not that anyone asked but my position on gen AI: - do not use it for writing or art or anything creative - it can be a tool to assist with code but it should not be wholesale AI generated - do not make slop contributions to projects - pure AI projects with no human code are generally bad

also: - it can be good for finding vulnerabilities. it does not fix them on its own. - it can do some science, mostly medical research and math, but it should not do anything relating to history or humanities in general

the navy isn't as much of a surprise but i was not expecting we'd get the United States Marines in the national divorce

Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

also the AI assisted label is required only for AI art assets and if you generate large swathes of code, if you just like use an AI for reviewing code or for line completion or whatever you don't have to use the label lmfao

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Wintersong@wintersong.bsky.social

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
