Teaching Minority Report this week and oh boy I don't like how quickly it went from "here's a look back at Minority Report as it turns 10" to "holy fuck we're basically halfway to 2054, wonder if I'll make it there?"

“He ushered her into the suite, where upon entering, Trump reportedly grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body. Keul described the rape as ‘brutal.’”

Worth noting that Steve Bannon apparently believes the MAGA movement erred by pretending their anti-higher education campaign was about fighting antisemitism.

Greetings from South Carolina👋💙🏄 🐬 530,000 early votes so far. Working hard. @thedemcoalition.bsky.social

Maybe the Catholic leaders shouldn't have tried sucking up to the serial rapist who brags about drone murdering fishermen

Hall of Fame SS/CF Robin Yount, surely you have better options available than Yuengling.

I missed that the Ears + Hands series that I'm running at UBC on Thursdays at lunchtime through the fall made it into the Georgia Straight listings! If you're in the Vancouver area, bring your handwork and learn about textiles and technology. Free and open to all. www.straight.com/listings/eve...

Ads during the 1996 World Series: awe look baby, the frogs are saying "Budweiser" Ads during the 2026 World Series: white genocide is threatening the master race

Baseball has things called "ghost runners" but they don't appear in October, even though it's the spookiest of all months

An incredibly interesting breakdown of arcade donkey kong's development by Hirohisa Komanome of Itegaki (the for-hire company handling Nintendo's programming at the time, as nintendo didn't have in-house programmers for a long time.) shmuplations.com/donkeykong/

The AI University Is a remediation of the MOOC University for LLMs.

(a) this is fucking gross; (b) it impacts everyone else because we have to wade through your AI slop and treat it as if it's sincere; and (c) we also spend our time overworked picking up the labor that you don't do because it can't be automated, but enjoy your "productivity" I guess.

Ok I take it back

Need this sweep tonight so I don't have to see Biberty again

One thing that has genuinely shocked me over the past year is how many faculty are now using LLMs for nearly every part of their jobs. Not as tools to assist their thinking, but to offload the entire job itself. 1/7

I feel like the SAW and HUNGER GAMES franchises are due for a crossover.

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

"Long has our society known the phenomenon of a man insisting upon wearing shorts no matter how cold it is outside, but in our rapidly warming world, a new generation of inappropriate dressers will emerge. I am the vanguard of that generation." buff.ly/LPSyRF8

they spent at least two of their four years exploring how to bring charges against 18 year olds camping out on college campuses to protest the United States' complicity in human rights abuses

"Why don't you go to the bathroom in more survival games?" is a joke that came up during our podcast over the summer. I reached out to developers about it, and their answers were complicated and fascinating, from spiraling design issues to the deeper meaning behind where to put the toilet

I'm still rooting for a game 7

somebody just needs to tell them a Black Harvard professor was involved

It’s a real thing I can hold in my hands!!

Hello, new followers. I track ICE flights and third-country removals at @prospect.org. This is what the ICE Air operation looked like yesterday, Oct. 23, 2026. --88 flights --14 removal stops --3 third-country removal stops --Nearly all adult passengers shackled at the ankles, wrists & waist.

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you time traveled back to when I was 20 and told me I’d end up drawing Beavis and Butthead as the lovers from Pompeii for an October daily drawing prompt I would have probably jumped off a cliff

Just to make this concrete: if I picked a grain of sand somewhere on the earth’s surface, and you went to a random location on the planet with a pair of tweezers and by sheer luck picked up that very grain of sand first try, that would be MORE statistically likely than Trump not being a rapist.

I remember watching "Westworld" a year or so after seeing "Jurassic Park" and thinking, "Wow. Crichton really ripped this off. Then seeing at the end that Michael Crichton was also responsible for "Westworld."

On May 17 1915, the ocean liner RMS Lusitania was sunk by the German navy off the coast of Ireland, killing 1197 crew & civilians. The ship had set sail for Liverpool from New York, despite explicit warnings from Germany that it considered all British waters a war zone and all British ships targets.

If this is from a Republican pollster then I REALLY want to see a high-quality poll of this race.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Oh my Goddess, it finally happened this World Series. The. Milwaukee. Brewers. ⚾

Refuse to get my hopes up in the SC senate race after huffing Harrison fumes for months in 2020, but damn these polls numbers are pretty crazy this late.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

there is a subset of ppl who are pro-AI because they think it will bring on the singularity and free them from their physical bodies which they resent or are disgusted by, thus allowing them to ascend to their true anime form

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
