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

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

Trump claims that thanks to Republicans, Mississippi's schools are "among the best ranked in the nation"

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for the role of United Nations Secretary-General. - WSJ Oh hell no!

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

“Liberals are the new racists” - ad by Bobby Jindal’s PAC — The audacity of Republicans on racism. They run the Supreme Court, Congress and the White House while deporting anybody brown, shooting anyone who gets in their way and firing as many African American women they can find in government jobs.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

The Asian Football Confederation has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as FIFA president in an apparent turnaround in its stance from two months ago when it criticized the head of soccer’s world governing body for a breach of trust.

What's Donald's next award? "Better Christian Than Jesus, Donald J. Trump"? "More Handsome Than Cary Grant, Donald J. Trump"? "Most Smartest than Albert Einstein, Donald J. Trump"? "Better Golfer AND MORE HUGELY ENDOWED than Arnold Palmer, Donald J. Trump"?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

One day a reporter will finally snap back “shut the fuck up, grandpa” and become the first GoFundMe billionaire

There are certainly animals with weird complex genomes. But let me update your graph with the maize numbers.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

Scoop from @brettlogiurato.bsky.social: CBS has sold its local election night coverage to DraftKings, stirring more controversy inside the David Ellison-owned company. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

For Carrie Frances: 🎂 ❤️

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

What is even happening anymore

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

Trump: "If you elect a Republican House and Senate on November 3, you'll get $5,000. And if we lose, you get nothing."

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

The invincible airplane

I’m sorry but how do we square “at that point it all changed” with “he didn’t sleep before the game in London because sleep was a risk”?

LOL -- Trump announces a women's health task force to be led by ... ... ... RFK Jr

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

The dark side of nominative determinism.

Putin proposing a summit with him, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping to decide the fate of Ukraine reminds me of the time I had dinner with Taffy and Delores to decide how to trick Darlene into selling her beachfront condo to us for 70% below market value. Good times!

I was accused of being sensationalist or exaggerating when our 2022 research paper predicted one in 15 visible points in the sky would be a moving satellite. I think maybe we were actually too conservative. I hate this so very very much.

YES BITCH FUCK THEM UP

Everyone should also add Pi-hole to their setup. You don't even have to actually buy a Raspberry Pi to use it (but doing so gets you a cool little computer that doesn't do Windows, so, win) since it can also run on other OSs. It cuts out ads before they even get to your router! pi-hole.net

Oh, Donald . . . That's not a gym. It's a gay bathhouse. And you have *never* looked like that.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.
