Wow! I did not see that one coming. "Serbia’s strongman leader Vucic concedes defeat to student-led movement in seismic political shift" reports @apnews.com #Serbia

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Oh my goodness -- for nearly 3 minutes, Mike Rogers refuses to answer Kristen Welker's repeated questions about if he considers himself to be "a MAGA Republican"

You should be cheering nearly as much for Lula's victory in Brazil as you would for Trump's death. Because Trump's loss in Brazil will halt his plans to completely control the Americas for good

Given the way that gender features so heavily in modern right wing ideology is not that incredible

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Not to ruin anyone’s Sunday afternoon, but Brazilians are voting for president today. We’ll start getting returns at 4pm ET, and, based on the results of the first round it’d be a clear surprise if Lula survives against Bolsonaro — even if polls have tightened in the last two weeks.

Trans people are so desperately needed in journalism, there are very few of us and most are freelancers. The Trans Journalists Association does phenomenal work supporting trans journalists while also providing resources for their cis colleagues. Please consider giving during their funding drive. 💚

Trans Journalists Association@transjournalists.org

We're digging our heels in. 🥾👠 TJA is raising $25,000 by Dec 1 for trans and gender-expansive journalists, because we're in this work for the long haul. And we're just getting started! Give today: bit.ly/DiggingOurHeelsIn

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

And here is where i scare all my new followers by stating my shit is QUEER AF. Just ripping the bandaid off now so I don't jump scare y'all later when it comes up. The gods are a horny polycule blasting a cosmic worm with bisexual lighting. Can't say i didn't warn ya.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

We MUST flip 4 seats to win the Senate, more for a cushion. Cooper (NC) looks safest. The best chances for 3 more are among Peltola (AK), Jackson (ME), El-Sayed (MI), Turek (IA), Brown (OH), Talarico(TX). We MUST also HOLD OPEN seats in (MI), (NH), (MN), and Ossoff's (GA). Tight. MUST go ALL-IN.

It is absolutely ridiculous how much time (and therefore money) the NHS and govt are spending on clamping down on trans people’s rights, instead of providing healthcare. If a man wants to assault someone he does not need to pretend to be a trans woman. He’ll just ignore the fucking sign & walk in.

One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.

Dan Sohege@danielsohege.bsky.social

The EHRC chair either does not understand the principle of rights, or has decided to gaslight trans individuals while stripping those rights. The EHCR code undermines, and, arguably in several ways, outright violates rights for trans individuals, including Articles 8, 11, and 14 of the ECHR. 1/

Trump: "It's called a coganative [sic] test. It's a very standard test, but very tough. There are few people in this audience that can -- once you get past the first question. They show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe, and a snake and they say, 'Which one is the lion?' Biden was unable to answer that"

it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
