Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

Maduro is the stupidest person that ever lived. If he’d just sucked up to Trump, he’d still control Venezuela.

If I get an e-mail telling me someone dissed Bryan Johnson, I'm going to forward it to them with the note "Well done!"

It's not he said/she said. It's he said/she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said she said.

Dude, Kyrgyzstan is not in the Middle East. (And yes, I spelled that right without looking it up. Sporcle website veterans can spell Kyrgyzstan in their sleep.)

IF ... IF ... and it's a big if ... the Democrats take back the Senate, Ossoff would be my choice as majority leader. There's way more to the job than speechifying but speechifying is something he's very good at. Schumer can be the behind-the-scenes guy rustling up votes.

"The rich are only defeated when running for their lives." - CLR James, The Black Jacobins

Just did a podcast interview (I'll link when it airs in a week or two). People who are good at interviews can make them so much fun.

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

And what, pray tell, do Kennedys produce, other than more Kennedys to pollute the world?

Brooke Rollins may yet merge as one of the most destructive members of this Administration. We may be facing big shortages in food thanks to her. I guess that's what we get for having the temerity to think us poors should be allowed to eat meat.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Woman who lost a staring contest with a head of lettuce thinks she could revolutionize orbital dynamics.

JD Vance: “Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar." David French: "Vance, of course, is no stranger to malicious lies." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

if you want to feel renewed, read the comments on the petition.

To me, this has become a litmus test of which Republicans still have some residual decency and which do not. Vote accordingly.

I didn't think @weratedogs.com could get any better but these Puppy Court shorts are hysterical. youtube.com/shorts/ga3D_...

Of course it does. They let poor people vote.

I don’t think this made any difference, but it makes me very disappointed in West.

We’re about three days away from “the President crapping his pants and passing out on the podium was a commentary on the media”.

One of the best Star Trek movies is Galaxy Quest which mocks the show in an adoring way that fans, non-fans and cast all thought was hysterical.

Unscientific vibes-based political analysis: JD Vance doing an obsequious Bengals post *on X* and getting absolutely fucking fried in the replies

It's long past time we stopped attributing mystical powers to betting markets. All they represents is groupthink from the most internet-brained people on the face of the Earth.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

I wouldn't quite say it's falling, but its string of victories has been interrupted. The only way to truly turn the tide is to vote like hell. And then hold the victors' feet to the fire.

Well, shoot.

Hearing about "Sharia Law" from the man who wants gangs of snitches to help authorities hunt down women getting abortions is rich.

Brazil's stock market crashing this morning. The tech bro overlords are mad that their puppet didn't win.

Imagine caring this much about Bill Maher one way or another.

A spectacular X-ray tribute to a fantastic NASA mission. Swift has perhaps weeks left before it burns up during re-entry to Earth's atmosphere, after two decades of chasing the universe's biggest stellar explosions. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/an-x-ray-t... 🔭 🧪

Failed to stop inflation? That’s letting Trump off the hook. Trump CAUSED price increases. His stupid war is why fuel prices are sky-high. Everything else costs more because of that.

To put that in perspective, he's made more money off the war in Iran than an entire classroom of average Americans will make in their lifetimes. Most corrupt Administration ever.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

A tough thing in explaining to people why having children is enjoyable is that all the bad stuff is very easy to explain (lost sleep, lost time, more sickness, less sex, etc. etc.) whereas most of the really good stuff whispers.
