Inside me are two wolves: One who cares fiercely about American elections. And another, who is voting on a specific day to get a sticker with a ghost on it.

I love that the official policy of Pat McAfee, Inc. is "Salt Lake City too spicy"

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

#til A Chinese nickname for Trump: "'Chuan Jianguo,' which roughly means 'Trump, the (Chinese) nation builder.'"

This needs robust recirculation: youtu.be/t0e9guhV35o?...

Eric Bauza. Legend.

🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

Ramaswamy may have pulled his horrible ad featuring Amy Acton's mother, but it doesn’t erase that he publicly punished Acton for the horrible cards she was dealt, which is parents who provided an unsafe, unstable home. His moral compass does not exist and he’s unfit to lead Ohio.

The Con-clave

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: the UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. All you have to do is keep your eyes open and look carefully for them... tomcox.substack.com/p/20-of-the-...

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Don't think about a return to Status quo pre Trump. Those days are gone. Works towards transformative change!

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

“Ramaswamy’s ad embraces a woman who enabled sexual abuse—and uses the language of ‘parental estrangement’ to mobilize MAGA voters who can’t understand why their children won’t take their calls. But they know the reason. They just don’t want to accept it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/editors-note...

CON-CLAVE

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

This the one about the Free Speech Absolutist?

Sure is rotten of the New Level of Threat and Fear to do this to the hapless Trump administration

This footage shot by a tourist aboard Jacksonville Boat Charters near Amelia Island, Florida shows a leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). At 2000 lbs (900 kg) & 7 ft long (2.1 m) they're the largest turtles & indeed one of the heaviest extant reptiles on Earth. Here There Be Monsters!

Honestly for as long as I’ve been aware of White’s contrarian and obtuse to the point of otherworldly reviews I guess I just missed the simple explanation that he’s a conservative crank?

Find someone who loves you as much as Italians love eye trauma in their horror movies.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Researchers who track online influence operations say Kremlin-backed groups are renewing tactics they've used to sow distrust and discord in previous elections in the U.S. and around the world. n.pr/4snxJFv

Answering earnestly: That's not quite what they convinced these voters. They didn't convince them that they were just going after "the criminals.🤷🏿‍♂️" They convinced them that they were just going after *Black people*. Eg, they convinced racist Cubans that racist Haitians would get hurt.

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

You know who else plays both sides of an issue in order to screw the vote? Russia.
