The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

If the AI bubble has indeed begun to pop, a class of companies known as the neoclouds might be to blame. Sometimes referred to as the middlemen of AI, neoclouds primarily rent out access to the specialized computer chips, or GPUs, that help power behemoths like Amazon, Meta and Microsoft.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

people are always asking me what my favourite "cutaway to a flashback in a video game where the audio fades in a cool way" is. it's in oni

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for. Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

Walter Koenig, legendary STAR TREK star and writer, dead at 90 Walter Marvin Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on Star Trek: The Original Series and in the original crew Star Trek films, died on Sunday, October 25th, 2026 at his home in North Hollywood. The actor’s daughter, Danielle, and his niece…

No one will disagree with me when I say that the great cast is one of the main reasons the original Star Trek has endured for so long, and Walter Koenig was terrific as Chekov. My heart goes out to my friend Danielle, his wonderful daughter. Rest In Peace.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight" has been really bugging me because a) yes you can and b) you definitely should, that was the main problem

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Like realizing your parents aren't infallible, political adulthood begins when you realize the "great minds" elites rely on are all dumb fucking propagandists that capitalism lifts through the system because they're shameless in their wrongness and are willing to serve as dull priests of whatever.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

this why I believe abstinence is the only real way, but I know it's hard we have been here before with smoking, where the best thing is never to start & the second best is to stop as soon as you can — and it doesn't matter if one cig a day is "not that bad" if you can go down to one go down to nil

Yesterday, Flávio Bolsonaro lost in Brazil, and Aleksandar Vučić’s party lost in Serbia. What was rejected was not just two leaders, but the populist authoritarian politics they represent. Congratulations to Lula da Silva and Serbia’s students. Never lose hope in democracy.

Why read past headlines: You, savvy, know there's MAGA pastors calling to repeal the 19th amendment. What I add: evidence that this is becoming more mainstream. In particular, TPUSA has quietly taken up the cause. www.salon.com/2026/10/26/m...

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday. His opponent Flávio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled due to a last-minute decision extended voting by two hours.

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Megacorps* are an existential threat to civil society, as is the conspiracy of billionaires. Every available legal mechanism should be used to deal with this. That's the moderate solution.

Remember when Media & Political Elite promised US that Trump was tapping into “economic anxiety” not racism?

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

A new analysis shows early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

NEW, NYT: More action from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of California that is not based in law and runs counter to DOJ policy. DOJ is threatening local elections officials in CA after DOJ did not get what they wanted from their BS lawsuit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Stop being so credulous and believing a damn thing the professional liars at Anthropic say. “Claude mythos” did not do a damn thing. Someone running Claude Mythos, a process they control, on machines that they control, negligently set their tools loose in public.
