Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Tonight's seasonal watch is an episode (or 2?) of Peacocks The 'Burbs.

Watching Spidey and the Avengers Halloween Team up for my first foray into scary seasonal viewing. Two minutes in and I have questions. Is Cap a grownup and the rest are kids? Is this part of a series? Have I missed something?

Returning from a visit to my parents this weekend. Now that I will be back home I can start my fall seasonal watching. I have obsession, the backrooms and Ghostbusters Frozen Empire on tap to watch this month. What else should I add?

"Damn! Are you the danger room? Because I'm not sure I would last very long inside you, but I think I could improve with practise."

Every time I come across a video that says stop scrolling, I immediately scroll.

But even aside from all that, you don’t have to be a genius to see that trans folk are being slandered and scapegoated by fucking piece of shit politicians and billionaires and I am not going to be quiet about that. No one should be. I am sleepy and probably not saying this well.

Just got this text from “Flip the Senate.” It has Jon Ossoff, who isn’t flipping a seat, and has $45M in the bank. It does NOT have Angie Nixon, who is flipping a seat and needs all the funds she can get as she polls 47-47. Smh the disrespect. DONATE TO ANGIE: secure.actblue.com/donate/frien...

I'm just about done with my foray into westerns now, courtesy of Unforgiven and the man with no name trilogy. I'm starting my screwball comedy series with Bringing Up Baby. What other screwball comedies should I make sure to watch? #nowwatching #movies #film

Fictional characters who truly love their work, in order: 1. Bob Belcher 2. Leslie Knope 3. Emmet from The LEGO Movie 4. Crocodile Dundee 5. Freddy Krueger

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

It's weird that J. Jonah Jameson would actually be a blessed relief compared to the bit newspaper publishers now.

They are who we thought they were . gif

The spade icons in Super Mario Bros. 3 aren't just a sign that you're playing a card game. They're a callback to the 1950s logo Nintendo used when it was making playing cards — AND that's why Mario gets the spade icon in Mario RPG. More info: thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/m5#71

For a lot of people the purpose of politics is to inflict cruelty. I think those people are horrified by Mamdani because there’s no obvious cruelty, so they assume it must be secret and they must be the targets. They can’t imagine a world where someone doesn’t dream about hurting others.

Without saying your age what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18.

Every accusation is a confession. As a former theater operator, I can tell you from experience that the current right-wing conspiracy theory about The Odyssey’s ticket sales has currency because this is, in fact, how small ideologue studios juice their own numbers to make their sales seem strong.

Tonight's viewing is "In the Heat of the Night," a first time watch for me. #nowwatching

Seeing the discourse around the death of Lindsay Graham, I'd like to propose a change. Let's modify "Don't speak ill of the dead" to "Don't speak falsely of the dead." If people didn't want me to speak ill of them when they were dead, they shouldn't be horrible people while they were alive.

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

Sounds like the issue is an affordable college education and not a handful of trans athletes but we seem to only debate and legislate the latter.

I feel like with a little work we can push those Gillibrand numbers down a bit.

Trans people are harming no one. They aren't starting wars, they aren't stealing tax dollars for vanity projects, they aren't destroying democracy, they aren't undoing health and safety standards for corporate cronies. The people making these fucking laws are the ones doing all that.

Did you know if you tell Alexa to turn your lights off, but you don't have an Alexa, nothing happens?

If you’re gonna be wishing catastrophic weather on Washington DC during those rallies, at least talk to some local witches instead of sending your random unfocused-ass energy. We know the cross streets. We can target that shit. Y’all probably over there looking at a map that was generated by a.i. 🧙🏾

I forgot to mention because I need to shout about things more, but… if we can hit my $250 goal for @transempowerment.org Camp Chaos, it will be *matched* so… got $5 or so to chip in, maybe? 🥺 Donate: tilt.fyi/YX3gZvAkrz

Me, working with someone born on 12/31/1999: Obviously this is a young adult, but since they were born in the 20th century, I know I am working with an adult. Me, working with someone born 1/1/2000: Omg, it’s so cute your mommy and daddy let you put on grown-up clothes to come to the office!!!

I had a great weekend at the local comic con and made a HUGE dent in myAvengers Vol 1 goal. Getting the full run will be too expensive for me, so my goal is to collect 100-402. After finding a fantastic deal at one booth, I'm now 39 issues away from that goal. #Marvel #comics #avengere

Enjoyed SPIDER-NOIR eps 1+2 and am looking forward to watching more, but it's a damn shame the creators of the Spider-Man Noir comic didn't even get a Special Thanks in the credits. David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, Carmine Di Giandomenico and designer Marko Djurdjević deserve that at the very least.

Excited for this new movie coming out called IMAX

I'm not a California voter anymore (😢) but I would vote for Steyer if I were.

Went on a 10 store bookstore crawl (drive) with a friend for a belated independent bookstore day celebration. It was so much fun. Looking into making this an annual tradition.

I'm finally getting the hang of Clues by Sam, a very coollogic puzzle game. Give it a try if thats your thing. cluesbysam.com/s/help/319f2...

Voted! #Alexandria

Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mention Kushner has received billions from the Saudi government (2/28-4/19): NYT: 5 of 58 WashPost: 1 of 43 WSJ: 0 of 40 AP: 0 of 26 CNN Wire: 0 of 18 NY Post: 0 of 17 Chicago Tribune: 0 of 4 LA Times: 0 of 4 Boston Globe: 0 of 2

Thinking about doing some writing regularly. Times like this i miss LiveJournal. I know substack is perona non grata, is medium still a good option?

This is a fun read. I love a deep dive into a niche topic like this.

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

REMINDER: Saudi Arabia does not want the war in Iran to end before there is regime change. The Saudis are paying a top U.S. negotiator, Jared Kushner, tens of millions annually. The negotiations just ended without a deal, exactly what the Saudis wanted.

You’ll notice this graph ends in 2024 and I think I know why. In 2025, the government killed the youth smoking survey we’ve done annually since 1999. I assume they killed the adult surveys too.

“The practice protected their egos at the expense of their minds” is such a beautifully succinct turn of phrase. What a simple way of articulating this.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it
