Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Pretty wild: Even some MAGA figures are now panicking about the early vote. And for good reason: The electorate is 11 points more Dem than at this point in 2024, and Latino vote is surging.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

It feels like they’re closing with chaos instead of with strength. And you’re starting to see it in how they’re approaching the final ad spend in the race, and also what they’re doing with his time. I think they are in a form of panic now. trib.al/4E3wm7r

Have to be honest here: Comic con tables are getting so expensive that I can see a point where indie creators are priced out of exhibiting. It simply won't be worth the cost / time. It's a worrying trajectory I don't see many discussing. If exhibitors can't afford to exhibit, there's no show 🤷‍♂️

Donald Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to the report.

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

Jon Ossoff’s closing argument went in for the kill.

Just sad. It's like they're not even trying anymore.

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

This football game really needs to end in a tie

I’ll save you the hate click to note that the author is an interior designer with a podcast and a new book to sell, so just keep on walking

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with extremist organization Live Action that his intervention in surrogacy cases is about promoting fetal personhood—an argument that could imperil not just surrogacy, but also abortion, IVF, and some forms of birth control.

So, this is still going on. If you can evade being caught on-the-scene, it is perfectly legal in New York City to ram someone with a car. The police will treat you, the victim, like you're a pain in the ass.

It's crazy that Dave Matthews, of all people, gave us the best description of a baby every written

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...
