Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Chris Sommerfeldt@c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Yup! Just will sit there for two years doing nothing, Democrats will get blamed for it all, some even nuttier fuck will win in 2028 and Congress will swing back, and they'll just be like "guess we're minority leaders again!"

The Nerdskull@nerdskull.bsky.social

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are speaker and majority leader, no matter how large their majorities are, no progress will be made. They will do nothing.

No Christmas?!? Santamataldum!!!

Trump is campaigning in Michigan against Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He claims that if El-Sayed and the Democrats win, they'll let in crowds of jihadists and people won't even be able to have Christmas.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

Damn, this is fucking insane....30 day deployments underground.....

Obvious electoral rake-stepping aside, at what point is anyone going to acknowledge that young men are not “locked out” of the economy by some nefarious entity (women), they are literally feeding all of their disposable income into the gaping maw of sportsbetting apps. It’s actually quite simple.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

Frustrated younger, male voters feeling locked out of the economy and diminishing opportunities are rapidly abandoning the Republican coalition, or straight up opting out of political action altogether

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.

I love when pinball machines make up an entire fantasy world of Gorgar and his brother Algar across two different tables. I want to know so much more about Gorgar and Algar and their world. Gor and Algar in brothers expanded universe, movies, TVs when?

Secular Talk @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social

The next dem president should pursue criminal charges not just against the MAGA crime family but also against every company illegally building Trump's vanity projects. If you're working on the Epstein ballroom, you're going to prison. If you're working on the arc de Trump, you're going to prison etc

surely the iranian response to crippling their ability to export oil will be to give up and not escalate

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social

White House is considering targeted strikes on Kharg Island, which handles approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports. The goal is to force concessions on Tehran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz before the US midterm elections on Nov. 3.

It’s depressing to see schools use AI to create flyers, banners, & t-shirts. When I was in high school the faculty would come to the art department to have students create these things. I learned so many skills that have followed me my entire professional life. That’s what I thought school was for.

a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top

And you really can't depend on us not electing some new racist corrupt criminal idiot down the line, so best to just move on and assume the US led international order is over and that you need to deal with your own shit without the US ever being there for you.

No country should trust the U.S. as an ally as long as treacherous, greedy authoritarians are in charge of the U.S. government. The U.S. should be treated as a pariah by all democratic nations.

Is it weird that as a kid I fanticized being a failing alcoholic Las Vegas lounge singer in a really dive-y lounge? I used to practice bad overdone versions of Frank Sinatra songs, tell horrible jokes in between, and remind people to hit the free shrimp buffet. Not even joking!

I would have been an astronaut

It always blows my mind that a Corn Muffin is like fucking Unobtanium in Seattle. We figured out NYC east coast pizza kinda, bagels fairly well, there is soul food and corn BREAD, various southern bbq, but the simple pleasure of a good corn muffin pan fried in butter is just totally absent.

It's quite literally human sacrifice. They continue to cargo cult fascism, because "fake it until you make it" is the only thing they know. They're hoping a ritual public killing will bring their flagging power and legitimacy back, no different from previous sacrifice religions.

Trump: You wanna see trauma? I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles.

Lol, kinda appreciate "Does not like socializing with anyone" on mine.

"Nobel Prize? More like Trump deserves the *Ig*-noble prize! Hi, I'm Chuck Schumer." "And I'm Hakeem Jeffries. Americans are tired of Trump's rhetoric. It's time to reach across the aisle and compromise. Will you chip in five dollars today so we can write him a letter?"

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW
