10 minute intermission in the turbolib Elon Musk documentary, to make you ponder the life choices that led you here

Johan Forssell ledde nordiskt ministermöte om migration 22–23 oktober. I media har jag bara sett att man diskuterade stoppa ryska skidåkare. Regeringens svenska pressmeddelande nämner också mest det. Men engelska versionen är betydligt längre och där nämns bl.a. utvisningsläger utanför EU.

This is becoming a common pattern worldwide and if you're wondering it's because facism and patriarchy are twins.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Here's a funny thing. Was toying with this standard issue lib transphobe, as usual getting zero interactions on their posts, when all of a sudden 5 likes. Looking at them and well...let's just say the "bot" accusation is a confession.

So I keep wondering if you think this is something any of us haven't encountered before? Do you not think we recognize what it is when someone wants our support without recognizing our humanity? Are you aware there are entire political theories around this kind of anti-queer rhetoric?

You always have to remember that the New York Times lost board members over their connections to Epstein. They DO NOT want to cover it fully or investigate, they want it to go away.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

Saw that Musk is playing at my local AMC and said "oh no" in my head when I realized I probably have to go see it

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

This is not a serious way to talk or think about politics, it's how we talk about children or bigoted grandparents. No one ever got a job with the expectations that they will learn, grow and evolve enough to possibly perform it well in the future.

This is Disney adult brain, where someone *might* be visited by three ghosts and learn the error of their current ways. But tbc if this is how we think about pols, we might as well elect *anyone*, since *anyone* *could* *change*.

How is People’s magazine doing better coverage than most legacy media? people.com/former-miss-...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Today I watched You Can See Everything for the second time (I'm writing about it), and when Billy Evans mentions Charlie Kirk, the guy next to me went "Charlie Kirk!!", and then applauded himself a little bit, and then when Billy Evans said he is armed 24/7, the guy exclaimed "GOOD!" lmao

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

I can't like or reskeet today. Not banned, site is just broken. Anyway, imagine that I liked your post, and also reposted it for my followers to see. You're welcome. That's just the kind of guy I am.
