My brother is four years older and looks fifteen years younger.

This is so damn dark

I sometimes wonder if Peter Thiel leaves a thick, shiny streak wherever he goes, like a banana slug. He and Clammy Sammy Altman are the two sweatiest men I've ever seen.

The newly-released documents show communication between Jeffrey Epstein and numerous high profile individuals, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, and former White House senior counselor Steve Bannon.

The GOP is the party of groomers and rape enthusiasts, apparently

Anonymous activists are back with their statue, which the Trump administration previously damaged, to satirically honor the men's "long-lasting bond."

Cuando ellas fueron dragones Kelly Barnhill afirma que Cuando ellas fueron dragones nació como un cuento y creció hasta convertirse en novela. Y es cierto: podemos leerla como un cuento encantado en el que, de repente, mujeres se transforman en dragonas. Bellísimas, brillantes, poderosas. Se alzan…

Layoffs since April: Amazon: 30k Intel: 25k UPS: 20k Microsoft: 15k Meta: 3600 Target: 1800 Charter: 1200 Paramount: 1000 Rivian: 600 xAI: 500 Add Verizon to the list. They just laid off 15,000 and then their stock went up. Your reminder that the stock market isn’t the economy

Christmas is coming, kids

A good source to learn about the history and motivations of the tech billionaires who have aided and abetted Trump is The Nerd Reich podcast.

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Turns out, the guy who squawks loudest about the antichrist might be the actual antichrist after all. #thiel #epstein #billionairesaretheproblem

Yes. That and money. Proximity to more money. And more sex. And money.

Point one: holy crap Point two: one thing that astonishes me about these emails is how dumb they are. Dude held the rich and powerful in his weird thrall and he wrote like an eleven year old with dysgraphia. Was it just the access to consequence free sex crimes? What was his hold on people?

This is an excellent primer of the current mess we are in - who is paying for it, what they want, snd how insane their worldview is. We need to understand it so we can fight against it.

Again: this is not hyperbole. These are Thiel's actual stated desires. Did Yarvin actually believe any of the stupid bullshit he wrote? Who cares? If you're paid millions of dollars to come up with batshit political theories, that's what you'll do.

I keep thinking about the fall of tyrants - those who are toppled, those who persist beyond their expiration date, those who collapse due to indolence, lack of imagination or hubris. What will the fall of Trumpism be like? What will we build in its place? How will we care for each other?

There are SO many, so I'm choosing a recent read that resonated strongly with me. This book illustrated women's frustration, power, and the conflict of coming into your full power vs maintaining relationships by maintaining the status quo. #Bookvember 📚💙

God he's stupid

In case you were wondering why the government was shut down:

He's one to talk.

My flight boards in 30 minutes. I am anxious to get home but I am already tired of my country's nonsense. I wish there was an easy way for Trump to simply become erased from the country's consciousness. Like if we all decided, as a group, that we don't know him, haven't heard of him, can't remember.

Ah. Well. "Brass is class", as they say.

I flew away from Nepal last night. Oh, my friends! What a wonderful country. The mountains are exquisite and the people are the kindest, most present, most openhearted in the whole world. Now Im in the airport in Tokyo and you won't believe who I found!

If you need a reading list, get your pencils out and write these down.

Thank to you @docseuss.bsky.social for reminding us all of the previous confirmed kill when Joyce Carol Oates tactically assassinated Curtis Yarvin.

Does this mean we can replace Elon's name with "Pedo Guy" from now on?

Hard same

Indivisible gives us an alternative to the DNC: Indivisible2026.org I already knew my time and money was not going to the dnc in my future. Now I have something I can get behind, move over corporate dems, we have a new voice & they have already proven they speak for us! youtu.be/dtirAYhHZ2I?...

AOC for President.

It is a public service for the Public Good

Joyce Carol Oates: Demonstrating the Value of the Humanities through Public Ownership of the Richest Man on Earth

Hey, yo. Joyce Carol Oates is dragging tech boys by their hair over on that weirdo app.

We’re watching Joyce Carol Oates slowly torture a Boer to death in real-time

STOP CALLING THIS "IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT" THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE! NEWS OUTLETS, REVISE YOUR GUIDELINES!

O Captain! My Captain!

Why would any brit listen to Trump and his goons about anything?

Can’t wait for this news cycle

Researchers behind a new study say that the methods used to evaluate AI systems’ capabilities routinely oversell AI performance.

I think a lot about the leaked signal chat, in which it was clear that folks were claiming presidential backing without any evidence. That’s how our government is running. People lying that they’ve talked to the president.

Anyone feel like humming a tune?

jfc UNPLUG THE DAMN THING ALREADY

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

wtf

For real.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

"Don't pet the dogs you meet on trail," they said. "Seriously, Kelly, don't pet that dog," they said. "Hmm?" I said, as I totally pet that dog. #Nepal
