I’m not which is worse that the sales person who cold called me did so on my personal number or that they did it based on info from a company that no longer exists and let me go over 10 years ago….. actually 11 years next week

I recently saw how tall/skinnies actually work for density. I thought my friend's place in Denver was like the places in Nash. Then I visited on the light rail, walked a few blocks and found it was in a block of 6-8 units w garages, where a single bungalow once stood. It suddenly made sense

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN And they are all Trump supporters "Liberal media" indeed

Abortions should be as easily accessable as a box of ammo.

school choice vouchers are just rebranded segregation public school funds shouldn’t go to private schools

they're just dabbing on us at this point

WATCH: “Are you f*cking kidding me, Bill & Marsha?” Kanew reacts to Tennessee Senators Senator Hagerty & @marshablackburn sneaking in a self-dealing provision to grab $500,000 (min.) from the government for being investigated in relation to Trump’s effort to undo 🇺🇸 democracy.

🔥 “I’ve never seen this level of grift” @RepMcGovern on the @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty self-dealing money grab, giving themselves MILLIONS for being investigated in connection with Trump’s attempt to undo our democracy.

FYI- Hagerty and Blackburn are on that list of 8- despicable!

NEW: Cybersecurity firm Deepwatch laid off around 80 people citing AI the reason. CEO John DiLullo said the company “is aligning our organization to accelerate our significant investments in AI.” A current employee said: “they’re doing something with AI and agentic AI but it sounds like bullshit.”

I need to find good weather resources for the Denver area, the apps do not cut it or even come close

No notes….nailed it 🎯

NEWS FLASH

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Why on earth would anybody think that Trump would abide by any deal that Senate Democrats could strike

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

They lie so brazenly. We need to bring shame back.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Ah yes, the weekend: a 2-day sprint to fix the chaos I ignored all week ☕🐦 #tiredbird #weekendvibes #relatableart #adultingishard #jessacreates #fblifestyle

Same. I hate being sick, I like being to do things and care for myself and my dogs. My excuse is usually I am allergic to everything and people do not seem to realize how much their sense of smell was damaged by COVID. So many strong perfumes and air fresheners everywhere now

Not that anyone here needs to hear this, but for the record, in a democracy "people voted differently from the way I expected or hoped" does not constitute evidence of fraud, no matter how many pretty charts and graphs of "voting patterns" you make.

I remember a story from years ago when one coworker saved another’s life on the interstate. Guy 1 was heading home and saw a coworker getting pulled over so he also pulled over because something told him to. Cop might have had his gun out but seemed agitated. Guy 1 managed to get cops attention….

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Curious if the ban on gender affirming care in Texas could be challenged under this new parental rights amendment. Fairly certain the hacks on the Supreme Court of Texas will carve out parents of trans youth but it's worth a shot.

Fuck this timeline, even this asshole’s wiki entry shows he is trash tennesseelookout.com/briefs/forme...

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

Once again found someone who didn’t understand why I’d be leaving TN. How many surveys do we need of hate laws and attacks to show that TN is not safe for $pickyournonwhiteCISHETmaleclass

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

All this blue and Dick Cheney, too?

Mamdani has won more votes than there are people in South Dakota.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

More excellent news!

Shoutout to the almond grower interviewed on the PBS News Hour who says her farm is over regulated and they are making water political.

Amazing. The man isn't even mayor yet but he's already solving our trash problems.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle. Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

What the actual?!?! I have had convos with bus drivers, once heard them have convos with regulars…. I’ve even heard them warn regulars if their normal bus might be cancelled tomorrow. Drivers don’t give a dam if we pay, as long as we treat everyone as real and human

this hurt

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Shower thoughts: Ever hear your neighbor having sex and feel sorry for the woman

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I grew up afraid of cops. Afraid they would lie and do anything to prove you were guilty. And constantly afraid of being shot or shot at. And now ICE is proving me right. This is my old neighborhood, I hope this man is alright and charges get thrown out Abolish ICE

Important note on voting in the TN 07 special election!! If you use an Apple device, your calendar may be telling you that Tuesday is Election Day. (My phone is.) The TN 07 special election is NOT Tuesday. Early voting begins Nov. 12. Tomorrow is the last day to register for the election.

Dammit

Bring this home Jays and we’ll get a World Series parade with no ICE.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Look, I know a lot of y'all hate going back to standard time, and I get it. But, genetically, the way I am wired means daylight time makes my chronic insomnia worse. I love the sunshine, but give me dark evenings all the way. Then I'm a happier, more well-adjusted person.

Don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight and reclaim what they’ve taken from you
