Here is Summers literally saying that his "best shot" at sleeping with a younger colleague is to leverage his status as an influential figure in the field. These people know exactly what they are doing.

Tesla "robotaxi" so safe even the safety driver can fall asleep. Maybe not. "Tesla Robotaxi in SF just over a week ago...safety driver...fell asleep at least three times...car's pay attention safety alert...woke him back up...reported [to]...support...never got a response." OP: reddit.ohmichael

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?” TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

Y'all we need to stand with our neighbors

he says the dance genre of sirba/hasapiko/kasap was associated with that trade & was played by Greek&Roma musicians to salute heavily armed Romanian ranchers on their entry to Istanbul with the cattle🥺 he traces a link between it and the klezmer bulgar dance & Israeli hora

another angle, the klezmer researcher Walter Zev Feldman has this whole transnational music theory he calls the Pastrami Trail about the connection between Greco-Turkish and Klezmer-Moldavian music dating back to the 1600s when the Ottomans imposed a cattle tribute from Moldavia to Istanbul

I don't think I ever realized we tried to take over Canada as part of the Revolutionary War. Too busy memorizing battle dates. (Thanks, Ken Burns and PBS.)

BREAKING: A Tennessee judge has temporarily blocked the governor’s National Guard deployment in Memphis, citing state law concerns over the legality of the operation #NOH8

asdfafd;lkn;asdkf why is this making me think of the scene in SHE'S ALL THAT when Freddie Prinze Jr does spoken word Hackey Sack poetry lmfao

It's not merely that somebody wrote this. Somebody edited it, someone else copy edited it, someone else double checked it. Many somebodies saw this combination of words and said - yup, run with it.

"CPB agrees to revive a $36 million deal with NPR [that it had earlier] killed after Trump's pressure"

Thank you to this American hero who solved the mystery Trump’s McDonald’s nonsense speech. Seriously, it would have driven me crazy

Its a fucking cult, guys

A powerful atmospheric river had mostly moved through California after causing at least six deaths and dousing much of the state, but lingering thunderstorms brought the risk of mudslides in areas of Los Angeles County that were recently ravaged by wildfire. https://to.pbs.org/4r6cNSc

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.

This video from survivors of Epstein (and his assorted ring of abusers) is gut-wrenching! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!! No more protecting of these degenerates, depraved deplorables, pedophiles, sexual exploiters of children, & their enablers!!!

“I want to have a future for Washington state where it’s not just a rich person’s playground,” Frame said. “I don’t want to be called the Cayman Islands of the United States.”

Ok, phew. 😮‍💨 No Christmas election in Canada, Mark Carney and the Liberals were able to pass the budget, with a yes vote by Elizabeth May and several abstentions. Final vote: 170-168 🇨🇦

good god

It’s an inkblot, testing how sincere of a person people think MTG is. Scuttlebutt on Capitol Hill is that this is revenge for Trump submarining her Senate ambitions, but if you believe she was radicalized online like a typical MAGA base voter, this is a reasonable theory.

An atheist, a priest, and a rabbit walk into a blood bank and they decide to donate blood to prove who is the most moral. The receptionist asks each one what their blood type is The atheist is A The priest is AB And the rabbit thinks for a moment and says "I think I'm a type o"

I live in Falls Church but have come down to see what’s happening in Roanoke every few months since the election. Beth Macy is one of my dearest friends, so I’m also here for her announcement party tomorrow as she throws her hat into the ring to represent Virginia’s 6th District in Congress.

Author Beth Macy returned to Urbana, Ohio to write a memoir about her hometown. She was shocked at the despair she found — and how little she knew. Her new book, “Paper Girl,” explores what happened. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/04/a...

Sir, this is a McDonald’s.

It would take 2/3 of the House (~290 votes) and Senate (67 votes) to override a veto. Usually, it would be nearly inconceivable for 20 Senate Republicans to support legislation opposed by Trump. But pressure is already building from many Epstein survivors and even from some conservative senators.

Some good news for your Monday. Remember this kid? A federal judge just ordered him to be released!

If you don’t pay a living wage we will do our part and cut SNAP

Every post is such a window on his psychology. The desperate need to be seen to be important speaks volumes about what shaped him.

Tis the season in #realSF

Watched again and the highlight may actually be her saying if Kat was nicer, she'd have called Trump to ask for lenience. Not great imo how fast people have learned "the president will pardon you if you suck up to him."

The New York Times has a deep-dive today into Trump’s weaponization of DOJ. It’s horrifying. Basically he has disabled the department except to go after people with brown skin and his enemies.

This Musking was all but inevitable, but it's great to see @teslatakedown.com and @amandamarzullo.bsky.social fighting back! If you're in Travis County, get involved!

While we're waiting for denouement of Comey GJ stuff, Tish James has filed egregious govt conduct challenge based on Bill Pulte's unlawful snooping into her. It largely serves as a vehicle to ask for reports on that which EDVA said they refused to share. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵
