If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

You should get paid overtime when you dream about work. They already steal most of your waking hours, how dare they infringe on your sleeping ones?

Well this is very nice. Thank you @alexfalcone.bsky.social

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

I would read the hell out of a deeply reported piece on how the media/political elite addiction to Twitter is shaping their views, which in turn shape the views of millions of people. It's a total reality-warper.

Yet one more example of an industry impacted by climate change: England's hottest summer on record produced unusually sweet apples, which bumped up the alcohol content of scrumpy (hard cider). Now, it's classified as “wine”...taxed at a higher rate...and too expensive for producers to sell to pubs.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

OK, so those fireworks tonight. From the Coast Guard Maritime Safety Information site: "Pyrotecnico Fireworks is hosting the J.P. Morgan Chase Fireworks off Long Wharf, Boston Inner Harbor on October 27, 2025." www.navcen.uscg.gov/msi Via Boston Reddit www.reddit.com/r/boston/com...

Muslims are 1-2% of U.S. population. If that’s a “takeover” it’s the weakest one imaginable. Off the charts projection from Christian nationalists who want prayer in schools, mix religion & state, & have Govt based on Christianity rather than the Constitution. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

really did not expect to hearing about nazis all the time in 2025 was just not something i considered tbh

“Friends, I received more than 400 submissions for the Oct. 18th “No Kings” Protest Sign Contest, and I have rarely agonized this much when considering the creativity of others.”

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Civil liberties are under attack in the USA like never before. It’s scary, it’s real — and that’s why I hope to raise $100,000 this week to empower the American Civil Liberties Union (@aclu.org). But I’ll need your help. 🧵

Not sure why this image is so shocking, given everything he’s done but: it’s shocking! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis: How AI turned the Boston Common ‘No Kings' protest into fake news Social media exploded Saturday with claims that MSNBC had aired "recycled footage" from 2017 as video from the Boston "No Kings" protest. But it turned out the footage was real. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/a...

Massive amount of far-right/fake-left troll accounts hitting bsky in the last week in a coordinated rage-farming campaign. Engage rarely, block often.

What if AWS US-EAST-1 was just sleepy and wanted a nap tho

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Jenner, Saulnier to take their places among Big Red's greats.

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously. Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them. (thread)

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

The owner of Twitter just reinstated the accounts of several Nazi who had been suspending for violating Twitter's rules about doxxing other users. Now here's another piece on Bluesky's intellectual diversity problem.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile starts... now.

Thread: A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.
