1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

46 years ago today "Entertainment!" is the debut album by the English post-punk band Gang of Four, released on this day in 1979 on EMI Records internationally and Warner Bros. Records in North America. #punkrock #postpunk #postpunkmusic #gangoffour #punkrockhistory #history #otd

The seven liquor bottles you meet in heaven

Something I have learned from all of this: at some point, if every personality trait, every incompetent decision, every divisive utterance is awful, pettiness doesn't even register.

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

I'm not sure what's going on, but this year's freshman class is giving me ... what was that word ... hope? They're energized and excited, they're doing the reading and doing it well, they're asking great questions and offering smart answers too. Is this just me or are others seeing it?

I'm sure if a Democratic elected official mandated that a left-wing organization had to be given access to all of a state's public schools, they would be completely fine with it and would never ever call it "grooming" or "indoctrination" or anything.

Beat me to it. But yep!

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

We shall see if one of the most unpopular presidents in American history who is presiding over an economy he’s trying to wreck and the poisoning of our diplomatic relations can consolidate a dictatorship. I’m pretty skeptical he has the juice, especially in his decayed state.

Been saying for a whole decade, the message needs to be: Vaccines don't cause Autisticness, and also Autistic people don't need to be prevented.

Every remotely good thing I post includes a glaring typo to remind me of my station.

Why did I just see an audiobook about a woman f—king the Kool-Aid man. And no Quan Millz isn’t at the scene of the crime

Whoa

Worth noting that 4 days ago, when Tucker Carlson co-hosted the Charlie Kirk Show with Blake Neff (his former staffer fired by Fox for being a white nationalist) and Pizzagate Jack Posobiec, Weird Mike Cernovich (featured below) was also there for a pre-show photo op with the guyz.

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhQ...

"You miss a great deal, so many really, almost every one of the shots you don't take."

I love how Trump refers to the hat as though it’s an impressive and credible source of information—but it’s a hat.

Came here to point to Milo! Somehow, I’ve never seen them live, but I visited one of his colleagues in a clinical pathology lab….

Came here to talk about Dexter Holland. Did not know about Milo until now

So you're a scientist about to face a government shutdown? Have you considered becoming a rock star? It's easy AND profitable! 🎸🧪 Let's list off five scientists who turned rockers:

Nazis need to be punched.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Trans rights are human rights. A country that can strip rights from trans people can strip them from anyone.

This is why I don't think it's worth trying to negotiate or compromise with Trump supporters. They are willing to abandon any and all principles and their identity to support even his worst impulses.

why did secret service allow the president to get stuck on an escalator??

Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

Ryan Routh, mentally disturbed, now convicted of the attempted assassination of Trump, was a 2016 MAGA voter. MAGA wants so badly for a competent moderate lefty (preferably a uni professor) to get killed trying to assassinate Trump. Their own would do the deed long before that.

This should play well with all the Virginians he personally laid off from the federal workforce.

He. Is. Insane.

There. Is. No. Autism. Problem. Autism has always been with us! But autistic people were just called weird, savants or other things for most of history, before we learned how to diagnose it (and we're still learning!).

He agrees with whoever he talked to last. At least for a few minutes before he reverts to previous biases.

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

Donald Trump is an authoritarian. And Brendan Carr must resign.

Any country that can reelect a criminal insurrectionist foreign agent before it can convict him is totally fucked.

A Republican manufacturer running for governor in Wisconsin as a conservative supporter of "family values" and President Donald Trump followed numerous sexually explicit accounts online, including a nonbinary pornography performer, AP reports.
