I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This week, filmmaker John Moore unearths a ton of gems from Austin public access TV, including an alien invasion movie, a call-in joke hotline, and a Carmen Miranda drag show. Joe & Nick trot out some deep cuts from the world of cable access, a video store screener for Road House, and news bloopers!

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." www.reddit.com/r/JewsOfCons...

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

New feature is up: The Cameras Tracking You Are A Security Nightmare youtu.be/uB0gr7Fh6lY

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

republicans believe poor people deserve to suffer because they're lazy and weak, whereas the democrats have a much lengthier explanation

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

I'm legit astonished that 20,000 documents from the Epstein Files were made public, one outlet even made it searchable to the public, and it still hasn't shown up on Bluesky's trending topics. Are we so siloed that things can just be buried in plain site now? couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

They’re calling her Megyn R. Kelly on TikTok

this is literally never not accurate

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

So-called "Centrism" does not work.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

“Last night’s elections also poured cold water on the tired argument among elite Democratic strategists that the party needs to seek out the moderate middle to win…All three major winners last night ran campaigns relentlessly focused on affordability.”

The 'Moderate' slate championed by Jacobs was massacred on a night when the rest of the party across the country had its best election in generations. We need to purge the whole of the NY Dems operation.

An unfortunate amount of centrist Dems will refuse to see that the public clearly prefers Democratic politicians who promise to fight for them. And that the only reasonable way to fight the far-right is from the left; to actually stand on your convictions, not to try and meet the fascists halfway.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

rip in advance to Scott "Mr Dilbert" Adams who is perhaps most famous for writing a now-deleted four part blog post where he attempted to hypnotize his readers into nutting and asked them to email him after they have nutted to tell him about the nut. www.tumblr.com/manlethotlin...

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

😕🇺🇸

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

It's kind of wild that crypto scammers became *the single biggest source of political donations* in the last US election and barely anyone even noticed. These dipshits basically own both parties now and are getting whatever they want and there's been zero (0) public deliberation or debate about it.

Yet again, a post goes viral and I get DMs from people going "I had you blocked, but I've never interacted with you? How is that possible?" people stop using insane block lists, they are universally made by people enacting petty grievances lol. Any sane person does not do that much work.

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Fuck, Excedrin has Tylenol in it. What are these morons about to do to Excedrin?

This matters a lot more than his tweets.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

lol Rest In Piss, brother

Millennials and Gen Z think Super Mario Bros. is pronounced like Super Mario Brose instead of Super Mario Brothers. Same goes for Warner Bros. I'm not complaining or whatever, I think it's cute.

The goal is to get people so desperate that they'll work for nothing and never retire. The GOP knows how many people will be hurt, that's the plan.

It’s wild how people can see everything collapsing around them and still think the problem is that we just haven’t found the right president yet.

This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game. He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

Bill Kristol watching the news and fighting with his reflection like the Green Goblin

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Millions upon millions of Americans demonstrating on the streets today. The national Democratic Party will seize on the energy by calling for increased police funding and more military aid to Israel.

The idea that this political violence is the consequence of people on both sides cheering it on seems like a sympathetic point but just doesn’t hold up to history. In my adult life, I’ve seen people on the right do everything from kill politicians to kill regular citizens, and it’s shrugged off.

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable
