How nice that the first time my kids saw footage of the Twin Towers on fire was thanks to a Cuomo ad during the World Series.

New Yorkers, you understand the assignment. Give Mamdani exactly what the WSJ fears: more than 50% of the vote and a mandate to tax the leeches they have been stanning for generations. www.wsj.com/opinion/new-...

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Apparently the candidate with an approval rating 10 points better than Cuomo is “polarizing”. Politico quotes only Mamdani opponents in this “balanced” piece and claims that he’s the one who’s divisive despite not quoting a single “divisive” Mamdani remark. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

wake up babe, a new way of saying "we just put 14,000 people out of a job" just dropped

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

This is going to throw gasoline on the fire

According to MLB GameDay 3D, Blue Jay hitter Ty France doing the Dodgers a solid by catching warmup pitches for their relief pitcher. He didn’t even bother to put down his bat!

In which top GM top management declares that the customer is wrong, that we shouldn’t want CarPlay or Android Auto and we should want ChatGPT and interfaces that will be outdated long before the car is. TLDR? Don’t buy GM. www.theverge.com/podcast/8033...

As Governor, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will protect New Jerseyans’ fundamental freedoms, including voting rights, workers’ rights and reproductive rights. Her opponent will do none of these things. The choice is clear in this consequential election. Mikie stands with the people. Vote for Mikie!

Palate cleanser, an American White Ibis. #birds #photography Thank you for your attention. You may now return to your doomscroll.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

it’s an innovative new strategy called irreparable harm and it’s the one weird trick judges just can’t beat

In a break from domestic politics, Jamaica is now facing up to 40” of rain followed by a Category 5 direct hit. They are going to need a lot of help and I doubt the US admin will lift a finger. open.substack.com/pub/theeyewa...

Democrats should just start rolling out ad after ad of Reagan voiceovers.

Chait with another hot take showing that he, alone, knows what to do? Must be a day ending in Y. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Your moment of zen. A snowy egret in the quiet between waves.

Although I agree with almost nothing he said, Reagan was a powerful orator, both in prepared speeches and ad lobbing on the spot. Even with diminished capacity at the end, he could have wiped the floor with Trump.

$40 billion dollars for Argentina $0 dollars for desperately hungry Americans www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Article makes no mention of the NYT endorsement of Bondi as qualified for AG. Crushing Justice Dept independence was Trump’s first and most important victory. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Where’s the “games should cost $100” guy, again? kotaku.com/escape-from-...

Marvel Cover of the Day If you see this, post a Marvel Cover you love.

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

Congrats workers on your new hell zone

Taylor shows she doesn’t understand statistics. Contrary to her claims, NOT SIGNIFICANT means you can draw no conclusions about the impact of social media use on children whose parents do t abuse drugs or alcohol. Sorry for the screenshot the “journalist” allows neither replies nor quote posts.

The East Wing Desecrators Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this. In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info. 🧵

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it. @eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome. My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

Billboard headline writers prove their journalistic superiority to NYT, AP and USA Today. See, not hard to accurately say what happened. www.billboard.com/music/music-...

WSJ engages in laughable minimization of what “boundary pushing” on the Internet is. IRL Twitter hot take artists are more likely to say Hitler was right or that black peoples shouldn’t be allowed to vote (among the tamer takes).

The West Wing is now just the Wing.

Gee, the racist with a self-admitted Nazi streak doesn’t have enough GOP votes. And what’s with all these 30 year olds in top offices?

Gee, you don’t think there could be any reason besides prices why attendance would be way down? Immigration enforcement changes not even mentioned in article. www.statesman.com/news/article...

It’s TACO TUESDAY!!! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

There’s lots of skull and bones tattoos that aren’t Nazi iconography

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered. levernews.com/book

They’ll do to the Army what they did to everything they have ever touched. But think of the money to be made! www.ft.com/content/0e92...

It’s almost as if there’s a common factor in almost all the states that experienced large outbreaks.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

ACECO doesn't list the White House on their projects page but it's their logo on the excavator. Surely they would welcome some local feedback on their choices. 3/ acecoworld.com/projects/

This is about Trump talking about penis size, but I recommend that everyone take the opportunity to tell the [email protected] exactly what you think about coverage of No Kings, the poop video, Mamdani and and any other issues. Copy email address and do it now. Tell him how you feel.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them techcrunch.com/2025/10/19/o...

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

New rule. Anyone who tells me to “smash” the like button is blocked. Leave that crap for Mr Beast and his YouTube pals.

If only someone had warned that this might happen…
