Hockey coach admits he's been asking improv comedy group for advice after his team became the worst in the league

Can he immediately become, like, a Jimmy Johns spokesman or does that violate some kind of Son of Sandwich law?

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point: www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

Scam compounds rely on slave labor to do the scams - six figures of trafficked people in Myanmar alone. The scams are the outward-facing crime, but not necessarily to most egregious one.

Five members of the Bai crime family were sentenced to death this week in China for their role in Myanmar scam compounds www.spp.gov.cn/spp/zdgz/202... 11 Ming crime family members were sentenced to death in Sep. www.spp.gov.cn/spp/zdgz/202...

Squad goals!

Oh this is so cool. Jared Verse is such a hype man for his teammates. The little nod he gives before Stafford throws the ball like it's automatic. He's gonna be a good captain someday.

Sleepy crooked? His neck must be killing him.

There is and was only one Curtis Lemay and one Thomas power Jr. So why is every Hollywood portrayal of the SAC/STRATCOM commander the same: a man deep in Nebraska who is ready to initiate Armageddon at a moments notice without deliberation or hesitation? I explore in my latest⬇️

Thinking more about this piece—it’s not just that Mamdani spoke to the educated (upper) middle class that no longer has a sense of security. It’s that this group, who may once have ended up as moderate Republicans, has realized that anyone who has to work to live IS the working class

The only dining facility at the Army base in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, has closed due to a lack of funding. #Flashes

I did not write the headline, but I have an op ed on Prop 50 over at the @sfchronicle.com. Shorter version: the nationalization and polarization of our politics is what got us here, and it's also the most likely way out. It will take national partisan Democratic hardball to enact anti-hardball.

Side note: Is the Statue of Liberty technically a kaiju?

HEY. HEY YOU GUYS. IT'S AN ACADEMIC PAPER ON RANSOMWARE BY A GUY NAMED CONTI.

I thought I'd see more comparisons of a downtrodden Jets blowing everything up to start anew and New York going with the optimistic youngster with the new outlook.

Also, turnout. It’s not necessarily about explaining the D vs R coalitions. Those are probably mostly baked in. It’s about who showed/shows up to vote in 2024 vs 2025 and why.

Grocery stores do not, in fact, require ID to enter or make purchases.

There are a bunch of people responding to this sentiment with things like “How can other people not know what we were getting with Trump if I knew what we were getting with Trump?”

"... the best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it." @gelliottmorris.com

A reminder that @chadkoh.com did a step-by-step write up of how you can join the ATProto #IETF124 BoF session at 9:30am EST this morning remotely. No cost registration.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT: Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board. For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

Crowdstrike claims Scattered Spider planned to have accomplices physically travel to target company offices to connect to WiFi and enable access to target networks. www.theregister.com/2025/11/04/c...

I wonder if CBS will interview San Brown about the democratic sweep.

Damn... this one is rough.

You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City

It's annoying to keep having to point this out, but the actual DNC has been behind Mamdani ever since he won the primary, which you wouldn't know by reading some posts on here.

In case any other trans folks need to hear this:

New Era has a Legends of the Hidden Temple store. www.neweracap.com/collections/...

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

SCOOP: Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has publicly released an app that Sheriff Offices, police departments, and other local or regional law enforcement can use to scan someone’s face as part of immigration enforcement, 404 Media has learned.

Happy Morris Worm Day to those who celebrate

Periodic reminder that the guy from Primitive Radio Gods was an air traffic controller, and probably is probably not getting paid right now. He's standing outside a broken phone booth with no money in his hand.

Jets' passing game catching strays everywhere, man.

Aaron Sorkin, get to your typewriter.

On election day, I wanna announce that I am recruiting social psych PhD students for my lab at UIC. My lab focuses on racial identities (esp Asian, Latino, MENA Americans) and intra-minority conflict/ coalition. So please tell your students to pick me! All details on my website: www.pbandjlab.com

[Werner Herzog voice] Actually, the McRib never goes away. It is we who are here for a limited time.

The president says he will defy court orders and illegally withhold SNAP benefits despite there being money in the SNAP contingency fund that the Trump is required to use.

Trump claims California’s redistricting vote today is “under very serious legal and criminal review.”

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Defense wants gag gifts provided to the officer after the incident included in discovery. One is a plushie sandwich and another is a patch that says, if I heard correctly, “Felony Footlong.” Sounds like we won’t end up seeing these physically but will hear them described.

Hey there Delilah What's it like in the antique land Do two legs vast and trunkless In the desert wastes yet still stand All alone With this message carved in stone: "I'm not owned"

Polls are open in Pennsylvania go vote? I meant that to be an exclamation point but i’ll leave it.

When the inventor of Pringles died, they buried him in a pringles can. Just saying.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

a bit more on $ANON, kirts involvement and his renewed arrest here:

a second $ANON (kirtaners crypto scam) developer has been raided by feds and is now boasting about potentially becoming an informant in the public $ANON discord. lol.

Good morning but only to election workers and volunteers.
