True

Curtis Yarvin is planning flee the country. Steve Bannon is worried about returning to prison. Don't listen to anyone who says the fascists have already won. The future is not yet written.

LOL AP calling CA Prop 50 passing *immediately* when the polls close.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Seems like the GOP is existentially cooked if the election is about Donald Trump but he’s not actually on the ballot, which *looks directly at camera* SUGGESTS A CERTAIN FOCUS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS

Imagine losing a primary election to someone and thinking, "No, it's just that my own party doesn't want me, but I'm sure the OTHER parties want me" and then running as an independent and then losing to the same guy you lost the primary to.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

(Unironically) looking forward to getting a Reliant-class explorer ship in #EliteDangerous when the Caspian Explorer releases next month. Yes, I know there's Star Trek Online if I want to play pretend Star Trek, but I like the new design!

I live in Wyoming, not NY, but I'm still counting down the hours until we find out that Cuomo lost to Mamdani a second time.

Okay, today's @chess.com daily puzzle was fantastic. Like, I can't imagine how a game would ever get to the starting position, but it was super fun to solve!

Boo! Ha ha I scared you! Happy Halloween!

Well. Clearly I have been doing Halloween ALL WRONG, and it might be time to try an old-fashioned 1920s-style Halloween.

That game ended just in time ... my Dish receiver just forced a reboot.

W-what...what are we all supposed to do now?

I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day this baseball game started.

Everyone’s phone in that stadium is at 3% or less

Okay I just had an idea for Halloween. I'm not going to do this, so feel free to take it. A pumpkin carved and decorated to look like Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis. Yes, that's right, it would be a Jackie O. Lantern. You're welcome.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Here is a Zillow listing for a pretty house in IL. That's not the point. The *point* is that in one of the pictures, they have a TV, and in the picture, that TV had a Jeopardy clue, and I got it right. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

When you're on a trip, it's shroomscrolling.

Forgot how much longer French fries take to cook in an oven than a steak does in a pan. Hm. The steak will be well rested?

An artillery shell fired during 250th anniversary celebration of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday detonated prematurely over Interstate 5, damaging a California Highway Patrol vehicle on JD Vance's security detail www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Brutal. A true leader would resign based on this alone.

I had a great time, though the highlight was actually when I was walking over with my American flag and a Trump supporter opened her car window to yell at me and she rear ended the guy in front of her.

The sudden appearance of all these Trump administration accounts on Bluesky is ominous. They're not here in good faith and they're not here to troll. They're setting something up. It likely has to do with a coming attack on Bluesky.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

TIL about the Phistomefel Ring and my brain is now melted trying to understand why it works.

I watched a YouTube video where the paid sponsor was a science magazine. The presenter said they had a code for an exclusive 15% discount. So... 1/

PADILLA: Do you believe govt officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not, yes or no? BONDI: I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump PADILLA: I asked a simple yes or no question

Showing up to work to avoid a shutdown is apparently a minimum threshold Republicans can’t be bothered to meet.

I want a variant on C-SPAN that shows the same content buy hypes it up like a global sporting event. Lights, fog machine, dramatic music swelling to a crescendo, pyrotechnics, all of it. 1/4

That was a pretty cool game, lots of back-and-forth action at the end! #Cowboys #Packers #NFL

Into OT! #Packers #Cowboys #NFL

I cannot believe Dallas just made that touchdown. Incredible. I really thought Green Bay had pulled out a victory. Still...40 seconds left? I guess it could flip again...maybe...

🙌

In the fall of 1939, fascists planned an invasion of Poland to extend their power through violence. Ah, typos, sorry. That should say "Portland" not "Poland" and "2025" not "1939".

My head canon: "Aughra" from "The Dark Crystal" and the "Junk Lady" from "Labyrinth" are related.

Hey, I don't think I know of anyone who really believes the Rapture will be over the next two days, but if I do since you won't be needing your cash anymore can you Venmo it to me? Just like all of it.

Summer fades.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

It’s deeply unfair to call today’s fascists “fascist” or “Nazis” just for doing bad things German Nazis did in the 1930s to advance their fascist project. And you better not say “fascism” or the fascists will come for you too!

I’m sticking with “assassination is bad” and add “if, as these charges suggest, you assassinated someone to fight hate, you absolutely condemned a bunch of other people to die as a natural consequence.”

IDK if we'll ever fully know the motivations behind the Kirk assassination. I doubt even the shooter himself fully knows. I think what we will find out is Robinson wasn't die-hard left OR right; likely he didn't have a consistent or even fully developed set of political beliefs.

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.
