I accidentally went to the Black Friday sales because I had an hour to kill in Manhattan and need clothes. Got some bargains but also a lot of stress.

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

Wow we nearly got a Doctor Who game made by Inkle! frvr.com/blog/an-awes...

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help. We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

So glad the PA judges got retained! Gives me confidence for the midterms next year!

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

These Dallas Residents Are on the Front Lines of Trump’s War Against “Antifa"

Thanks to someone on BlueSky (I forget who) for recommending Disco Elysium, I played it obsessively this month. An absolutely delightful game, and the closest thing to recapturing the magic of Planescape: Torment I've ever seen. Next maybe Rogue Trader or Pathfinder.

So with Sinema, Fetterman and now Platner should we get paranoid and assume there is some organized Republican plan to put ringers in office as Democrats which then turn right-wing once safely in office? It seems to be happening too much to be a coincidence.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

Be there. Saturday, October 18th. www.nokings.org

It’s bonkers. Like say what you will about Andrew Carnegie but after getting wealthy beyond compare he built libraries. Thiel and Musk and Ellison have been like “what if we restored the third reich? what if I became Big Brother? what if we ushered in an age of superstition, wouldn’t that be neat”

I love the way that No Kings is No Tyrants in countries with actual kings. Awkward …

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Kind of think it makes it worse? It makes it much worse! These are people who have the least ability to stand up for their rights. "When you do this to the least of these, you do it to me." -Jesus

Airports should have little free libraries. Bring a book to read on the plane, finish it, and leave it in the airport little free library for people departing from that airport to take with them.

Trump thinks he’s a king. Forcing a government shutdown because you don’t get your way has nothing to do with democracy — it’s autocracy. Join us to make it clear that there are still NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Nigel Farage wants to drag Britain down the same road as Trump’s America: chaos, division and fear. Our NHS, our rights and our communities are at risk. Do not let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.
