Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Presented without comment, the current scene outside Union Station in DC as I got off the train.

“This immigration issue is a remnant of Subu’s original case. Since that wrongful conviction has now been officially vacated and all charges against Subu have been dismissed, we have asked the immigration court to reopen the case and consider the fact that Subu has been exonerated.”

The silver lining for MAGA of the failed 2020/21 coup was that it revealed all the points in the system that prevented them from succeeding, and they and their allies have spent the last 5 years slowly buying, winning, or destroying each and every one of them

To Hong Kong where the impact of the film censorship laws implemented in 2021 can be seen. 13 films have been barred on national security ground (of 15 barred) vs zero under old rules and 104 required cuts to be allowed to be shown. Grim. 12/

To Thailand two pieces highlight Thai state complicity in transnational repression. One about Chinese political exile Zhou Junyi & Tan Yixiang a Uyghur/Tibetian advocate: hongkongfp.com/2025/10/07/c... Also a Australian was arrested on the behest of Malaysian gov't. Really worrying cases. 13/

Doing comms work for billionaires slowly melting their brains must be quite a job.

The only logical next step for them is to get a bouncy castle as their insurgency headquarters

This is awesome.

In just one day, @thebulwark.com posted pieces on both Charles Beaumont and Ramsey Campbell. I didn’t think that would be the publication that gave me my day’s readings in the uncanny, but color me pleasantly surprised. @fangoria.bsky.social and @ruemorguemag.bsky.social better watch their backs.

An executive who cannot be removed but whose power is fenced in is one thing. An invulnerable executive whose power has expanded to encompass nearly all of daily life begins to look like a monarch with a defined term. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-this-wh...

Did you know that Hong Kong stunt performers got the idea to use cardboard boxes to break falls from... the French?! 😳 I did not.

Amazon has sold out of frog suits. Portland pivots to Yoshi instead.

Breaking: MIT just became the first university to reject an agreement that would trade support for the Trump admin's higher education agenda in exchange for favorable treatment. "Fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

The resistance will be televised... On the cartoon network?

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

It's so bonkers that the wealthiest country in the world just shut down its govt every few years for entirely political reasons and essential workers are forced to work without pay and everyone just accepts that's something that happens

Second last episode of WTF with Marc Maron. It's been a real journey. www.wtfpod.com/podcast/epis...

Josh Safdie’s #MartySupreme makes UNCUT GEMS look like it’s for kiddos. Pure energy. It’s an exhilarating live-wire. Timothée Chalamet is phenomenal as the cocky, fast-talking antihero who just can’t get out of his own way. Gwyneth Paltrow is sublime. Fantastic anachronistic soundtrack & score. 1/2

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

“She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her.” I mean that’s all there is to it, really
