JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Didn’t Brian Idalski used to have a mustache?

Icymi: A week before Thanksgiving, the Trump administration deleted the Federal Report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women The ‘Not One More’ report recorded indigenous deaths and disappearances, and provided resources and policy suggestions to address the crisis www.jezebel.com/trump-admin-...

The people behind Franklin the Turtle have spoken out against Hegseth's use of the character in his post. I hope they sue him.

Question for #BakeSky: any pointers for making 7-layer/🌈 cookies (recipe from CSaffitz or @smittenkitchen.bsky.social, haven’t decided which yet) ahead and bringing them on a ✈️? Should I keep as a slab or cut ahead of time & wrap together? How far ahead can I make them? Do they freeze well?

Thanksgiving Eve, morning and afternoon.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

I think it’s great that our media elites have decided that men in their 30s saluting Hitler are just rambunctious kids who got carried away, while 16-year old girls being trafficked and raped by billionaires are “underage women” making informed choices. Definitely reflects well on us as a society.

Hey hey! I’m back in print at @theicegarden.bsky.social with this year’s D3 preview! www.theicegarden.com/the-state-of...

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This should not be a controversial statement but if it’s Hitler (D) versus Trump (R) you vote third party and I DO NOT FUCKING CARE what you say about chances and throwing your vote away, you do not cast a vote for either of them.

Everybody was distracted with Epstein and Trump tore down the White House.

Feeling helpless? Here are 4 things you can do: 1️⃣Vote in Nov 4 local elections. Early voting is now 2️⃣Call elected and tell them to hold the line.

the most popular smartphone maker in history literally had to stop using "AI" because it would constantly just make things up and had zero contextual "understanding" of what it was doing

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...

@sbregman87.bsky.social I listened to the Jakarta Worlds preview podcast from Olympics.com and was a bit surprised there was no mention of the Israeli athletes being denied visas. Any reason why, since that’s a major storyline of Worlds, especially with respect to men’s floor?

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of everyone who is struggling right now. If the world feels heavy, know that you don't carry its weight alone. If all you do today is exist, it's ok. You are loved. You matter. Your mental health matters. And I'm so grateful you're here.

Stephen Miller was in my college cohort and I regret not bullying him to my full potential. This dude threw a 2 year tantrum over being asked to sign a thank you card for the dorm housekeeping staff.
