I cannot emphasize enough that if you feel sad, donating money makes you feel better. Local food bank, diaper bank, mutual aid, a favorite charity, cancer research, or a local news site like @thecity.nyc; there are so many options. Money is the most efficient donation. Or sign up to volunteer.

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago: A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility. “Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

Over the last 2 weeks, #ignition has become much harder (as @carloswelch.bsky.social says the f-ing bots), so I finally made the switch to #ClubWPTGold (& used code THINK). Thanks for all the content to you and @thinkingpoker.bsky.social Back to #GTOWizard for some study

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Former student of mine is looking for live/deep-stacked PLO coaching, and I am not the person for that. Anyone have recommendations I could share with him?

Photo Essay: Thousands of Democracy Defenders Protest Trump at #NoKings Rallies Throughout Bucks County | Doylestown, Morrisville, Perkasie and New Hope were among the locations where local residents protested Saturday because they love their country.

I try not to make too many predictions given how laughably wrong I've been about so many things! but my money is on seeing a big shift in the direction of bold and explicit uncooperativeness from elites, now that they have proof of the political temperature beyond polls

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Gig Harbor, WA. 12k population. At least 4500 at today’s joyful protest

Hello Missoula!!!

No Kings Augusta, Maine October 18, 2025

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Currently working on a GTO Wizard article that includes a section titled "Exploiting With Large Probes" and I can't help thinking we are going to disappoint some people searching for those terms.

Final episode of the WTF Podcast was just released. I started listening to it in 2012, when we were just starting Thinking Poker and I was looking for good interviewers to learn from. I had a list of people but I started with Marc Maron and was immediately hooked.

Well this is unpleasant. But it features a cameo from @thebenku.bsky.social Twitter account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ20...

Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

Great short video by TransLink explaining “the empty bus lane myth”

Hello everyone! I am working on a story for The Guardian about how Chicagoans are preparing for the possible arrival of federal troops, following President Trump's statements on the matter. Right now, I'm looking for residents, community organizers, business owners, and other folks to talk to!

I started saying "Oh heavens" as joke when something startled me but I said it often enough that it became a habit and now I am just a guy who says "Oh heavens" when he's startled.
