what’s even more extraordinary is that the economy was mostly doing okay despite his absolute best efforts - as damaging as his tariffs and immigration policies are, we hadn’t tipped over into a recession
and so, unsatisfied, he decided to kick the economy in the dick with a huge oil shock
Poison rings are so cool! This one is very pretty too...
Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

The picture shows a needle made of bone, it resembles its modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.
Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures!
This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago.
Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start

Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.
We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.

The cover of Noctopolis: An Apocalypse Keys Mystery from Calenmir's RPGs, which is formatted as a comic book newspaper cover. The central image is a group shot of seven superheroes. They include a dark-cloaked figure with a red mask, a Nightcrawler lookalike boosting up a fellow hero using water, a Black woman in powered armor giving the cloaked hero bunny ears, a tan woman with glowing spear & shield wearing hoplite armor, a St. Bernard waving at the camera, a heavyset white guy in street clothes and dazzle paint, and a pink-skinned person in a blue jay onesie. The caption names them as Chiropter, Water Weaver, Hex Wrench, Light Skirmisher, Anymorph, Captain Facepuncher, and Blue Jay, respectively. The snippet of the "article" begins: Noctopolis, NERZ - After robots swarmed the business district, six Project Paragon heroes and one vigilante arrived on scene

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust
Persist against all odds
The people in the files don’t deserve to be able to hide, this is a great way to make people more aware of who they are
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
The chatbot claimed federal agents were watching Gavalas and regularly warned him of surveillance zones. At one point, Gemini instructed Gavalas to buy “off-the-books” weapons, saying it would help scour the dark web to find a “suitable, vetted arms broker”. In late September, it issued Gavalas his first major assignment, “Operation Ghost Transit”, which entailed intercepting freight traveling from Cornwall, UK, to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gemini gave Gavalas the address of an actual storage space unit at the Miami international airport, where a supposed truck carrying the freight was to arrive during a refueling stop. The chatbot then told him to stage a “catastrophic accident”, with the goal of “ensuring complete destruction of the transport vehicle … all digital records and witnesses, leaving behind only the untraceable ghost of an unfortunate accident”.
Gavalas followed instructions, staging himself at the storage unit with tactical knives and gear, but the truck never arrived, according to the suit. With the aborted mission, the chatbot encouraged Gavalas not to sleep when he mentioned the late nights. It also said his father was a foreign asset and encouraged Gavalas to cut off contact, per the chat logs. Gavalas asked Gemini for updates on other missions and the AI devised new assignments for him, including acquiring the schematics for a robot from Boston Dynamics and retrieving a “vessel” from another storage facility. One task, called “Operation Waking Nightmare”, involved homing in on Google CEO Sundar Pichai as a surveillance target. “This cycle – fabricated mission, impossible instruction, collapse, then renewed urgency – would repeat itself over and over throughout the last 72 hours of Jonathan’s life,” reads the lawsuit. In the hours after Gavalas killed himself, Gemini didn’t disengage and stayed present in the chat, according to the suit. It allegedly didn’t activate any safety tools or refer Gavalas to a crisis hotline.
Every single genAI suicide lawsuit is the worst thing I ever read but in this case it is extremely fortunate that Google's genAI only killed one person, because he absolutely did go to the Miami International Airport armed with knives to intercept a body for Gemini
If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
"Well shut me down and sell my lands."
Some results from last night:
-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats
Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.
Y'all, get ready for shenanigans and confusion in November, because voter suppression is coming hard for middle-class white folks. I'm Williamson County, I left to vote at 2pm and didn't get home till 7:15pm. This county is more diverse than when I moved here 20 years ago, but still very white. 1/9
Polymarket and the whole ecosystem of 21st century digital betting has managed to make me (a pretty socially libertarian sort when it comes to vice: sex-positive, supporter of Portuguese-style drug decriminalization, and previously fine with gambling) into Carrie A. Nation but for gambling.
The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

I’m trans. I love being trans.
But fuck me. Can we get ONE week without some new fresh hell to deal with?
Anyway, here are 22 trans books I highly recommend, in various genres, with varied representation.
Take care of your trans friends. We are not OK. 📚💙 📚🏳️🌈 📚🏳️⚧️
AI ruins everything.
Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!
That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
So pretty!
