Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Frey: I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis

Geezuz! They’re kidnapping ppl N the US, trying 2 extort blue states, openly excepting bribes, kidnapping a leader of another country N their own country, ignoring Epstein, AND threatening Greenland/Denmark &more! I expected this frm Schumer &Jeffries but is this what most Dem reps are going with?

This is your message after Donald Trump invaded and kidnapped a sovereign leader of another country? You and Jeffries should step down

Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom • Nov 1 Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party while SNAP benefits were about to disappear for 42 million Americans. He does not give a damn about you. Scene from an opulent dinner party with people in flapper outfits dining at large round top tables being served by formal waiters and waitresses with silver trays with champagne and plates of expensive food.

THE AUTHOR'S EDITION INTRODUCTION BY JESMYN WARD The GREAT GATSBY 100TH ANNIVERSARY F SCOTT FITZGERALD Jacket cover of a literary classic book by F Scott Fitzgerald. It shows a blue backdrop with a woman’s large blue eyes and red pursed lips above a nighttime scene of an explosion at a roadside gas station.

The Great Gatsby's themes of moral decay and the American Dream are deeply intertwined; the pursuit of a corrupted American Dream leads to the moral decay of the 1920s elite.

Print of a cartoon by Stephen Collins. Script as follows: [Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking] 1 SOCRATES: Plato.. PLATO: Yes Socrates? 2 SOCRATES: Can you tell me, are you human? PLATO: Why… yes, Socrates 3 SOCRATES: And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is? PLATO: Um, yep 4 SOCRATES: So you can tell me, then 5 [Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel] SOCRATES: *Is that a chariot*? 6 PLATO: Well that’s more just a bit of wheel 7 SOCRATES: So not a *chariot*. PLATO: No. 8 SOCRATES: [Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes] So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*? 9 PLATO: Well you can’t tap any of them really 10 SOCRATES: So are we not human? PLATO: ‘Spose not. 11 [Bleak pause] 12 PLATO: I’ll get the hemlock SOCRATES: Yeah [ends]

Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He’s Building In a Tesla earnings call Wednesday, the world’s richest man pondered the future of his company’s Optimus robots—and his control over them.

ELON MUSK: “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.” Read the full piece from @aarianmarshall.bsky.social on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Maybe Tesla should be focusing on actual AI/AGI first? Also what happened to Mars?

Yes, we were wrong to do that

I’d watch that
