Budget day was busy but this story about dark money using influencers to manipulate Gen Z voters on oil & gas shouldn't get lost. We need far more regulation of this. “We’re multiple steps down the spending chain before we actually get to ‘Oh, influencers were being used.’” #BCpoli #CdnPoli

NEW: Canada's oil and gas industry is using a network of Gen Z social media accounts to influence voters and overcome resistance to the new projects in BC. Thanks to @abde.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2026/11/04/i...

The decision to halt production of Tesla’s polarizing polygonal pickup marks the end of an error.

S&P down 4.2% today doesn't even include SpaceX.

I've been working on a map of all pedestrian and cyclist deaths and major injuries on Toronto's streets, drawing on the city's Open Data portal. It's at the point where I'm ready to share the work done so far. seanmarshall.ca/2026/11/05/t...

Three years of injury and death on Toronto’s streets

Memorial to a pedestrian killed at Annette Street and Pacific Avenue, October 2024 With the support of Walk Toronto, I have created a map of all serious injuries and deaths suffered by pedestrians …

Premier Doug Ford warns there will be no new deal from the cash-strapped province to bail out the City of Toronto. Ford’s comments came days after Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy revealed the provincial deficit had jumped 22.5 per cent to $16.9 billion.

fuck, a truly blue texas?!? that is an electoral apocalypse for the republican party. hell we might get a constitutional amendment ending the electoral college out of it

I know everybody is understandably focused on the US Senate, but it looks to me like more than 75% of Americans will reside in states with Democratic governors, which seems like a very very big deal too.

Regime change has arrived in Texas before Tehran.

There’s really only one thing Trump can do if he truly wants to win the media cycle tonight.

I traveled to Alabama to report on Shomari Figures campaign and saw the post-Callais backlash firsthand. Incredible organizing by Black voters to counteract the Roberts Court's attempt to bring back Jim Crow www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act is mobilizing Black voters. Just look at Alabama.

Shomari Figures' race is a test case of how big the backlash to the Callais decision will be.

In a healthy democracy every election is actually supposed to feel like biting down on the exposed wire of a plugged-in waffle iron, it’s fine, everything is just great

Just choked up seeing this. 💗

From Houston Chronicle: The son of a man killed by ICE put his “I voted” sticker on his dad’s memorial. “He posted it on social media. Now, there are so many other stickers that he can’t say for certain which was his.” People are also writing messages like, “today I voted. I was brave for you.”

These guys are beyond parody

Faced with a potential blue wave in this week's midterm elections, the most internet-poisoned MAGA influencers have begin identifying with Anakin Skywalker, a genocidal archvillain from a space opera. And some of them actually seem to think it could turn the tide.

The only reason this hasn't happened to date is Iran's proximity to Russia and the Gulf states that keep Trump and his family in business.

Naomi Klein@naomiaklein.bsky.social · 4d ago

Terrifying rumors are swirling about Israel pressuring Trump to launch a nuclear strike on Iran immediately after the midterms or some other major escalation. I wish I was sure that this was too unhinged to take seriously, but we do not live in sane times where these kinds of dismissals are possible

There it is baby. The good stuff.

Articles exactly like this were published in 2024 and 2020 and 2018 and 2016 and 2014 and 2012 and 2010 and 2008. Republicans constantly claim that there is about to be a giant shift in how American Jews vote due to Israel & the media loves indulging their theories, even though it never happens.

Jewish Democrats head to the polls frustrated with their party. Will they still help flip control of Congress?

Jewish voters remain overwhelmingly Democratic, but Republicans see an opening in key races where frustration over Israel and antisemitism could help determine control of Congress

I suspect a not insignificant number of people will mourn Stewart’s passing more than their own dad’s.

Ivor Tossell@ivortossell.bsky.social · last wk.

Picard was a father figure for at least one generation, syndicated into kids' lives so relentlessly that they might have spent more time with him than their actual parents. I don't think you can separate Stewart's impact from the sheer linear quantity of exposure that role had.
