About 10 years ago, my girlfriend's boss asked her what her dinner parties were like. People pay minimum wage in London and think their employees are throwing dinner parties.

This article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Over on X, the “rigged election” crowd is pushing rumors around a video livestream clip of election workers, working late at night, allegedly doing something nefarious. Maricopa officials have explained that the workers are just… doing their jobs. But rumors around the video continue to swirl.

X Posts about the Maricopa Late-Night Video, Oct 9–11, 2026.” The x-axis is time (local) from midday Oct 9 to mid-morning Oct 11. The y-axis is the cumulative number of posts, including reposts, from 0 to 35,000. A black line shows the running total. It is flat until mid-afternoon Oct 9, then rises sharply that evening to about 5,000. It climbs slowly overnight, then steeply through Oct 10 to about 28,000 by that evening. It levels off overnight and rises again on the morning of Oct 11, ending near 36,000. 365 individual posts are plotted on the line at the time they were posted, sized by repost count. A legend identifies 80 original posts as blue circles, 220 reposts as green triangles and 65 quote posts as orange squares. The largest markers are early: a large original post in the afternoon of Oct 9, a very large quote post around 6:30 PM Oct 9 at the start of the first surge, and another large quote post around 9 AM Oct 10 early in the second. Reposts are spread along the whole curve.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in Kansas A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

Trump wants to impose on us his newspeak by force. It is very much Orwellian newspeak that flattens and oversimplifies concepts. Science uses steps to describe the future of artificial intelligence: ANI, AGI and the last step ASI: Artificial Super Intelligence. Trump’s SI flattens the hierarchy.

i'm expecting the mods here to absolutely crack down more heavily on anyone who is dismissive of ai than even begin to address the rampant levels of transphobia they allow on their watch

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

The Lichtenstein conversation throws everything about AI into sharp focus, as far as people wanting the respect of people who do art but not understanding that basically brutally making halfass copies of original stuff isn’t the way to do that.

I've seen people try to rehabilitate roy Lichtenstein among cartoonists. "he brought us into the mainstream" "he made us matter" fuck you. he stole and he profited and he left us in the goddamned dust and so did everybody who forgave him

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Democrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump Demands

The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.
