I actually love how in our entertainment-obsessed nation there’s always one or two races in an election that puts you on the edge of your seat

WOW. The Republican mayor of Oklahoma City, the state where every county went for Trump in 2024, has some choice words for his fellow Republicans tonight, arguing a "morally and intellectually bankrupt" political party deserves "the rebuke of the American people." #okleg
I got tied up with reporting and writing, but Republican Mike Mazzei has defeated Democrat Cyndi Munson for governor of Oklahoma. Mazzei finished with about 52% of the vote.

Dale Denwalt@denwalt.bsky.social · 6d agoChecking in from Oklahoma where voters are choosing between a Trump-backed Republican who borrowed millions of dollars to inject nearly $13 million of his own money into the campaign versus OK's highest-ranking Democrat, who raised $3.3M, mostly from small donors.

Poland in 2026. A house divided. In 2023, PIS government lost power after 8 years. Eight years of changes which if called controversial would be an understatement, encompassing all areas of life. One of them is the chief of Constitutional Order - the Constitutional Tribunal. 🧵
wow i'm so surprised it all seemed so normal and safe and cool.

I wonder how many bags of popcorn @oncinema.bsky.social would give the new grok movie about Odyssey
Instead of “New’s” I’m gonna make a “News Movie Lounge” and we only talk about Spotlight, All the President’s Men and the Woody Allen movie Scoop

There is nothing about my life that is so inconsequential that I would let someone else make a decision for me. Why the hell would I let a computer do the same?
Ben Abrams@benhabrams.com · 3w agoWould you outsource your to-do list to an AI assistant? Personalized AI agents with cheerful avatars and names like ‘Dots’ and ‘Muse’ can supposedly do busy work on your behalf. But what are the risks to handing over the keys to your digital life?
Historically those who have tried to design flying cars typically have succeeded in designing both a crappy aircraft and a crappy car all in one go.
The weather is making me mad and I want someone to be mad at about it
Stephen Nehrenz@stephennehrenz.bsky.social · 4w agoOkay, let's just get the bad news out of the way immediately. We're adding the summerlike mugginess to the record summerlike heat today. Heat index values -- yes, heat index values -- could be near or above 100 in some spots this afternoon. That's just all kinds of wrong in October. 🥵
Oklahoma beating Texas will never not be funny. Especially when Texas is ranked No. 1
I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

I visited The 99s Museum of Women Pilots in Oklahoma City today and was surprised to see they have a piece of Capt. Kim Campbell’s A-10 that was shot up over Iraq in 2003.
I don’t watch enough movies but I’ve been watching for a clear “theme” of this age in cinema to emerge, and this might be it
QuoProQuid@quoproquid.bsky.social · last mo.lot of films out about rn how the world is already doomed and how no one can accept responsibility
A “sunset” is the term used when a law, usually an entity, dies on a specific date in the future. In this instance, they would be talking about the recurring sunset date for licensing agencies. In other words, if the legislature doesn’t extend the sunset, the agency loses legal authority
Shawna@mitsubishe.bsky.social · last mo.after both answers i still don't know what sunset laws are?

Also we’re raising the price of your sandwich subscription (again!) to cover the costs of supply chain disruptions and we’ve integrated AI into your sandwich to save you time—it will now eat itself!
Jamie Smart@jamiesmart.bsky.social · 2mo agoCan’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.
