Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h agoTrump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine. He told Congress it followed "internal investigations." Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.
Look who is trying out as a Fox News pundit today...
Trump forgets to salute while exiting Marine One then lumbers across the tarmac to his Qatari bribe jet. Natalie Harp is the first one up the stairs to join him on the plane.
Bo French, the Republican running for Texas Railroad Commissioner, said he never agreed to debate his opponent, state Rep. Jon Rosenthal, disputing the Dallas Press Club's account. The Press Club said it engaged both candidates to settle on Oct. 22, but it did not have that conversation in writing.

The President’s son tweeted that ad out three hours ago, long AFTER the truth about Acton’s abusive parents came out.

Dan Rather is spot-fucking-on. Since Trump measures everything through the lens of ratings, I'm sure he'll be very proud when his livestreamed treason trial breaks the internet.
Fearing the possibility of existential risk, federal and state officials have proposed legislation to mandate the implementation of kill switches at AI companies. Lawmakers need to specify the precise enforcement conditions and how it would operate, writes Lisa Klaassen & @kevintfrazier.bsky.social.
Who, If Anyone, Should Have a License to Kill AI?
Lawmakers want AI kill switches, but who pulls the trigger, what it shuts off, and when it’s justified remain dangerously unclear.

An incredible sentence in the context of a purported op-ed on how policymakers can make things affordable: forcibly increase the out-of-pocket cost of health care for seniors to (if it works) stop them from going to the doctor www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/o...

James Grimmelmann@jtlg.bsky.social · yesterdayBecause four of the Justices have book contracts with a party's corporate parent, the Supreme Court LACKS A QUORUM to hear BMG v.

Because obviously catching someone who allegedly stole a package of diapers justifies risking the life of a child. (Risking because when the cop shot at the car, the child had not yet died.) Sometimes I despair.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTrump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."
I've watched a lot of TV throughout my whole life, and I've don't think I've ever seen the amount of 'take care of yourself', 'get help if you need it', 'walk in my shoes', etc, like I've seen this year. And with the nonstop barrage of political ads, most replayed twice sequentially, it's *surreal.
Always be careful who you shove around, because fate can/will bite your ass.
