Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · yesterdayTrump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from
Using your brain is becoming a status symbol. The elite want this for themselves and their kids. Your kids can make do with robot teachers and slop.
Anna Kornbluh@annakornbluh.bsky.social · 9h ago“At Harvard, students are clamoring for a class that assigns a hefty book a week, requires regular essays, bans digital devices. Humanities 10 drew 180 applicants for just 90 spots this fall. Students expressed urge to be forced to think for themselves in the age of AI." www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ha...
Moreno aims for El-Sayed but also hits Ramaswamy (who is Hindu)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoMoreno: "Rogers is in a race w/ somebody that is an affront to me as an American. El-Sayed can be nowhere near DC. Do you think he understands that concept that our rights come from God Almighty? That Jesus came here for our salvation? He should be nowhere near DC & Rogers is going to kick his ass."
My favorite thing about these articles is they're all titled something like "Rahm Emanuel doesn't care if no one likes him" as though ELECTIONS aren't popularity contests!
If Books Could Kill@ifbookspod.bsky.social · yesterdayThis month's bonus episode is about Rahm Emanuel, a man whose political constituency consists entirely of prestige magazine editors.
could some law professors weigh in on whether "bumbling sideshow" is a good or bad thing for a judge to say about your conduct
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 10h agoA federal judge found that an immigration court bond hearing was so egregiously stacked against an ICE detainee that he may simply order the release of ICE detainees, rather than bond hearings, from now on. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
it's a felony crime to say you don't know about a hypothetical thing in a hypothetical situation, apparently.
Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social · 12h agoDonovan moves on to the hypothetical. Would you agree she's answering in response to a hypothetical posed to her? Witt: Yes Donovan: When she says "I don't have any knowledge of said laptop," it's referring to a hypothetical laptop in a hypothetical question? Witt: Yes
Of the other Home Depot founders, Bernard Marcus is a Republican superdonor and Ken Langone... uhh... wrote this book.

The Scene reports here that the “youthful indiscretions” Taylor refers to include unsolicited nude photos sent as recently as 2021 when he was 53.
Nashville Scene@nashvillescene.com · 2d agoRepublican congressional candidate Brent Taylor asks voters to forgive past sexual advances as "youthful indiscretions."
All other prior attempts at bootstrapping stare in awe at this. They did it. The ultimate example. The future dictionary definition.
Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social · 2d agoDOJ: What we filed is superseding complaint. The way we read the rules -- I admit it's novel -- I had not done this before. Our reading is that to issue a superseding complaint, that does not require probable cause. If we were seeking an arrest warrant, it would.
So if you're following, DOJ's theory here is they can file an initial complaint with probable cause based on incorrect facts, then file a superseding complaint that removes those facts and proceed without probable cause. Novel indeed.

incredible strategic error by Pat McAfee to reveal he is deeply bothered by relatively mild mockery from college students despite a key component of his job being "standing on a stage in front of college students for 3 hours a week"
The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d agoBeyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Blackman is a hack and a political identifier is the only way NYT knows how to communicate that fact. So naturally this is the sort of complaint the editors actually listen to instead of the million others made by their readers.
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 6d agoPersonally, if I were a standards editor at The New York Times, I'm not sure I would have given Josh Blackman a platform to complain about being described as a "conservative" law professor, and definitely would not have told him how smart and correct he is to do so www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/i...
Between this and Ramaswamy, I think the GOP has lost touch with reality so much they're just making ads for Dems now.
Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 2d agoHow racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

This is EXACTLY something the Cool Mayor would do in a CBS dramedy that came out after The West Wing. (WAY different politics, obviously)
Chris Sommerfeldt@c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social · 2d agoNew: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell
