What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

Constitutional Amendment Clause 1, canceling every Musk government contract Clause 2, seizure of every Musk dollar down to the penny and every asset from his businesses IP and real estate down to eg complimentary hotel shampoos Clause 3, hunting Elon Musk is now legal

Dude is pushing a full press campaign for explicit white supremacy with a fortune largely built from public money.

It's probably better to think of Elon Musk as, first and foremost, a white nationalist billionaire who works to spread racism and elect Republicans and, secondly, as someone who likes to blow up rockets in his spare time.

This, though, this stuff Elon is fantastic at. He uses his carny scams to fund the GOP which he does better than anyone. Excellent at helping Republicans get elected. So good that he was allowed to do a Sieg Heil at the inauguration and it didn't matter. That is a talent.

The threat is real and Musk is toxic. Light him up.

Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

y'all... 🤭😭

My closed-captioning is stuck and I’m crying 🤣

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Marty wrote one half-decent piece of music once and it went so much to his head that he became insufferable to the point that his own friends at Bungie kicked him out of the room for the negotiations with Microsoft. He hates me because I know this about him. Now all of you do too.

Gamers must rise up to support Republicans this November if we want to save our society

My reels algorithm is so fucking good now man. Pure psychic warfare straight from the White Martian

.@JamesTalarico: My faith teaches me servant leadership, and over 4 terms in the Texas House, I’ve tried to serve my constituents in Central Texas. I want to be your servant. I’m applying to be your senator, that’s why I showed up here for the job interview tonight.

HOLY SHIT we made a new show with Tubi! go watch America's Next Top Cryptid, all episodes now streaming: tubitv.app.link/bY8Rw03f36b

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Republican Rep. Andy Harris falsely cited a Maryland statute to bar a reporter from recording, declaring, “I actually know the law well.”

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

Incredible first day for new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia

Trump is now signing pardons on stage at his rally in Alaska (note that the documents are brought on stage by Natalie!)

America if the news covered it like those countries Over There

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump’s feds raid home of Ilhan Omar as part of criminal investigation

It is now one of the biggest facts in the world that the richest man in the world is an overt white supremacist trying to bend politics worldwide in the direction of white supremacy. Twitter isn't the source of his wealth but it is his biggest megaphone.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Anthropic is the latest lab to report 'rogue' agent activity, which sources said included applying for visas with the State Department www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
