Happy Election Day from Brazil. Don’t fuck this up

It's election day! MAKE GETTING OUT THE VOTE YOUR ENTIRE PERSONALITY TODAY. Go vote! Remind your friends and family and coworkers to vote! Be annoying about it! Help people get to the polls if you can! Send pizza to the polls if you can! Stay in line! VOOOOOOOOTE.

🎃 Heads up for anyone driving tonight: be extra careful, drive slow, be alert! 🚨

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Re: Alaska Make it illegal then. Also let’s ban gerrymandering. And get money out of politics. Why do Republicans only suddenly care about election shenanigans when they’re not the ones doing it?

Patrick Stewart in lockdown reading my favorite sonnet, Sonnet 73, “That Time of Year Thou May’st in Me Behold.” RIP.

Pope Leo will vote from the Vatican, by mail, in Illinois' midterm election

That mail ballot had to travel a long way — from Joliet to the Vatican City, where Pope Leo XIV has led the Catholic church since white smoke appeared from the Sistine Chapel in May 2025.

Hey, it's episode #150!

This one hurts. 💔 Rest well, Patrick. 🖖🏼

It's only been like ten minutes since I found out, just before it hit the press, so I'm staggered and doing my best to process everything, while my phone is blowing up.

I wish I really were a Traveler of all of space and time.

It’s only been like ten minutes since I found out, just before it hit the press, so I’m staggered and doing my best to process everything, while my phone is blowing up. There will be wonderful obituaries and reflections from so many people who knew him. I’m going to do...

This is true for RNs, PAs APRNs and Nurse practitioners. Also, MD Hospitalists, OR Techs, phelobotomaists, Hospital Check in staff, ER and ICU sterile cleaners and most other lower paid hospital workers. If you are scheduled for a 7AM to 7PM shift on election day you cannot vote on that day.

Hey, you already knew RFK Jr is a crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people, but did you know he's a *racist* crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people?

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · last wk.

RFK Jr goes full white supremacist in supporting GOP's Mike Rogers for Senate saying "Arabs Don’t Produce Literature,’ Only ‘Hatred’ and ‘War." Of course that is BS. BUT key is RFK said this in Michigan to help Rogers--will media call on Rogers to denounce it?! www.mediaite.com/politics/rfk...

Every functioning democracy needs a party of the left and of the right - and both within the framework of accepted rules of a liberal constitutional order. One day I hope we get that back.

G Dan Mitchell | Photography@gdanmitchell.com · last wk.

As a lifelong Democrat voter… America is better off when we have a principled Republican party, too. Be careful about treating all Republicans as irredeemable cretins. The current crop does fit that description and deserves to be shamed and run out of office — the leaders and cowardly followers.

Hey, @ronfournier.bsky.social is on @ms.now ! Great seeing him on TV. #Lovethatboy

Trump went to North Carolina to concede the Senate race there? He’s more mentally unhinged every day.

Trump on Roy Cooper: "He's going to become your senator and it's crazy" RIP Michael Whatley

@dhuckelbridge.bsky.social is brilliant on @msnowcomms.bsky.social right now.

If you haven't been keeping up, Sen Schmitt tried to play gotcha with Jack Smith and it blew up in his face.

Hey Iain, @iainthomson.bsky.social, Great seeing you on Twit.tv this week! I'm guaranteed a chuckle or two along with the info. I don't know how long you've been on Leo's shows, I feel like I know you. @2389.ai Harper Reed is now must see too. My Twit membership keeps paying divdends. Take care.

Headed to Denver for a day long review of Artemis III - V requirements. Lots of unknowns at this point, obviously. This is an exercise on what we know/what don’t we know.

On the other place, Hugh Laurie just delivered a Death of Expertise smackdown for the ages

Last night at 10pm I had a craving for proper shortbread and then I realised *I could just make shortbread* if I wanted. 🎉

I bought myself a balloon, a fancy frozen pizza, and some new cider/mead to try in celebration of selling & shipping my art to all 50 US states. Yay science + art!

about 10-15 minutes into the flash back episode my fiancée looks at me and goes “this is too scary! where are the jokes?” and 10 seconds later there is a tension breaking joke. it’s perfectly paced and so well written. also surprise Betty Gilpin and Hamish Linklater?! come on.

Yikes. 35C is unpleasant but rarely deadly - but given our infrastructure, one day in the not very distant future we're going to get a heatwave in the UK that'll kill an awful lot of people.
