I read a lot. I write some. I think it's important to speak up about what’s happening in the U.S. I believe in doing the work to find real solutions & that means supporting research & science. I run https://bsky.app/profile/truthlabexperiment.bsky.social
This was a blast. Great viewing before you head out to vote. Thanks to @cdelawalla.bsky.social for giving some of her valuable time.
TruthLab@truthlabexperiment.bsky.social · 2d agoIn case you hadn’t heard, there’s a big election this week. That’s why we jumped at the chance to talk to @cdelawalla.bsky.social of @standupforscience.net yesterday. Watch our special election episode now: youtu.be/9R6_xhddVA4?...
We have to find a way to stop all of these greats that I grew up with from dying. This one hits hard.

Thinking about all the shit people talked about Lee Corso for years and how he just ate it up and went on about his goofy business. Now we have this annoying punter who can’t handle the college kids…
RedditCFB@redditcfb.com · 6d agoThe wildest part about Pat McAfee's weird comment about the University of Utah is the video that provoked it... *this* is the video that broke him:
If this is the beginning of the Pat McAfee downfall, I’m here for it. What a wimp.
Matthew Doyle@mattdoyle.bsky.social · 5d agoJesus. This guy's soft as shit. MLS fans would eat him alive.
Amazing. I never want to hear any whining about Soros or the “Deep State” ever again.
Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social · 7d agoElon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.
What? You mean those weird, failed basketball players who show up at WNBA games to yell at the teams might not actually support women?
Samantha Brennan@samanthabrennan.bsky.social · 7d agoA new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
Weakening/killing higher education has been a long-term project that started at the state level with regular and consistent funding cuts.
Big Frickin' Swede@bigfrickinswede.bsky.social · last wk.This. And if most Americans weren't aware of this in 2019, I'd guess they're even less so now. Public university students were paying for a third of the cost of their education in 2009, and it was up to half by 2019. 2009 wasn't great compared to the 60s-70s, either. www.pbs.org/newshour/edu...
Just a major CEO openly stating he’s a deranged, misogynist asshole. This guy shouldn’t run a hot dog stand, much less a billion-dollar company (built on government contracts).

One thing I learned from this is that Yglesias’ voice sounds exactly like I thought it would.
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · last wk.A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
This should be a driving political issue for Democrats moving forward, but there are so many obstacles. Billionaire tech overlords don’t care about this (or the people it impacts) & many Dems are too scared of industry & electoral blowback to do anything substantive. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/b...

New surveys show that increases in premiums and deductibles are forcing people to forgo treatments or doctor’s visits while budgets are strained by higher food and gas prices.

Again, this deeply weird Apartheid apologist and fascism fanboy should not be the most powerful man in the country.
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · last wk.“.. The world’s richest man poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress, recent election filings show.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/elections/in...
So, essentially, the decision Americans need to make in this election is whether or not they want this guy in charge of literally everything. Should a guy who spends most of his time whining on X about movies with black actors tell Congress, the military and the entertainment industry what to do?

As Election Day gets closer, remember that’s there’s a scientist running for Congress in Arkansas - @jonesforar.bsky.social. I interviewed him in August and we discussed the problem of Congress making big money off the players (corporations, stocks, etc.) while also setting the rules of the game.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

So, they’re buying up more chips and equipment than they can currently use and propping up the whole AI economy while buildout is on an extremely uncertain schedule. It smells like a scam, but even if not, it’s a house of cards.

In Arkansas, Tom Cotton is running TV spots he closes with, “We’re just getting started!” Bold coming from a guy who’s been in the Senate for 11 years with zero to show for it but an awful @nytimes.com editorial.

I’ve had this issue with TikTok over the most innocuous things. No clarity provided at all when I requested review. Just hints of how dangerous this situation is and will likely become without reform/regulation.
Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com · 2w agoMeta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Elon Musk is spending $158 million on Ken Paxton’s campaign. That’s more than the Make-A-Wish Foundation's annual revenue. Some people grant wishes to kids fighting serious illnesses. Other people bankroll a crooked pol whose make-a-wish was partying in Dubai with 2 fugitives from fraud charges.
