Nothing has ever been more real than the Trump Putin collaboration

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h ago

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Rich people not paying their bills is way too common a story.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has fallen months behind on a roughly $70,000 restaurant tab, leaving the owner struggling to pay staff and bills, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

The remarkably well fit linear trend is not a law of nature, but if it does continue, he'll be the first president to hit 20%. We have no precedent for how we'll deal with one that unpopular. We might let the law deal with him, but he cut down every law and has nowhere to hide.

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...

I can’t believe that this debate somehow gotta stupider after I left it. Taking the demand to prove a negative and turning it upside and calling it an affirmative claim is not a thing. Your vague feeling that LLMs might be conscious is just a vague feeling.

Ukraine has repeatedly offered cease fires and Russia has always refused

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 12h ago

Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj

300,000 tons is the equivalent of 93 million gallons of diesel. U.S. daily consumption? 160 million gallons. So 13-14 hours’ worth. Won’t really move the needle on prices in the market.

Mike Rothschild@rothschildmd.bsky.social · 17h ago

It's clear the plan is to blame Ukrainian refinery attacks for high gas prices, and portray Trump as working with Putin to save both nations. And the only way to stop the barbarism is to vote GOP in November. It's breathtaking in its cynicism, and it won't work.

This is, effectively, the same stupid argument that Elon Musk made against advertisers for not advertising on X. It's also not how antitrust law works at all.
