I got to submit my first ever campaign finance violation complaint. So I've got that going for me.
You'll never guess who we just hired in our legal department!
Total amount of time she spent performing the job of press secretary: 15 minutes. Warhol was a prophet.
the "stock fluffing propaganda" worked for about an hour this morning as the pigs lined up for the slaughterhouse ramp
Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 2d agoMusk's "flying car," in case there's any doubt, will never actually see any sort of meaningful commercial launch and exists entirely as stock-fluffing propaganda aimed at the U.S. tech media's unlimited supply of credulous dopes
The thing about court packing is that republicans have already been doing it, just in a way where they don’t need to change the number. The most obvious was the blockade of Scalia’s seat, and then flipping and rushing ACB through, but strategic retirement is way asymmetric here too.
I got covid (Pfizer) and flu (double) shots yesterday afternoon. Body aches started about 3pm, now I’m up and I feel like I’ve been beaten with baseball bats. I know this will keep me from serious illness this winter, but combo of age and formula is hitting me this year
This chart in this morning's NYT is awfully misleading. Suggested edits in red to avoid any confusion.
Prices would “remain elevated” at 0% inflation. This is price acceleration not elevation.

A lot of people have been asking questions about the Yandex data center bombing and Russian bot trolls... and I figured eventually we'd get some more expert analysis... Sounds like the story wasn't really true:
Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social · 5d agoY’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.
It’s not the grifting. It’s not the being caught blatantly grifting. It’s being a woman and being caught blatantly grifting.

I really don’t watch political ads, but this one is OUTSTANDING
Greenb3ar@greenb3ar.bsky.social · 5d agoOkay the best political ad of the year is here from LA-DSA
JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.
Time for the MUSK Act (Moratorium on Unlawful Spending by Kleptocrats) - corporations are not people, cannot donate or spend for any political purpose - people limited to $1,000 per Candidate - end PACs
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 6d agoAbsolutely insane levels of spending by Elon Musk to help Republicans this fall, the New York Times documents. $276 million just since this summer, most of which to help Senate Republicans. Single-handedly destroying records and swamping Dem candidates. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

this is what democracy looks like. Colorado park county dems, community service. we pick up trash 3x each summer on 2 miles of busy highway.
just in case you're interested, this is the cumulative energy generation of my 6kW rooftop solar power system, in the high Colorado mountains. I use a 'fiscal year' model because my system was turned on in late September, so data is captured and rendered monthly Oct - Sep. details in alt txt
