THIS IS REVERSE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BY THE WAY

Could Mayor Adams Really Thwart Mamdani's Rent Freeze? The mayor could make moves to stack the Rent Guidelines Board against him, but a Mayor Mamdani would have some options to fight it.

Hell Gate plays out some potential scenarios that could happen if Mayor Eric Adams does indeed stack the Rent Guidelines Board in his final weeks in office in order to block a rent freeze through 2027.

It's a good time in history to get yourself something huggable

I became a librarian so I could fondle books all day instead of digging ditches. This is a non-negotiable aspect of civilization I refuse to give up. I’m 48 and that much manual labor would actually literally kill me.

amazing how the Silicon Valley sales pitch suddenly became “we’re bringing about a bright future where everyone but the ultra-rich will be forced to return to the fields”

and they genuinely don’t seem to believe this could eventually end poorly for them

The only degree of wealth concentration that the ultra-rich/powerful can aspire to anymore is so insane that it requires the impoverishment of the rest of humanity to achieve. That's why Trump et al adore the 1890s - not out of ideology, but that's the last time wealth inequality was that bad.

Tweet from Ella Devi: canvassing for @ZohranKMamdani in the east village today and the actor who plays dr. strugis in young sheldon is in my canvassing group!! Photo of Ella with another canvasser and Wallace Shawn

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Did you happen to leave your @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk purchases on the Metropolitan line yesterday?

Did one of your friends do this and send an anguished message to the group chat?

If so, Darren has just done you a very good turn. 👇

Evil as hell. Glad to know that one of my senators, @amyklobuchar.com, voted to confirm USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins, the monster who is forcing children to go hungry.

@amyklobuchar.com voted for most of the Trump monsters to show that she’s “bipartisan.” Thanks Amy, great job!

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News Right now, a potential peril is at hand: the end of truth.

There are lots of reasons to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News. Maybe the biggest one: her new boss David Ellison's connections to AI.

screenshot of a tweet from @heetjeer dated 2 Nov 2025 reading: "Credit where credit is due, Kristol and the Never Trump people around Bulwark are offering a more substantive and urgent critique of Trump's threat to the constitution than mainstream Dems like Schumer and Jeffries."

true

When you make a character shorter you've gotta preserve their total surface area, so yes, it IS in fact necessary to also give them a fatter ass. It's just math.

INCONTHIEVABLE!

“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.

Help Us Report on the Impact of Oil Field Waste in Oklahoma Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. For years, residents have filed complaints and struggled to find solutions. We need your help to understand the full scale...

Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. It has bubbled up near homes and a school — and it has killed farmers’ crops and ranchers’ calves.

Help ProPublica and @readfrontier.bsky.social understand the full scale of the problem 👇

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

Hit with higher insurance premiums? Trump is making them even higher.

Forced into bankruptcy by medical debt? Trump doesn’t care.

Worried that’ll impact your credit score? Trump wants it to.

Those nuke tests that Trump wants are still going to be underground like the ones in the early 90s, in compliance with the Partial Test Ban Treaty, right?

...right?

Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Portland mother freed, reunited with children after four months in immigration detention Her release surprised family and advocates, frustrated that Merlos remained behind bars despite an immigration judge terminating the government’s deportation case on Oct. 14.

Friends a small bit of good news.

Swap out “lose SNAP benefits” for “go hungry,” then read it out loud.

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary

we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

And on Sunday, they all went to church.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

Not seeing much on Bluesky vs Twitter but St. Elizabeth parish in Jamaica is devastated after Hurricane Melissa made landfall there yesterday.

This is the government’s official support site, which is quite well organized.

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.

Printout on a shrink wrapped pallet of a sweaty bald man on his knees praying. It says DO NOT STACK ON THIS PALLET!

that’s right beg you miserable worm

Kinda not sure what we're supposed to do about chatGPT being as normalized as it is. I feel like everyone that's either very young or very old is into it, millennials largely being the only normal ones lol
