As Mamdani’s victory reverberates beyond NYC, Jews must choose solidarity over shock - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The president and chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations respond to the election of an anti-Israel candidate.

I'm sick of being gaslit about "globalize the intifada." I never heard of it before Zohran started running! It's like you're telling me that "Surf Party USA" is anti-Semitic. You know what I knew was anti-Semitic? Throwing up a Nazi salute like Elon Musk www.jta.org/2025/11/05/i...

I guess this is why he can't decide whether to go to war against Venezuela or Nigeria -- bc he can no longer tell South America and Africa apart.

I have terrible, terrible news for red America SFGATE columnist Drew Magary unpacks the 2025 elections.

SFGATE columnist @drewmagary.bsky.social dug deep into Tuesday night’s election results and came to an astounding conclusion: Woke won.

Paved the Rose Garden, put up an Olive Garden.

Speaker Johnson’s unprecedented, democracy-thwarting effort to keep the Epstein files secret On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike…

1. On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special Congressional election in Arizona, collecting 69% of the vote.

43 days later, Speaker Johnson has not sworn her in.

The delay, 8 days longer than the previous record, has prevented Grijalva from forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.

@marshallglasses.bsky.social reports that Jurinsky has left her election night party at her bar JJs as her deficit grows - now down 2,674 votes with 100,127 votes counted.

Zohran got a higher percentage of the Jewish vote than Trump. Has Greenblatt said anything about this?

13 seat gain! Congrats to all my former colleagues at @statesprojectus.bsky.social for their work on this amazing result.

Colorado Republicans had targeted school board races as their best opportunity in 2026 but teachers union and Democrat-backed candidates lead in Denver, Jefferson County, Cherry Creek, and even conservative Douglas County, per 9NEWS' Jennifer Meckles. #copolitics

The theme of this election night, yet again, is that Trump voters show up to vote for Trump and that’s it. If he’s never on the ballot again, there will be more election nights like this. I’m just afraid Democrats still don’t understand that and we don’t have institutions that will keep him off.

There are more of us than there are of them.

The AI Bubble Is Not a Question. What Happens If It Bursts Is. The AI industry's most important product is not a chatbot or a video generator; it's the story the AI industry is telling about itself

I wrote about the irony of the AI bubble, a phenomenon driven by storytelling and imagination in an industry that has contempt for both

If it’s hardwired, check the wire nuts in the box. Also if it’s hardwired to others with a shared signal wire, check the wiring at each other detector. Being near the door is suspicious, though, and a blast of cold air could be condensing and causing an issue. Mysterious smoke alarms are the worst.

man these people are committed to evil, what is even the point of having the word “evil” if not for this type of shit

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

ADL removes ‘Protect Civil Rights’ from website as it narrows its mission amid right-wing attacks The removal took place after FBI Director Kash Patel said he would cut ties with the ADL, though it is unclear if that has happened.

Opinion | A.I. Threatens Our Ability to Understand the World

It’s really devastating to see the devaluation of so many things (reading, writing, critical thinking) that I have always thought were paramount.

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.

They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

just asking, what did Cuomos dad do for a living

Easy one: People don’t have pictures of relatives who were murdered by demons.

By proceeding with purchasing a jet ski before seeking approval from my spouse, I forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

dental insurance: we only exist to make regular health insurance seem better™

Some of the worst political beliefs stem from a total failure to recognize how much better life is now than at basically any point in human history. Those who know how much progress has been made want more progress, those who don’t want to bring back a past they don’t understand

A Facebook marketplace listing for a “dog micro camper” showing a green wooden box in the shape of a pull-behind camper, but attached to an e-bike. A small dog, like a chihuahua is popping out of a hatch on top. The listing reads, “Not sure if anyone is interested but I made this dog camper to pull behind my e-bike fully weather sealed and has a sun roof type opening on top for small dogs or cats my dog is not a fan so I’m seeing if anyone wants to trade something or send me an offer”

Not my listing, but @darthbluesky.bsky.social this could be a huge opportunity for one of your followers in Denver.
