After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

Resistance means using all the tools and spaces you have for peaceful opposition. My latest video.

Elon Musk’s latest tweets prove it’s time for the UK government to take action against him Elon Musk's latest posts inciting violence in the UK should serve as the final evidence needed for the government to take action against him.

4. OpenAI plans a $7 billion data center outside Detroit Real estate giant Related Companies agreed to build a data-center campus worth more than $7 billion on farmland outside Detroit, in what The Wall Street Journal called “one of the largest deals yet” for this class of property deals to power artificial intelligence. The 250-acre campus is the fourth new site announced as part of a $300 billion contract between Oracle and OpenAI to power the ChatGPT-maker’s Stargate project. The news came the same day the small modular reactor startup Blue Energy announced a deal with the artificial intelligence company Crusoe to develop a nuclear-powered data center campus in Port of Victoria, Texas. The project, which aims to build up to 1.5 gigawatts of power, would first build natural gas-fired plants with the intention of phasing them out in favor of Blue Energy’s nuclear reactors by 2031. The nuclear company plans to construct its plants on sites where it can ship the reactors to the campus by barge. “We’re not really doing anything where there isn’t regulatory precedent in the past,” Blue Energy CEO Jake Jurewicz told nuclear scholar Emmet Penney on the podcast Nuclear Barbarians earlier this month. “In the end, it comes down to being really thoughtful with design, plant architecture, and site selection.”

In @heatmap.news - a really, REALLY good demonstration of the rhetorical function of promising nuclear power at some point in the future, while engaging in a massive, full-scale unchecked fossil fuel infrastructure explosion today and tomorrow --->>>>

The 'Donroe Doctrine': This is Trump's neocolonial plan for Latin America The Donald Trump administration seeks to forcibly impose the hegemony of the US empire in Latin America. With war, he is reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine, which officials call the Donroe Doctrine

This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

Larry Bushart, 61, spent over a month in jail over a liberal meme he posted on Facebook. He celebrated his freedom by eating wings, drinking margaritas — and posting a bunch more liberal memes on Facebook. Heart of a true boomer poster.

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Experts still debate the utility of the New Deal but people at the time adored him because FDR was so *visibly* trying anything and everything

For politicians, demonstrating you're listening and responding to their concerns is as important as finding the best policy

For #Halloween, here's the reclining skeleton mosaic from San Gregorio on the Via Appia. The Greek aphorism ΓΝΩΘΙ Σ(Ε)ΑΥΤΟΝ ('Know Thyself') is said to have been inscribed at the Temple of Apollo on Delphi (Pausanias 10.24.1). 🏺🦇

The spookiest part of Halloween 🎃 isn’t the ghosts or the ghouls…

Israeli soldiers shot and killed 14-year-old Palestinian Yamen Samed Hammad in Silwad in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.

Local sources have reported that Hammad was left bleeding on the ground as Israeli soldiers prevented an ambulance from transporting him.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Trump is starting a war.
