Arsenal played 6 matches in October.

6 wins. 6 clean sheets. 12 scored.

First club in English top flight history to do it.

i really cant believe we’re still discussing this in 2025 but if the choice you give voters is “republican vs temu republican” they are going to continue to choose the name brand over the generic, this is really basic human nature stuff

look at what happened with immigration: dems try to be “centrist” with the biden border bill, gop just went further right and started lying about eating pets…may be a lesson to learn there

Never take this team for granted. They're not normal, and we'll be waiting a long time before a similar one shows up.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

North Carolina is virtually synonymous with partisan gerrymandering. Republicans have drawn all election maps in our state for 14 years running - the last Democratic lawmaker to touch any map, whatsoever, was back in 2003.

Here are just a few examples of the rigged maps that are in effect today.

If only there was some kind of signal

If you were looking for an example of everything that's wrong in our politics today, you could do worse than this sentiment from Republican North Carolina State Senator Ralph Hise on Monday, October 20th 2025, to objections from lawmakers about his proposal to rig North Carolina's Congressional map.

Genuinely what an insane image

Quiz: United States or Nottingham Forest

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record:

Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

Columbus aint do a damn thing but get lost. Happy Indigenous People's Day

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

People actually don't care about politics. They'd rather not think about it, actually. The right makes people want to care about politics. It does that by enraging and engaging them. It does that by turning them into heroes who can stop whatever is enraging by voting & sharing their content.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside.

But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

Donald Trump is not popular
Donald Trump was the least popular person to run for president in US history
Donald Trump lost the popular vote, twice
Donald Trump is not more popular when he abuses the power of the presidency to silence American citizens & corporations

I just love Jimmy Fallon. He always makes me laugh.

This is brilliant.

There are many problems with this statement, but Klein’s fundamental error reveals something much more dangerous: he’s mistaking performance for discourse, spectacle for persuasion. Kirk wasn’t showing up to campuses to “talk with anyone who would talk to him.” He was showing up armed with a string of logical fallacies, nonsense talking points, and gotcha questions specifically designed to enrage inexperienced college students so he could generate viral social media clips of himself “owning the libs.”

It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.

@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

The federal government is absolutely abandoning North Carolina's recovery from Hurricane Helene.

Compared to every other major climate disaster from the last 20 years, the feds are skimping on helping communities impacted by Helene get back on their feet.
