Respectful celebration and remembrance of loved ones. Family members bring votives to light the darkness, food, drink, candy, flowers for the departed. Along a curved road, rows of seated figures with candles and tied bundles, layers of mountains, small church, and lake in the distance

Nov 1 is Trump's Marie Antoinette moment

That's her spot

$500 purple cables put this little-known company in the middle of the AI boom Credo's stock has more than doubled this year after soaring 245% in 2024 as the AI boom makes its way downstream.

I’m less worried about not having an election at all (even autocratic states have bogus show elections) than about having one so compromised the results are meaningless. Either way, I don’t know anyone could be paying attention and NOT harbor that fear.

Collins and Carter vote for Trump all the time. That's good for running in a gerrymandered safe Republican seat. Not so good a competitive whole state race.

The brain worm should’ve had a separate confirmation vote.

Trump's economy forcing the old Cracker Barrel man to delay his retirement

Outside of a primary challenger further right and deeper in the MAGA cult, MTG is safe in that gerrymandered seat.

Gotta make sure the septuagenarian Dems are asleep.

Flyover Country What a future where iPhones are made in America would really look like.

After Trump was elected the first time, there was also a lot of talk about making iPhones in the US. At the time, I co-edited the sci-fi outlet Terraform, and asked @timmaughan.bsky.social to imagine what such a future might really look like.

He's clear he wants 30% of the labor force in manufacturing. That's triple what we have now. With that goal, using an exit ramp gives it up. Opening a factory isn't a few months plan. Supply chains have to experience sufficient shock to capititulate.

Conflating being smart and being rich has been one our biggest mistakes and the US will never live it down

"Why did you bring a flashlight to the meeting?"

You asked me to shed some light on the situation

Every time someone my age says something about “a brainrot trend on TikTok…” I’m compelled to remind Gen X that we were obsessed with Gregorian chant for a year in the 90s.

The current state of US politics makes me want to play #Shadowrun
