Yeah! That story is an opportunity to explore how military industrial complex influences conflict in that universe. It’s been alluded to in a few different movies, but I’d love to see a proper story flesh it out.

The clear choice here is Red October.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

With the government shut down, flights cancelled, and hungry people going without SNAP benefits, Trump leaves his newly gilded palace for another weekend of golf and parties in Palm Beach.

Strong get-out-the-vote message for Dems.

The Latest (in New York Times Opinion): Did Women Ruin the Workplace? NOVEMBER 6, 2025

Imagine, if you will, this headline with the word “Jews” substituted for the word “women”:

“Did Jews Ruin the Workplace?”

Disgusting, right?

Well, it’s just as disgusting that this is an acceptable question to debate about women.

The misogyny is staggering — and so normal.

Still.

Yeah, it’s a confession that the Trump Admin‘s M.O. is “don’t ask for permission, *demand* forgiveness.”
So while undoing all the tariffs & trade negotiations would unquestionably be a sticky ball of yarn to untangle…they should’ve considered this before creating the mess in the first place. 🤷‍♂️

Either you’re joking or you’re a clown.

I thought that’s what “malware” meant?

I’ve also heard it called “bloatware,” especially in the context of mobile phones and smart TVs.

Mexico’s President Presses Charges Against Man Who Groped Her on the Street

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

Surprised this guy knew anything about last night’s elections. He’s normally much slower on the uptake.

Along with everything else, Trump admitting the shutdown led to a bloodbath for Republicans should at an absolute minimum lead Dem Senators to shelve their apparent plan to prematurely cave. He's admitting he and the GOP are in a weak position, Dems. Exploit that!

Yeah, the whole “votes are a direct function of ad spend” is a fundamental flaw in the corporate Dem consultant-brain model for running elections. Social media enables voters to focus more on track record and how candidates live their core beliefs—that drives votes. Ads are pundit fodder.

If you're a leftist this is the best day since... when

Only losers hate on trans kids 🏳️‍⚧️

War Criminal Dick Cheney Dead at 84, With Blood of Millions on His Hands Cheney’s legacy more than outlives him; he reshaped the very structures of war and authoritarianism at home and abroad.

Former vice president Dick Cheney has died, at 84, with the blood of millions on his hands. His legacy will far outlive him as the man responsible for wars that have killed and displaced millions abroad; and who worked diligently to lay the groundwork for fascist authoritarianism in the U.S.

paragraph of why establishment news outlets don't like Mamdani.

Why the WashPost, WSJ, and NYT all hate Mamdani. Excellent piece from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social. www.cjr.org/analysis/leg...

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Trump just showed his hand and came up with half the money for SNAP. The other half is there. Don't fold. You're gonna get fucked. AGAIN. Anyone who votes to reopen the government now, as the administration is coming apart and eating shit in the press and in the polls is trying to save Trump

Aren’t they arguing that Biden’s pardons are invalid bc he had no idea who he was pardoning?? So…

The Indivisible Maryland Coalition—a network of 49 grassroots groups statewide—is calling out Senate President Bill Ferguson for refusing to move forward with redistricting in response to Republican-led gerrymandering nationwide. The coalition argues Ferguson’s inaction weakens Maryland’s Democratic supermajority, silences state lawmakers, and undermines efforts to defend democracy. They urge Maryland leaders, including Governor Wes Moore and the General Assembly, to show courage and act decisively to protect fair representation and counter GOP map-rigging.

The Indivisible Maryland Coalition urges immediate action on redistricting to counter Republican-led gerrymandering in other states. They call on Governor Wes Moore to convene a special legislative session and for the General Assembly to assert Maryland’s authority to protect fair representation. They emphasize that Senate President Bill Ferguson can still reverse course by supporting mid-decade redistricting rather than maintaining inaction. The coalition calls on Maryland residents to pressure Ferguson and their legislators to back a special session, arguing that delay until 2026 would forfeit a key chance for Democrats to defend democracy nationwide. The statement concludes that Ferguson must stop blocking his own party and take a stand for democracy — Marylanders deserve leadership and action.

Thank you to the Indivisible Maryland Coalition for calling out a powerful Democrat's attempts to block Democrats' redistricting push in his state. GOP states are rigging the midterm maps nationwide and Maryland must act to level the playing field — our democracy needs fighters, not bystanders.

FINALLY

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

My sis-in-law also has “double the gear” and didn’t find out until she was 30 and got pregnant. She had to terminate the pregnancy because of it and just went ahead and got a tubal ligation.

Hero shit

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

I thought this show went off air years ago.

Pre-2010, I flew between CA and FL a couple times a year, and I regularly had a row to myself.

I feel like the booking sites used to allow you to increase the number of layovers…like I remember once flying Orlando > Dallas > Salt Lake City > Ontario, CA once and there’s no reason for all that.

remember when elon musk was still in government and DOGE still active and they pretended for like a week rampent social security fraud was happening, and then it turned out they just didn’t understand that databases would include people who passed away and we never heard about this “fraud” again lol
