This is petty and least important aspect of this but: I reported on this years ago and the trump campaign falsely denied the reporting, and now via Hegseth they’re just doing it. Monstrous

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), dated 10/12/26 at 7:45 PM, reading: “I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

The New York Times reviewed time-stamped images from a security camera at Mr. Talarico’s home, which were provided by his campaign on the condition they not be published for security reasons. The images showed Mr. Talarico at the home between Oct. 1 and Oct. 8.

Just want to clarify. KC officials are not "betting" that the Royals stadium will pay for itself. They know it won't. No minimally competent person actually thinks that's possible. They just don't care.

Kansas City bets a new Royals stadium will help pay for itself. Decades of research say it won't
Kansas City staff used a graphic of a rack of ribs to show how increased tax revenues from a "stadium impact area" could help pay Kansas City's share of construction costs. Economics and public policy...

Gillis can be funny. I like "Tires" because I worked one summer in a tire shop and it feels spot-on. But he also can punch down as a right-wing asshole doing stale "edgy" shit then whine about censorship at the mildest criticism. All these dude comedians do this. Burr, Chappelle, etc. Sucks.

Bill Shea @billshea19.bsky.social · 17h
It's interesting because S3 of "Tires" had a scene where Gillis shits on the J6ers, which felt like an effort to distance himself from the MAGA Right as he goes more mainstream, but he also did lame/non-edgy shit in that SNL monlog while prominently mentioned buddies Theo Von and Joe Rogan.

They're also both incredibly clumsy and obvious. Don Segretti, the Nixon operative who coined the term ratfucking, would be embarrassed to see how half-assed this all is.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

We will become barbaric by publicly executing him? You mean we will have merely ramped up a few hundred years of naked barbarism that most Americans ignore, gloss over, or are willfully ignorant of. It brings American barbarism into the spotlight.

Fun fact: About an hour south of me in Monroe, Mich., is an enormous anatomically correct equestrian statue of Custer, and it apparently is a long tradition there that high school kids climb the pedestal base to spray paint the horse's balls in bright colors.

The agents should be publicly named and the new Congress investigate all of this obvious racist political intimidation by the increasingly fascist Trump regime. Its foot soldiers should be prosecuted for their illegal "just following orders" bullshit. Nuremberg all of them. Banality of evil stuff.

I'm sure various bigots, racists, and smooth-brained ignorant slobs are angry over this scene -- Iove that for them. And even aside from the genocidal federal campaign against the original peoples of this continent, Custer was an egomaniacal shitty tactician. He got his men slaughtered. Fuck him.

Greetings on Columbus Day from Columbus, Ohio, where six years ago they removed the big Christopher Columbus statue and absolutely no one in this city gives a shit that it's gone or ever really thinks about it. It's a good reminder that people who care about Columbus are losers who don't matter.

Exiting Twitter was one of the best decisions of my life. I am close to doing the same with Threads, which I barely use and has quickly become Zuck's downscale version of ragebait-filled X. Bluesky and Instagram has been good experiences.
