"Israeli military says violence against civilians 'grave and unacceptable'" Yeah, right. And what do they intend to do?

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Screenshot of two social media posts. The first, by a user whose name is obscured, reads: “If you hate AI you probably just hate art and expression. It’s an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans.”

Lesliejandersonwriter replies: “If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It’s an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!”

I may not be on here too much the next couple of days as we prepare to assist our buff tabby Biscuit across the rainbow bridge. Here's Biscuit with his littermate brother Earl Grey shortly after their adoption & him a couple of days ago. We love you, buddy; soon no more suffering from the cancer!

A Trump supporter punched a protester wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt in the face at Trump’s rally in Youngstown, OH. According to Mediaite, police removed the protester while the attacker stayed and “high-fived other attendees”. This is disgraceful and sums up the entire MAGA movement.

Did Zelenskyy save our elections? "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers in Russia it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. People noticed. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer Russian bots."

Gee, why's he so concerned with the credibility of our elections? Is he thinking he wasn't fairly elected🤔? Or maybe he's scared of what he knew/knows is coming? Vote early, my friends👍🌊!

Hoping🤞! "Harry Enten said current polling suggests there’s a 67% chance Democrats will win both the House & Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. On the latest episode of “The Enten Scale,” Enten noted that the figure has jumped 15 percentage points in just two months, up from 52% in August."

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man reads in a cosy armchair surrounded by books. "I've read so much." Panel 2: He looks wistful. "But lived so little." Panel 3: He throws open the curtains excitedly. "I bet a world of wonders awaits me outside!" Panel 4: Outside is total chaos – atomic cloud, buildings on fire, UFOs in the sky, lightning, people fleeing. He stares blankly.

Russia just bought large quantities of diesel from South Korea because it has run out of the fuel. Could Putin be defrauding a gullible Donald J Trump? Perish the thought!

Michael (Mike) Lasome @milasome.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
So Congress passed sanctions against Russia, & he's going to do this? This is clearly treason. It's not like that amount of diesel fuel is really going to do much, plus can Russia really provide it given the state of their refineries? This is just a way to get $ to his buddy (or his blackmailer!)😠

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Here’s the page. There is some debate in the talk section about whether a separate hanging in Galena, Missouri in 1937 (in front of a smaller select crowd of 400 people) should be considered the actual last public execution. I’m mad that I had to learn this history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainey_...

What the hell are we doing⁉️ Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood. He deserves to face justice. But Pete Hegseth turning a firing squad execution into a livestreamed spectacle is nuts.
