This is insultingly stupid. Does he really expect anybody to believe that Canadians have just stopped spending money on wine because Californian wine is no longer an option? We get the same amount of tax revenue from French and Chilean wines. bsky.app/profile/schi...

While the far right was inventing conspiracy theories that James Talarico snuck off to an Ohio mental health facility, Talarico raised $64 million of mostly small-dollar donations. www.politico.com/live-updates...
James Talarico announces record-breaking $64M haul
With the largest third-quarter Senate fundraising ever, Talarico’s campaign has now raised more than $134 million.

Texas Democrat James Talarico raised a staggering $64 million this summer — the largest third-quarter haul of any Senate candidate in history.

The national Democratic darling raised more than $134.3 million since launching his campaign in September of 2025, according to figures shared first with POLITICO. More than 1.3 million donors contributed, the campaign said, as Democrats slowly reconcile themselves to their long-held but often fumbled dream of gaining a statewide perch in Texas. About 97% of those donations were of $100 or less.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Jim Stewartson: This is severe psychosis. He exists in an alternate reality constructed by his own grandiose delusions. This separate world is protected by people who use him for their own purposes, and by people like Natalie Harp who guard him from narcissistic injury.

He is not in this world.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
