if absolutes are baked into your schemas, influencing your perception and emotional experience youre gonna have a bad time. shit on your allies, youre gonna have a bad time. take responsibility for your pain and your trauma and the world is a better place for it. vomiting it on others makes it worse

On Musk and Starlink he says: “This decision will bring a lot of human losses. Of course, people will die.” Asked if he’s angry with Musk, Zelenskyy says: “Yes, I think he is not right. It's a big mistake.”

Texas Republicans continue to engage in rat fucking this election. Someone sent out mass texts to voters statewide claiming to be from Trans Texas (TENT) with a guide on dealing with anti trans laws. Republicans are already calling on Paxton to investigate the org. TENT has denied it sent the texts.

Prices are high and rates are high. That said the increased supply has been nice, if u are able to buy sellers are gettin a bit desperate w/ negotiations and slashing costs. With increasing market risk parking money into real estate is a solid move

OSSOFF: Mike Collins called for killing immigrants by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. I'd like to hear if Mike Collins stands by that statement. Do you still believe in the extrajudicial killing of immigrants? MIKE COLLINS: *changes topic*

seems a bit early and lacking to draw a general conclusion, yet. likes, views. also what criteria did you use, only posts containing 'afd'?

Shay @shayban.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
what about views? influencing the algo, pushing posts to the top. maybe not necessarily restricted to afd posts, but sentiment and rhetoric aligned with afd ideologies

Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it. Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

Yeah the point is doomer posting and needing a therapist and a journal instead of vomiting their fear and pain unrestrained on social media, shitting on everyone whos fighting for us in this moment and pushing them away. This isnt fighting that, this isnt change, this is validation/doomer porn

Here's video of Paxton and his girlfriend watching fireworks at a party in Dubai with 2 fugitives from the U.S. who fled federal healthcare fraud charges. Anosh Ahmed, one of the fugitives, had donated $190,000 to Paxton.

Guy literally is delusional: Reporter: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire but both sides say they have not. Trump: They agree. You know why? Because I said you agree. That’s why. They agreed because I said they agreed.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.
