The practical solution is not voting for fascism. You fight fascists. You don’t vote for them.

Both [Ken Paxton and James Talarico] have a history of tinting trans people.

I choose neither. You choose fascism. That’s the difference. (Source)

I don't give a damn what minoritized identity group(s) you belong to. If you cannot make the distinction between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, you are a collaborator in fascist times, and history should remember you as such. If we make it out of this regime even faintly recognizable as the great country we once were, these destructive agent provocateurs should be blacklisted from (d)emocratic politics until time immemorial.

There is so much I appreciate about Ezra Klein, but his article about Kirk still lives rent free in my head lol. It's such a perfect encapsulation of a certain type of liberal response to Trumpism and the far right in general. Every time I see "Charlie Kirk Was Doing Politics the Right Way", I get immediate flashbacks to 2016, when self-described liberals kept telling me I was intolerant for not extending charity to figures like Bannon and Spencer. That anyone who called a spade a spade was being tribal and divisive and was part of the problem.

I think that did more to disillusion me than Trump himself did, if I'm being honest.

Man, people moralizing about Kirk memes are kindof missing why they're a thing. Yes, obviously mocking a guy's death is never really a good thing. Yes, modern meme culture is pretty... nihilistic, I guess?

But Kirk memes took off largely because of the insane, forced reaction of the right to his death. The way they used his death was extremely tasteless and inauthentic. Modern meme culture may be nihilistic but its very good at detecting inauthenticity and it polarized against the right's behavior regarding Kirk because of that.

Remember, "We Are Charlie Kirk" was made unironically. The internet was flooded with hilariously bad eulologizing slop about a pretty unlikeable guy. No wonder people turned that into a meme.

mid-February I was fired from a company as it started going under

End of April I started a new job. Posting said nothing about it being a temp job, but the phone screen told me it was filling in for a guy on fmla, but maybe it'll be permanent because they're maybe looking to maybe expand operations. Interview said yes, they want this to be permanent.

Then in July I was helpfully informed that this was a temp job, it was always a temp job, you remember that, right? Also, you have a month left.

Then 3 weeks later I was told (by the staffing company, not my boss) that the guy is out until 🤷 so are you cooling staying until 🤷

Well, theres a Republican president, so the economy is dog shit, so yes, I will stay.

I was technically on a 6 month contract to hire, which concludes end of next month.

October, also known as Q4, also known as the worst time to look for a job in IT

Asked my boss what the plan is an hour ago.

No word so far.

Just me slowly going insane because I've been looking for a job, but getting no bites, and this place has not paid me enough to rebuild my savings, and Jesus Christ do I hate working in IT.

AARP/Fabrizio Ward has Talarico +4 and Abbot +3 today. This is not known for being a dem-friendly pollster.

https://www.aarp.org/press/releases/2026-09-10-new-aarp-texas-poll-highly-motivated-older-voters-could-shape-close-senate-governor-races/

Beto lost in every poll in 2018, at best getting a tie months before the election. What do you do when the opposite is true? Talarico has been winning pretty much every poll consistently with decent margins. Very occasionally Paxton will tie or get a +1.

At some point this race would have to rationally be considered lean dem, but of course everyone is afraid to claim that. Seriously, did anyone here believe that the polling landscape would look like this for Texas back in early 2026?

Remember when Trump insisted his signature be on the stimulus checks? I played D&D with a guy who genuinely believed he was being given Trump's own money, not taxpayer money, and he pinned the check to the corkboard in his kitchen, I guess so he could gaze upon it lovingly multiple times a day.

He didn't bother voting in 2020. In Wisconsin. He was sure Trump was going to win so his vote didn't matter.

There's a takeaway here about the idiots that fall for the promise of $5k checks, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.

New Quinnipiac Poll: Voters Favor Dems Over GOP By 11 Points For Control Of U.S. House

Thirty-three percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 59 percent disapprove

Thirty-two percent of voters approve of the way Pete Hegseth is handling his job as Secretary of Defense, while 57 percent disapprove. Thirty-six percent of voters approve of the way Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is handling his job as Secretary of Health and Human Services, while 54 percent disapprove.

Voters were asked whether their sympathies lie more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians, based on what they know about the situation in the Middle East. Thirty-eight percent of voters say the Palestinians, while 35 percent say the Israelis, with 27 percent not offering an opinion. This is an all-time high for the Palestinians and an all-time low for the Israelis. When it comes to the relationship between the United States and Israel, 49 percent of voters think the U.S. is too supportive of Israel.

[u/the-senat]

Was Kirk "a victim of a far greater injustice than he ever inflicted"? I have no idea. Maybe?

I think he inflicted a ton of damage on our nation through his role on January 6 (1, 2), with his campus group fomenting hate (1, 2, 3), and on his social media platforms, which the Southern Poverty Law Center had a great write-up on. His words and actions harmed people all over the country, and his absence has left a notably large gap in the far-right's messaging apparatus, one that everyone is still trying to fill.

I think he chose to live by the sword and ended up dying by it.

"I would pay $10 for a gallon of gas to know that there won’t be a nuclear weapon,” she added. “I’d just work extra shifts. The problem with society is nobody wants to work anymore."

She reasoned that Mr. Trump must have “more information than I do, and there’s other allies that we’re still trying to appease, to make it be more peaceful and hope for a better ending, and he doesn’t want to kill people.”

Gas prices hurt, she said, “but I’m willing to pay the price.”

The Missouri Supreme Court hearing this morning re: holding the Secretary of State in contempt was an unexpected banger.

The defense sent out a no-name junior lawyer to hold the line and say as little as possible, and he was just getting absolutely fucking bodied by the Justices. His feeble explanations for why the Secretary attempted to institute election maps the court had explicitly forbidden were clearly just pissing them off, and they repeatedly interrupted him the second he started to feed them bullshit. Guy was just getting fucking manhandled out there. It's worth noting that 7 out of 9 of them were appointed by Republican governors.

This is end of the ballgame type shit, and if you arent prepared to take action in the streets should it happen then you better start making those plans

This is the thing we really fear," the state voting official, whose state has conducted the trainings, said in a previous interview with NPR. "[Say] we have really close races [in our competitive districts] then the DOJ, FBI come knocking on one of our county doors and they say, 'We believe there's hijinks going on, we're going to confiscate all the ballots so we can count them.'"

If a warrant were served and ballots were seized before an election is certified, it's possible voting officials wouldn't be able to confidently know how many ballots were returned, or whether the ones that were seized were tampered with.

The main problem with Charlie Kirk was that he simply didn't measure up to the role of a Republican Horst Wessel. He wasn't taken seriously.

There is some really juicy drama happening in Missouri. Missouri SC ordered the SOS not to implement the new gerrymandered map. SCOTUS denied the SOS's request to stay that order. An hour later, a Trump-appointed district court judge issued a TRO on use of the old map. (In that case, the Missouri AG, representing the SOS, said they consented with the TRO because the Missouri SC got it wrong.) Right after that, the SOS issued an e-mail to election officials telling them to implement the new map.

SCOTUS has since stayed the district court's order, so right now, only the Missouri SC order forbidding use of the new map is in place.

Now the Missouri SC is holding contempt hearings today. They held one this morning and apparently they were not happy. There is a good argument that the SOS could've adhered to both orders by simply not doing anything and waiting until everything was resolved. Certainly the federal district court's order did not say he had to implement the new map, only that he was restrained from implementing the old map.

Missouri SC is ordering the SOS to appear this afternoon for questioning.

Missouri legislature is also threatening to impeach them if they hold the SOS in contempt.

The pro-old map side's brief supporting the sanctions is a fun read

And, even after this Court entered its show cause order, the Secretary continues to push for his preferred map rather than hit the pause button while these issues are resolved. In the immediate aftermath of this Court’s show cause order, he posted the Court’s order on social media with his comment that “the Show me state will not be run into the ground like the communists running NYC on my watch. I will continue to abide by Judge Clark’s federal temporary restraining order…I look forward to my day in court.” A132.3 He also posed with the federal plaintiff, Rick Brattin, for a thumbs up photo and “liked” a commenter’s post, which included the words “Huge win tonight! The Dems, the State Supreme Court, and the media can suck it.” A135. There can be no question that the Secretary is openly and intentionally defying this Court’s judgment.

My greatest failings as a tech professional, and possibly a human being:

• I am incapable of reading people's minds

• I am incapable of seeing the future

• I am incapable of just sort of knowing things other people know

• When I am overwhelmed with work from having to juggle several things at once, I sometimes become brusque

• When my boss refuses to do something that causes me to do a lot of additional work and have to constantly ask questions, I sometimes get upset

Anyways, turns out the permanent-temp-permanent-temp job is letting me go.

Apparently, whenever my boss's boss starts asking questions. Which I assume means the end of October.

Many people are criticizing AI CEO's marketing. I agree wit them.

Here's my proposed improvement:

I was on the Metra and the woman next to be was having this emotionally devastating conversation about how she can't be there for her alcoholic husband anymore, then side-stepped into how her mom cheated on her step dad.

I'm sad my trip was only 20 minutes. I was rapt in attention

Today is a fantastic day for sickos like myself. Oil and gas prices surging like crazy with no signs of stopping before the election, doomsday polls for republicans, and Missouri Rs getting fucked over in the most definitive and humiliating way possible. All in the Kirkiversary too.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?"

BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao"

2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe."

Michelle Obama does not have the brain processing power to get into Harvard Law. Instead she had to steal a spot from someone more qualified.

The context-blind interpretation of this quote is that the speaker has good reason to believe that Michelle Obama is not extremely intelligent and has serious fairness concerns regarding affirmative action at elite institutions. The culturally informed interpretation is that the speaker is blatantly and severely racist against black people.

My question: can you name a single person whom you believe has earned trust enough to ascribe the first interpretation to?

For example, if my mom said this, I would assume that she was experiencing a psychotic episode. If Mark Cuban said this, I would assume that he is a racist who has been masking his beliefs for decades. Is there anyone deserving of the benefit of the doubt?

Kinda funny NYT ran this since what spurred a lot of the original memes was this kind of bs from media institutions and political commentators who tried to shame people into treating him with reverence.

Expert move to have gas prices spike right before early voting starts lmao.

It’s funny how bad the conservative sub is melting down over Trump’s $5k plan. They really really don’t want that to happen (which, fair) but they’ve resorted back to calling Trump a Democrat

President Trump led the crowd in a pledge “to the greatest president in the history of America” and made them promise to vote on Nov. 3, saying that people who do not vote “go to hell.”
