In case you have not been following this story -
MAGA influencers alleged James Talarico received psychiatric treatment during his week-long absence.
Elon Musk amplified the accusation.
Documented dates contradict their hospital-discharge claim.
The alleged recordings and calls face scrutiny over authenticity, privacy protections, deception, and potential legal consequences.
Lindner Center of HOPE denied James Talarico receiving treatment there.

More power to Ukrainian military, may a million drones destroy a trillion Russian bots.
Lovely. Ukrainian drones destroying Russian bot farms is therefore destroying German Nazi party (Afd) online assaults. And Trump bots going down.
Ha ha. Take out the Russian bots pretending to be Canadian and American and Brazilian too.

“Petulant pantload.” Jo Jo and Jeff Tiedrich have some of the best references to the POTUS.
#USpol“My God, that puling, peevish, petulant pantload, that sniveling, snot-sucking sultan of self-pity, that heaping pile of clammy deli trimmings that looks like somebody tried to sous-vide a Stretch Armstrong in the cloudy runoff from a can of hot-car Vienna sausages, is so absolutely, mind-bogglingly, embarrassingly pathetic.” - Jo Jo From Jerz

You know what else might excite voters? If Maine Democratic Party officials, elected Democrats, and other Democratic candidates would answer email and phone calls from the voters they're trying to excite. Just a thought, but if you're running for office, and a voter contacts you with his concerns and an offer to help your campaign, maybe don't ignore him. #Politics #Democrats #Democracy #Maine #Senate #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/us/politics/maine-bernie-sanders-troy-jackson-seante-democrats.html?unlocked_article_code=1.H1E.GEeP.ioYJoOC5M79-&smid=url-share

So we got these mailers yesterday and my bullshit detector was going off. Why for this obscure Senate Candidate I've candidate I've never heard of? Why now?
In the fine print it says "Paid for by Enough Promises Ohio". Looking at the FEC records, that group paid out over $300000 to a company at 100 Coastal Drive, Charleston SC.
That address belongs to Big Dog Strategies, a GOP elections consultant. It's a dirty trick.

Activists confronted MN GOP at their annual Lincoln Reagan fundraising dinner. Outside, activists chanted at attendees as they entered, while activists inside waited to make a scene. Outside actions peacefully concluded at 7pm while inside activists were later trespassed & cited for causing a scene.

"Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agree to energy ceasefire"
Trump relying on his 'make shit up' tactics.
Of course, I don't think he thought much about it. Let's assume for a moment that he's telling the truth. Russia's not going to stick to any agreement, not when Ukraine is targeting Russia's limited server farm facilities (just 100 total).
Why did Ukraine target Yandex? Because its hyperscale farms account for ~17% of operational power consumption in Russia with just 4 farms. So, if you can knock out all 4, Russia will have lost 17% computing capacity. If you follow the logic of targeting the companies that hyperscale their hyperscaled servers, then, the next companies up are either IXcellerate or Sber.

Elizabeth Warren calls out Scott Bessent's bullshit and he responds by telling her to take an introductory economics course?
> Evidence Is Evidence: The Questions Scott Bessent Couldn’t Answer. https://emptywheel.net/2026/10/11/evidence-is-evidence-the-questions-scott-bessent-couldnt-answer/
Warren was a Republican voter and doctor of Law and an #Economics professor who did a study on bankruptcies — and then switched to the Democrats and ran for office because of what she learned in that study.
Scott Bessant has a BA in Political Science…

RE: https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dci5jlffbhbi4ui4inf2wk6i/post/3mxmajxbt7c2i
And, of course, on top of the misogyny, Bessent adds a racist stab in pen at the end.
I've said it before and I'm saying it again here: I have never seen an asshole more need of a punch in the face than Scott Bessent. Seriously, his face begs for the fist. He has the perma-sneer and supreme moron's confidence of the cheapest 1980s-movie villain, only it's in real life and he's Secretary of the Treasury.
He's truly contemptible filth all the way through.

Carl Sagan’s Prophecy
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
We’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
