Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Fine info but the crucial details are:
- 8 was exactly the number needed
- None of the 8 are facing reelection in 2026

Those 8 voted yes so the others could safely vote no. Any Dem Senator not calling for Schumer to step down for this can be safely assumed to be in on it, regardless of their vote.

Mamdani created vision that shamed this cowardice: by having standards, and then showing everyone what his standards are, and then proving that he truly held those standards by standing for something without shame. This tapped into something powerful.

Social media being made by Canadian millionaires hoping to become Canadian billionaires with Canadian genAI. People, just start making your own websites again and bring back RSS
November 9, 2025 at 8:14 PM
This would be so much more appealing if they weren’t using genAI. It’s such a huge turn off, the ethics are atrocious, it’s environmentally disastrous, and it communicates a real lack of respect for/awareness of the audience they’re hoping to attract.

It's not phrenology if the computer does it instead of humans. You are not allowed to ask where the data the computer trains on comes from.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that?

Let’s put 2+2 together: H5N1 Avian Flu that has been proven to be airborne & can present asymptomatically, has just been found to be transmitted human-to-human after years of believing it wasn’t. But we’re not cleaning the air in schools & workplaces, we’re cleaning the air in chicken farms instead?

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and then the guy had to go on TV and apologise for how being shot in the face made Dick Cheny look bad?

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.
today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

I'm wheezing
just....enjoy this
November 3, 2025 at 9:32 PM
What the hell. This is terrible!
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
