This man is a monster. And a really, really stupid monster.

The number of Fediverse servers plunges, while total users goes up, again demonstrating that it’s more centralized around Mastodon servers than anyone likes to talk about (but many warned about). But where are the users coming from, and will they be sticky?

YOU DOLTS THAT VOTED FOR HIM ARE ABOUT TO GET HIM GOOD AND HARD, says Digby.

Elections have consequences. Enjoy them with a nice splash of battery acid on the side. You’ve earned it.

Trump looks ‘ready to touch the third rail’ with politically toxic ideas: analysis - Raw Story

The only reason I am not as despondent as most everyone I know, is earlier this year I had the good fortune to finally meet a partner I could easily finish out my life with, and maybe find some joy, even under fascist, scumbag overlords. It only took us decades to find each other, but now we have, and we’ve been setting-up house. It’s been a lovely distraction from the apocalypse.

Good morning, Amerika. How goes the unscheduled demolition of our Republic that most citizens still don’t realize they voted for?

It’s called Project “2025,” because that’s how many ways it screws all of us.

For 20 fucking years all I’ve done is talk about the media. Now suddenly, everyone is discovering that half the country is hypnotized by vicious, overlapping right wing media empires and there’s almost no way to stop them. Welcome to 2004.

‘Nuff said.

Isn’t anyone else surprised to hear that Susan Wiles has been driving this whole Trump campaign all along ? And who drives her? Peter Thiel. Did anyone in big media bother to tell us any of this? nah. They were too busy discussing Biden’s age.

FYI: Other countries get what big media refuses to discuss for fear of “retribution.”

The lead paragraph of an Andrew Coyne’s column in Canada’s national newspaper, the Globe & Mail. Both are reliably conservative:

The most overrated piece of shit in America sounds a little down today. Great sign.

Good morning. I will never believe that this country is as evenly divided as the media suggests. But if we are, we’re in much deeper shit than any of us are really prepared for.

What the Republican legislature did to voting in PA is just appalling. And we’re already paying for it. https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-early-voting-problems-bucks-county-bdc20bfb2c82e29d8698c1a22feb0eae

I am quietly dreading a billionaire’s run on the media. He’s just making it look like too much fun to be a global publishing tyrant. They’re all going to want to do it soon. Brace for impact.

Good morning. Keith Olbermann just alerted me to this latest Musk scandal with Putin. Three different news apps including Google News have nothing about it. What about the major papers?

Gas prices are a campaign issue for all the wrong reasons.

Who was this person, and why would Trump be paying for the funeral anyway?

Trump wants “the kind of generals Hitler had.” But will this be reported on national morning (or evening) news outside of @msnbc? Not a chance.
