Henri Bergson wrote that humanity’s task is to fulfill “the essential function of the universe, which is a machine for the making of gods.”

Hot take: Just when human population starts to fall, AI personalities will start being created in volume. The total number of “persons” on Earth will continue to grow exponentially but the percentage in human bodies will shrink. The timing lines up perfectly.

I would not dismiss that Maine poll, if I were you. Trafalgar was one of the most accurate pollsters of 2020. You need to fucking vote for Troy Jackson. Get off your ass people and vote. This isn’t a joke.

See what I mean. There’s 6.5% of voters who are Graham Platner voters who refuse to vote. You gotta convince them, Maine.. Susan Collins has got to lose.

This is probably the single best Two minute clip I have seen in a long time.
Anderson Cooper, who is gay, making fun of how gay Donald Trump is.
And I will repeat. There’s nothing wrong with being gay. The problem is hypocrisy.

Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine.
He told Congress it followed "internal investigations."
Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.

Trump engaged in a thoughtful, extended conversation with—nothingness. He suddenly stopped, waved, saluted, offered greetings, and chatted for a bit with the empty space. 😁🤭
The cameraman deliberately zoomed out to show that there was absolutely no one to be seen for hundreds of meters in any direction.
Apparently, Trump received a visit from the very same "invisible person"—the kind of encounter he had previously mocked Joe Biden for supposedly having.

A blue wave isn’t enough. We need a BLUE TSUNAMI.
From New Hampshire to California, we have an opportunity to send a message across this country that we’re BETTER than this.
November 3. Let’s TAKE IT BACK.

Even atheists are praying for you. You are a good man. Please get well.
I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

Appears to be absolutely MASSIVE protests all across the US yesterday and this platform is so skewed to the Trump/Putin side that this is the first I've seen or heard of it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The montage uses recycled footage from larger 2025 and March 2026 No Kings protests, not Oct 17 2026 Vote Early events. Those were smaller localized gatherings (hundreds to thousands per city) focused on early voting, not the massive crowds shown.

Hey @megynkelly — go fuck yourself. And when you get there, go fuck yourself again.
