In typical NYT fashion, they describe electoral sabotage (Bolsonaro loyalists shutting down buses meant to go to polling stations) as "transportation problems"

Why Talarico Is Losing Texas in the Home Stretch
Former Democratic Political Strategist Evan Barker believes Democrats have neglected rural Texans in the midterm elections, and are underestimating their distaste for a candidate like James Talarico. Barker shares her findings on Democratic advertising in rural areas and how it will impact voter turnout.
Whatever happens in Brazil, Glenn Greenwald’s credibility amongst “the left” should evaporate entirely. He is a fraud and an unscrupulous opportunist. @BrianMteleSUR explains

we don’t believe in ourselves enough and thus the ghosts and sprites of fate and fortune don’t shine their light on our dreams of liberation. You got Yemeni guys using RPGs like sniper rifles and $500 drones as bomber planes fuckin the game of empire all the way up. You must hope

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?"
@mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to."
Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat."
Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair."
Me: "Why?"
Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."

Just saw the Elizabeth Holmes movie and Billy Evans definitely saw my tweet about his beautiful wife
My favorite part of the Larry David discourse are the people who think he is literally joining the DSA
Jewish guy who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars is now a member of the party that hates capitalism and Jews. Good job Larry David.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Larry David's Oct 17, 2026 Air Mail piece is satire mocking the DSA. He only pretends to join in the essay, and its "proposals" (like renaming Jews "the Bagel People") are jokes, not a real membership. airmail.news/issues/2026-10… twitchy.com/samj/2026/10/1…
