Not only were Democrats defending seats in states President Trump won, such as Michigan and Georgia, but to have any hope of winning a Senate majority, they had to defeat a strong, longtime incumbent in Maine, Senator Susan Collins, and flip Republican-held seats in deep red states like Alaska, Ohio and Texas.

Scripting News: Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Wednesday, October 14, 2026
Thread: "Imagine rock and roll without the Beatles."#
Occam's News reports that Trump et al are selling out the US. Putin can get the US to do what he wants by giving Trump money. Total win-win. And the US is flushed down the toilet. That's all that's going on there. All of the journalistic feigned bafflement is make-believe. It's totally obvious what's going on. And don't forget Musk has the world encircled with satellites. If he doesn't want you communicating, you don't communicate. In other words the selling-out has been going on for some time. #
Someday all the pieces will be interchangeable. Then there won't be different brands of social networks, just different brands of the software. All parts replaceable. It won't have all the chaos of the web. And that will be a good thing. #

HomeView is simple, and that’s a good thing ↦

The best writer on the smart home beat today is The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, who I think has the best take on the HomeView I’ve seen so far:
