Trump:
I could have won the Vietnam War in a week.
They kept bombing forests for years instead of going after Ho Chi Minh City.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon during the Vietnam War and was the capital of US-allied South Vietnam; North Vietnam's capital was Hanoi.

Donald Trump likes to brand California’s Democratic establishment as a nest of “far-left communists.”
This unhinged rhetoric can still find a ready audience because it resonates with a deep-rooted Californian tradition of lurid, authoritarian red-baiting. jacobin.com/2026/10/californ…

Two more students used AI in my class when the syllabus explicitly states you’ll fail if you do so. I feel for this generation

“Nazi Punks Fuck Off” by the Dead Kennedys
The combination of the song and Jello’s spoken-word intro makes the track timeless, and more relevant than ever.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Hundreds of Indonesian students and civil society groups protested in the capital, Jakarta, and other cities against President Prabowo Subianto's policies, including the handling of ongoing forest fires and government spending priorities.
My latest reflections on using history to understand the present… with Star Wars references.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Hasan Piker's final message before ending his 8 hour stream of pure vindication:
"Always do the right thing. Have a northstar that guides you. Have a moral compass. Do the right thing. It doesn't matter what people say. it doesn't matter what people attack you with. It doesn't matter how they smear you.
There's no such thing as karmic justice, in my opinion, although, today of all days, it surely feels like there is a little bit of that in the world.
I wish a similar fate to befall all my enemies, who have spent years and years engaging in this exact same kind of behavior. There are so many awful scumbags in the world. Many of them become YouTubers and Twitch streamers."
