Catching up on this year's SNLs I missed. Is Domingo actually a popular sketch or do the writers just think it is?

This is madness. All books by Normal People and Conversations with Friends author Sally Rooney set to be withdrawn from sale. The 34-year-old Irish author says: “The disappearance of my work from bookshops would mark a truly extreme incursion by the state into the realm of artistic expression.”

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

A series worth reading. See the thread for details and links.

the three spirits

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

Stephen Miller's favourite comedy movie is the Epstein videos.

I'm too exhausted for a social life.

Another week finished. Time to sleep.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Please help me get this story out to a wider audience. Please share everywhere. northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Every time Alan Dershowitz is in the news, I think of this old Norm Macdonald Weekend Update joke: "In a highly unusual ruling, the California State Supreme Court declared this week that O.J. Simpson attorney Alan Dershowitz is, quote, 'one ugly bastard.'"

A distressed sixteen year old sends an impassioned letter explaining how fear of the withdrawal of her gender affirming care has left her suicidal. But it’s ok, NHS Sussex ICB are on it with a dedicated helpline. That should fix things. The evidence for the efficacy of helplines is legendary.

"Moms [for Liberty] has a Canadian chapter, and there are many similar organizations that are active here. Parental rights activism picked up speed during the COVID-19 pandemic with anti-mask mandates before focusing on the supposed threat posed by school libraries." thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Please help me afford food if you can.

Then as now ...

Every Thanksgiving, my family has a tradition of watching one particular episode of Northern Exposure. Cannot tell you how angry it makes me to wake up to this. 🤬

"Left on the economy, right on the culture," is just fascism in the end. Also it will never take you left on the economy in the long run, because a machine built for eating people will keep eating people.

They pulled an autistic teen out of a pond yesterday after a search. He didn't make it. Elopement is a real issue around the holidays because changes in routines and large gatherings can be overwhelming. Please make sure your family tag teams who's keeping an eye out for autistic family members.

happy thanksgiving, les nessman youtu.be/BGFtV6-ALoQ?...

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

There's a direct causal link between what Nuzzi did and multiple kids dying of measles. She shouldn't just be out of the profession. She shouldn't be able to walk down the street without getting screamed at.

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

anyway. conde naste should fire Nuzzi, fire the hack editor at vanity fair, reverse its gutting of teen vogue, and apologize to all of us for this nonsense.

The Freep probably wants to be more accurate ... CIJA is an Israeli organization, not a Jewish organization. Conflating the two, making it look like Jews in general want to stop the CMHR from talking about forced displacement of Palestinians, could feed anti-Semitism.

I've been watching SNL season 14 for my reviews, and a lot of my copies of the original broadcasts come from WLBZ Bangor, which used to be the affiliate carried on cable in the Maritimes.

If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Anyone else surprised to learn that Maggie Smith was only 58 in SISTER ACT (1992)?

"The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose—especially their lives." - Eugene Debs, 1918 (this speech landed him in prison)

Though it's a hard truth, it's also very difficult to handle the fact that in a sea of "Finding a Solution to the Trans Question" articles, the rare mainstream media piece to treat us like humans is usually premised on "you should probably flee the country, and soon". newrepublic.com/article/2036...

I'm glad I live in Halifax but I'm too tired to enjoy it.

Good.

David's right. - AI manufactures deepfakes and worsens the epistemic crisis - is being used to create a global surveillance state - encourages people to turn their brain off and stop thinking entirely

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Stripe's TOS. This shit has got to stop. Please contact them too

Give us your Qs! We wanna give you some As!

The UCP is liable for the murder of trans youth all across Alberta.

There's no hate as fucked as Christian love.

Fuming whilst listening to Alberta UCP MLAs referring to the Cass Review ad nauseam to defend its bill... literally removing the right to life from trans youth.

Making peace with my decreased capacities.

Same.

"The beliefs RFK Jr. espouses kill people. These beliefs have already killed people" 💯

I was interviewed by the wonderful journalist @melodyschreiber.com for this piece—which focuses on the REAL story: Nuzzi “used her position of power, as a journalist, to advise and elevate the world’s most prominent anti-vaccine activist to the most influential health position in the United States”
