Thanks to one of my mutuals, a preteen girl got a legit Mamdani t-shirt and campaign buttons for Christmas. “Now he’s like us, right?” That meant someone got to draw this and do an impromptu lecture to an actually interested child. I don’t know who is happier, man or child.

And now for one of my favorites while indulging in seconds. 🎄❤️

Said lasagna

Strolling memory lane while the lasagna bakes.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

The worst thing about this 60 Min story is that the powerful are not held to account bc of the compliance and cowardice of the very specific exec chosen for this role. A secondary worst thing is that said exec will face 0 accountability A tertiary worst thing is that CBS News is no longer trusted

Say it with me now: The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. (Attributed to John Gilmore, ~ 1993.)

Once again, I want to ask, where are the women and children who have been deported by this administration? What is happening to them?

Why am I getting random followers all of a sudden? I barely even post. 😂

A couple of arguments about who should really be 1 and 2 then we went on and enjoyed all the bowl games and the holidays. No stress.

Ol’ Nick knows how to pick ‘em.

Nothing to lose against Indiana. Balls to the wall. Why not?

Sure did. Roll Tide see y’all in Pasadena, baby!

Alabama to Notre Dame

Run out the damn clock.

Bless.

Of course we can’t.

Bless

Get a first damn down here.

Oop.

Aight defense let’s go.

Gut it out defense. Let’s go.

Shades of Prothro

What a catch

DEFENSE SO SEXY

Woo baby! Lets go

Roll Tide

Just had to argue with a fast food employee to give me my full amount of change. It was 44 cents and they gave me 40 back. Sure, it’s only 4 pennies, but you can’t just keep the change. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Largest recorded theft of American wealth and property? Native and enslaved peoples plus the entirety of the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries would all like a word.

If you ever do pack up the kiddo’s toys because they won’t clean up, be sure to clearly label the bag so it won’t actually get tossed in the garbage. And picked up. Sorry, Disney Princes.

The symbol of democracy falls as a symbol of capitalism remains strong.

Yes it is curious. It’s because they lie. Someone on here mocked me a little when I (gently) explained that edtech’s entire use case in higherEd is to build a higher quality training dataset than the ones AI can scrape from the internet. And to labor bust. I don’t know how else to say it!

Couldn’t let Bama get too close tonight, huh?

Why is @CBSNews using the BBC to cover the Brown shooting?

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

In other words, there’s a sense that a lonely man is a problem everybody needs to worry about; a lonely woman probably deserves it. Part of this is just gross societal yakkety yak, but some is practical: There’s much less public fretting that lonely women will do harm to others.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

there is not a single person in the trump administration that could be considered "best" or "brightest"

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
