Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

25-16, Marquette wins the third AND SWEEPS #7 WESTERN KENTUCKY! Tom Mendoza gets his first NCAA tournament win as MU head coach!

I’m reminded of this right now…

I started an #mubb t-shirt business that required 2 things. 1. Twitter. 2. Enthusiasm for exciting Marquette basketball. Sadly, I have neither. www.mubbtees.com

How does dropping 50 points in a Finals clinching game for one of the NBAs most tortured franchises not merit a spot?

Giannis has the Game 4 block on Ayton, Game 5 oop from Jrue, and Game 6 50 piece. Insane run.

Trump is opening an "investigation" because that precludes DOJ from being allowed to release the files.

In an effort to expand on James's annual thing, I will match the next $500 in donations made through desertbus.org/2025/ The total is currently at $9039.

I am a man of my word. Y'all came through in a big way with the $5 donations and I promised a match, and a match you shall get. If anyone else would like to match my match that would be super neato, but at the very least let's keep those early $5 donations coming! Onward to $10,000! desertbus.org

are renewables better for the environment than fossil fuels? yes. is it cheaper? also yes. is it less dangerous to extract? yes, significantly. but you've gotta understand if we switched, the people who are currently wealthy would not be as wealthy

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

My Lancet analysis with @scottlgreer.bsky.social @hjarman.bsky.social @xrkulik.bsky.social shows how inaccurate it is to say it's just "Democrat programs" being cut. From insurance to service delivery (incl. veterans' crisis services), people of both parties harmed. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

The disparity between the high majors and the rest of college basketball has never felt bigger. The conference strength drop from the Big East to the A-10 is larger than the gap between 6th and 17th. Here's the full conference rankings list from EvanMiya.com ⬇️

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

Food banks had scheduled 94mil(!) pounds of food deliveries through a government program that buys meat, dairy, eggs and produce from American farmers and sends them to help people in need. Trump’s USDA abruptly canceled those deliveries. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Republicans have the White House, both chambers of Congress, and while we’re at it, the Supreme Court. And reminder: Trump canceled the meeting with Democratic leadership. If they can’t keep the government open, it’s on them, the Party of Personal Responsibility.

Months after the Department of Government Efficiency's attack on the federal government began, WIRED spoke with more than 200 federal workers in dozens of agencies to learn what happened as DOGE tore through their offices.

Very good summation of the shenanigans that have been going on the Department of Justice, and how what President Trump has been asking the DOJ to do is way worse than Watergate. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-bond...

These Project 2025 videos were intended to train a second Trump administration’s political appointees "to be ready on day one." Last August, ProPublica & @documented.net obtained 14 hours of the videos, which covered everything from passing new regulations to rooting out left-wing language:
