hey if you need a movie rec, "Cactus Pears" might be my favorite movie of 2025

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship. We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.

everything I know about Stephen A Smith I have learned completely non-voluntarily

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation. I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift. Thank you for your attention to our delusions.

Hard to argue with facts.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood. They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

I wonder if a lot of the US athletes at the Winter Games will be doing whatever the Trump-era Winter Games version of this is:

Where we are as a country

A mutual aid organizer in Minneapolis told us that Ilhan Omar pops in to help with the foodbank. No press, no photos, she just shows up and asks the organizers where she should pitch in.

Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins

SPECIFICALLY that moment around 1:52 where she looks at the audience and is like I GOT THIS GET INTO IT. queen shit I LIVE for this The short programs were SO GOOD

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

holy shit this just made me really emotional

HARD KNOCKS by me (Ruby Lang) has hockey and is written by someone who's Asian Canadian (and has an Asian Canadian FMC) rubylangwrites.com/practice-per...

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

The digital editor of the National Catholic Reporter has written the most cogent and hard-hitting critique of JD Vance I've ever read, worth a thousand couch jokes www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

Governor I was not familiar with your game

my second grader is *obsessed* with everything dave pikey does. our house is overflowing with captain underpants and dog man and all the spin-offs www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/b...

"Our latest administration has helped so much" Yikes

there are a lot of awful people in Congress but Randy Fine is really a top-tier contender

thinking of Viola Liuzzo and Heather Heyer today

Charlottesville, remember Heather Heyer

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

okay I know this isn't the important thing right now but AMBER GLENN

As someone who struggled to get back into reading outside of work and parenting (mental load, emotional exhaustion, etc) - I’ll add - start anywhere. Read anything! Read something easy and pleasurable Read for 5 minutes today and 6 minutes tomorrow Make it fun and easy until you want more

I will take a movie or tv show, thank you www.them.us/story/usa-ca...

finally some fucking diplomacy

You guys can't be mad at the illiterate for fucking the country up and then refuse to read books yourselves That's all I'm saying

I've never encountered a Joyce Carol Oates book I actually liked but her Twitter account more than makes up for that.

We really should consider an exorcism of the White House the Capitol and the Supreme Court at a minimum when all of this is over. This is only half tongue in cheek.

Fun fact: Episcopal lay theologian William Stringfellow once performed an exorcism on Richard Nixon outside the gates of the White House.

On my annual winter e-break I came to the conclusion that basically every facet of our lives has gotten worse because a majority of people now primarily "live" online and thus only experience the world in the abstract. The loudest voices online/in culture aren't actually living real lives anymore.

This bears repeating pretty much every day until Feb. Yes gyms are suddenly full. Yes that can be inconvenient. Yes people have made resolutions - and most won’t keep them. No resolutions aren’t the same as lifestyle changes. Yes most of those “resolutioners” will be gone by end of January /1

You mean like how we brought freedom to Iraq? You mean like the chemical weapons we found in Iraq? You mean like how we stabilized Afghanistan? You mean like how we ended drugs from Colombia? You mean like how we defeated communism in Vietnam?

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

this is absolutely wild

A whole lotta conservatives VERY concerned about the evils being inflicted upon the poor Venezuelans by a man whom they had never heard of before this year. 🙄

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

mic drop

🎞️ Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon…

If Nostradamus was the 16th C prophet of the 20th C, Erasmus of Rotterdam seems to have had his finger on the pulse of the 21st.

Zohran is already making Regular People's lives harder...

There's another video of people just pulling out their phones and recording as people are crushed to death at the exit instead of grabbing people or doing something to help. It's an even worse bystander effect.

CORRECT.

Hey, just a reminder: Robert Barron might be popular but his theology is atrocious. Like, appallingly repugnant.

I know broadcast TV is basically ignored nowadays but Oliver Wolf and Josh Nichols on "Brilliant Minds" are my "Heated Rivalry" before I watch "Heated Rivalry"

apparently there's a football player named Lane K--- who did something tonight something and I kept reading this as Lane Kim and thought we had some fun Gilmore Girls news but apparently no :(
