This year I’m thankful for Shaggy singing about getting caught banging on the bathroom floor while standing on a golden Turkey wearing a bowler hat with a little Turkey with a bowler hat underneath it

thinking of her today

Man, I hate conceding in the last five minutes of a half. Just really sours a pretty good performance so far

being married is like being an anthropologist of one person in particular, and the field work only ends when one of you dies

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Welcome to the strange

it's that time of year again

BUS RIDES IN CITES SHOULD BE FREE.

Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

They call him Aubrey Huff because my man is on a diet of nothing but turpentine and paint stripper

One of the most brutal things I've ever watched

I’m howling.

Grey Smokey is a pretty badass moniker

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

Ground floor hater. Series A hater. Angel investment hater. I read the napkin the initial pitch for hating Ronaldo was written on and got out my checkbook on the spot. Ten-x moment for the lads here. We’re going to Ibiza on this one.

chatgpt is down, post handmade em dashes

Oh look this is relevant again

you could put Dark Knight and Departed on a back to back 24 hour loop and it would be the most popular cable channel of all time

Reading the second highlighted passage here miraculously cured every bit of imposter syndrome I've ever had. Thank you, Olivia

ICE vs the clergy

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Of the 16 arrestees with criminal histories — or about 2.5% of the 614 people — five involved domestic battery, two were related to drunken driving.” I’d be willing to bet the percentage of ICE/CBP agents with similar records is not very different. Of course they won’t provide names to check.

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens. Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays. Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

Beyond that, the answer to almost all AI shit is "have an imagination." My mom has been gone for 7 years and I talk to her all the time! And in my head, she gives far more accurate responses than any chatbot ever would. This app is offensive to the very concept of being human

I hate being a grump about Christmas music, normally I want to let people like what they like, but 11:06 am on 11/14/25 is way too fucking early to be BLASTING Dominick the Donkey on the outdoor speakers of a pizza place

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Has a tremendous time last night at @lukeoneil47.bsky.social ‘s book launch. It was cathartic to be in a room with likeminded people, hear some amazing writing and feel a little less insane about the world, even just for a night.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate

as much as i disagree with his politics, i do think the next james bond should be adam carolla. interested in hearing everyone else's thoughts though

It's so obvious this guy can't grow a beard and it drives him insane

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

Filling out a banking form that asks for my occupation, and in what I am choosing to consider as a sign of the times, "journalist" is not a selectable option, but "cryptocurrency" is

Google AI is like an Eric Adams quote generator

I've never regularly attended church, but I do listen to "The Body, The Blood, The Machine" by the Thermals weekly, so I think that should count
