MEN IN BELTED SWEATERS

The rage toward the groundhog this year has been worse than I’ve ever seen it. I’ve heard Punxsutawney Phil called sooo many names today, including a “raggedy bitch”, 🤣. People are tired and angry.

So good.

The Nuggets are a terrible defensive rebounding team. It's like watching rec ballers. How do you not box out as a professional?

My Latin speaking peeps: @shadowspar.bsky.social was looking for a good Latin equivalent of "fuck around, find out" and this was my attempt, but I know it's not perfect; who's got better?

Re-upping this in regard to the results out of Texas. We saw them attempt a coup on J6 and the coming midterm L looks pretty sizable (for now), so it doesn't take much imagination to see where their reasoning is headed.

Content warning. Also bonkers.

Welp, folks. Turns out a massive pedophile ring frequented by numerous elites is an excellent basis for extorting political power and bringing down a democratic hegemon.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes though took in college: Formal Logic Emerging Democracies of Central / Eastern Europe Single Philosopher Nietzsche Ancient Egyptian Civilization War and Morality Philosophy / polisci double major, so more classes along these lines.

Y'all...

2020 seems relatively chiller by the day.

I didn’t know jaundice could spread to your clothes

Cleanser.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Much hotter-than-expected US PPI inflation: Monthly PPI inflation for December jumped to 0.5%, significantly above the consensus forecast of 0.2%. Core PPI was even more startling, coming in at 0.7% monthly and pushing the annual core measure to 3.3% (well above the anticipated 2.9%). #Inflation

My friend Jake’s dad got shot in the face with a flashbang by ICE and has to have reconstructive jaw surgery.

I get the reasoning that this is actually clever maneuvering. However: * Still time in play * Chuck doesn't have a great track record * If the GQP is truly scared and on their heels, push harder * You cannot trust the GQP to honor anything

The @theverge.com review of gas masks is pure journalistic gold. www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Some gems down this rabbit hole ☠️

this couple is gonna fuck

Jesus fucking holy hell. This is what you should get loud about. If you have any Republican representatives, call them now -and repeatedly. Do what you can to stop this from passing. This is a nightmare.

My misses from 2025. * Thought the Insurrection Act would have been invoked as early as summer * Thought Iranian regime change would occur with the Israeli/US strikes * Thought tariff impacts on the economy would be seen within ~6 months * Underestimated the Broncos' regular season record

Good morning

The year is 2026. Cheeto Ceausescu uses a nuclear weapon against another country, which in retrospect was a dead giveaway given a large Kalshi bet made a few hours beforehand.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

Chuck is so so weak. Like just...

Looool

As soon as it was clear RFKJR was going to be allowed to run amok, I went and got a measles vaccine update for extra measure. The pharmacist and I had a moment.

Fair.

#CaptainBeefheart 😆 I've heard this story before but it still made me laugh ...

Friendly, periodic reminder that we, too live in an information bubble at Bluesky. The reality on the ground in Trumpistan is different than the snippets floating around on this site.

I don't consider myself an AI extremist in any sense, but this is a profoundly stupid idea.

I remember a coworker of a few decades ago commenting about this, along with the fallout blanketing farmland and making its way into the food supply.

We dedicated much of tonight's program to an in-depth look at what Colorado is doing to prevent - and prepare for - President Trump's violent crackdown by federal forces potentially coming to Colorado. This is a thread of those reports.

High noon at the yawn factory. What's clear by now is that our leaders aren't going to lead. Statements are as far as most are willing to go. It's up to all of us on the ground to lead the way however we can. To strategize, be creative, and make the effort. Follow MN's example. #SISU

What a Super Bowl. Here's to next season 🍻

Look at Walz finally bringing some 🔥

If we just get this kowtowing group of brain slug recipients who have steadfastly refused to do the right thing to do the right thing...

Looking forward to Democrats rolling out social messaging and proceeding to do nothing.

A note as we cheer on the brave folks in MN, including those strategically at the airport. The World Cup is coming up.

Good morning.
