I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Cuteness overload!

Day 3 of #ArtAdventCalendar: It's always hard to find the perfect tree-topper, but I think I've done it! #wildlife

They all hate him. He has never been a likable person, not even remotely.

lol, this is great! the-beaverton.myshopify.com/products/hea...

Shameful!!

Speak for yourself. Tech Bros own the Republican political class. #AI must be heavily regulated. They are pursuing a horribly eco wasteful approach to AI. NO ONE should have the wealth and political power they've accumulated through unethical business practices. Unregulated capitalism is inhumane.

🇨🇦🍁 #HandmaidsTale author #Atwood says could happen in the #us, without the outfits. But has #hope b/c #americans are 'ornery'. So keep on being ornery about the orange blunderbus! #elbowsup #never51 #CanadaStrong #culture #books #tv #democracy #totalitarianism www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Caturday

Ah. Many of us were wondering what the deal was here. The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was reportedly engaged in a nasty years-long custody battle with the White House press secretary’s brother before she was detained by ICE last month. newrepublic.com/post/204059/...

Not okay.

A boy and his potato…

“At the end of March, when a family member was still hospitalized following a breakdown, Brisson launched The Human Line Project, a support group for what he calls ‘the victims of AI from around the world.’” thelogic.co/news/the-big...

Netflix getting Warner Bros. is bad for art, but right-wing oligarchs not getting it is bad for fascism. The Ellisons already got Paramount and Fox-ified CBS, plus a big stake in TikTok USA and more. On balance, avoiding more Orban-style media consolidation is a good outcome. Such are the times.

That's 👇shocking, not. When Ron DeSantis rounded up legal immigrants in Texas and shipped them off to Martha's Vineyard, the entire GOP, and millions of "moderates and independents" cheered it on. That was evidence right there a huge chunk of the American people support ethnic cleansing.

"Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, has also warned that far from being a lame duck, Trump “doesn’t care who he burns” as he tears down the country to stay in power." https://www.salon.com/2025/12/02/sorry-trump-isnt-a-lame-duck-yet/

This is monstrous. Hegseth ordering troops to "kill them all" and strike survivors isn't just a war crime, it's the brutal logic of an unchecked regime. We are watching authoritarianism unfold, with the left as the last line of defense for human rights and the rule of law. 1/2
