it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Someone trained Google Gemini Pro on "69 Love Songs" lyrics, and for that and that only, I salute them

Simply Having A wonderful

“When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of ‘gold standard’ reputation for a single week of political quiet.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Amazing

The last time NHL teams latched onto a something popular that involved hockey, a bunch of players and their wives got stalked and harassed so this seems par for the course

They need more time to “both sides” a fucking concentration camp

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

Seattle sewer rats are just celebrating the holidays.

Hot rat summer gives way to wet rat winter

#ShowMeYourKnits - yeah,ni have nothing white but I did have neon bright!

Pope Leo I have the solution for you and it’s to call Whoopi Goldberg and make the third one and pay these adorable old ladies for the rights to their story, I know you saw the other two, I know you watch movies

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

I somehow missed that Dan Savage was on Bluesky now. If you missed the memo, consider this your reminder that Dan Savage is a racist transphobe who has allied himself with Jesse Singal (!) and written racist screeds attacking Black people while dismissing the racism of white gays.

Beautiful and so hard to read. The author lost a son to a fentanyl OD and I lost my brother to the same. I re-read Tolkien a lot that year. It's always been what I turn too when grief is too much.

I knew the Reiner family tragedy would lead people to say some fucked up things about people living with addiction, but it's still hard to see that stuff. If you've lived with an addiction or loved someone who does or has, you know cruel generalizations don't help anyone or anything.

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

the title of this frog photograph goes unexpectedly hard

just an fyi for portland ppl, this ursula exhibition is going on until february, it's free, and has a ton of her maps. plan for spending over an hour if you really want to take it all in www.oregoncontemporary.org/a-larger-rea...

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

Nation Just Kinda Assumed Pacific Northwest Always Lived in Giant Puddle Like That: tinyurl.com/bdh393s4

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

I have never seen anyone murder a man, looking right in his eyes, and get away with it, quite like this. And get a nervous laugh. It’s one thing to do this from a stage when you’re emceeing an awards show, but one on one? Ice cold, license-to-kill shit.

RAINING AGAIN.

Suzanne Collins doing some top tier marketing for Sunrise on the Reaping

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

A Lord of the Rings cover band called The Lonely Mountain Goats.

I have a 6am meeting tomorrow and I'm still waiting for the bus home but seeing @pwhltorrent.bsky.social win was worth it.

Feels like 37 F is too cold. I left Michigan because it's too cold. Torrent better win tonight because leaving blanket piles is a huge sacrifice.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

How is this happening again?

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal. Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

weakly: “tha’s illega”

rewriting a more realistic script for The Lord of the Rings. Frodo just stays home and we watch thirteen hours of him cooking meals and reading books. every hour or so he glances at a newspaper and goes, "Oh shit what's happening in Rohan? That's fucked." Then he goes to the pub to drink with Sam.

I could be this local woman.

One tree limb down in our yard (no damage to anything) and no sleep last night (dog does not approve of wind noises) but otherwise made it thru all the weather. Just so much weather in Washington.

I live in Seattle because I like rain but this is too much.

Holy crap!

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

Fundraiser in Seattle to provide safe propane equipment for the unhoused just tryna survive another winter

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

In strong winds I have a background fear that the large douglas fir will fall onto the house. We've had a lot of rain in the PNW and we're getting 40-50mph winds tonight. So that's fun.

This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

the good that you do persists in this world

Fuck 2025

Where are my Dark is Rising mutuals at
