Belatedly realizing it's my first Caturday without Smokey in more than 10 years.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

So there’s a website called Deer Of St Nicholas which posts Christmas wish letters from Ukrainian children who had their childhood stolen by the war, anyone can pick a child and get them their present and it’s that time of the year again to achingly scroll it for hours again

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

people keep calling sandwich guy a "hero" but it's actually spelled "gyro"

I'm helping my friend @nrodovsky.bsky.social with a GoFundMe for her cat, Smokey. She's received the news nobody wants, and is asking for help with his vet bills and end of life care. Thank you for whatever you can share. 💗 gofund.me/6aea55263

It was me. I ruined the workplace. I am like SO sorry. I sent all your wives evidence of your multiple affairs and grindr logins. I found out where you were stealing from the accounts and secretly recorded you telling racist jokes to the new guys. Big yikes on the video of you stealing my lunchables

Study shows safety and efficacy of RSV, Flu, COVID vaccines A systematic review published in the New England Journal of Medicine confirmed the safety and effectiveness of COVID, RSV, and seasonal flu vaccines for all ages. Analyzing 511 studies, the review found significant vaccine effectiveness…

This is my favorite. GOUDA, NOT GUNS.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

NOT GUILTY. Justice served hot and fresh! Jury not convinced by supercop hamming on stand.

Sandwhich thrower gluten freed! ...okay I'm done.

@we-rate-cats.bsky.social This is my sweet boy, Smokey, who needs help with medical care: www.gofundme.com/f/smokey-and...

This is my baby.

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Alerting all New Yorkers to go outside and look up

A thing I love in these terrible times - how much Chicago, New York, LA are all loving on each other other in a way that has not been historically true

Okay NOT to be mistaken for Sandwich Guy, but it's still good news: www.kxly.com/news/federal...

Kinda feel bad for the DJ in this situation…but not so much that it keeps me from enjoying the schadenfreude.

as we watch results roll in, senate dems are considering caving to Trump is exchange for...fuck all, literally nothing. if they do so, my health care premiums would go up 50%, everyone's health insurance would be locked into a death spiral, and the health care delivery system would collapse.

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

HIDE THE KETCHUP!

Politically savvy American friend just used the ts word! ‘This is a tsunami.’ I’ll add that there is a large but profoundly due measure of tsuris* for the GOP. * Yiddish … ‘trouble or woe; aggravation.’

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

The National Guard and Marines left Los Angeles but the paramilitary assault on the city never ended. And sadly gets ignored in a lot of the national conversation.

On this #godzilladay, a reminder that I wrote a kaiju novel set in Mexico.

Was Patel just trying to distract attention from stories about how he abused an FBI jet for travel with his girlfriend? Yup.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Critically important journalism

My new wheelchair tires are here!!! ...Which is appropriate given how much of a roller coaster October was.

Some linguistic reflections for Día de Muertos.

Update: The Salvation Army will lay off 135 employees in Denver at the end of the year, two months after the organization announced it would no longer run three city homeless shelters in former hotels.

Please pray for my cat Smokey, tomorrow will be the third vet visit in 10 days and he's only drunk once today.
