@finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social I’ve always been a fan of “In the Mouth of Madness.” I think it does a better job at being Lovecraftian than most official adaptations. And the kid on the bike still creeps me out.

January 6 in History Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.” And here we are.

She concludes with “We can do better than this.” It would be nice if I could believe that.

And Schrödinger’s Tiny Tim, who both DID and did NOT die,

"...And Tiny Tim, who started to get...tinier, somehow, after being exposed to that weird mist? Well, now he's fighting a spider with a straight pin and anyway this is turning out to be one weird Christmas."

My friend just rescued a cat who had been in a hoarder’s house and then in a shelter’s cage for five months. Came home today. I haven’t wanted to hug something more in my entire life than I want to hug Bob.

I've never lived so close to a What Are We Even Doing Here real estate listing, and I am here, gifting you this experience, make sure to open the pictures www.redfin.com/MI/Ann-Arbor...

“.. We have shattered the halo that has existed around the United States for much of the world across the eight decades since World War II .. closing our doors to the world’s brightest .. by embracing corruption in government ..” @vermontgmg.bsky.social www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/donald-tru...

Just impeach the motherfucker already.

Kinda funny how QAnon was dead right about their central concept, and spectacularly wrong about EVERY SINGLE DETAIL.

So, the big twist is that the person we all thought was the monster turned out to have been the monster all along.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Anita X. Orcist is a smokeshow! #svengoolie

The New Zoo Revue is coming right at you motherfuckers!

TFW you're sent to AIHR for using AI at work

Worth reposting

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

I had some thoughts about people saying that "debate me bro" trolling is somehow the height of democratic discourse.

Just cancelled my Disney+ subscription. I’d been a subscriber from the start. I can’t do much to protest the #jimmykimmel cancellation, but I can do this.

oh well, onward and upward

I remember a bunch of performative patriotism leading up to everyone giving up their rights so we could go fight the Saudis enemies for them.

Gotta give him credit. He talked the talk…and walked the walk.

I assume that we’re going to be just as upset about the school kids who were shot today. We’re not? Okay.

I really think we oughta be talking more about the fact that the President straight-up murdered a boat full of people.

Curse me for feeling the glimmer of a possibility of a chance of hope, and for lying awake half the night thinking about what that might mean for the world. Instead, it’s just more of the Same Stupid Shit.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

I can tell by looking at him that his mitochondria are all f**ked up.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

This too

@wcia3news.bsky.social Really? “Imprisoned Epstein ex-girlfriend?” Way to bury the lede. “Convicted sex-trafficker” is fewer characters and far, far more accurate.

When you lose Nick Fuentes Nick Fuentes to Trump: "Fúck you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny... This entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right we will see Trump as a scam artist."

“You know how Trump rose to power? BY BEING A F—KING KOOK … every day. … So embrace your inner kook and scream RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES at everyone …. The longer this story sticks around, the harder it becomes to ignore. That’s why Trump wants everyone to shut up.” www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

I am so fucking disgusted by my country.

Not sure whether this is a movie trailer or a preview of 2026. youtu.be/KD18ddeFuyM?...

HAS THE IMPEACHMENT STARTED JUST CHECKING

@ryannorth.ca Hello, once again I have questions about a comic you wrote, and unlike last time, you actually did write this one! I’m reading Fantastic Four #32, and I’m confused. I have a cursory knowledge of the FF, but I’m not steeped in their lore. 1/3

@ryannorth.ca Was this just a misdirect? I thought we were going to find out that an evil entity (slightly more evil, at least) was masquerading as Pulaski in issue 8, but if there was anything there, I missed it. (Though, apparently, Beverly Crusher is still tied up in a trunk.)

As they deploy to LA, each Marine has been instructed to make sure their screenplays are properly formatted and have sympathetic protagonists whose character arcs don't fall apart in the second act.

substack.com/@michaelfano... I LOVE this. 👏🏼👏🏼

NEW: Reagan appointed federal judge William Young takes a torch to Trump's anti-DEI crusade. "Does that mean our policy is homogeneity, inequity and exclusion?” More from @kyledcheney and me in West Wing Playbook, on newsstands now www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Oh, Russell T. Davies, you are a magnificent troll!

@infinata.bsky.social Our local library has a copy of the updated “Women of the Galaxy.” As I flipped though it, I thought that it might be merely performative, but I was struck by how many *significant* female characters are part of Star Wars these days. Dudebros be damned, it’s good to see.

New: “This is not a man who respects the rule of law, nor one who seeks to understand it.” Judge Luttig’s new piece on President Trump and “The End of Rule of Law in America” @judgeluttig.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Serious question: Why should I follow the law? I mean it. Why? The President of the United States doesn't need to. He can break six laws before breakfast, and not face so much as an unkind word from his party. Why shouldn't I follow Der Trumpster's example, and fuck over everyone I can?
