What is a comic book costume you know is terrible but you love it anyways?

The absolute accuracy of this.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

The thing that's really convenient to not know is that nonprofits like Feeding Our Future exist because the nutrition reimbursement program is so burdensome IN THE NAME OF REDUCING FRAUD that a cottage industry exists just to fill out the paperwork on behalf of programs that actually feed children.

these guys are conservative, but, *get this*, they *also* have a narrow and hierarchical conception of masculinity!

The Boat Street Cafe was a little restaurant that served provincial French cuisine. I was having dinner with my now-wife and, watching her enjoy her food, I realized I was in love with her. She had pork with blackberry sauce. I had Normandy Chicken.

Will be on the lookout for confirmation of this.

Whoa whoa whoa buddy who is this Jesus Christ you’re expecting me to emulate and what exactly did you say happened to him.

"Everyone thinks you're an idiot, therefore you must be a truth-telling genius!"

Thank you . People hate the idea of this because it means that them being bystanders actually has consequences

Please don't ask me why my brain works like this, because I don't have an answer

If all you're willing to do is say "We're cooked" on a social media site, maybe it is all over. If you're willing to struggle alongside your friends and neighbors for democracy, then we've got a chance.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

You wouldn’t let someone this confused drive a car, let alone operate heavy machinery.

People in Minneapolis don't like it when secret police come into their city to kill and brutalize them, people in rural areas think it's great. Somehow, this is a problem that Minneapolis is supposed to make amends for.

Seems like calling the president a "pedophile protector" is really lucrative, more people should probably try it.

Some emails take hours to write.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well. I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III. (Gifted.) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Following David's lead, I also posted on FB and was surprised by the positive response. Spread the word about what's happening here. People want to know.

Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the "Infect Your Device With ICE Malware" bill to help federal government infect the phones of pro-democracy protesters.

Veronica Mars dropped on Netflix as of ten minutes ago. I'm going to start the pilot to see if we get the longer dvd version or the shortened one that was on Hulu for years.

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

I remember when the line was you can’t vote for Democrats because they would come and take your guns, stoves, etc. It’s always projection

Authentic NYC-style pizza is the best.

We are now on DAY EIGHT of the NYT falling all over themselves because they did ONE SINGLE INTERVIEW with known liar Trump. I'm starting to think maybe they are just phenomenally lazy, if they think four people doing one interview is extraordinary work www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/i...

I assume this godawful company logo is deliberately meant to go viral to spread word about their company.

Immense skill issue to not have found this immediately obvious in 2016

I know very little about the animated version--and my wife knows absolutely nothing--but this looks like our kind of wacky.

I genuinely wonder whether Kamala Harris would be President today if Joe Biden had made NYT feel special. This may be about the 10th story on this interview, probably the 4th or 5th that's largely about "NYT LOOK AT US!!!!" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Even if you assume the creation of these nudes is something our legal system isn’t yet equipped to deal with, profiting off them seems like clear fraud. And surely the distribution of revenge porn runs afoul of SOME existing laws. Aspects of this surely are prosecutable

It's been a long while since I lived there, but it's one of the US's great cities. :)

This is accurate, but also feels backwards, which is a little bit odd to say. There are a LOT of complicated factors Involved in this, but one of the weirdest and most disruptive is a sense that RPGs are an unwelcome activity, *even while doing them*.

Hey, we played DEATHMATCH ISLAND and then wrote about it! You can and should read our fine, fair words. #ttrpg

This is why they could never make me hate you, Emily Henry.

ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10.
