By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

Elon Musk has died. His last words were "@grok please administer me a lethal dose of child pornography." A cause of death is not currently known.

so basically our rich oligarchs launched a racist propaganda media campaign to demonize taxpayer-funded childcare, our garbage oligarch press parroted the attack, and now they're going to steal that money to put into their assorted cryptocurrency grifts

great journalism means ascribing reliable narrator headline status to an algorithmic parrot built by pedophile white supremacists

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Part 140 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg Roman anthropomorphic dice in the form of squatting figures. The silver dice work much like conventional dice, with their various sides numbered with 1 to 6 dots. 1st century CE

There are cathedrals everywhere

The corporate media continues to minimize elite complicity in this administration’s cruel policies. This is not a nameless Ninja Turtle. This is Michaelangelo. Name and shame these guys!

Rest in peace you absolute legend of an artist

I think about this a lot

Very sad to say it seems Mike Fossey, aka Mike F. has died. Truly one of the funniest posters of all time and a talented artisan. Had been friends online for many years, but I got to hang out a couple times at shows in Boston and he was funny and sweet in real life too.

Took my favorite Christmas present from Gertrude, polka dot suspenders, out for a spin this AM. Wore them to Target while I bought my monthly supply of Ensure. Some local youths approached me and, pointing at the suspenders, asked: "why you so goofy, Unc?" Here's why that's a problem for The Left:

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

These guys are so lost in the sauce that they don't even qualify as human at this point. The singularity already happened a few years ago without us realizing it.

The "lost the rest of my barbershop quartet" guy thinks it's his politics that keep the roles away

youngkin brought back a Jim Crow-era policy of voter disenfranchisement under him, Virginia became the *only* state to practice the harsh rule that anyone with any felony conviction ought to remain barred from voting for life boltsmag.org/virginia-gov...

2022 was an amazing time

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

The American girl doll my in laws gave my daughter for Christmas looks like Bobby Hill

Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728: 每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳， 一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。 I set money aside for fish before each meal. She used to be no bigger than my hand -- Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat, And drowses by her humans on her mat.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is on Prime Video so that’s my day sorted. If you enjoyed Arrested Development, you’d like it

I’ll be attending a local brewery’s “British New Year’s Eve” event: a clever gambit that allows for a 5pm to 8pm schedule in the Eastern US time zone and what I assume will be some cross between Arrested Development’s Wee Britain and this iconic photo

Hey journalists can we make 2026 the year of Not Taking Billionaire Claims As Scientific Predictions The Market, Nay, Western Civilization Itself, Can Rely On Sure In The Knowledge Such Titans Would Never Lead Us Astray

DOJ official Todd Blanche promised to dump his crypto holdings no later than 90 days after his Senate confirmation in March. But about a month into the job — before divesting — he ordered an end to investigations into crypto companies. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social @shaw.al
