A dog on your lap when it’s cold outside is a real treat.

Republicans hate anything that serves the public good

Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

Steve Tuck’s new book just arrived. Can’t wait to read it

Literally all this dude wants is for people to give him endless stupid awards and tell him how good and brilliant he is, doesn’t matter who, doesn’t matter if the awards are fake. Just gold stuff for the very special boy while he wrecks the world

An arial view of the capitol 1950. Austin looks like a sleepy, pastoral, bucolic burg, doesn't it? Hardly any traffic! Little did folks sitting out on their porches drinking lemonade or ice tea on a drowsy Sunday afternoon suspect what a metropolis it would become. From the Austin History Center.

There it is. Today, Greg Abbott got what he wanted all along: he cheated Texas voters out of real representation in Congress to rig the game for his friends.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

The explicit rationale DOJ told TX to use, which Abbot & co. then did, is that you can have a district where white + black voters, or white + Hispanic voters, or white/black/Hispanic on their own, constitute a majority, but not a black + Hispanic majority. That's how facially discriminatory it is.

Nobody involved in this should draw a free breath for the rest of their lives

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

I named my fists “Groucho” and “Chico” because they’re gonna leave Marx.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

“The Catholic Church has publicly supported the two-state solution for several years. We all know that, at the moment, Israel still does not accept this solution. But we see it as the only one capable of offering a resolution to the conflict they continue to endure.” — Pope Leo XIV

“What Child is This” is my favorite Christian Christmas song. I don’t have a favorite secular, but “Wonderful Christmastime” is by far my most hated

Texas: we’re gonna start running this way Texas A&M: easy, yeah, got it Texas: …but then we go THIS way Texas A&M: SHIT

Picked this up in Fayetteville this week. Fox Trail has upped their whiskey game. Much better than their previous offerings.

not sure how i'm supposed to be taking the Star Wars movie ranking discourse seriously when Wrath of Khan doesn't seem to have made ANY of the major lists

NEW: Peter Thiel, JD Vance’s top donor and one of Silicon Valley’s most powerful men, recently called Pope Leo XIV a tool of the Antichrist — and directly told the vice president not to listen to him.

Do you know/think the Soviets ever tried to use your Orthodoxy as a means to work for them, @radiofreetom.bsky.social?

Joy is important.

If the trophy is carried around upside down, does that mean the winner gets to play with other teams?

#BREAKING: Just hours after Texas asked #SCOTUS to pause Tuesday’s ruling that had blocked its new House congressional district maps, Justice Alito has issued a temporary “administrative” stay pausing that ruling (and putting the new maps back into place) while the full Court considers next steps:

Wondering how you’re feeling, @gregjenner.bsky.social, going into Sunday. #COYS

Excuse to post a classic?

In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.
