they're doing it for gender, imo

this is so fuckin funny man. the most powerful person in the world made a sweeping declaration of american policy and it was almost immediately obvious that it was completely at odds with reality. why is everyone fixated on that www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/u...

TRUMP: We were prepared to do a second strike if we needed. We're still prepared Q: That's off the table now? TRUMP: No it's not. If they don't behave, we will do a second strike Q: Will Americans troops be on the ground? TRUMP: It depends

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

This should exist in every city in the country.

Now he’s talking about how he doesn’t like or respect his generals, directly into saying he … did a direct attack on sovereignty

Ok, I promise this will be my last dystopian post of the day! (Although I have been known to break promises) A very real possibility, given a recent history of threats, is that he will now invade Greenland.

If you use Apple Pay/Google Pay on your phone, please take a moment to read about the digital wallet fraud con trick. This explains how to recognise the con and what to do. Tl;dr - never trust calls from the bank, ring them. (H/T @paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.social) www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

I think the current admin's vision of the future is a new Empire Age, which means invasion and conquest in order to pillage resources. It means global destabilization. It means no safety for any nation or people.

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

The Penguins and Red Wings game is SUPPOSED to be on national TV right now. Instead, a bunch of criminals are bragging on TV about committing a crime.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

A conspiracy theory that just might not be a conspiracy or a theory.

Venezuela’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez said the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro are unknown and demanded 'proof of life'

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Besides, how stupid this is and how unethical this is. Is there anyone in any party who wants resume change in South America? Like who is this for?

Am I...am I understanding correctly that while we were sleeping the Trump administration attacked Venezuela and kidnapped its president and is saying Venezuela's president (and *not the US president, never that, no) is going to stand trial for crimes

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

This KTVU piece about Oakland's 2 years of plunging crime rates has interviewees grasping at straws. The police union president acknowledges the safety gains despite very low OPD staffing levels, but then tries to take credit for the improvements anyway. youtu.be/1AFjANKJEos?...

Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Better year I can feel it

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

CLOSING OUT 2025 WITH A WIN 🥳 #LGRW (+ all the love for our Head Athletic Trainer Piet VanZant celebrating game 2500)

I like that we don’t know if El is alive or not. The gang has to tell themselves a story to cope with the uncertainty b/c they’re adults now and that’s life.

Outlook for the new year ...

The last 30 minutes was the best written part of this entire season. Was this a better ending than GOT - yes very much. Was it good -still no.

Completely forgot about max and Vickie

Episode 8 should’ve been episode 2 of this season or introduced back in season 2 or 3.

So much standing and talking.

Holly is mvp though. Basically Mike 2. Someone said Mike should’ve been taken and had Holly’s role and I agree.

The writing is so bad omg. The best dialogue so far this episode was the talk between Johnathon and Steve.

Hopper should’ve died in season 3.

The RAM situation is getting to a point where it’s now affecting gaming companies but mfs think PC won’t be affected?!

Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share

It's important to remember that whilst Williams had a good year, the team barely makes more money than Haas. It's still a small operation, albeit smoother now. #F1

the surveillance state has done irreparable damage 🥴 everyone acts like a cop 😭

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Racism is so boring that they’re out here trying to invent racism 2

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025
