If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

happy ten year anniversary to the "worst year ever"

For future reference

This shit is like the Joker refusing to work with the Red Skull. "I'm a criminal psychopath, but I'm an AMERICAN criminal psychopath!"

I ordered Ingrid a kitchen bowl from this ceramics place in town, and paid, and then didn't hear from the place. I waited a couple of weeks, but with Christmas coming I wanted to know if they'd fulfill before Dec. 24th. So I emailed them for an update, and didn't hear back.

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

There's a line from Braveheart where William Wallace describes the rain as falling "almost straight down" as fine Scottish weather. The snow here has been falling almost horizontally for four hours.

I'm going to shovel every two hours until the snow stops or my back gives out.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

There was this short film I saw thirty years back where a driver is distracted by a young woman at the roadside and doesn't see her toddler brother run out into the street. The child is killed and the driver is wracked with guilt. The family publicly forgives him but also hires a lawyer.

Here is another org that can desperately use your help. If a non-citizen get kidnapped by ICE here, regardless of status, they are flying them out of the state as soon as the can. Legal representation can be the difference between seeing your family again, or, given conditions in TX, life and death.

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

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

Timeline cleanse.

As Pratchett said:

Wait, Rachel "Heated Rivalry" Reid is Rachelle Goguen?!

Post a game you remember playing that no one else remembers

When "Pearls Before Swine" debuted on the comics page, there was a testimonial from Scott Adams about how it was a great strip, the next big thing. Therein, Adams refers to great cartoonists such as himself and SPARKY GODDAMN SCHULZ as benchmarks that Stefan Pastis might one day achieve.

Sunny days

"The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state." —William J. Brennan Jr., joined by White, Blackmun, Stevens, & Marshall, Houston v. Hill, 1987

Whenever I see a celebrity hawking some sports betting app or platform, I assume they have a degenerate gambling problem and have to appear in this commercial to pay off their gambling debts

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Read this comic, tell your friends, you will like it!!! and if you don’t like it, idk man. it was free. read it on the toilet. I know you’re looking at your phone while you’re on the toilet anyway, maybe look at this for a while

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

No notes.

I was told electing a progressive prosecutor would inevitably lead to a rise in crime. share.inquirer.com/gjgwFN

Things like student loan debt is great, because it puts workers into massive debt before going into the workforce, which gives capitalists leverage over us. But really it doesn't go far enough. We should just be born with debt. Babies have been getting off scot-free for far too long.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

Here's a particularly juicy nugget I found in my reporting . . .

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Me watching the Lutnick segment on Fox News: "This Lutnick seems like an idiot. I wonder what his position is in the government." Me, moments later: "Oh no. Oh God. Oh God no."

And my personal favorite, which I say to this fucking day: You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Have fun stormin' th' castle Y'wanna see a dead body I'll have what she's having You can't handle the truth

"A reminder that we are living creatures that need rest - and need each other - is one of the most profound gifts our forebears have given us. We are living in an increasingly stupid world, where such rituals have wonder-working power. [...]

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

The #XPNCountdown is over! The results show a lot of people are my age and share my musical tastes, except in a few shocking omissions: My 1, their 248. Baby, Now That I’ve Found You - Allison Krauss and Union Station. My 2, their 402. Everybody Knows - Concrete Blonde

I can't watch the Krypto part of the Supergirl trailer without thinking of @alexrobinson.bsky.social 's Box Office Poison

While the #XPNcountdown is wrapping up, the REAL countdown is underway until Dec 24 when I takeover @wxpnfm.bsky.social for 24 nonstop live hours during my 33rd annual edition of The Night Before on XPN! #XPNTNB 🎄🎅
