Does anybody have a good recording of the original album version of "Keep Christmas With You" from SESAME STREET? The one from before they replaced Northern Calloway's vocals with Kevin Clash as Hoots the Owl? @kenplume.bsky.social ? @brianjayjones.com ?

Want a vote to impeach Trump? Bondi? Patel? Make a committee investigate or draft articles for you? Appoint managers Johnson doesn't want? Repeat after me: "Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of Rule IX, I rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the privileges of the House."

Why would telling the truth about Epstein ever hurt American foreign policy? That’s the wrong question. Brad Sherman raised it, and people should notice. It doesn’t matter who’s named. If the law requires release, release the files. #CA32 #EpsteinFiles

The other fun thing about reading something that I wrote a long time ago is that I forgot how I solved some problems. Like, the story involves the Wrecking Crew, and I genuinely had no idea how the Avengers stopped three out of the four of them. And I was pleasantly surprised by the solutions!

Well They already fucked up Bates number 4236. That's a redacted picture of Ivanka Trump. So either Ivanka was an Epstein VICTIM or the DOJ broke the law and over-redacted.

The Donald J. Trump and Ruth's Chris Steak House

Someone tell AOC to run for Governor PLEASE! I wanna see if she can play statewide and I don't mean in three years.

a sequel: cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

I'm re-reading a spec script that I wrote for "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" back in 2012. The cold open features Stilt Man, and I'm reading him with the voice of Peter MacNichol. Yeah, I know he was Dr. Octopus. He can be two guys.

The male loneliness epidemic explained truthfully: the patriarchy lied to you. It only exists to uplift a few powerful men. (It intersects w/white supremacy too.) For you & for most men, it’s a series of rules that keep your life small & keep your attitude something women don’t wanna be around.

Another example of how Guardian Australia and Guardian US are polar opposites of their parent when it comes to coverage of trans issues. A very good article Archive link for people who don't want to give them clicks archive.ph/2025.12.19-1...

democrats: we cant do stuff cause tradition and the parliamentarian republicans: we just do whatever democrats: and we vote for their nominees, too

1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

Between this and the “kids are faking learning disabilities to get extra time on exams!” moral panic, it looks like they’re manufacturing consent for an attack on accommodations of all sorts.

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

I really hope the French translators get together and agree that the going rate for fixing AI translation is 1.5x the cost to do the translation in the first place.

I try to tell folks that the biggest problem with welfare isn't fraud, it's means testing. But people are addicted to voting for politicians who actively go out of their way to bring more and more austerity and screw everyone over in the long term that isn't a rich asswipe.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

It's just so unbelievable that Russian can remain a threat to democracy in 2025 when we all saw the entire Soviet Union collapse over 30 years ago. This is a post about THE FORCE AWAKENS.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love. Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Love this thread

I acknowledge that I was brain-poisoned by The West Wing, but the scene in which President Bartlet says to the Designated Lone Survivor "Do you have a best friend? Are they smarter than you? That's your Chief of Staff." sticks in my head at moments like this.

OK, not for nothing, but Brad Sherman's voice does NOT match his body. Dude's got a Patrick Warburton voice coming out of an Arnold Stang face...

Brad Sherman’s telephone town hall shows up as a forced voicemail during dinner—begging you to call in because nobody wants to. Robotic. Outdated. And the reaction? “Is that the airplane guy?” Thirty years in office and that iPad moment still sticks. #CA32 #GoonerBrad

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Lawn darts only killed one kid before they were banned. Meta has killed 36. www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

You know there’s no limit on the number of times that articles of impeachment can be brought, right? You know there’s no time constraints about when you can bring them, right? There is absolutely NO MORAL, LEGAL OR LOGICAL REASON for Dems to have voted against or “present” on an impeachment. NONE.

The look Americans get when it’s announced we’re invading Venezuela instead of getting healthcare

🎵 Pathetic little fat man No one's bloody laughing The clown that no one laughs at They all just wish he'd die 🎵

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil. Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?

"My life has been an amazing journey...See you out somewhere in the cosmos.” Farewell to Gil Gerard (1943-2025) — star of BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY. #GilGerard #FilmSky

"Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, hello. I'm California Governor Gavin Newsom, and I am currently under the delusion that I might be President one day. I'd like you all to take notice, please."

The REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED House of Representatives, that is.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

It's December in Los Angeles and we're in the second straight week of the weather bring sunny, clear, low 80s. I fucking hate it.

Happy Beethoven's Birthday, everybody!

Fuck me. Everybody's been talking so much about Rob Reiner's movies that I completely forgot about "Morton & Hayes"! Have you watched "Morton & Hayes"? You should watch "Morton & Hayes". It's brilliant. The doughnut bit? Priceless. youtu.be/tt1bqOiEvsM?...

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

James Talarico: There are 2 billionaires in Texas, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, who basically run our state government. Most Texans don't even know their names, but every GOP member of the state Senate has taken their money. They use that influence to shift our state into a far-right direction.

Also, it looks like Build-A-Figures are now the exception rather than the rule.

Look, the GOP has been the party for bad people who make everything worse for my entire adult life, but there has not previously been a simple and straightforward argument under conventional legal principles that several high ranking members of the administration are murderers.

So, Marvel Legends is doing an assortment based on the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine". It'll hit shelves a year-and-a-half after the movie was in theaters. It took more than TWO years for them to make an assortment based on "Spider-Man: No Way Home". 1/2

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

I saw this when I was 10 years old, and it benefitted me greatly. youtu.be/LaVM2XG4wvE?...

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.
