BREAKING: NORAD is reporting and the US Southern Command confirms Santa’s sleigh has been shot down by US military assets off the coast of Venezuela

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files. n.pr/4pO8hXB

By the way, folks. RNA vaccines ROCK!!

Just cleaned about 1/4 inch of detritus off the kid’s iPad screen. That this just went from SD to HD with a bit of Windex.

weiss does not know how to run a news organization, and so she's doing what she does best: hosting fatuous "debates" involving the people in her group chats www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

This is pretty fucking grim. Is it just a tin of vodka diluted to 8%

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

I love to read @dieworkwear.bsky.social. I especially appreciate his steadfast commitment to both menswear and affordable housing.

Kiddo woke up and wanted to play outside (despite it being low 30s). I bundle us up, get outside, and wait for him to realize it’s too cold out. Fast forward 90 minutes, and I’m out here watching literal videos of ice melting.

When history looks back on today evangelical Christians will say that the Trump supporters weren’t real Christians. They’ll distance themselves. They’ll make apologies for what their denominations did. All the while continuing to cause harm in a different way.

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

I asked the pediatrician about this vaccine. I get why it's important from a public health standpoint, e.g. not every mom is hep b tested. But I know I don't have heb b, so why is it important for my baby? The answer: babies can get hep b later! It's not just needles/sex, they can get it at daycare

This seems about right.

this book comes out on Tuesday and I'm proud of it -- I think it's a good read. admittedly, it has fewer pornographic film titles in it than "Devil House" did, but that's a high bar to clear. buy a copy at your local or get it here: thisyearbook.com

Democrat Aftyn Behn is on the brink of winning a special election in Tennessee’s deep-red 7th congressional district—leading GOP Republicans and even President Trump into a frantic last-minute attack. A victory here would continue an upward trend for Democrats on the local level. trib.al/FJCmYvj

I'm really upset by all the articles I'm seeing that treat him like he's not a murderous psycho

My son’s dinner tonight. For the record, he turned down filet, baked potato, and Lima beans in favor of 3 bites apiece out of 8 different apples.

Bed beard

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

we have an album coming out tomorrow and there's a song called "Fishing Boat" and we made a fishing boat shirt and I love it www.hellomerch.com/products/sea...

Tonight, as I put my 4yo to bed, he asked, “even though you’re not too strong and very tired, would you punch a school bus to save me?”

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.

Fun to watch the sun set in the backyard after the workweek is done.

Pajama Day! I didn’t know pre-k did Spirit Days for the High school Homecoming, but alas…

May his memory be a blessing? 🙄

It's just a uniform update.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

After years of research, no study has shown that acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, causes autism. There’s no known single cause of autism, a neurological condition that influences how someone acts and communicates. (From @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/3ItUo0a

Man… Charlie Kirk… thoughts & prayers I guess? 🤷‍♂️

lol

Shep tonight after his mother and I told him he had to go to bed: “You can’t tell me what to do, I’m too… (long pause)… TINY!”

Bread!!

Shep has taken his mom’s purse, emptied the contents, and is filling it with “treasure.” This is a surprise he’s 100% confident that mom will absolutely love. I asked if maybe mom would prefer her keys and wallet over a rubber octopus and several wooden blocks. He sees it differently.

"I even gave my life to Christ in a Cracker Barrel parking lot" is an Action Bronson line

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: not a damn thing. I’ll talk about the weather if that’s all you’ve got. That said, I like Aesop Rock, The Mountain Goats, The National, etc. I like to watch movies and eat cheese & crackers. I drink unsweetened tea during the day, and Earl Grey in the AM.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social this reminded me of what I get out of your posts. Also, would love your take on Tolkein’s attire in this photo.
