What really impresses me is how quick the average online MAGAn flipped on the topic. They went from "RELEASE THE FILES" to "IT IS ALL A HOAX AND TRUMP NEVER SAID THAT" in an instant sometime in August. Of course, now they're having a field day w/ the Clinton photos. Release all the files, worms.

Ya can't complain about daily outrages when they arrive at this frequency. So, here's the latest. While Donnie, Bobby Jr., etc. are loudly performing their own acts of malice, Russ here must be remembered as the architect of America's Diminishment. By design in service to a grotesque worldview.

I'm still relatively new to this cat cohabitation thing, but is there a way to get them to just kill the damn mouse already? This poor mouse has been caught and released a dozen times in the last half hour. The dog? He doesn't care. The last time, the mouse ran over the sleeping dog to get away.

Hey folks, I was curious and just went looking around on Xitter. It is still nuts, mostly bots trying to anger trolls & vice versa—a black hole gorging on raging eyeballs. You're better off here, I'm sure, but practice safe social media, and you might get out of here with some sanity remaining.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Happy birthday, Dick. Some 60 years ago he made the weirdest possible episode of a sitcom youtu.be/BGXtYLps7DA?...

My wife and I got through 2024 thanks to the discovery of UK narrowboating on YouTube (look up Cruising the Cut). So chill. Well, the algorithms found me this, and now I have a new life goal. I'm no boater, but I'm not a bad canudist. Lotsa locks and lochs! youtu.be/603jwQjV8Sw?...

Please boost...people need to see this. 😭💔 A translator in the European Parliament burst into tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman, who miraculously survived the Russian shelling of Vinnytsia 🎞: Radio Liberty

Hey, #PRSky? #CommsSky? (Are either of those things?) I just wanted you to know that Bryn Mawr College has a Vice President for External Relations role that they are abbreviating as VPER, which might be worth it to be known as The Viper. Just don't vipe vindows www.brynmawr.edu/inside/offic...

In 2005, we believed Tech guys were geniuses. In 2025, Tech guys are outing themselves as imbeciles.

Still waiting on America to be affordable again. How bout’ you⁉️ #TrumpLies

We wear fez, drink mulled wine, and watch Trouble with Tribbles while decorating the tree. What do you do?

Christmas shopping and saw this guy. I used to have a robot watch as a kid. It is online for a reasonable price, but I realize that the seller was that LA-based clothing sex pest who started a new and similarly named company. Any ideas where to get one of these that doesn't support jerks?

Thank you, @arstechnica.com, for saying it straight. Also appreciate the reckless tag. This is a crime against health and reason. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

I'd love to see Paul's rhetorical bat'leth send some of these petaQs straight to Gre'thor. I don't know why I went straight to Klingon with this, I'm just that angry.

I was going through some files and found a bunch from around 2010 that reminded me that I meant to watch the Peter Hyams film that year. Still haven't seen it since catching it in the theater with my dad in '84.

So, among my collection of old Google Alerts, I have "sea monsters" and "baffled" as keywords. This is a great little story about where they both come into play. www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2142...

Today, my 82-year-old mother texted me what I think is her first emoji. It was 🤪, which earns bonus points for difficulty.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use, wonderful old Building and Loan is illegal to build in many American cities.

"Psst...Pete hit a deer and was too drunk to notice that it was still embedded in his grill. Hungry?"

OK, hear me out, #Bikesky The Rebel Endor Trooper Helmet could make for a good bike helmet. If I understand correctly, they were made from a WWII under-helmet head sock thingy (with ear protection) and a patka ballistic helmet (the donut bit).

To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

Again, I will ask, is there any outlet keeping a running tally of all the various war crimes, grifts, actionable abuses of power, and other bits of administrative malfeasance? It seems more than just a bit, especially when you fold in all the corrupt, unethical, and wasteful acts of Cabinet crooks.

Our man, Tonka, turns 13 this year, and he's noticeably slowed over the last few months. All of his similarly aged friends have gone, except one. My feed is full of posts about expired pets, and it is killing me.

Ah, the party of freedom demands a dress code. When they get back to offering civilized service to steerage class on airplanes, AND when they stop making me take off my belt and shoes when checking in, I might consider ditching the crocs and sweats on the flight.

Something so tritely vile that Lovecraft used it as shorthand for the murderous evil of a U-boat captain in a short story published 100 years ago (Sept 1925, Weird Tales). We are being led by corrupt, cartoonish villains and their incompetent lackeys.

I'm very much against cruelty to robots, which probably has more to do with growing up on Star Wars more than any ethics about emerging sentience or a Pascal's wager-style bet on the chance robots take over. Still, I'm with all the bikers willing to kick 'em out of the bike lane.

So, is nobody using "Vote Early, Vote Aftyn"? You might as well, and it will take the wind out of the inevitable false Republican claims of voter fraud.

A dog remembers His mothers tongue The threat of a raised hand Which crossing guards have treats The squeak of an old toy Smells of friends long gone

Franklin was correct in that they are fierce, majestic birds, and this is a triumph. Also, they're totally jerks and you should stay far away from these little dinosaurs.

Just a reminder that our current model for a green utopia is contingent on several dark dystopias being developed elsewhere.

This is worth your time. Also, your concern if not outright anger. These MAHA arsonists destroyed our way to control disease and fund medical research. Imperfect, perhaps, but we attracted global talent. It is being replaced by a scheme supported by legions of grifters, nuts, and fraudsters.

Some light reading for your morning coffee. Faust and Rasmussen take down Battacharya line by line. Enjoy, weep for what we have become, or both! insidemedicine.substack.com/p/a-rebuttal...

NIH funding isn't just a spigot you can turn on or off. In research, labs close, programs end, & student leave the sciences. For clinical trials, it isn't "not paying Big Pharma." Small, site-led trials end, innovation halts, and patients can't access potentially life-saving protocols.

Rebecca Watson is a goddamn delight who brooks no nonsense.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language. Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.” Note the language in second photo.

Hi, Pennsylvanian here. To be fair, it was either him or Dr. Oz, so I think we did the best with what we had. Still, hard to believe this schmuck has only been in office two years.

So, my Scout troop is doing its annual Town Square cleanup, which is nice. We're also collecting food for the Jenkintown Food Cupboard, which is important. Each week, long lines form at JFC to collect & distribute food to hungry families in the 'burbs, as well as NE & NW Philly. Please help

It took me a second, but Hassett reminds me of Michael Emerson doing one of his insufferably smug villain characters like Ben Linus from Lost or Leland from Evil. No offense intended to Mr. Emerson, he's really good at making me want to hate him. Acting!

Now is the time to prepare to not set your house on fire this Thanksgiving.

So, the cat is apparently a mouser, but not the killing kind. So this guy was relocated to the park by the train station. Banished

Let me put this out there to my fellow rudderless middle-aged humans: this is where we need your expertise. Stop the endless doomscrolling and set up neighborhood repair clinics or bike co-ops. It will keep you out of trouble and focused on improving other people's lives. We call it a purpose.

Everything that actually made America great is being destroyed

It is radiator season and Ms Thang is here for it.

My belief is that this is the best kind of nature center (Briar Bush, Abington, PA) because it is in the neighborhood and reminds folks that they live in nature, even in a fairly dense inner ring suburb.

Scouting leader pro tip: don’t expect Scouts or parents to read the email, discord post or semaphore. Plan accordingly
