This headline got me all exited that Elizabeth Warren was going to fight The Batman.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

If you are mad about the USPS costing tax payers 9 billion a year just wait til you find out how much the military costs us.

National Parks will have free admission on the already-busiest days of the year. More intentional weaponized stupidity. Not sure if stupid is the right word because they know what they're doing. 2027: "National Parks revenue was down for 2026. Time to sell them!"

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

2/2 To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know: Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore. They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett. Small world.

Can't wait to watch STRANGER THINGS VS SUPERMAN on the new streaming service, NETBOFLIX+ NOW GO MOBILE ULTIMATE which I got on a Black Friday deal for $112 a month

The Grinch lives!

After seeing the photo of Jeffrey Epstein’s living room just released it now makes sense what Donald Trump is doing to the Oval Office.

Aur naur, I'm all of a sudden getting ads in my TikTok feed. Boooo, they found me.

Man, I really needed to be able to sleep late(r) today

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

OK! SO! I have made the ultimate illustration of this. Ariana Grande November 2024 (interview) vs Cynthia Erivo November 2025 (audiobook recording by the author)

This is breathtaking. Steiner--like the others--put in charge to destroy. He may be successful.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Rich people do be having the weirdest hobbies. I wish these new money oligarchs would collect weird figurines and miniature vignettes instead of destroying media and America.

Oof. I guess I should feel better about our $13k for next year. But I remember when it was free.

What happens to developmentally disabled people when their caregiver parents die? If they don't have a family member to take them in. (I don't want to know, do I?)

WOTD “not yet” edition. Currently vs. Presently. “Presently” does not mean the same thing as “at present.” This confuses a lot of people, and rightly so. Nonetheless, if it’s happening right now, the word you want is “currently.”

Are you familiar with the Terminator movies?

Williamson County folks frantically googling for where to buy a “Follow Your Harpeth” hat.

I'm at the combination

Yesterday: Me: I have to warn you. My mother says I have bad veins. So if you need to take it from my hand, that's fine. Do what you need to do. Her (confidently sticks needle in said bad vein and immediately fills up) Me: wow. You're *good* Her: most people just tell me I'm lucky. Me: no, that is

Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.

Hey @nashvillebanner.bsky.social, um, "rehab facility" and "rehabilitation facility" mean two different things to readers. Steve Cropper died at a rehabilitation facility after a fall.

It's not even a good lie because they don't care if we believe them

Ah fuck. This guy was born with an amazing gift and I'm so glad fate took him to Stax.

If it is the stance of this administration that drugs are weapons in armed conflict … shouldn’t my right to bear those arms not be infringed?

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

I think I just need to delete the NextDoor app. I hate seeing the opinions of only the worst people. Not content to ruin Twitter and Facebook, they've proliferated on an app meant to be helpful. Some really horrible people live in this area, but I need to focus on the good ones.

the richest people in america enjoy the approval of the government, police and media, but they know what the rest of us think about them, even if they don't acknowledge it in a literal sense, because they're building underground bunkers

Hear me out: Aftyn Behn runs against him again next time. It used to be common to keep trying.

It's okay if I do my donations some other day, right? I am trying to zone out.

Well, now we know why Al didn't have another Ascend stop scheduled. Boooo

In celebration of #GivingNewsDay, we’re giving away thank-you gifts (including this cool tote!) for donations of $40+. 🎁 Get yours: https://propub.li/3Kk4RMO

Oh @rianjohnson.bsky.social played all innocent "I'm not doing a muppet thing with Knives Out" he knew HE KNEW

PS If your taste is expansive enough to range from Bobbie Gentry to Green Day, I’ll be doing a drop of this design on black t-shirts within a week. I have one for myself!

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

My client found broken links to the CDC on their website and I was like, yeah, you're gonna want to remove all of those and she asked why.

Er...as a person who has an unknown amount of cancer in my body, I can tell you that you can't get an MRI for "preventive" reasons. I have to have specific reasons to get one. And it will still be difficult to get one when I need it.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa feeling abandoned by the CIA. Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE 40 white guys took everyone’s money and are using it to build a machine that takes everyone’s jobs and we are letting it happen because we are idiots

Just ordering gifts for my husb and child to give me for Christmas. I just don't know what I want until I see it and there's no point in sending a link if I can easily order. ps if you like great smelling soaps and candles, Goose Creek is having a great sale today.

Glad I gave this a few minutes this morning.

my official diagnosis: his brain has fallen out of his ass.
