Nazgul! Amazing name for a dog.

There is no reason to believe Trump's foreign policy is designed to benefit America or Americans www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The first decade in human history when the modal age of death exceeded 1 year of age was the 1930s. In the lifespan of my parents we went from “You are likely to lose at least one sibling on childhood/infancy” to 82 being the modal age of death in the US.

Speculative asset didn't speculate

Wow.

I guess there is more to being a young Olympic athlete than just competing! www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Bike lanes are not just for bikers, they are an essential means of freedom and mobility and their presence on only a tiny fraction of streets is a huge slap in the face to residents.

political malpractice that this chart hasnt been seared into the brains of every single american through advertising and social media

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

The things you learn on Bluesky. I have one pair of great grandparents who were born on Mennonite farms in the Kitchener Ontario area in the 1870s and who immigrated to a new Mennonite colony in Oregon around 1900. My daughters are eager to do this for job and grad school prospects so we are!

You're Canadian! You're Canadian! Everybody is Canadian!

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

As an older cyclist I endorse this!

"Talent is a gatekeeping mechanism" makes me think of Megan Draper's mom

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

The Distance. My entry into the Super Bowl ad mix.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

I know this guy is dumb as shit because why would you think going after a gaggle of teens as a grown ass man is going to end in anything but embarrassment for you?

Our entire government described in animal excrement:

I was wondering what happened to the State of the Union as it is almost always in Jan. I looked it up and it is scheduled for Feb 24, two days after the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. I'm betting they chose that date so Trump can invite White gold medal winners and bask in their glory.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

What it is all about:

They don’t call him The Boss for nothing!! We are so lucky to have him.

From Jonathan Larsen: "But someone not famous enough just launched a Substack and I can’t recommend her work highly enough. Her name is #ChrisRodda, and she’s the Military Religious Freedom Foundation research director, someone I’ve turned to for help, and someone who’s done more

Today's front page of our local paper. That was one fast pivot by our local Congresswoman Marie Glusenkamp Perez. She sure read the room wrong on that original vote to fund ICE.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I’m enjoying how we have four deep-blue cities from deep-blue states battling for the right to go to the Superbowl. In fact, 7 of the 8 quarterfinal teams were blue city/blue state teams. Only the Texans were the exception.

If you know anything about Brazil then you know this is going to slap 10x harder there than it even would here. Hah....

imagine if all that money had gone to teachers instead

“You’d have to work hard to not get enough protein.”

They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

US government's policy toward the Big 3 automakers—encouraging them to invest in massive, US-only SUVs & trucks, now encouraging them to underinvest in EVs—has reinforced their global irrelevance. Ford sold 33% fewer vehicles worldwide in 2024 than 2015! GM sold 40% fewer vehicles!

Actions have consequences. When the government dedicates itself to tearing down American universities, others are bound to notice. Next we need ranking sites to consider academic freedom so schools like A&M see their rankings slide due to censorship www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Well, I guess the Seahawks are going to get the Niners instead of the Rams next week in Seattle. That's good.....I think.

god that’s an amazing statistic

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

Finding that I really don't care in the slightest who wins this Miami Ole Miss game. I guess the Rebels are the team with the more egregiously vile history of racism. But beyond that, meh. I can usually watch a game and pick a favorite, but not this one.

I'm normally a pretty big sports fan so I'm astonished to discover that the Winter Olympics in Cortina Italy are just 28 days away. And I didn't even realize that they are THIS YEAR Wow, it has been a hell of a year of distractions, hasn't it been? www.olympics.com/en/milano-co...

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

Wow. Whatever is in those unreleased Epstein files must really be toxic.
