Close enough

Last night in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Google made complete asses of themselves at a "community forum" they slapped together in 3 days on their data center They couldn't even answer questions cherry picked from the audience. Check out the Freudian slip after they tried to skip someone's question:

If one more bitch-ass lib tries to weaponize the phrase "diversity of tactics" because I didn't appreciate them doing the exact opposite I'm going to laugh directly in their face.

People standing up to violent fascist terrorists. This is a bug part of how The People win. www.youtube.com/live/NVrttzt...

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

ICE goon brutally assaulted a woman in Washington, D.C., for filming an abduction incident on December 9, 2025.

Woo!!

Dear car companies that put seat and back warmers in their cars: Why do the settings always offer only butt warmers or butt and back warmers but there is no setting for just back warmers? Asking for every driver with a bad back and a sufficiently warmed butt.

It finally happened. It's too cold and I wanna stay in bed. Send help.

Idk if y'all are aware, but 14 places all over Indiana have stopped data centers this year. I know there are still a lot being built, but communities are getting better at fighting back and local representatives are waking up to the fact they are a grift. Gotta celebrate the little victories.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

the US war escalation in the southern hemisphere is 100% about trying to destablize and control venezuela and cuba leadership. classic neo-con “spreading freedom” type agenda

I passed tf out after but it went til nearly 5am. Around 4:30 the Meta lawyer who attended gave a short, condescending speech the St Joseph County Council said they had never had a turn out like that, it must have been a record. Then they voted down re-zoning for Meta's data center 7-2! 🎉🎉🎉

It's almost 2am and they are still going. There is a legit chance if everyone who was initially in line to comment are able to stay awake they might be there literally all night. This is one of the most amazing showings of community coming together I have ever seen.

Can't sleep? Help stop a data center!! Join this zoom meeting for St Joseph County Council, hang out til ppl IRL all comment, and since they're taking online comments, pretend to be from there and tell them not to re-zone the land! 100+ in line! Keep em all night! us06web.zoom.us/j/8834302869...

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

This is absolutely heartbreaking. To get to this step they had to do EVERYTHING right. Background checks. Interviews. Passing the citizenship test. Living and working here and contributing to our society and economy. All that only to be denied at the very ceremony they were to become citizens.

Okay I laughed, but this is literally a barrier to people reading the documents. Times nre Roman is not as easy on the eyes or as easy for ppl with disabilities to read, especially the longer the document, and specially on screens. It's actually really fucked to change it back like this.

Somalis have the right to refuse entry to ice goons into their businesses.

TIL Simon's Cat is still going strong and that made me smile

Feels like an eternity ago now, but we caught an agent doing this (seemingly recording people, at least momentarily) outside Broadview in September. He was adjusting/ turning the glasses on and off as he heckled protesters:

Hey, would you look at that, another violent criminal working for ICE.

The system is eating itself.

Of course they are. Trump knows this makes him look bad bc he has been running around claiming he deserves the Nobel peace prize over their ceasefire. P.S. pls know this entire border conflict is over a temple and has been for decades.

Say what you will, the man has style. Luigi Mangione pumps fist in court as body camera footage shows evidence | Fox News share.google/CgXaaI0UWFjp...

Remember when they all left boyscouts bc they were afraid of this exact thing? Wild, huh? Also, I am once again reminding parents to be extremely careful about who they leave their children with.

So much for the ceasefire Trump was taking credit for...

I tried to warn people about bronies fuckin 15 years ago and now I'm finally getting to say "I told you so"

As was clear during Trump 1, roughly 37% of Americans are committed to white supremacy &/or Christian nationalism, no matter the cost. Very much reminds me of the Reconstruction South, which doubled down on the plantation regime that had destroyed the country in the aftermath of emancipation.

Okay, but this is from 2021 and needs to be recalculated again for all the recent inflation.

I missed this news story entirely, so I found the complaint. Here it is for anyone else as nosy and curious as I am, but this also deserves a serious content warning.

sam altman is being sued by his SISTER for sexual abuse. who gives a shit about his dogshit product that’s corroding brains and vaporizing the planet??? what is going on in this fuckin world

NEW: an activist has been charged for allegedly wiping a Google Pixel phone before CBP could search it. Search was by a secretive CBP Tactical Terrorism Response Team, which ACLU says "interrogate innocent travelers." We uploaded the indictment here: www.404media.co/man-charged-...

This is fucked up for so many reasons.

In line for the TSA behind this guy

TIL the teens still know about cowboy bebop. The kids are alright.

Träffade idag DEM Partis parlamentsledamot Ömer Öcalan, brorson till Abdullah Öcalan och den första som fick träffa Öcalan förra hösten, efter år av isolering. Han hälsar att Öcalans fysiska hälsa är god och att moralen är mycket hög, ifall någon undrar

Because bad news is the only news you ever hear out of Syria

Not the least bit surprised with the meme game of Somalis this last week. Long ago, living in Minneapolis, I encountered a girl wearing hijab ...with punk, feminist, and atheist patches sewed on it. That girl is more quintessentially American (positive sense) than anyone else on the planet.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

Americans are so insular that concerns like kpods we should see coming our way go largely unnoticed. Knowledge is power. Stay safe out there, y'all, and have open and honest conversations with kids in your life about substance use, especially with some of the sedatives and unregulated chemicals.

Seeing BT was out and about in Little Rock, Arkansas today... I would like you to meet Brendan Mccall alias BTSal, from Columbus Mississippi as well with ties to Marion/Pataskala, Columbus Ohio area.

Someone needs to explain to me why this farcical event even occurred, please.

This is why I firmly believe we are going to have to put all the fuckheads who literally want the world to end in the ground before they put all of us in the ground.
