When I think "where the vast majority of Americans actually are," I think about the millionaire lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein & Harvey Weinstein & Donald Trump who was recently in the news for threatening to sue a pierogi seller in Martha's Vineyard, where he has one of his homes.

Oh, just realized it’s almost the best time of the year: when I dig up the playlist of creepy medieval Advent hymns that @clivethompson.bsky.social and I collaborated on years ago because it’s the only acceptable music to listen to for most of the season!!! Get excited folks

Please tell me Everton have a song for Dewsbury-Hall to the tune of "Blueberry Hill"

Do not remember the last time I enjoyed a soccer game that much. We should slap each other in the face more often.

The greatest peril in loving a piece of art apparently is that someone else might not like it.

lol, people on here be crazy stupid

I'm obviously running in the wrong circles, none of my friends has ever said a peep about scaffolding.

Me, young, naive, reading Gibson: Holy shit a future where technology drives international geopolitics sounds amazing Me, middle aged, reading the news: The guy who wrote a fucked up IM client says France wants to assassinate Candace Owens because of Charlie Kirk stop please no more

Randomly clicked on a clip of Matthew Rhys on Conan's podcast and I'm now hearing him speaking in his real accent for the first time and I'm like, why are you doing a bad Anthony Hopkins impression?

Open the pod bay doors, Charlie Brown.

It's kind of mind-blowing seeing some of those early Clannad appearances before she went off on her own youtu.be/-ZwplHizrZM?...

humiliating myself and going full right wing to insinuate myself into the president's circle for the sole purpose of convincing him to bully a billionaire into funding a Nice Guys sequel

No, I am your father, Charles Brown.

I was at the st Augustine alligator farm in 4th grade and this presenter was all like “well you know dogs kill more people every year than venomous snakes” and I asked “what would happen if we had as many pet venomous snakes as pet dogs?” No answer. He was devastated.

Checks out

The worst thing about this is that it might work with kids and wives but has absolutely no effect on the cats.

Well, that was an awful way to put off doing the grocery shopping.

Even before Clear Channel bought everything and developed packaged radio stations, the alt-rock station in San Diego played a healthy amount of Beatles alongside the new wave and post-punk bands.

Just look at this seditious claptrap.

I've had a soft spot for McLaren since I first started watching F1, but if they tank both of their drivers' chances at the championship this late in the game will they be the biggest bottlers in all of motorsports?

Entire sport had an Amazing Fake Kicks contest today

F1 finally had several races with decent TV direction, but they're making up for that mistake in spades tonight in Vegas.

Meanwhile in other sports, my boy is still scoring goals.

Lewis Hamilton fully committed to Sparkle Motion with his helmet in Las Vegas tonight.

Beside You is probably legit the low-key MVP of that album.

You breathe in you breathe out You breathe in you breathe out You breathe in you breathe out You breathe in you breathe out And you’re high on a high-flying cloud Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you This time it’s found you

See my ships They are sailing In and out of the harbor Will they go together Or must they stay apart Yes I know it's in my heart Surely you see what's inside of me Jesus is coming soon I can hear Gabriel Blow his trumpet tune This I know This I know Our Lord is coming soon

Missed the obvious thing a man from Illinois would be singing: All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see his face In the morning, in the window All the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes, and he takes, and he takes

She's my only true love She's all that I think of Look here in my wallet That's her She grew up on a farm there There's a place on my arm Where I've written Her name next to mine You see I just can't live without her And I'm her only boy And she grew up outside McHenry In Johnsburg, Illinois

"Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire 28-point peace plan was eaten by a small dog."

Clouds to the northeast are catching a bit of the setting sun on their underside.

Most people opening up their Bluesky timeline today...

Someday, @bsky.app might fix this bug, but today it's perfect.

Raise a toast to the women of Chicago

Say a prayer for the civics teachers of America, who are trying—against all odds and daily headlines—to teach our kids how democratic government is *supposed* to work.

This is an absolutely gorgeous, heartfelt essay, and you should set aside some time today and read it.

When you have grown kids in the house.

"Fairy-stories are made by men not by fairies. The Human stories of the elves are doubtless full of the Escape from Deathlessness." (J.R.R. Tolkien, "On Fairy-Stories")

As a pretty normal guy with what I assume to be a pretty normal sex life with my pretty normal wife, I have yet to read any famous person's sext messages and find them in any way sexy.

The Wolvere was a stout carl for the nones; Ful thyc he was with adamantine bones. “The best ther is, bubb,” he wuld oft advyse, “Bot that I do, hit ys nout verry nyce.”

Wonder how this business venture is going?

Postmaster General Jamelle Bouie in the next administration.

Raise a glass to Bill Watterson, wherever he is and whatever he’s doing. Not only did he give us the genius of Calvin and Hobbes, he has kept it evergreen by steadfastly refusing to monetize it.

Look, it's easy to over-read into this whole situation, but the positioning of the Reagan portrait in parallel with the Ravenet is absolute *chef's kiss*

Don’t forget to moisturize tonight, winter is on the way.
