Out with #sophiefromromania on a frosty morning with icy pavements. I’m treading very gingerly because I don’t want to end up in hospital on the day I’m due at hospital for a minor but to me quite significant eye operation

After 14 hours of rather terrifying blindness the prof removed the bandage from my one good eye at 6 this morning and this is what I saw with extraordinary clarity. It worked!

Correct spelling eludes a New York Times headline.

The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare. Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans. That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about. Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Everyone knows that our current health care system is broken. That’s why over 60% of the American people support Medicare for All. The day will come when every man, woman and child in this country will have health care as a human right. We’re going to win this fight.

Workers at Caesars Horseshoe Casino in Indiana this week are voting to form a union in the face of aggressive and illegal union busting. I applaud their courageous effort and strongly support their fight for a union against outrageous corporate greed.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor. But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable. That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

Out early on a drizzly morning with #sophiefromromania who seemed bemused by my desire to hurry her along and get home for breakfast when there was important sniffing to be done

Only our 5th Golden Ticket ever Little Birdie is a very old girl and she can no longer control her bladder. She doesn't belong on the streets

Some very special news today for little Stormzy. Look at him just after getting the news. Bouncing!!!

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not sure he's going to make it, folks. Eyes are closed

When you stayed up too late shitposting.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

BERMAN: How many of the 40,000 people born in Somalia living in Minnesota do you consider to be garbage? McLAUGHLIN: We're really looking at the data BERMAN: All of them? McLAUGHLIN: This is not about politics. This is about public safety. We saw the terrorist attack against us last week.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

Trump keeps losing in court.

The American Revolution I Didn't Know: Thoughts on a 12-hour teachable "moment" from Ken Burns. Surprises and provocations, gritty details and historical sweep. Also brutality, hypocrisy, and oh yeah, our lofty ideals. My latest at History Keeps Happening. jilllawrence.substack.com/p/american-r...

Good point from @swin24.bsky.social and team here: Trump and Hegseth suddenly refusing to take credit for the second strike, after they've spent weeks sadistically yukking it up over their killings, is a key tell: zeteo.com/p/trump-hegs...

"Heading into Tuesday, Rs had underperformed Trump by an average of 13 points across dozens of state and federal special elections." Same again last night. As I keep suggesting conventional patterns are kicking in and people's brains are too melted by 2024 to see it: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Important: WaPo is doubling down on its reporting on Trump's bombings, asserting expressly that the second strike was ordered "when" the two survivors were "detected." Hegseth is suggesting he didn't see the survivors, but the question remains: Were they visible, or not? Time to see the video.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Trump: “The word affordability is a con job by the Democrats….The word affordability is a Democrat scam." The 2026 team captain for the GOP.

So am I.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

🚨 precious baby alert 🚨

That's why they call him Sleepy Joe

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive? Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy? Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet? We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers. Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S. You can’t make this stuff up.

A petulant child is in charge of the FBI.

Hear, hear! These raids must stop everywhere.

Modern studios expect us to pay good money to go to the theater and they don't offer us even one fish-horse hand-painted by French ladies.

Happy Tuesday!

Helen Gardiner in CLEOPATRA (1912), which she produced through her own company, starred in and served as costumer. It was one of the very first American narrative features and, along with FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS, one of the first American epics.

FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS was shot in location in Egypt and Palestine. It was written by Gene Gauntier, who also played the Virgin Mary, and possibly co-directed. The role of women in getting epics onto the American screen has been erased, so let's elevate them again.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

Mine floof in disarrey!

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Warms 💤

For Millie: 🎂 Mabel & I are celebrating her becoming a teenager now that she's just turned 13. It's a small, intimate affair with plenty of belly rubs, cuddling & extra doggie treats all around! 🐕 ❤️ #Woof

A lot of stopping and starting whenever #sophiefromromania heard distant cries from a school playground, but still had a nice walk with Juno and her trainer Gonçalo

'sup?

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living. Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality. It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
