How did a bad encounter with two wayward teenagers after Trump's inauguration transformed my outlook for the rest of the year? Read more here and let me know what you think!

Not that we are looking for sympathy but we have lost a few subs as a result of this post. If you’re looking for a reason to support, now’s as good of a time as any.

We quit Twitter a long time ago but this still struck a nerve with some. That said, we’ve never regretted our decision. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/01/its-...

"If section 31 gave Odo the virus, they must have a cure!" Oh boy. #ds9

Fuck this guy

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

I didn't have Trump starting wwiii on ten lords a leaping day on my bingo card

I'm not going to post a thread of my 2025 writing here (esp. since I constantly repost everything anyway), but I will point out that my most-read, most-circulated piece this year wasn't on my newsletter or for another publication. It was this googledoc:

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

I was in the army 1995-1997. I'm watching the DS9 episodes I missed. Apparently S06 goes hard

I have one Thanksgiving tradition.

Due to an auto-backup a few years back of a custom image database to make Football Manager more immersive I'm in the middle of learning just how long it takes to remove 750,000 files from OneDrive.

PRAISE JESUS let's hope this is a trend away from gerontocracy

My granddaughter is pretty frickin great

Mariners could have beat em

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

The plot of Take me to hell: I love my cat Stuff happens You might want to sacrifice your cat to Lamia No way! Spooky shit Here kitty kitty Meet the awkward parents Yeah cat what cat fuck that cat Mom: yeah this hellbound girl gets it

Rereading 11/22/63 for maybe the fourth time. I wonder whether @stephenking.bsky.social once saw that poison ivy infested segregated "restroom" in 1958. The way it was written was very personal, very fourth wall.

Tribble Furby just dropped

I made it through 6 years as an enlisted Airman without getting a Nazi tattoo. Some thoughts: Nazis are bad I'm suspicious that someone can "unwittingly" get a Nazi tattoo If one does unwittingly get a Nazi tattoo, they should get it removed This doesn't feel that hard

Surely there's a democrat in Maine who isn't 77 years old and also doesn't have a Nazi tattoo

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Man no. Ending 28 years later with Jack the Ladin an adidas track suit? Come the fuck on danny

Baseball is life

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Shouts out to Max Scherzer, doing it for all the guys over 40 who experience neck, shoulder and back pain because of the violent repetitive movement of their bodies, whether that's Pitching to Major League Hitters or Shifting Slightly in Bed

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

T-Mobile Home Internet: fool me twice, shame on me

They're talking about the Lawrence Welk Show on the broadcast. We're fucked

Has anyone nominated the 710 guys on the Mariners broadcast for the Emmy? These fellas are amazing.

We dropped a couple bucks on playoff tickets yesterday. Hopefully 13-4 is the exception that proves the rule, and we just took one for the team. 2025 Mariners are the greatest team in baseball, but almost everyone drops a game at home. Still ahead 2-1 going into tonight. world series bound. #GOMS

FROGS TOGETHER STRONG is tactical frivolity at its finest.

I know how to spell "skeleton. It's just an anagram.
