If you read nothing else this new year, let it be this piece. A former New York Times editor laid out how they're anti trans coverage was directed from the top by AG Sulzberger, Joe Kahn, and Carolyn Ryan. This was a purposeful effort to target trans people. transnews.network/p/a-directiv...

Mildred Pierce trending number 1 on Bluesky? You'd never see that on Twitter.

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

This SHOULD be the end of it. AI image generation was always going to end up doing this, to do so in such a public way on open internet is just disgraceful. Since OpenAI keeps records on everything prompt you entered, I wonder how many of these types of requests they're just sitting on.

Lots to be thankful for this year, lots of trials, lots of hopes for 2026 per usual. Yearly milestones haven't felt as impactful as I've gotten older. I'm still very survival focused, despite being more comfortable now.

As is tradition, the gf and I are watching Terror Train and New Years Eve on the couch after pizza instead of partying on NYE.

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

The first sign of enshittification of streaming services was the "continue watching" not being at the top.

I consume the ruins at the bottom of the chip bag by the salty handful, putting it first in a bowl instead of just pouring it all down my gullet.

Steam Winter sale picked up Silent Hill f and Cronos: the New Dawn. Excited for more survival horror, as always.

Refreshing this one

Look what someone did to the new Avengers trailer dyyyyying www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr3hr2A6/

MIL bought a AI slop printed ornament off etsy kind of goes to show how dead that site if for crafters. She thought this woman illustrated it, printed it, and mailed it, I didn't tell my MIL obviously.

Night of the Comet really nailed the bunker of evil eugenist nerds we've all grown too accustomed too 40 years ago

I'd buy it

So this is Christmas

You can't buy cultural impact or artistic prestige.

Bought a few Moon Knight omnibi (omnibuses?) and I'm at the point where it's the 90s and the art got so hyper stylized it's hard to follow, but I got to a point where there's a fill-in issue with a guest artist who's more traditional and thank God.

I hate having to check everything I get with an illustration on it for AI art. I had to buy wrapping paper and I was inspecting the Christmas sharks on it for authenticity. People are going to tear into it, but I'm not buying a shoddy product.

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

Cancel your Paramount plus subscription today it’s the one thing they’re afraid of and it will harm their attempt to buy WB / CNN

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

Thinking about the unmade action-horror film SHADOW COMPANY, that was to be directed by John Carpenter from a script by Shane Black / Fred Dekker, about the re-animated corpses of American soldiers destroying their small American hometown over Christmas. Kurt Russell would have starred.

Steve Rogers being back in Avengers Doomsday doesn't make me want to see that train-wreck any more than I already do, which already pretty low on my desire level. Sorry, nothing against Chris Evans, but everything about this movie screams cobbled mess.

The GOP "healthcare plan," if they ever come out with one, is going to be "Peloton is 80% off and only the rich get chemo." The point of RFKism is that healthcare is a consumer choice, and the right choice is Instagram woo. If you didn't go to the Equinox juice bar the ensuing cancer is your fault.

Star Lord's post-MCU character change is a good example of annoying character that's annoying in a way that makes me never want to read about the character ever again.

The whole anti-DEI thing stems from the fact that stupid white people might be held to some same standard as their non-white peers and their lazy, stupid asses just freaking out at the prospect.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

I figure more than hallf the people wearing "we are charlie kirk" merch probably couldn't ID the guy in a line up

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin

A Christmas Story was released in 1983, but takes place in 1940. For reference, that's like a movie set in 1982 today.

Are there any goth Goths in Götaland?

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

I wish those who stick thier used gum on the bottom of gym equipment people put their hands on instead of the numerous trash barrels a very "die in a fire"

If it’s true that DOJ pulled a (relatively anodyne, considering) file with Trump’s photo on Epstein’s desk from an already-published tranche of materials, it’s either (a) the most bungled cover-up in history, or (b) evidence that DOJ wants people to know it can operate entirely outside the law.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Ingraham is using the Brown shooters to try to argue for getting rid of diversity green cards. Portuguese just lost their white status I guess.

Music selection for your Friday... youtu.be/Q8jBphBUo4I?...

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. checks out

knewz.com/donald-trump... I fucking wish the Dems were as cool as the GOP says they are.

I'd still wear these Marvel tee shirts if I'm being honest. If tee shirt companies wanted to make money, they'd just reproduce the ones in these ads.

This direct market box always made me think Captain America died when I was a kid.

They want lynchings of trans women, but they also want the state to get a piece of it.

Put the Christ back in Christmas except for stuff that Christ would say we are canonically/biblically evil for doing

I'm sorry: I'm glad the Brown shooter has been found, but watching law enforcement officials take a victory lap and praise each other feels kinda gross? Given how the FBI messed up by leaking the name of an innocent person and that a random 48-year-old guy avoided capture for days, no time to brag

Wow. It is a massive failure of FBI and local law enforcement if the Brown killer indeed was left on the loose long enough to then go kill the MIT professor. The fuck do we need cops for? The fuck are they doing with all this fucking spyware and surveillance? Fuck.

If I had to really pick my personal favorite Christmas Horror, it's definitely the original Black Christmas. Just a great all around horror film and film in general.
