The Trump flags are tattered now.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”

My goodness!!

This is what they really want.

I've taken the paywall off this piece I wrote about the wonderful art my mum and dad have been making in their 60s and 70s, which is also about the general (underacknowledged) concept of late-blooming creativity. I hope a few of you might find a moment to read it: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

ME: This woman sends a newsletter every day. Who IS this? WHEN did I sign up for this?WHY do I have to hear from her every single day? I’m going to unsubscribe from her list. ✨Finally opens one of the emails.✨ “Oh, she’s Black!” ✨ Does not unsubscribe. Also does not read newsletter. 🙃 ✨

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

These lazy, entitled, destructive beings don’t even bother trying to do the assignments they proceed to destroy lives over.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

I love this song.

especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

When in AD 2025 someone on social media responds to being corrected like a normal, decent adult who accepts they were wrong and makes no big deal of it:

The phrase “knock on wood” - or “touch wood” in the UK - is an ancient one deriving from the belief that tapping on trees awakes the gods and spirits that reside within them and brings good luck.

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email. It must be read:

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

Merry solstice from my 300 year old wee Willie winkie lamp with tiny chimney & these tiny scented narcissi-the first of the year. Now the light will begin to return…

God right now:

And I said, “There’s nothing I can do for you, you ugly little shit, but there’s a lot you can do for the world. Walk out that door and keep walking. Right into traffic. Right into the river. Right into hell.”

That’s the funny thing about hubris. It can tell you you’re a world class boxer, but it can’t make you a world class boxer. FAFO. Heavyweights play for keeps.

This is genius. Absolute genius.

This happened to me years ago! I went to a rock show, it started, I yelled, “Whooohooo!” or something to that effect and they stopped and one of them said, “No. We don’t want that.” Like?

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt. The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Go get 'em, Philly! These animatronic Christmas mannequins definitely aren't cursed. Surely there simply isn't room in the attic. They're curbside, they're free, and they're ready to haun- fill you with endless awe and wonder at the magic of Christmas! philadelphia.craigslist.org/zip/d/hatbor...

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  theonion.com/trump-still-...

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.
