May or may not be playing this because a) old. vinyl. 45. b) my President is an unstable toddler on the world stage, so why the hell not? “She’s got a birthmark that looks just like a staple.” 😜

WATB. Jesus.

Doo dah Doo dah

These are the same brachycephalic grinning jackasses who will slide effortlessly back into the same “states’ rights” shtick they’ve been doing since Reconstruction as soon as a Democrat administration and/or congress is seated. And the Roberts court will try to let them do it.

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

Fucking (incapable of dealing with) Snowflakes.

Elizer Darris, Co-Executive Director of the MN Freedom Fund shared this message during a press conference at the government center.

Clown show gets clownier:

Did anyone ever really think Josh “Running Man” Hawley would vote to do something appropriate/good?

If any further proof was needed of what Bill Ackman is, here you go. Not content to close out 2025 blowing millions on an unfocused and ultimately unsuccessful anyone-but-Mamdani strategy in NY, Ackman decides to open 2026 sending $10K *post-murder* to ICE Agent Jonathan Ross. What a dick.

Fuck. 😳

Nooooope.

The main lesson from the Minnesota scandal is that racism sells bigtime and the Democratic Party and the media are not very competent. cepr.net/publications...

Anyone else notice Bill Kristol's last skeet was sixteen hours ago? He must be having quite the morning.

Time to re-up this one, folks. The words are Hunter S Thompson's from the Dubya administration's war-of-choice on Iraq. The sad part is: I had to do almost no editing beyond changing the dates and the main name to make it sound like it's from today. Same as it ever was. 🤬

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

Thrilled by choice of Kamar Samuels for Schools Chancellor. Got to know him when he was Supt for D13 in BK (before D3 in Manh). An elem-school teacher & middle-school principal in the BX before that. Smart, principled, effective. Knows & loves what schools can do. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/n...

Far from the first to talk about this today, but got-damn, the MTG rehabilitation effort and surrounding dialogue is quite something. And not in a good way. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/m...

we gave our graphic designer the night off. if you don’t want it to happen again, chip in $5.26! or if you do, donate anyway!

Siri, what is a monster with tin ears?

Time for your annual Christmas cautionary tale, in the most American way possible: youtu.be/KMgS6fqOAtc?...

Erika Kirk is a liar (and schemer).

I know probably no one was asking themselves at this particular moment "what was Warren Zevon like as a performer," but just in case anyone was, here you go, live in New Jersey, 1980: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1PF...

The Trumpocrats! www.propublica.org/article/todd...

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

House of Representatives Spends Week Bullying Children, Protecting Polluters jonathancohn.medium.com/house-of-rep...

Quite a weekend when Jake Paul, Andrew Tate and Matt Yglesias all take very public knockout shots to the head.

Gingerbread house creation competition, teams of 2, everyone gets the same materials. Wife and daughter decided instead of making the traditional house, more of an open concept: WEU is “worker elves united” and yes that is a fallen comrade but also a guillotine on the roof and Santa’s head below.

Not today, Satan.

Save this one for when the Newsombies tell you we must all coalesce behind him.

If this scenario played out here, Trump would be calling for deportation of anyone with an Arabic-sounding name, and greater military presence on our city streets, instead of this. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Easy (though not the main thrust of the post/article) shorthand from this: that steady 10 or 11% of Democrats who approved of Trump’s handling of immigration through September, October and November? They’re Republicans. It’s not as if the bigotry’s been only revealed now in December.

Idly wondering the degree (if any) to which the headline writers had to stop themselves from just saying “takes one to know one” or even “he who smelt it dealt it” for this one. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Not enough 🙄 emoji in phone for this. There’s video, if you’re a) masochistic and b) still have an account at The Bad Place™️, but no link from me to that garbage.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated ror Pixar.

Every time I put on the hip waders, spray the BS repellant and go slogging through the Q/MAGA swamps, I think I’ve seen it all, and every time I continue to be surprised. Sometimes by the venality, but more often than not it’s just the dumbassery. These people were the Weekly World News audience.

My top-level reaction to this is: stop👏🏻 electing 👏🏻 Republicans 👏🏻 who 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 willing 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 put 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 D 👏🏻 after 👏🏻 their 👏🏻 name. Trump pardons Texas Congressman Cuellar and wife - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru... 1/

Same as it ever was (ceasefire or no ceasefire), only now with AI. www.972mag.com/ai-surveilla...

How are we about to go to war with freaking Venezuela? I mean, I know: seize their oil and “punish” or even overthrow Maduro. But neither of those are “legitimate” casus belli, even by our already lowered standards. Fuck these murderous, imperialist clowns.

Who cares what the people who live there think? The nation’s energy future is COAL, folks, just as it has been since the Industrial Revolution. Progress! What else will we use to power all those data centers? 🙄🤬 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There is no congruent way to look at generative AI and think “this is the future.” The most well known fact about it is that it messes up all the time, the next being that it loses lots of money.

Completely motionless, Midtown Atlanta. Comparing notes? Flirting? Or about to engage in a low-speed, low stakes game of chicken? You decide (I couldn’t).

My guess is that Zohran wanted Trump to like him while also not appearing like he endorses anything Trump is doing and unless I missed something mission accomplished buddy

This never fails to amaze me. Yes, there are Trump voters with no economic literacy nor desire to learn, but there are also plenty like this guy who, because of their work, know exactly how tariffs work and that they are import taxes. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
