Funny how songs wait on you. Heard ‘em my whole life—never really heard ‘em. Now a line slides past and I’m like… “DAMN!” Guess the music didn’t change. I did. Nighttime’s when the mix speaks truth. Everything loud steps back. What’s real stays.

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

To be clear.

Classic and always true

Tesla would have to rein in FSD under new Democratic bill Automakers would be required to restrict their Level 2 driving system to safe road environments. That could seriously hamper Tesla’s Full Self-Driving rollout. /1

Public transportation is crucial for our economy, communities, and people. And here in Illinois, we are on the verge of delivering a world-class transportation network. The Northern Illinois Transit Authority is our step toward a future of having the best transit system.

The lands of Ukraine only had formal connections with "Russia" in the 17th century, my guy. The traditions and histories of the region being separate LONG predate that treaty.

Diminished T cell immunity during aging can have profound effects on responses to vaccines, cancer immunotherapy and infection. This article describes a unique way to enhance T cell immunity in mice, which could someday be translated to humans. #Science 🧪

Apple Confirms iPhone Decision—You Must Upgrade iOS 18 To iOS 26.2 Now

The Onion, 23 years ago. theonion.com/no-blood-for...

The economy is stagnant, and we're even losing manufacturing jobs. Trump’s tariffs are a bust. Why do Democrats seem oddly reluctant to twist the knife? Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4s3gNTW

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?" Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie. It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such. It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

Feds Warn iPhone And Android Users: Update Now—Attacks Confirmed

So it turns out this game rules. Idk why I hadn't heard of it before. I guess people consider it kind of derivative but I don't know of anything else that fills the weird niche of "Oblivion if it were also Fable and God of War"

Seems the heat got too hot for Trump’s CNN takeover so they’re going to try to convince us Kushner’s out and the family is no longer involved. It’s all so wildly corrupt. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

Cereal costs $11 now.

Gregory Bovino is back in Chicago, and so is the violence. Trump sending him here is not about safety. It’s about fear and force. We won’t give in. In Congress, I’ll vote to abolish ICE. blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/16/b...

“Oil… oil… oil… oil… oil… oil…” TLDR: It was never about drugs

⌛🚨⌛🚨⌛ Release the Files‼️ The final days of the longest countdown 🎉 #epstein #resist #nokings #releasethefiles #maxwell #vote #elections

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment. They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns. I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

CISA Warns Chrome And Edge Users: Update Now—Attacks Have Started

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again. “Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.” We’re failing our kids. A gun-sick nation. 🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Wow! What an honor! JD Vance and his very special friend Ashley Furniture came to @katmabu.bsky.social’s Christmas punk show.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency. This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

So we are just kinda doing this as a hobby now or…? (This occurred before the oil tanker we just seized, but was previously undisclosed) www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Nazis UNMASKED AND NAMED 💥👇🏼

This ad from the far-right Heritage Foundation repeats threats made directly by Trump, Vance, and others: "Do exactly as Trump wants, or he will cut off all funding for your state." Hopefully these types of threats, which underline that Trump is a dangerous dictator wanna-be, will backfire bigly.

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.” Oh well. That’s over.

New Republic: In a lawsuit filed Friday, the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed suit against Trump over his grotesque ballroom, alleging Trump lacks the constitutional authority to fast track the process and has violated the Administrative Procedures Act and Environmental Protection Act.

40000-50000 developers have been laid off since 2022

It's not about nursing or at least not likely. I'm sure many fucknuts in Trump's admin think nurses just help doctors rather than be highly trained and specialized experts themselves. But I think it's more likely because nursing is traditionally done by mostly women. It's yet another attack on women

Disrespectful and insulting. According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree. The bottom line? The entire nation, including Illinois, needs more nurses — this decision makes it even harder than ever for them to get the support they need.

Pathetic. What has this to do with drugs, Leavitt? Is it because it was all obvious and shit lies? Huh, Leavitt? Clown shoes mother fuckers, fuck I hate this timeline

America will unlikely ever be the "leader of the free world" (as if we ever were, let's be real) again. The brain drain will likely not stop. America as it was known and relied on is done

Pathetic. Vote out those Democrat cowards. Affordability? Really? Trump is literally in the way. What's their plan to work with Trump and repubs to achieve affordability? Fucking joke gdi

DO NOT FORGET Do not forget how many Americans voted for Trump and Magats three times. Despite ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THIS WAS GOING TO BE A SHIT SHOW. Trump and his ilk are guilty, but his supporters are just as complicit because none of it was EVER a secret this would happen

The new National Security Strategy mentions preventing NATO expansion as a U.S. priority. That is all you need to know, but it gets even worse.

😕

Trump is using the same lies that Putin and Hitler used to start their wars. Nazis use lies as a weapon, to switch the roles of victim and attacker. www.fascism.link/p/putin-used...
