Such an unbelievable loser

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.

Adding “Bomb Nigeria” to the list of “things men will do to avoid spending Christmas with their families.”

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

The “those who can’t do criticize” saying is really funny because look at all the celebrated artists who would definitely make for shitty critics, listen to Tarantino talk about movies

"Contrary to popular belief and what the salespeople at Brookstone and ad copy in Skymall will tell you, nobody in history has ever used a whiskey stone." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/oh-...

A useful thread about the philosemitic antisemitism of the Christian right--IOW, an explanation for why their unqualified support of the Israeli state is totally consistent with their wish for a future in which Jews convert or perish.

Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/12/17/w...

The exec that said "we thought it was farther along then it was" is absolutely the greatest issue right now. Not only is it not capable of doing any of these things on a broad scale, it will do them significantly worse than any employee. Going all in on something to boost stock value that fails.

more lucrative than accusing Liz Warren of nearly fucking a marine to death, I suppose

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

Making it crystal clear that the Russians funding AND influencing your US media coverage is just fine with the Trump admin.

It happened again!

"an internet witch hunt" Every single named person in this article who spread ugly lies about the Brown shooting, even putting an innocent student in danger, is a Republican. One is even a top DOJ official. This NYT headline makes it seem like it was an everybody problem. It was not.

“I can’t see a rational reason to move inmates that have been compliant in an environment to a more restrictive environment,” says the former president of the American Correctional Association.

why can't i quit you

it's incredible to contemplate: these people don't have enough. they look at your rickety remaining safety nets -- maybe some employer provided health insurance, maybe even a 401k -- and they think: i need to get my greasy lips around those dregs and drink them dry too

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Treason for the Season

A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.

Trump May Give 775 Acres of a Federal Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/c...

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

A federal judge issued an order at 12:30 this morning temporarily enjoining the Departments of State and Homeland Security from arresting or detaining Imran Ahmed.

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

We talked about running these numbers at UM soc when it became so obvious that women TAs got more complaints for the same classes. Glad someone tested it formally.

NORAD Santa tracker is Woke

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

Merry Christmas!

at 0345 hours we lost contact with Santa as he entered russian controlled airspace

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

Republicans want to kill the post office and the media is there for it, which is why you have never seen a news story about how the police department has never turned a profit and is a waste

Another reminder that FBI tasked 934 agents and other personnel to review & redact Epstein files between March & May & prepare the docs for public release. FBI paid $851K in OT/premium pay for a week's worth of work. Via my #FOIA www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I never again want to hear about how the Republican Party is the party of national security. You don’t incinerate our diplomatic capacity & violate all of our treaty commitments if you care about national security.

Oh we are so cooked www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/b...

*youth pastor voice*: do you know who else was in a heated rivalry?

[my house, 20 years from now, listening to "baby, it's cold outside"] my son: man, this song is real weird me: it used to get cold outside

Give it a year and they are going to be running glitzy pro-pedophilia media spreads, shut down NCMEC after doing a “Twitter files” on it, and sanction or deport anti-human trafficking researchers, in the name of anti-woke or anti-censorship.

Every time Andor makes an end of year list I’m reminded, oh yeah, that was this year.

If the Romans had simply deported woke baby Jesus to South Sudan, a lot of trouble could have been avoided

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
