Hosted Thanksgiving for first time, cleaned kitchen, poured nog, time to rip this shit at 1.5x speed

The only video I can think of to share at this portion of family Thanksgiving is Connor O'Malley -- Restart The Irish Mob. Sometimes it's better to say nothing and contribute in other ways youtu.be/oYLxkGz00d0?...

I sort of stopped talking about mine after the initial launch window bc there wasn’t a ton of excitement around it, an anticlimactic conclusion to years of hard work (that I saw coming bc of course twitch streamers/viewers don’t read). but anyway here it is www.simonandschuster.com/books/Stream...

The Magneto helmet is supposed to keep Professor X from reading his mind but let’s be real he bought the helmet and made up an excuse

The next Lizza piece is gonna be a doozy

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Update: Despite the best efforts of the local prosecutor, Duncan is getting out as I type this. First day of freedom in three decades. Here’s a text from his aunt.

Please be aware and stay vigilant out there 🚨

The Senate Democratic primary in Massachusetts could feature three pols who got to Congress by refusing to wait their turn. That might fit voters’ mood this cycle. My new piece: open.substack.com/pub/goodpoli...

PROUD to announce that my application to be Lead on the mayor’s Arts and Culture Subcommittee on Drawing the Human Ass in a Cartoon Style has been REJECTED

Tom is right. Also, I'm lazy, and if I wear my blazer on the flight I don't have to carry another piece of luggage to store it and avoid crumpling. My biggest nod to comfort = wearing the work clothes for the flight w Hokas that don't match at all, switching to real shoes when I land.

click through and, surprise, it's another shovel merchant telling us the shovels will one day rise up to take over the world Sorcerer's Apprentice style

Has this discourse cured anybody else's imposter syndrome? I'm not that smart but I have never had medieval peasant brain. No, the fucking computer isn't a person!

you could also listen to www.kexp.org. All curated by live DJ's, with a huge variety of music during the day, and specialty shows in the evening.

That smells great

Guillermo Del Toro's "At the Mountains of Madness."

So they've had ubiquitous access to sports betting in Europe way longer than we have. Is this a normal thing there? If not, why?

Conversely, I'd like to offer up a very recent example of @rianjohnson.bsky.social using studio embargo notes to say something very cool, human, and most notably _respectful_ of the craft, skill, and love of the people who write professionally about art.

An amazing new Trump controversy, Part I of II: - Friday night: Jair Bolsonaro’s son summons a crowd to their family home - Later Friday night: Bolsonaro takes a soldering iron to his ankle bracelet days before starting a lengthy prison - Saturday morning: Bolsonaro is re-arrested

A healthcare system where we hope someone wants our autograph

I don't think they'd get any more votes for this, but I'd vote for a candidate who promises to get rid of the stupid "turkey pardon."

Huh it turns out cranberry sauce isn’t a portmanteau of Crayons and Berries but grandma isn’t complaining, in fact there’s no noise coming from grandma at all!

Democracy dies in dampness

🚨BREAKING: The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a sweeping new lawsuit in Michigan that seeks to eliminate a state law that protects voting access for U.S. citizens living abroad. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He Saw the Best of America and Then (at age 67) Fought for Russia in Ukraine. One of the crazier stories I've worked on. with Paul Sonne. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

One of my favorite covers ever: Harry Nilsson drunkenly screaming his lungs out to Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross"

Udo Kier, a German actor who played eccentric villains and bloodthirsty monsters over a six-decade career that included parts in films by the directors Gus Van Sant and Lars von Trier, has died at 81.

My freshman year of college was the last of the Loko years and they sent us all an email saying effectively “Do NOT drink this, it is TOO crazy, it will make your parties TOO wild.” which had about exact the effect you would expect.

Albums I liked and only listened to bc I scrolled Grammy winners list: Mickey Hart: Planet Drum Sergio Mendes: Brasileiro William Nascimento: Nascimento

Boring hobby I've picked up: Listening to a Grammy winning album in some genre I don't know much about. Probably not putting Silkroad and Yo-Yo Ma on heavy rotation but why not challenge myself a little as I work. Music that hasn't become familiar/comforting puts you in a different state of mind.

"the president has directed the Department of Energy to launch an AI project called the genesis mission" sounds like something out of a technothriller www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

"Judy" also a good study in how a story can make a winner. It was sold as a return from actor exile. But Zellweger was doing fine! She'd just starred in the third "Bridget Jones" movie! Mickey Rourke's "The Wrestler" nom was slightly more of a comeback; he had steady work, it was just in b-movies.

Are these guys still in the Best Actor Oscar mix? Does it matter when these movies for grown-ups flop/aren't great? "The Iron Lady" was dreadful and got Streep another Oscar...

"Hello, America. I'm gonna be the oil president."

we need to run 10 more op eds about how dems are out of touch with regular people while republicans are publicly beefing with prominent astronauts

“I’m sorry this had to happen. If you want to know why, look at my ChatGPT.”

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Positive post to balance this snobby take: Buy the three "Science Fiction Hall of Fame" collections. One of short stories, two of novellas. Who needs a third laser-that-blows-up-planets when you've got "The Nine Billion Names of God"? www.amazon.com/Science-Fict...

There are two great SW movies (1 and 2 here) and one great show ("Andor"). The rest ranges from fun slop to awful slop.
