www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/o... Another Douthat gem. This comment is a thing of beauty.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Feeling torn - raised in Canada but lived in L. A. long enough to be supremely conflicted.

Just called my about to turn 89 year old aunt in Toronto to chat but will have to call back tomorrow - she is glued to the game. Go Jays!!!!!!

Worst rendition of Oh Canada ever - my ears are bleeding.

One of the most beautiful pieces about grief and loss I have ever read. Stunning.

“Irrational madness dominates American society.” S. Korean journalism putting US counterparts to shame by stating the obvious fact that none of them have the courage to admit.

Best thing you will see all day, or any day, for that matter.

Bro why did Trump guild the White House Fireplace like Jeffrey Epstein’s house?

Age verification? I saw Rod Stewart at Maple Leaf Gardens. It was the Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? tour.

"Hulk Hogan should be remembered as a living expression of our national decay: a hero exposed as a fraud, a fraud exposed as a coward, and finally a coward who cried with joy upon finding an authoritarian monster to tell him that his sins were in fact virtues." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Well, I know a horse hasn't been made Senator but does Linda McMahon count? Seriously, what part of it isn't a freak show? All circuses and no bread, that's our empire.

No one.

Solid gold take!

I can’t help thinking that if the president were a woman, the judiciary wouldn’t be quite so fond of deference to the executive.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

I lived in L.A for over a decade. Met the love of my life there. Flying into LAX still feels like coming home. I wish I was there now - because I would be in the streets with everyone opposing the ICE thugs. Trump and Musk are the true threats to our security - not the day laborers at Home Depot.

What a retiring Canadian parliamentarian thinks.

An insta reel purportedly about a Russian city (didn’t google - you can if you want) inspired the comment below. Not sure which is sadder and funnier: the shockingly racist AND stupid declaration itself, or the fact that 7 people liked it. Either fellow racists or Hoosier state haters, I guess. #

Wow.

Shocker.

For #InternationalWomensDay, my favourite photos by my favourite women photographers Two ladies at the automat, New York, 1966 📷 Diane Arbus

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Even the Italians understood the salute. . .

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

For anyone else wanting to leave FB but hate to leave the wonderful Dull Men’s Club - they have arrived on BlueSky!!!

Just deleted my FB profile and removed the app from my devices - I feel a million pounds lighter!

When I married my husband the first thing he said to me (after he kissed me, of course)was “Sorry. Now you’re stuck with the ‘Green’ luck - it really isn’t easy being Green.”

Hmmm. . .

You know from the moment you first lock eyes that they can’t stay forever and that there will be an end one day, but the years pass with it always in the back of your mind; you even occasionally think to utter a silent prayer of thanks that it won’t be “this day.” But then it is "that day". 1/4

For anyone not following this account: what are you thinking????? Trust me, some of the posts will make you laugh so hard you wet your pants. . .

Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are muppets. The Usual Suspects. Keep Kevin Spacey.

www.imdb.com/title/tt3428... Watched this tonight - brilliant! I was late to the game ‘til @rexchapman.bsky.social posted about it on the old place. It is a sweet reminder of growing up in the 70’s. My British hubby recognized few of the songs but was charmingly gobsmacked at how many lyrics I knew.

Post the cover of a book you read way before you were ready for it.

I often think about how Arthur Miller said in the 60’s that Americans wouldn’t recognize fascism when it comes because it’ll be entertaining.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.

Hey @support.bsky.team is there any way to pin people you follow to the header? There are a few accounts (ok it’s one, and it’s @dieworkwear.bsky.social ) I would like to be able to toggle over to instead of hoping for daily posts to show up if I happen to be scrolling at the right time.

Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.

@bcdreyer.bsky.social I have always believed that one should never start a sentence with “And” or “But”. My husband is currently reading a novel where this has popped up? Is this a stylistic choice by the author, or have I been wrong all these years? Inquiring minds need to know. 🤔
