Do NOT check the vacants

The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees 🧵

In all seriousness, there needs to be a law that no government property can be named after a sitting or living president, with a civil provision imposing a penalty for violation that cannot be waived or compromised except by full payment, with a 50-year statute of limitations

Because I’m petty, I would rename all of these. The Jean E. Carroll ballroom. Vindman-Class ships. I would order any post-presidency Secret Service detail to drive around in vans that say JACK SMITH WAS RIGHT

Bari Weiss is a propagandist whose job is to turn CBS into GOP-aligned state media. Stop pretending she’s anything else

Enough of this negativity. I’m hunkering UP

Google Gemini Pro: please generate a map of the western united states showing cities of over 250K population

I think we as a social media culture have lost our “block and move on” ethos and I would just like us to reinvest in that

Why would you admit this

Rickey forever ♥️

You can tell how much attention the WH wants on their ridiculously blacked-out Epstein Files by the fact that they dumped them at 6:00 on a Friday

Why is the name of the person who took nude pictures of a child redacted? Or the assistant who arranged for that person to photograph a nude child? Is the administration claiming that they are “victims”—the only lawful reason for redactions?

Yeah, we’re fucked

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Truly bonkers game. The Seahawks are now the Mariners

The funny thing about Kate Starbird is that her research on disinformation is so important but also she would absolutely humiliate every “trans women have an unfair advantage in sports” dude on the basketball court

Cities across California are on the cusp of bankruptcy due to the NIMBYs that control them. Build more homes, IMO.

Not his money. If Congress doesn’t appropriate it, it’s stolen

Rob Reiner Was Beloved by Many. But Did He Ignore the Legitimate Grievances of Conservatives? By Ezra Klein

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Trump's Rob Reiner is not about a failure of empathy or good taste. Trump bragged that Reiner was murdered because he criticized Trump! That's a seismic shift in political rhetoric. He wants people to believe that MAGA will murder his critics. He wants MAGA to believe it.

Almost three decades ago, my wife and I watched Princess Bride after/on our first date

Read the thread

This weekend can go fuck itself

I do not want this news. No fucking thank you

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the guns!!! :(

“We should make cars slow down” “How dare you” ”They should be smaller for safety reasons” “But freedom” “Reduce dependence on gas for environmental and security reasons” “I declare war”

Going god, people are so stupid. For the record, this is hazardous waste. The only person who should eat this is RFK

Why do you have to say “legal experts say”? It is objectively true and irrefutable. It’s like saying “the Eagles won 14-10, according to some football experts.” News reporters should not use language that implies doubt when there is none

Thinks “political asylum” means the same thing as “insane asylum” Thinks countries pay tariffs Doesn’t know he can’t pardon state crimes Can’t remember who he pardoned or why Keeps taking cognitive-decline tests Won’t tell truth about bruises and bandages

We can just be clear. The Republican Party wants more medical bankruptcies. If you’re not rich and aren’t employed by a large company, the Republican Party thinks that if you get sick or get in an accident or have a sick baby, you should be punished and have to lose everything

Also, if they wanted this to be a non-issue, wouldn’t they just pick a place where the IV bruise could be concealed? They want people to know they are not concerned about lying

I’m going to up this again: the Constitution says that Congress may delegate the appointment of “inferior officers” to the courts. To prevent the weaponization of justice, the next Congress should give judges, not presidents, the power to appoint US attorneys and Deputy/Associate AGs.

Nobody who pushes the unitary executive theory will ever give you a straight answer about why the Constitution straight up says that Congress is allowed delegate appointment of inferior executive officers to the courts

When you’re trying a new sandwich shop in Oakland and it has portraits of Payton, Marshawn Lynch, Rickey, and MC Hammer, you know it’s a real one. Wish they threw in a Gertrude Stein, though

What will make air travel better is if the bro-dude crammed into the middle seat smells super sweaty like RFK

When other players call him ”grandpa,” it’s literally true. He is literally a grandpa

Altman: I can’t imagine raising a baby without ChatGPT Altman’s wife: What even are you talking about? Altman: For example, without ChatGPT we wouldn’t have known that Kraft Mac & Cheese powder is great for diaper abscesses Altman’s wife: You have never interacted with our baby

I don’t think normies realize how suddenly and thoughtlessly this Supreme Court is trying to jettison our governmental structure in favor of a completely untested experiment that they are pretending was the idea of men who had no possible idea of what this world looks like

I eat cannibals Feed on animals Your love is so edible To me I eat cannibals -Toto Coelo

I think Sarandon said a dumb thing, but he’s still better for entertainment than fucking Zaslav

-I made a billion but I’m sad because there isn’t anything else to buy -yacht? -I have sooooo many -sports team? -boring. Fans get mad when I fash out -it’s a pickle - - -I want to kill a human

Incredible how Charles started looking exactly like his mom the moment he became king

The best way to get good precedent on a lot of issues might be for the next administration to target SCOTUS justices with Trump tactics—Kavanaugh stops, political prosecutions, etc. let them say “the government cannot act like this” and then apply that rule to everybody

I wish somebody would run a test: sell a phone as “optimized for AI,” and sell another one for the same price as “AI features disabled.” See which one does better
