WELP. The court in TN unsealed the order on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's motion to compel discovery that was ruled on in early December, and HEY GUESS WHAT, MCGUIRE'S PANTS *WERE* ON FUCKING FIRE storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I shamed a bodega cat.

@attackerman.bsky.social's destruction of Bari Weiss here is so vicious because it is so spectacularly well-informed; this one is an earner, folks www.forever-wars.com/watching-bar...

Trico beans.

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word. They’ll have to go to aspca if it gets much colder (yes they built a temp shelter plz read the screenshot). #adoptdontshop #Westchester #PeekskillNY

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Republicans motivate their core voters to show up every cycle and they do. Democrats just assume their equivalent will do the same and spend the entire cycle pursuing swing voters, meanwhile depressing core turnout. Then they blame those core voters when they lose. The cycle must be broken.

At the end of this year, it does us some political good to read some of the really straightforward writing on the state of our domestic politics. Because we have to be honest with ourselves. @radleybalko.bsky.social's writing is exemplary here.

This year's effort to get un-invited from the big Family Christmas: teaching all of my nieces and nephews how to play Magic: the Gathering. Back up on all of my bullshit.

Cat or comforter?

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

Second new deck of the Double New Deck Day: I really like Companions, so it was interesting that this time I chose a Companion as my Commander. (Because you literally cannot choose this one as your Companion in Commander, but it's still legal to play.) That is, of course, Yorion, Sky Nomad.

Big Commander day yesterday - my first ever Double New Deck Day, as I try out some new things and have a lot of fun. First up: Squall, Gunblade Duelist, my Mardu-bases "odds-only" Obosh, the Preypiercer Companion deck.

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

It’s D&D night and the party is trying to use old Boy Scout tricks to plug a magical leak.

this is the website of all time fr

I'm just going to go ahead and admit it now: I'm an Epstein postcard truther.

We’ve known that you can trick some of the redacted Epstein files into being readable but overnight it looks like Bluesky dropped a process that unredacts most, if not all of the text. Go team!!! Discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

Encouraging the Weissand Effect here, but also noting that for all the claims that the Trump Administration "refused to comment" and thus Bari could justify pulling this, the fact that a core piece of video evidence was DHS Sec'y Noem's own footage is important.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Sounds like they're trying to Bari the story.

Friday morning's topic on my podcast. (The topic is pretty clear!) www.youtube.com/live/mS9kTqb...

Tandem cats with synchronized toe-beans.

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

So the DNC doesn't want to release the election autopsy, because it would be bad for the consultants. And Carville, who undoubtedly has access to said documents, has come out in favor of trans rights. Yeah, that fucking autopsy indicates one of the reasons they lost was throwing trans rights away.

Jake Paul looked like a panicked Labrador retriever when he learned this lesson because he had absolutely no idea how to manage when things went wrong, and that’s a moment I hope all fakers experience.

oh this is gonna be GOOD

49 posts. Systematically and savagely taking down Yggy on the substance and the style of his bullshit. I pray that Democrats bring this energy into 2026 and 2028 bsky.app/profile/sean...

My incredibly random StarCityGames order came in, and to give a sense of just HOW random... This was all for the U/W Yurion deck I am thinking of making.

Some people are not picking up the fact that her oppo research on Trump *couldn't use any of the Epstein stuff at all* because her husband is also in there. Literally anyone else could have used that oppo research, except for her.

This article describes a day out following US Border Patrol, and how communities defend themselves from raids, warning residents with 3D printed whistles and car horns. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I almost never actually coordinate my outfit plans, but today is a very gray and gloomy last day at work before we are all laid off and I figured I could hit that note.

If the Democratic Party actually released an autopsy from 2024 we’d actually find out where all the money went, how billions were set on fire, and maybe find out which popular podcasts and liberal voices and personalities are being paid by the party. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/where-the-...

Happy Epstein Files Day to all who celebrate. Anything the truth can destroy deserves to be destroyed.

Tomorrow on my live webcast, “History Matters” The “Pettysburg Address” The president’s address to the nation this week was…strange. And revealing. In so many ways. Let’s talk about it. (I didn’t invent “Pettysburg Address”—& can’t find the source.) Friday 10AM ET m.youtube.com/@joannefreem...

I am legally trapped.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2045...

Melissa Hortman Died in a Shocking Act of Political Violence. This Is the Story of Her Life The Minnesota Speaker’s closest friends and family open up for the first time. Read @stephenrodrick.bsky.social's exclusive: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"All rise." The defense case is about to begin with witness testimony. The jury is entering.

This is why you should check usernames before you argue with someone you don't know on the Internet.

Good news! Grandpa yelled at clouds instead of declare an illegal war tonight!

I really hope @aoc.bsky.social has articles of impeachment ready to file for 9:01 PM this evening.

i signed up for this site that helps connect you with volunteer opportunities, and holy shit look what they just sent me

Yes, I'll be watching the news conference tonight so you don't have to. Mute this thread as it'll be the cesspool.

Gonna be a wild time when Trump goes on national television, flubs a line and announces he is declaring war against Argentina later this evening.

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Day Three of Judge Hannah Dugan’s trial has begun. Stay tuned for more coverage at All Rise News. ICYMI, yesterday, a fellow judge in Dugan’s court testified against her. buff.ly/uTfZCOl And so did a parade of law enforcement witnesses. buff.ly/Vcdf7M0
