It's time for Merry Krampus again!!! #krampus #krampusnacht

Shell Monaca PA (from across the Ohio river) I have shot P30 a few times but this is the first time I didn't inadvertantly underexpose it by like 3 stops. Ferrania P30 Nikon n80 #filmphotography

it's annoying how often memorization and recall of facts is conflated with being "smart", intelligence is so much more than just being a living Wikipedia. this also goes for "being good at math"

is he substantially better than Adams or Cuomo, yes of course but you can't be genuinely transformative without directly confronting the cop gangs that runs all major cities

Also we saw this buddy. Chihuahuan raven.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

one factor in the Harris loss was the Democratic party bragging about the great economy when it was actually complete garbage outside the artificially juiced stock market, and I don't expect that tactic to work any better for Trump esp with a much worse economy

had a friend in high school who snapped during an assembly, stood up in the middle of the principals speech and howled at banshee volume IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF FUCKING SHIT before marching out and I gotta say, not much has happened in the intervening decades to contradict him

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

schumer asked fetterman to cave and he thought schumer was telling him to go home. just a little morning humor for you ha ha. anyways fuck chuck schumer

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

It wasn’t 8 democrats. It was all of them. Never forget this. They decided to sell you out because they want to go on vacation and don’t want their flights delayed. They don’t care if you die. They will never fight for you.

I think in our analysis you trust us to take a position but at least analyze the alternative. In this case there is no alternative. There is no political advantage to this deal. None.

I know the push is always to get people more engaged with what is going on in the government, but you as a constituent should NOT have to spend your sunday panic calling your senator to beg them not to collaborate with fascists. None of us should have to do that.

Fight don’t fold.

None of these people deserve any peace when they go home. Their lives should be hell everywhere they go.

This is the angriest I've ever seen the big lib/prog orgs get at the Democrats, and I mean all of the Democrats. Everyone sees through the kayfabe

Most people think the President of the United States can snap his fingers and do what he wants. Trump is eager to reinforce this, in principle and practice. If you fold now, he gets the credit. Go back on your terms or not at all. Sometimes politics is a slow bleed.

"I know what I'm doing." Photo from my collection, no date/info.

"it makes the republicans look bad!" you know what else makes them look bad? in fact makes them look way worse than being huffy about rejecting a deal that's very favorable to them? all the shit they're doing in public with ICE. and you know what schumer is avoiding bringing up at all costs?

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom. PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom. DARRYL, SOCRATES AND PLATO’S FRIEND: well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

This fucking prick had unlimited good will from being the best part of The Town and unlimited sympathy from getting mangled by a snow blower. Turns out both had limits. Fuck him.

The liminal time is coming.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

all the other things aside the Daily News asserting that Zohran Mamdani has never indicated any position on any kind of nationalism other than Zionism when a) he has been a very vocal opponent of Hindu nationalism and b) his father is a world famous postnationalist scholar is so damn lazy

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

I think one of the greatest and consequential failures of 21st century education systems globally has been the collective refusal to understand that reading books, watching films and learning to appreciate art are necessary for ALL fields, but especially STEM, and especially tech.

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true. _This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure. https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/forrester_ai_rehiring/

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

If we ever re-establish some semblance of Constitutional order, I suspect any elected leadership that wants to try "let bygones be bygones" again re: Trump will find themselves eaten alive not only by their base but by the entire international order

Sound UP! When a gang of young male Superb Lyrebirds surround you, often within less than a metre. I zoomed back to 80mm but often had to lean back to get this footage. I've left it largely unedited to capture the mayhem of the moment. #birds #birding #nature #lyrebirds
