James Cameron walks into a boardroom full of movie executives, meanders over to the whiteboard and writes "WHALE" in big block letters. They stare in confusion and wonder. Then, he adds a symbol to the end. "WHALE$." All the executives start making loud whooping noises and crapping their pants

Such an unbelievable loser

Republican Chris Garten posted AI slop pictures of himself attacking Santa over Santa's unfunded mandates which makes so much sense and is a thing Santa is known for. Never stop calling these people freaks.

My own thoughts on CECOT / 60 Minutes buttondown.com/TrumpReport/...

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

logging onto limewire under dark of night to download 60 minutes

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

When he is finally gone, the line to dance on his grave will start behind me.

Does anyone have the full Bari Weiss memo in text form? I can find the screenshots without alt text but not the full text of the memo anywhere I can copy it.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

This is real. It's a real statement. It doesn't look real because the last decade is unbelievable, yet he really wrote this. It's also illegal according to Louisiana's law.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

"I didn't read about that" - every Republican on Monday

This is the shit that'll get them. We already have footage that all the public has seen (even the dopes) & photos of them together. A smart crook would leave a few photos/emails/notes in the files to show that what contact he did have with Epstein wasn't as bad as others, but instead they do this

Everyone is complaining but I believe the rules say it isn't targeting if the offending player knocks themselves unconscious in the process.

There’s room for somebody on the left to wrap themselves in the flag a little & make a point that the right’s rejection of America as a creedal nation—and their ad hoc, ahistorical effort to make it an ethnonationalist project instead—is distinctly *unamerican,* a rejection of the national project.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Fantastic read

I really do not care if the guy who has raped kids is from my political party. My moral philosophy is that you don't rape kids, and there is nothing you can do that earns you a get-out-of-raping-kids-free card.

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/

I’m currently outside of the Kennedy Center:

An extremely satisfying set of videos is coming in a few years.

Can't wait to see what they do to get out of this one. #EpsteinFiles

The reduction of human beings to biological essence, to be extracted and destroyed. The creation of interconnected "death worlds" -- plantations, prisons, probation. This all started with the Middle Passage, and it never ended for Black people. Project 2025 makes sense through an afropess lens, tbh

OMG indeed 😂

I just realized Pluribus is my new Westworld which scares me given the nose dive Westworld did. 😞

My TV got signed out of all its apps somehow which is not a thing we had to deal with growing up.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it. They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

The reporters who actually get to interact with him have utterly failed for a decade now because they refuse to ask questions like "What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?" "Who pays tariffs?" "Are stealth planes invisible?"

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.

HAHAHA, just 5 days ago the BBC ran an article saying Trump didn't want Venezuela's oil. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it. The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?" "An obituary." "Obituaries aren't on the front page." "This one will be."

this has always been the most baffling and depressing thing about the political hellscape we have lived through in the last decade there is nothing there at all except a rapacious, all-consuming need for praise, no humanity at all, nothing but a carnival barker's ability to work the crowd

I was finally doing ok processing everything but then just saw Joe Ely died. 😞 The first time I heard this song I just instantly started crying, solely because it's so beautiful. youtu.be/-G59WAMWZSk?...

Finding Mr. Christmas exists only to make me, personally, hopeful and then angry each year.

The Reiner post was the logical extension of the "merry christmas to all the haters and losers I despise" category of trump tweets

Yes Katie, there are words. There are words. Evil, psychopathic, hateful, dangerous, not human, monstrous, pathologically narcissistic, something a mass murderer or a serial killer would say…that’s just a start, I’ve got more. Did I say evil? There are words.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

The objectively correct answer to this is that you're just walking down the sidewalk and start to hear cheers rising from every building around you.

The people who wrote this about Charlie Kirk were fired and threatened with violence

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

Have it ready on your phone. Print out a hard copy for them. Blow it up on a piece of poster board. Shove it in their faces and demand a comment. Make them own this shit.
