DOJ did not properly redact the Epstein files. Is this a super embarrassing error? Or civil servants continuing to serve the people and not the president? Maybe both? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

89% certain the three people who still work at Global News on weekends weren’t acting with malice

Our holiday recess has been reduced to 12/25-1/1, as if any office work is happening on 12/24 and 1/2.

The Sunset is dark & quiet during the blackout. Pedestrians are using flashlights to get around & restaurants have closed early. Kitchen staff are taking the bus or scootering home. Patrons are dining by candlelight. Elsewhere, Waymos are stuck, snarling traffic.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I’ve been trying to avoid it but I think I’m going to have to write about that essay. Organizational demographics and field studies show it is very wrong, but white supremacist myths don’t stick because they are right. This one sticks because it flatters people who see jobs as their prerogative.

Foggy morning commute

capybara listening to good music

that's life dot com

I mean how many times have you decided to veer into opposing traffic at the last second to cause your own death? And of course that explains why the driver would leave the scene. And if you get hit head on by a 6000 pound Chevy, it's really important to ask if you were wearing a styrofoam cap!!

@ramdart707

there was this show on MTV in the late 90s called Downtown that's like if Ralph Bakshi tried making Daria and it's all been lost to time, no DVD releases or streaming, but some industrious soul put a bunch of the episodes up on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MiF...

Listening to Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong--one of my favorite albums of 2025--on speakers rather than earbuds and dang this is even better with proper dynamic range

ALERT! 🚨🚨 ICE is in Northeast LA today abducting people. They’ve been seen so far at the Eagle rock target, Glendale Galleria, & the division and Cyprus area. Please spread the word. And please sign up for a neighborhood patrol or find a way to help protect your community from these monsters.

The rinsing rice "debate" became so contentious in our house that I had to drop it and deal with mushy rice for a while when I wasn't the one cooking dinner.

your rice is shitty and mushy because you don’t wash it!!!

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

remembering the late 1990s/early 2000s observations of a Day Without Art, a Visual AIDS project for World AIDS Day—and on the web, people turning their own personal websites black

Even though they won't allow the #CDC to commemorate World AIDS Day, we should all acknowledge the progress we've made, the work that still needs to be done and mourn those lost. #WorldAIDSDay #HIV #AIDS

Currently stuck over the 101 in a broken metro train is how my morning is going so far

“Grated cheese sold under four brands has been recalled at various stores nationwide, including Walmart, Sam’s Clubs and Target, after testing found listeria.

Digging into this day of cooking and baking with a clean kitchen floor (because I spilled a bottle of oil all over it)

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle
