Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Phil Collins (social media) #OnThisDay in 1984, "Do They Know It's Christmas" was released by Band Aid. Alongside an all-star cast of musicians, Phil Collins played drums on the charity single. Watch him lay down the track in this clip.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

"What we're witnessing is not reform. It's the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency. The actions will leave the country less prepared for the next foodborne illness cluster, maternal mortality crisis, or emerging pandemic." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

This was just sent to me by an LAUSD parent. A 4th grader was assigned to design a book cover for Pippi Longstocking using Adobe for Education. Here is what the AI tool generated:

Paging @radiofreetom.bsky.social after reading your holiday special story.

This guy is great.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

One Admiral resigned rather than carry out an illegal order, while the other Admiral followed those orders. One Admiral has no job, but he has his dignity and our respect, while the other needs a lawyer and a pardon

Trump's pardons; all about "law & order" : Ross Ulbricht - Silk Road (illegal site for drug purchasing) founder Changpeng Zhao - Binance (laundered money for drug & human traffickers) founder Juan Orlando Hernández - drug trafficker & money launderer David Gentile - defrauded 10,000 investors

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

I truly have no issues with Trump passing out during press conferences... It's the waking back up part that's annoying me....

What do you call a Christmas wreath made out of $100 dollar bills? Aretha Franklins I’ll show myself out. #At40

Holy shit!

I’m listening to tonight’s #AT40 and watching football while wearing my new pajama pants and drinking hot chocolate with Bailey’s. Perfect evening.

Time In A Bottle is such a beautiful song. #AT40

All right! #AT40

The Americans now murder people on small boats for no reason other than because the President and the Secretary of Defense think it’s fun to kill people. #AT40

Liberalism must be willing to argue—unapologetically—that it provides more good, more justice, and more freedom for society than MAGA’s illiberal alternative. Liberalism must stop apologizing. Stop excusing. And fight. lnk.thebulwark.com/3MmSrEl

The corruption is just off the charts.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

J-MART: ".. he’s turned the office into an adult fantasy camp .. brazen corruption, near-daily vulgarity and handing out pardons like lollipops .. ".. the country has never seen such an indulgent head of state." @politico.com www.politico.com/news/magazin...

it's not the most important issue right now but I would *really* like to see Democrats who want to be president announcing in no uncertain terms that anything this goober manages to carve his name on, it comes off. anything he builds, it gets torn down.

Screw this worthless guy.

Can’t stand all this winning.

Why does the his not surprise me? gizmodo.com/learning-wit...

This times a thousand.

The Trump administration and Larry Ellison are going to go out of their way to ensure that Larry is the one that gets to buy HBO/CNN/Warner Brothers

"AI could absolutely return as Jesus". What?

This administration can’t pretend it cares about anti-trust only when it helps allies. If Netflix is too big to own Warner Bros, then so is Paramount/Skydance.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) isn’t gone, just underground. Many of its tech operatives now work within federal agencies, reshaping government operations. Inside agencies like the IRS, employees take coding tests, indicating a shift toward private-sector techniques.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

@theweekendprime.bsky.social Hi y’all. Studying things on your own online doesn’t teach you critical thinking skills. I also think state schools have added things like fancy student centers to attract students because they get less money from states. They’ve added more administrators as well.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

I fixed your headline, New York Times! You’re welcome!

Jeff Bezos’s new editorial page is deeply concerned about politicians who want to “make a political point of taxing the ultra rich.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This clown is probably going to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve Board.

this guy made his son a tiny version of Engineered Garments's FA pants 😭 IG twhattcomethru

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of: -ABC, which bribed the president -CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans -WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor Fools.

Well, Auburn played better than I expected tonight. #IronBowl

Even a decade ago I'd have far sooner predicted that the US would succumb to authoritarian rule than that it would become a state where vaccines were unavailable. But if we don't throw RFK Jr. out on his ass, we're headed there fast.

Let’s go Tigers!
