George Bailey realizing Bert knows him and that he's back in the world he knows is just about the perfect movie moment.

Monstrous behavior. There is no way to hand wave something like this. Have a fucking backbone.

usually in these stand up specials when they cut to the audience it is people laughing and smiling but like 75% of the time in this it is the audience member looking legitimately distressed and like they might become ill, really good

This is 100% the correct (and obvious) move by Dems and they need to do it Every. Single. Time: counter Republicans strongarming companies/schools by openly and directly saying "we will be in charge in like a year and will absolutely make this cost you." www.semafor.com/article/12/1...

If Kohler wants pics of my poop and pee, they could just ask.

Good year for birds in music!

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

Reminder for everyone that Neil Armstrong used to look like a professional Dale Gribble cosplayer.

we must abolish ICE

I passed over a creek on my way to work that was maybe 10-15 feet higher after a night of rain. There's still a flash flooding warning as it continues to rain. What kills me is that I'm pretty sure there are homeless people that camp out in that area and I have no idea how they're doing.

Man, the Riley Gaines episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out is a really great look into how Conservatives build an image for a wedge position by finding someone to lead a cause and making sure they never have to work an actual job. The grift in microcosm.

If you need an infusion of joy today: We installed a drum kit in the PTFO studio. And convinced the GOAT — Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, age 83 — to come play 🐐⤵️ youtu.be/vhdw6lWCb9Y?...

James E Ryan should be near the top of the next Democratic Dept of Education, if not leading it outright. Someone in his position who has seen firsthand how the conservatives have obliterated collegiate independence should guide the way in restoring it.

A May 2025 presentation by its (Meta's) safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S. (Think about who these scams target - the sick, homebound elderly)

I did a very American thing today: voting in an elementary school that closed last year due to budgetary and enrollment issues

This is one of the greatest threads of all time

One of the less-discussed downsides of moving is trying to remember all the things that have your address and need to be changed. I'm fairly certain my first apartment is still listed as my address somewhere and I'm on my third apartment now.

First look at Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige and Keke Palmer in Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters 💛 The film, also starring Poppy Liu, Eliza Gonzalez, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter and Demi Moore will be released in theaters on May 22, 2026.

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE

I gotta get this comic

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

First the Professional Women's Hockey League has a playoff game in May that goes to five overtime periods and lasts more than five hours and now we get seven hours of playoff baseball over eighteen innings.

“Babcock said having an address has helped him while he lives on the streets. He has received mail from the Social Security Administration, replacement identification cards about five times and chocolate chip cookies from his mother.”

This is a tremendous service that I hope exists in some form across the country.

Robert Eggers make a Shakespeare

Everyone should have an apartment near their work. Shorter commute, sleep a bit later, let your boss have sex with the woman you like in the hopes that he'll promote you, etc.

We have the first four Women's Pro Baseball Leagues teams: They'll be in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. www.instagram.com/p/DQEnv9eAU5...

Sure are quite a few people online who can excuse a Nazi tattoo on a Democrat but draw the line at Nazi tattoos on a Republican.

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has blocked the execution of Robert Roberson a week before it was scheduled to occur.

Imagine pulling up broadside to a Ford F-150 and having a child light the battery on fire to blow the front tires off like a Royal Navy warship going for the main mast. www.jalopnik.com/1977869/ev-b...

Oh Disney let Kimmel back on because they lost so much money? I bet they've lost much more money on movies and streaming shows bombing; they don't care about Kimmel money.

I really needed this today youtu.be/qJJzA-YWc3s

I am an idiot, let's get that out of the way. Now, does this SCOTUS ruling mean that the President can fire Supreme Court Justices, since they are appointees to an independent organization?

The world is bad but Guillermo del Toro hugging Godzilla like an excited child is good

I cited this research in a post for @americandoom.bsky.social a few months ago. There is hope for victory. But it requires deliberate and persistent action, as well as going through some tough times. www.american-doom.com/p/autocratiz...

I think it's very telling that, in this discussion of which side perpetrates more political violence, I haven't seen anybody mention the spate of bombings and assassinations of abortion clinics and their employees. There's just too many examples to point to since then, so it fades from memory.

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is: - An abdication of responsibility. - An abandonment of hope. - A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.
