you can add photos of Trmp and Epstn to your parents Aura frame if u want!

Watching Muppets Christmas Carol for like the 15th time, favorite Christmas Carol version don’t @ me

Some happy holidays art more my speed, in my neighborhood

Yeah yeah we’re watching Christmas at the Catnip Cafe so what!? Best part of this typical go-down-easy movie is all the adorable cats who are naturals on camera. A small nitpick: everyone in town visits and loves these cats but no one seems to adopt any of them??

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

*Decided to get my flu shot today, even tho health secretary RFK Jr’s suggested preventive method of slathering myself in whale blubber and rolling around in a toxic ditch was also tempting. *Because I believe in science and #vaccines.

Really sad loss, especially finding out how much he was struggling. I wish he could’ve found help. The actor impacted many on and off screen.

Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.

My insurance is Kaiser. Kaiser wants us to get flu shots, which is right because it’s bad out there. Kaiser also has no flu shot appts here in SF until January. If I try to go to another pharmacy clinic like Walgreens, they refuse me because I have Kaiser and it’s cost prohibitive. MAHA-hahaha.

So apparently Jaguars fans got mad at Sean Payton for praising how well team is doing “as a small market team.” They got mad at “small market.” But it is literally a fact-Jacksonville is one of the very smallest media markets in NFL. They literally choose to play two home games a year in England. 🧐

A few years ago I did a comic for an anniversary of my stepmom Jeannie’s passing from cancer on winter solstice, 2000. Just me trying to come to terms with it through humor and doodling! Anyway, pouring one out for her again today on the 25th, hard to believe.

This is why the Ellisons paid $150 million to acquire a mediocre Substack blog www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/bari...

If nothing else, at least "NFL Refs" is trending here, and not in a good way -- and not just about one game lol

Two main things make me want to stop watching NFL many times: Injuries Absolutely atrocious officiating with never any repercussions. It’s bizarre how incompetent and inconsistent it can be from game to game.

Michael Sheen is just. An exemplary human being in so many ways

I had a mixed (positive!) traction to Jay Kelly, but man there’s some great lines delivered with deadpan perfection. This one, chef’s kiss: “I'm going to go without a manager for a while… Just an attorney. and an agent and a publicist and a business manager.”

Wait so the corporate robot cars are dependent on the social infrastructure maintained by the private utility the provides service for the public?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Tom Brady doing NFL game commentary sounds so much like Todd from Bojack Horseman that it’s even harder to take his analysis seriously than it already was

It’s been awhile since a colossal PGE clusterF here in Northern California. So I guess today it was San Francisco’s turn. 100k! www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Incredible words from real boxer Anthony Joshua after he knocked Jake Paul the fuck out lol

We all have a comfort food TV show from our youth but what’s a very recent show you already consider comfort viewing? Lately I’ve been starting to revisit Bojack Horseman in that way. Even for a show with a lot of existential angst I still find it amusing as a background show before bed.

Really enjoyed Jay Kelly, for its deadpan-witty, sharp script and performances (+ locations) and warm moments. But who is whinier in the film, ultra wealthy globally famous movie star Jay or all the people in his life who have angry grudges against him? Watch and judge for yourself!

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

Calendar of your marching orders: 2026: fight, stop em, focus dem party on fighters, throw GOP out 2027: start repairing damages and continuing to focus D party on progressive fighters for the future 2028 and beyond: finish throwing them out of WH and start rebuilding democracy Easy peezy.

Earlier this week, @forbes published "How Trump’s D.C. Hotel Cashed In On The Jan. 6 Riot." Here's how we were able to report it. for @Forbes 1/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2021/11/03/heres-what-was-going-on-at-trumps-dc-hotel-around-jan-6/

I’ve always enjoyed Al Michaels over the many years but Grampy Al needs to retire. This incredibly exciting and wild NFL game full of huge moments that he’s just too slow to call properly. It’s sad but time makes fools of us all!

Thanks to the rec of @rianjohnson.bsky.social I watched a marvelous short by Mike Leigh on Criterion Channel that I’d not only never seen, but never even heard of: “A Sense of History” with Jim Broadbent. an increasingly hilarious tale of a family history told by an increasingly deranged person.

LMAO does Leavitt think JFK is still around and hanging out with Frederick Douglass in DC celebrating King Donald?

Non-zero chance Karoline Leavitt does not know President Kennedy is dead... Strong hints of "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice."

LinkedIn trying a year-end “wrapped” in this year of all years

Emails I Didn’t Read:

Finally finished wonderful Scorsese doc tonight. Which made me want to revisit some films, including a few I didn’t favor as much on first viewing (I’ve already reevaluated Bringing Out the Dead some time ago, better than I realized). I may rewatch Kundun. What are Marty films that improved for you?

Whoa wasn’t expecting not one but two Scanners moments in #Fallout S2 premiere. 🤯

jesus fucking christ

Just ran across the Albert Brooks documentary on my HBOMax queue and felt like crying, not just for me but for Albert. May be awhile before I can watch that one again. (Rob Reiner interviews his childhood pal throughout the doc, in case you haven’t seen it.)

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

Nothing more romantic than recreating the bleak final moment of THE GRADUATE.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

at Dame magazine I wrote about the "crisis of masculinity" and how raising a trans daughter really underlines that doubling down on the idea that we need more masculinity really hurts ppl of all genders. www.damemagazine.com/2025/12/16/w...

Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws. n.pr/48UTa7g

How job listings look like to me right now: “BlorfAI is hiring a content notetaker FinTechComPak is hiring a junior copy finagler and fantoozler MephiztoAI is hiring an AI writer and head of content DroneTech WarMonger division is hiring a writer BippityBoppityAI is hiring a senior copy wackadoo”

Desperately needed a few minutes of laughs after our sad news-spew this weekend, so @pftompkins.bsky.social unfurling an aptly nutty RFK Jr. impression/character on @cbbworld.bsky.social today hit the spot. "The adhesive in Band-Aids causes lesbianism."

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.
