The US is trapped in a permanent election cycle; it’s not an accident. Binary parties, unlimited money, and nonstop campaigning are exhausting generations of voters and blocking true governance. This is an important read on how democracy should work. www.patreon.com/posts/electi... #BindingChaos

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

I don’t make New Year resolutions, only threats.

I hope the “influencers tapping their fingers on things they want to draw attention to in a video” era finally dies in 2026.

On a flight in 1993, Trump and Epstein "are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old."

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

Anyone who still supports Trump is a pathetic loser.

The least that 2025 can do is give us a Christmas miracle a week early to make up for this truly nightmarish year.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — TikTok signs deal to sell US unit to American investors, including Oracle, Silver Lake.

The sky over northern Illinois is fantastic tonight. 😍

Dipshit is looking for any excuse to start a war with Venezuela just so he can steal their oil.

Instagram, you can stop telling me that adding audio to a post helps it perform better. I KNOW. You don’t need to tell me every single time I make a new post. If I want to add audio, I will, but I probably won’t because static posts with audio are hella annoying.

Winter is my least favorite season because the dry air means I get zapped by static electricity every few minutes. But it also means that I can usually rub my hands together, build a charge, and zap people on command when they annoy me, so that's fun.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

just. brutal.

At least once a month I’ll randomly think about the scene in Tomb Raider (2001) where Angelina Jolie’s character casually does bungee cord acrobatics in her foyer and then fights off a squadron of bad guys while still hooked in the harness. Art.

We’ve known since he mocked that disabled reporter that Trump is an ableist monster who doesn’t care about the lives of people with disabilities, so I’m not sure what image he’s still trying to control.

If we just listened to and believed survivors like we should, we (the public) probably wouldn't have to look at all these gross pictures from the Epstein estate. 🤮

Cuellar accepted a pardon from Trump, who clearly wanted the congressman personally indebted to him. That's not what a real opposition party does. Democrats on the Appropriations committee should vote against reinstating Cuellar.

I'm told House Dems on the Appropriations Committee are holding a secret vote *this* afternoon on whether to reinstate Cuellar. If you've got a rep who is on the committee, a quick call would do some good.

As someone who works in social media, I did in fact LOL at the idea of trying to sift through five years of anyone’s social media. Even with a program, that will probably be a slog, especially if you’re gonna do it to everyone who visits the U.S.

Dislocating a rib the same week I have my period is just rude because now sneezing is WAY MORE AWFUL THAN USUAL.

Me, a typography nerd: switching from a Serif font (Times New Roman) to a Sans Serif font (Calibri) actually makes your communications more accessible and easier to read, so it's completely unsurprising that this bullshit administration would switch back.

My mother is on the phone with an automated system trying to schedule her annual wellness exam. Every time she answers a question, the automated system makes a clacking noise to mimic the sound of typing, as if it's taking notes like a live human. 😂

I wonder what life is like on the timeline where Princess Diana didn't marry Charles, Al Gore won the election, Steve Irwin stayed home sick that day, and podcasts were never invented. I bet it's really nice.

Okay but has anyone ever seen Colin Jost and James Talarico together in the same room???

I love listening in on the "conversations" my mother has with the cat. Just now, she was whisper-fighting with Serif, telling her how she needs to get her shit together and figure out how to not track litter out of the laundry room.

“Every accusation is an admission,” keeps holding true for this administration.

Existing shouldn't be this damn stressful all the time.

Went to a White Elephant party tonight. The theme was “dress like you did in high school.” So I rolled up in sweats over Soffe shorts, a shirt covered in puffy paint lettering, my varsity soccer sweatshirt, and a pre-wrap headband. My brother said I nailed it. 😂

I will say this much about the 2026 PANTONE Color of the Year: at least it's not orange. 😅

"Do it scared!" Joke's on you because I do everything at least mildly scared, thanks to my anxiety disorder.

"Jon! You're being too Midwestern right now! You're going to freeze!" - me yelling to my neighbor as I spot him shoveling his driveway in a sweatshirt, gym shorts, and slippers.

i hope trump and republicans keep running on slogans like “the epstein files are democrat hoax” and “affordability is a scam”

Making the American Dream sound like it's tied to monetary success was probably a big mistake in hindsight.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

BRING ON THE SNOW.

Hey bozo, the average pay is higher in blue states than red states. Did you think of that? Stop this plutocratic gaslighting.

Status: emotionally hungover after seeing Wicked: For Good.

For years, MAGA influencers demanded the release of the Epstein files. Now that 20,000 documents have been released, many raising questions about Donald Trump, they're shrugging.

I’m seeing Wicked: For Good on Sunday with a group of friends. But first, we’re rewatching Part 1 at a friend’s house while we eat brunch and then heading off to the theater for Part 2 after. It’s going to be a splediferous day! 🫧

“Alex, what are you most excited about in the new house? Oh, your closet? Is that because you’ll have more space to store your clothes?” Yeah, sure, storage for my clothes. 💅

This is disgusting.

My out of office is on until December 1st while we're moving, so if you need me, no you don't.

I told Dad how the internet has dubbed the Clinton-Trump rumor the "Gulp of America," and he laughed so hard that I was genuinely afraid he was going to hurt himself.
