Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on

Good. This is not business as usual.

James Talarico Exposes Insane Bill to Replace School Counsellors with Untrained Religious Chaplains in Texas

The Waterloo Sunset episode is more than fine. It's one of the best examples of the unique angles Hickey brings to his history, along with all the essential details, story, and context you can hope for.

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims. So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability. Good to know.

If I had to put money down: Bill Clinton was a big fish whom Epstein was angling for, hard, but didn't bring in. That's why he can afford to talk like this.

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions

love that cbs is playing whack a mole. and losing.

K. So. Now wut???? He's still destroying everything; we know, our country. America the beautiful. Some Judges are helping him do this. Not supposed to be this way. SCOTUS failed us, bad! We need y'all to fight for us; we're pretty pissed off, RN! Thank you! @normeisen.bsky.social 🗽⚖️🇺🇸‼️

Are you shittin' me !?

For months I’ve been pleading with major media to say TRUMP IS BUILDING A DICTATORSHIP But instead we get soft-serve headlines like this one in the New York Times. 1/4 🧵🧵🧵🧵

"It's the economy stupid"! That's all most Americans care about, Sadly. We will take back the house and Senate in a year.

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

A pretty damn good reminder that Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership know a shit ton more about how to maneuver with the extremely little power voters gave them, than the Do Something bloviators on social media do. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there’s plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.
