I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

The heist, "caught on film", had texture and warmth and an indescribable aura of authenticity that it would have lacked had it been shot with digital cameras.

i gotta hand it to the "let's ban african immigrants from voting" lobby, they got the one spokesman who could convince me.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

If I didn’t see this myself on Truth Social I’d assume it was some phishing site

Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.

The moment when Sly realizes he has no hope of winning the Tommy Wiseau look-alike contest.

"there's a new serif in town"

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Authoritarian regimes often work by co-opting people into their crimes and thus giving them a vested interest in maintaining the regime lest crimes get punished. Old as the hills. Do none of you study history?

Excellent @joshtpm.bsky.social essay on the unsettling parallels between the "nabobs" of late 18th century -- i.e. British dudes getting insanely wealthy plundering India, and then deforming politics back home ... ... with the rise of tech billionaires today: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/will-...

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

A 🧵 How many newspaper Editorial Boards have called for Pres. Trump's impeachment (or resignation)? As far as we know, only one: @sentinelcolorado.com Our 2 part series: journalism, trust, press freedom & how a local newspaper serves its community-and democracy. open.substack.com/pub/mediaand...

(2/2) Noah Feldman and Neal Katyal will lose their shit. Ezra will say Roberts et al are doing justicing the right way. The Atlantic will do a special issue opposing it. But letting effete centrists gate-keepers control left-liberal discourse is why we are in such bad shape to begin with.

Wild: A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war. So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet, and discover a Chinese kill switch. (In Danish, use autotranslate:) www.zetland.dk/historie/svN...

ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today. Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings. But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess! He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

Watch: Fun chat about the legality of the presidential seal on beer pong balls with Brittany Lewis, for @forbes.com

Every sentence here is even crazier than the last.

She seems nice

I’m still thinking about this and it really is one of those “everyone thinks Elon Musk is a genius until he gets involved in your field” moments. I’m gonna be a total bore and think about this seriously, please don’t read on if you don’t care what a landscape architect thinks about this shit… 1/?

In every candid photo Trump looks like someone just told him he has rabies, but he doesn't understand what they're saying because he is also having a stroke

And notice: 11 stars—the number of states in the Confederacy. “Americanism” is the new fascism, as predicted.

No better way to really strike at the heart of illegal drug importation than by pardoning a significant public figure convicted of just that.

I bet if you blow the dust of the DEPARTMENT OF WAR sign it’d reveal the word CRIMES right after that

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Stephen Miller talks like every nerve in his body is forcefully trying to reject what his mind is telling it to say but he powers through anyway & yet the most remarkable thing about him is how his eyes are more soulless than Pinhead's while his appearance entirely What If Buster Bluth Had A Wario

According to the GAO, more full-time Walmart employees receive SNAP benefits than any other employer in the nation. Perhaps Walmart executives should spend more time puzzling over the ethics of that. www.gao.gov/assets/gao-2...

KPOP Demon Hunters is a movie about the importance of effective public health communication in this essay I will...

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Warthogs and meerkats do not usually have a close friendship, but often share a symbiotic relationship where they cooperate for mutual benefit. #DisneyFactFridays
