The car engine one is so good

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Oh my gods, this was my FAVORITE toy as a kid! And it was ridiculously dangerous. 😅

Trump disclosed the strike of Friday, Dec 26. I don't think I've seen any action by Congress over this

Toby Morton did this. He bought “trumpkennedycenter.org” and “trumpkennedycenter.com”

tfw you forgot to register the domain name, and someone else snatched it.

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

“…authoritarianism, this was possibly one of its most grotesquely Coen brothers-style moments in an administration overflowing with them.”

“…about his accomplishments and complain about “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” In a second Donald Trump presidency bursting with constant scandal, corrupt ineptitude, and cartoonish…

There are people who still refuse to believe that Trump is a shallow mediocrity and every time they launch into some 3D chess explanation I think, how are you that naive?

So I stopped going to Starbucks for mundane "you guys really hate your workers?" reasons but I am saving a fortune and their big money drinks are sugar bombs that I don't need in my life.

I mean, exactly zero of the 9/11 hijackers were in the country illegally, right? Or is the argument that they were here on tourist visas or some such for what was OBVIOUSLY a business trip? When asked at Customs "What is the purpose of your visit?" they didn't reply "Terrorism"?

If this unprovoked airstrike means America is at war with Venezuela, then it is also at war with Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, and Somalia. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. What word we use to describe these attacks is less important than accepting that the US is a white supremacist rogue state.

How I am walking out of 2025

The US is at war with Venezuela. No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity. US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

Bingo

Brian Austin Green was joyriding around my college campus in a golf cart and almost hit me.

The next pandemic will be catastrophic.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

Mamdani has AOC-level powers to make bigoted middle aged white dudes lose their damned minds.

watched stranger things S5E6-7 last night finally and I gotta say, the portrayal of Will’s coming out was really beautifully well done especially in context of it being set in the early 80s. It was maybe the only “romantic” (but not) storyline that actually served the plot in a meaningful way

Does ANYBODY have an answer to this? Watch #NightThoughts on Hulu

Another home run by Charlotte - "It's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of “60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers"

What Chad said, and also don’t forget that she’s still a massive asshole – always was, always will be. Don’t buy anything she says about turning over a new leaf. She’s a rat fleeing a sinking ship.

Oh well if Putin told him then it must be true

Ja, Donald Trump ist ein Sexmonster.

I think a lot about the scene the media made about the Saddam Hussein statue being toppled For anyone outside the US to have even an ounce of faith in Americans to turn the page on doing politics the way Trump does politics, leaders will have to ritualistically perform expulsion of all vestiges

The only thing Trump said repeatedly after his meeting with Zelensky is that Putin wants peace, even though Putin is increasing the bombing of civilian apartment buildings & other civilian targets. Then Trump lies with his both-sides-ism, as if to imply Zelensky is hitting civilian targets too.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, recent USPS reforms are making it logistically impossible for the agency to postmark all letters on the date received, and services that rely on postmarks to prove deadline adherence shouldn't do so anymore.

Trump's not planning a war with Venezuela; instead, he's going to starve the people until they overthrow Maduro, even though punishing Cubans with an embargo for 6 decades failed to unseat Fidel. Trump will starve Venezuelans to death as Bibi is doing to Gazans. www.rawstory.com/alternet-pos...

I had a record breaking amount of cartoons this year due in most part to my position at CALÓ News, helping me produce a ton of local cartoons about Los Angeles, but also enter competitions with a more varied portfolio of work. This helped me win the 2025 RFK Award. laloalcaraz.com/the-year-202...

It's not crazy to conclude that Trump has killed countless people of color in Nigeria on Christmas Day to spite Pope Leo, who asked the world for peace for at least one day, the Savior's birthday. Could Trump be furious at Pope Leo for saying that Jesus is the Savior and not him?

Saw Mike Lee’s execrable proposal a few days ago—it’s bad. Sadly in line w/ the increasing momentum to expand private actors’ privilege to use violence. Darrell Miller & I wrote about this regrettable right-wing movement that we called “the new outlawry” www.columbialawreview.org/content/the-...

To be clear, “letters of marque and reprisal” are what they used in the 17th century to legitimize piracy against enemy ships during times of war.

It’s the “for other purposes” part that really nails it home. It would mean private US ships could attack a range of ships from other countries. For decades the US has taken the lead on cracking down on international piracy. This would instead put us on the list. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in...

If Trump just issued letters of marque and reprisal by executive order, then those who accepted them, and attacked ships — And according to the ancient relevant laws kept half the prize money and gave half to the government— Might be charged with piracy if his orders were overturned. Just wow.😮

My god. Letters of Marque & Reprisal. As though the US lacked a navy. And to be used for aggressive purposes. Bordering on legalizing piracy. I’m only surprised that Trump didn’t try to do it by proclamation— or should I say, executive order? I guess legal vulnerability?

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Great little thread about Die Hard. The single greatest stage performance I've ever seen live was Alan Rickman in "Les Liasions Dangereuse" on B'way. and it turns out Joel Silver saw it too, which is how Rickman was cast.

this CEO is trying to blame law enforcement and I'm not going to stop them, but in fact these heists are almost always inside jobs. how else would the thieves have enough information to target high-value goods?
