pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

@denizcamp.bsky.social The highest compliment that I can give to a pun or wordplay is to say, "oh, FU" or a sarcastic "boooo" and that was absolutely my reaction to the reveal in Ultimates #19 today. I am really looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up!

Well, fuck

The highlight of my Christmas gifts this year was a fancy phone stand that my fiancee got me with a quotation from Fantastic Four #25 by @ryannorth.ca and @carlosgomezartist.bsky.social. I had enjoyed that issue so much when I had her read it, which she remembered and made a note of.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

To me, my X-Mas!

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Well, now I have something new to shout when startled.

well if it's a radio play then it obviously wouldn't have been seen now would it

i knew he would never cheat on Friederike

Watching BRAZIL (1985, dir. Terry Gilliam) really prepared me for authoritarian cultists being proud of their tacky plastic surgery

Front Mission 4 is an all-time favorite RPG that I like to revisit from time to time. It feels like these days it's going to be hard to play a game about the U.S. invading Venezuela in what felt to me even as a teenager like someone turning directly to camera and going, "This is about the Iraq War"

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

I think about this tweet every day

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Stop printing lies in the newspaper. There need to be consequences for printing lies in the newspaper. He literally says and believes exactly this, several times per day and on camera.

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

A person might even imagine a film that would satirize vapid spectacle-driven television and which could be called something like Network.

Can anyone help my wonderful and perfect friend in the Boston area

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

Whenever there are these weird, obsequious kinds of decisions at large organizations, I often think about how many meetings had to happen for this to occur. Like, were there multiple design meetings for this hollow gesture of a trophy? Was someone proud of their design?

CALM IS MORE CONDUCTIVE TO CREATIVITY THAN IS ANXIETY

Dreamed I got a chastising message at work that said, “You should know the names of all the Muppets,” and someone stuck up for me, saying, “I don’t think this one has a name,” and they attached a picture of like a white Gonzo with no eyes

I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

Throwing this out to the four winds: The Florida Keys are where I live, and I care about them quite a lot. If you have info on ICE and CBP activity in the area, please contact me. I'm a reporter cataloguing civil rights abuses. (If you have info on abuses elsewhere, I'll take those, too.)

strangely inspirational

The world if @liberalcurrents.com were the global standard bearer of liberalism instead of the @economist.com.

Nobody else talks about color revolutions this way. Also, it's obviously good that soldiers refused to fire on civilian protesters during said color revolutions, and insane to talk about it like it's some bad thing.

Invoking "color revolutions" as a boogeyman like this really goes to show how much these guys have cooked their brains on Russian propaganda specifically.

There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

Maybe she thinks it was a public-pilate partnership.

HOLDING BACK PROTECTS YOUR VITAL ENERGIES

I love so much whenever the bot posts whatever is going on here

Personally I think "Zhang Fei got hammered, stole a wagon & distributed booty to grateful peasant children" is a wonderful basis for a holiday but what do I know

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

you should support liberal currents!

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

clarence thomas has no jurisprudential argument, he just hates women and thinks the constitution doesn’t protect a varia suit

I wanna be acting FBI director like Dan Bongino

Every American should have this in their wallet:

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean
