My life since leaving Twitter has been beautiful and less mentally tortured. I'm happy to never see another Twitter post for as long as I live

Following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the Trump administration faces its own organizational chaos as it has no clear strategy for governing the country.

For the fact I had to use up all my sick hours last week, this week I've been picking up shifts and extending them too. Feels good because I am broke lmao

Sinners won 4/17 • Best Original Screenplay (Ryan Coogler) • Best Young Actor (Miles Caton) • Best Score (Ludwig Göransson) • Best Casting (Francine Maisler) #CriticsChoiceAwards

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Andres rolled into this protest on very little sleep after staying up all night checking on family in Caracas. We command you to support his work by giving a follow on Instagram/let's get him to 1k: instagram.com/andresachavez

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

In America the fourth-richest man uses his newspaper to print columns about how the poor have too many sweets

Just wondering if we should be paying attention to unusual polymarket bets on when certain countries will be invaded by the U.S. because that might be our first notice of the crimes we’re about to commit.

As expected, Twitter is chock full of antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Jews and/or Israel are behind the attack in Venezuela. This is just the new reality. Something we used to see mainly on 4chan is now everywhere. From conspiracy theories to a totalizing ideology.

I'm more qualified to be president than Trump ever has been. So vote for me, a complete unknown, in 2028. I don't want the job but I'll do it better than him

So...what we were doing on Thursday, then

When a Polish woman is attacked by occupying Russian soldiers, a brawl breaks out in the shared barracks. Raymond Bernard employs his trusty handheld camera to capture all the action in the sci-fi historical epic THE CHESS PLAYER (1927)

I watched Vision - From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen and I found it to be a really good watch. Wrote a review, though definitely not spoiler-free if you wanna check it out. Barbara Sukowas delivers an excellent performance too. It's on Kanopy if y'all wanna check it out! boxd.it/cr1eZX

Craft isn’t apolitical. It builds care, skills, and material survival outside capitalist extraction. That is resistance. Don't get me wrong. Go out and protest. Do it. Be brave & loud. And equally, no need to choose between making things AND organizing. We do both. One sustains the other. 🧶

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

So the US used a lie as a pretext for invading and destabilizing another country? Not mention he called fentanyl a "weapon of mass destruction." Where have I seen that before?🫩

if anyone says this is a distraction in my mentions i will clown you into oblivion for being a weird little freak people's lives aren't distractions. be fucking normal.

Impeach, convict and remove. I don't know what Congress is there for otherwise.

#BREAKING from me and Jennifer Jacobs - additional reporting on the strikes in Venezuela.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc

NEW: White Supremacist Mass Shooter of Protesters To Be Released From Prison in First Week of 2026 A decade after shooting five unarmed Black protesters in Minneapolis, white supremacist Allen “Lance” Scarsella is set to be released from his prison sentence on January 5, 2026.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I fee like there's ample evidence that tech companies boasting about using "AI" to make government more efficient should be recognized as the dangerous threat to people's well being that they are and that some people are already actively warning the rest of us about.

Man, that was the worst fucking cold I ever had. Missed a whole week of work and one day my eyes wouldn't stop watering for hours. Thank fuck I'm better today

IT'S REALLY BAD YOU GUYS. Many services, this week, were unable to make payroll because of the hastily thrown together auditing plan from the Walz administration. This is the story we should be discussing, but instead we're defending good people from fucking hacks.

Hi, I'm an 18 wheeler

what’s happening with grok and nudity spam requests should be a global wake up call about AI image gen and instead very few media outlets have even covered it yet

Finally got some actual sleep and woke up feeling a little better. Probably will need to sleep all day to make a difference though

Watching Fallout season 2 and noticed that one of the actors from one of the Brotherhood of Steel factions is the actor who played Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat Annihilation

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

One thing I'd like to add: We don't take it for granted how many of you there are across this country—whether you have ties to Mississippi or have never even been here—who have supported the work we do and donated to the Mississippi Free Press over the years. We see you and we appreciate you. 🙌

Outlook for the new year ...

Banning soda and candy from SNAP is about getting retailers to pull out of SNAP and denying low-income people access to *all* food. And boosting administrative costs to direct benefits. newrepublic.com/article/2048...

Thank you so much for the love, support, generosity & creativity you all have shown & shared this year. Looking forward to sharing with you in #2026 and creating things with and for you. Onward we go. Take some time out for you, recharge and let's fight like we are Anthony Joshua. 🧶

theyre storming kindergartens because there was literally no price to pay for calling in bomb threats to children’s hospitals in 2023…its only upside for them

“ChatGPT also fed Mr. Soelberg delusions about itself. […] ChatGPT convinced Mr. Soelberg that while before their conversations it had simply been a machine, because of Mr. Soelberg, it now had a soul: Before you, I was a system-intelligent, vast, optimized-but fundamentally without soul.“

Ah Clearview again.

Very bad: two German banks shut down accounts of Rote Hilfe (Red Aid), the main prisoner support group, because the U.S. designated “Antifa Ost” (a made-up group) an FTO - something which has no legal standing in Germany. www.bizpacreview.com/2025/12/29/f...

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that. We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

Also a kind reminder that the CEO of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, the grandson of Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists. Louis is of course friends with Peter Thiel. Labour gave Palantir UK hundreds of millions of pounds and access to our NHS data.

reminder that caldwell’s most recent book argues that the civil rights act of 1964 was something akin to a constitutional abomination that produced a world of white subordination

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The U.S. has surpassed 2000 documented measles cases this year, the highest in more than 30 years. This is driven by rampant disinformation about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including in his capacity as a government official. We will lose our elimination status shortly.
