The eating of faces by leopards will continue until morale improves.

At the end of 2025, a few things make me incandescently angry. One them being that this country is governed by a man who is physically, mentally, and emotionally unfit to lead. But our media system is equally unfit to cover this reality. My wife knows not to broach this territory in polite company.

This is worse than Ezra Klein’s “Charlie Kirk was doing it right” bullshit. MTG is an order of magnitude more cynical — and dangerous — than Kirk, but the Bulwark is happy to tell you she’s “doing democracy right.” Successfully operating the machinery of government to harm people isn’t the goal.

Rest in peace to Mike F, one of the all-time greats

Earlier this year, Republicans tried to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities in their 2026 budget, while proposing a 13% increase in defense spending. The Institute of Museum and Library Services just got their funding back through courts.

Health Speculations Swirl As Trump Seen With Damage Numbers Above Head https://theonion.com/health-speculations-swirl-as-trump-seen-with-damage-numbers-above-head/

i too have begun watching the straight man hockey podcasts discuss heated rivalry. this is the forum of athens to me

I think it's really worth noting that literally ZERO mainstream media outlets were talking about Trump claiming a land strike on Venezuela until a few others and I noticed this post here on Sunday and started asking questions. That goes completely unacknowledged in coverage.

Just went down the YouTube 🐇 🕳️ on the making of “Sinners.” Give that film all of the awards. #FilmSky

Cori Close is right to be disappointed in the lack of media coverage yesterday. Everyone watches women’s sports, but no one wants to pay a beat writer to cover them. How many stories are being left on the table?

My grandma and great grandma survived 1918. My grandma was sickly the rest of her life, though she lived 80 more years. My great grandma never fully healed and lived 15 more years. There was no damn vaccine, I promise you. It's why my grandma believed in them so strongly later. F this dude.

Giselle took half of everything

i wonder if anyone is going to ask the other question: why are kids confiding in AI how they feel about *insert mental health topic* and not confiding in a real person? or are we just going to use this as another “AI bad” thing and move on? getting rid of AI won’t fix the problems that got us here

2/ However, Obama was born in Hawaii, not Africa. Secondly, more Somali refugees were placed in Minnesota under Bush than under Obama, and refugees who entered the country as adults will have paid an average of $21,000 more in taxes than they received in benefits over their first 20 years.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

André!!!! Good job!!!!!

Congrats to Clarice on her placement in the Top 10 Reindeers by The Guardian and her eligibility for HIP designation

true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

I appreciate so much that one of my favorite #LUFC fans is also heavily steeped in news from all over Africa. It’s the rare kind of two-for-one deal that keeps me on social media.

Good morning, Bluesky, you beautiful pack of feral hounds. Happy Boxing Day to those who celebrate. 🎉 #GoodMorning

my favorite past time when talking to much younger men is to give them advice on wooing women that is really just care and feeding instructions for iguanas

I can’t believe they’re doing this to the only person on earth who’s won the FIFA peace prize.

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

This is also true in Norway. People take road rules so seriously. It’s pretty great.

This is beautiful

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the #NWSL leadership kept shitting the bed.

too much is happening right now

Annual holiday challenge: try explaining the US Electoral College to a bunch of Europeans over dinner. In Europe 🇪🇺 “Do you let your cows vote?!” is a real question you might get.

one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players

This is the kind of op-ed Bari Weiss would have written at the NYT. Glad to see the “Column from nowhere” industrial complex hasn’t died now that Bari has gone mainstream.

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

lol at Bari not knowing about the distribution process for foreign markets and not asking and no one volunteering the information.

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

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Still recovering.. but it’s been wonderful seeing so many of you say such nice things. The wedding was magical. No other way to put it. Amor 🙏❤️

I'm pretty inactive here, but wanted to take the chance to plug some of my recent work for @aljazeera.com about the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations. First up: a detailed, all-you-need-to-know kinda guide about the tournament. #AFCON2025 www.aljazeera.com/sports/2025/...

I know that nights like tonight can feel frustrating — and they are, in fact, bad — but, I also do think that nights like this show us how many people are still striving to do good journalism with accountability at its core. And how clear it is when there are efforts to stop that journalism.

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

I am pleased

Bit by bit, PG&E restores power in San Francisco everywhere except my house. I’ve decided my retribution for a freezer of thawed meat will be feeding chicken thighs to the coyotes in Golden Gate Park. #SanFrancisco #PGE #CoyoteTimeYall

HAPPY AFCON OPENING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

One of my favorite things about 2025 (and there aren’t many) has been the #LUFC contingent here on Bluesky. 💛🤍🦋

Good morning/afternoon Leeds fans

It is the winter solstice. The annual day when Superman notices that the Earth is drifting away from the Sun and he goes and pushes it back into position. Thanks, Superman.
