i like putting on some music and doing a puzzle in times like these

im choosing to believe them when they say they're going to keep invading countries

The New York Times and Washington Post learned of the impending commission of a major crime and did nothing

lmfao

one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

does anyone know a good spot in NYC (or alternatively a good place I can order from online) for nice quality chiles. thinking of making a hot sauce and so looking for cayenne, fresno, etc for base flavor that I can buy in bulk

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

99 Senators for Rubio and he 100% earns the Hague in less than a year. Good work everyone.

my strongly held prior is that the only area where you’re likely to see refusals would be orders to fire on protestors while the troops are deployed domestically.

I’m not naive about this, my formative political memories are (1) the Supreme Court handing its preferred presidential candidate an election and (2) that president doing illegal wars. But I find it pretty grim that the main lesson of American civics education is basically a joke.

In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

unironically the real lord of the rings is the friends we made along the way

true friendship is frodo shrugging off merry’s questions about the black rider and instead saying he needs to get to brie, and merry, without a second thought or any further questions, is like “follow me.” that’s a fuckin ride or die right there. what a king

whenever I see some repulsive bullshit from twitter, especially related to grok and CSAM

lmaoooo this though

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

if anyone has the premie-not-in-focus, thot selfie, please share, i need to show it to someone learning of it for the first time cc @helldude.bsky.social @wyattprivilege.bsky.social

watching oregon texas tech and i absolutely think miami beats either if these teams

sean penn's perfomance is one of the highlights of OBAA but it's such a tonal mismatch with the cinema verite visual style imo. in theory the absurdity could be heightened by the realism of the cinematography but instead it just feels like he's in the wrong movie

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

BlueSky: in 2026 may we see a Reconstruction Caucus elected to Congress to scourge the evil-doer inshallah Twitter: 2026—year of the orbiting data center? This new year’s, my resolution is to do all I can to help put AI in space. Threads: is it just me or does 2026 has less aura than 2025?

it’s not Miami Ohio State without some phenomenally awful reffing favoring OSU

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

The kids probably don't remember when Bari Weiss tweeted "Immigrants: They get the job done" after Mirai Nagasu (not an immigrant) landed a triple axel in the Olympics

megan mcmardle not being on here is one of the site's greatest blessings. importing her dumb takes via screenshots is like placing cursed soil in an enchanted forest and watching the trees shrivel to ash

Cecilia Giménez, famed for ‘Monkey Christ’ mural mishap, dies at 94

You know in movies where they kinda wipe their hand gently over the face of a dead guy and it closes their eyes. It would be a good gag if they did that on a guy with glasses. Either his eyes close or the glasses turn into sunglasses.

One of the best to ever do it

Connection Purpose Power Mambo

everyone was right to attack his character and good faith at the time and they're right to attack it now. Ilan Wurman is a man of low character, a racist fascist pig. anyone still friends with him in light of this obvious truth is also of low character

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

anyone who still defends pelosi is part of the problem with the democratic party tbh

did his supposedly liberal colleagues who defended his good character back when he first started this bullshit with birthright citizenship ever acknowledge they were rubes and apologize? or just quietly slink away? i blocked them so i legit do not know

BREAKING: i have discovered a new cache of buttons pics

White men and women re-elected Donald Trump and are to blame for all this shit. It's pretty simple. Any other take is wrong.

for the holidays: I went blog mode on my modern Star Wars pet peeve: people quoting Kylo Ren like he’s right kotaku.com/star-wars-la...

Took my favorite Christmas present from Gertrude, polka dot suspenders, out for a spin this AM. Wore them to Target while I bought my monthly supply of Ensure. Some local youths approached me and, pointing at the suspenders, asked: "why you so goofy, Unc?" Here's why that's a problem for The Left:

what audiobook should I listen to this week while I putter around the apartment, work on a puzzle, etc.? just finished all 4 Hyperion audiobooks

idk if this is crazy but I kinda would be fine if the new GM for the dolphins doesn't draft a QB high. they have so many needs, if you don't think a guy is the future, don't waste a pick on him just to draft a QB imo.

either way, good for them getting a head start on the day

thought my upstairs neighbors were having some lively and loud and bed-shaking mid morning sex then realized they just had an overfull laundry going

The wages of liberal transphobia and xenophobia is political death

Famously Sauron is known for never allowing his home to he penetrated by intruders.
