On Giving Tuesday, Quinta Brunson has teamed up with the School District of Philadelphia to establish a new fund so students in our poorest public schools can go on field trips, just like the kids on Abbott Elementary. Just I did growing up, going to the Franklin Institute. Join me and give today.

I’m sorry to share this fucknut’s fuckery but… is he just dropped in using Photoshop?

We at @treblezine.bsky.social are back on our end-of-year bullshit. Our top 100 songs of ‘25 include my takes on @nin.com, @backxwash.bsky.social, Lady Gaga and more.

How it started / How it’s going

I missed this back in August: Social Security’s chief data officer quit, basically saying ongoing misconduct and his inability to review it constituted a hostile work environment. This was his resignation letter (via @wired.com). He’s now running for Maryland’s state senate.

Soooo a mentally ill man was able to get a gun? You don’t say. apnews.com/article/laka...

If you’re in Tennessee’s 7th, vote for Aftyn Behn on Tuesday and tell your friends and neighbors to as well.

This Philadelphia Eagles team suddenly has strong 2023 energy, and I don't like it one bit.

Timeline cleanse! A great thrift store find, ironic humor for fellow #sports and especially #baseball fans. Are you getting the cream or the clear this holiday season?

Trump and his lampreys equated criminal acts with acts of war, elevating mere guilt-by-association to the level of invasion, and way too many of your neighbors went along with it.

#Thanksgiving menu in progress: GO BIRD.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Tomorrow when you're watching the Macy's Parade, remember that whenever you see one of these "all-star" marching band or cheerleading groups, what you're seeing is a for-profit company that's charging kids thousands of dollars + travel costs to participate in the parade and do some tourist stuff.

People brandish or fire guns near, and even at, the White House every few years. It’s sad and scary every time. So of course I can’t wait to see this one escalate to the imposition of martial law. 🙄

Thanks for nothing, Georgia. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Strong FSOL/Orb energies on the newest @oneohtrix.bsky.social LP, which I wrote up for Album of the Week over at @treblezine.bsky.social.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Genius

This young man has it exactly right.

Lists of Jewish academics? What could possibly go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

Now THAT is a falling domino…

The Reddit watermark is hiding a shark eating an underwater cable.

'EUSEXUA Afterglow' keeps the party going as a companion to its January-released predecessor www.treblezine.com/f...

First things first: Stop saving your exclusives for a fucking book.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I want to tell you what we know about Trump’s truly sh*tty economy. Then I’ll suggest 10 things that Democrats should pledge to do about it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-truly-shtty-economy

Wild theory (in my own head): Trump’s name hasn’t been scrubbed from the fed’s Epstein files. Where possible, it’s been REPLACED by names of Democratic enemies, names of Republican “fall guys,” 5-letter surnames. Weaken the case by pointing it in impossible directions (away from Trump).

Biderman’s Chart of Coercion. Seen by POWs, abuse survivors… and residents of dictatorships. (H/t Brooke LaLone.)

Those files are either (a.) finally scrubbed to Trump’s liking, (b.) lost in the East Wing, or (c.) sealed as part of the newly “reopened” DOJ “investigation.”

Share this with Congressional reps in your sphere, and reach out to them here to support releasing the rest of the Epstein files: ujoin.co/campaigns/40...

Highly recommend the “Dreamworld” surrealism exhibit at the Philly Art Museum (@philamuseum.bsky.social). Great curation/organization of well-known favorites and deep-cut names.

This aged well, @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social, take a bow. youtu.be/nu6C2KL_S9o?...

I normally stick to just cream and sugar in my Wawa seasonal #coffee, but their Holiday flavor with Irish Cream creamer is a POWER MOVE.

Trump giving a $2k “tariff refund” to every US adult would cost more than $516 billion. Lol, that’s never happening.

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism." But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

Threads is awash in theories that Trump & Friends have plundered everything from the SNAP emergency funds to Fort Knox, and I’m starting to believe them.

Yes, I walked through a small museum today. But I also spent 4 hours driving highways. There is NO WAY my Fitbit clocked me at almost 11k steps. Could it be tracking every pedal press? Or misreading turns of/taps on the steering wheel?

Holy shit

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

@chalkbeat.org Philadelphia and Germantown Info Hub hosted an event on November 1 that used the last round of SDP school closures—and subsequent effects on the city—to talk about the ones to come. #philly #phled www.chalkbeat.org/philadelphia...

Only 5% of Americans believe that professional athletes *never* alter the way they play in order to help gamblers win bets. By a 40% margin (7% vs 47%), Americans believe legalized gambling has a negative impact on sports. This is a crisis. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

#Philly #phled: SDP’s facilities planning process and draft plan release paused through winter; citywide survey forthcoming. The delay is a demand won by Stand Up for Philly Schools. Please continue planning to testify at or attend upcoming BoE meetings on schools’ behalf. share.inquirer.com/IZ0s3f

#Philly #phled We may be running out of time to address SDP’s school closure plan, one that still has no specifics. You can voice your concerns to the Board of Education directly on November 6. www.instagram.com/reel/DQnq6Vq...
