We got the snow.

Finally watched the new Spinal Tap last night. I always forget what a great comedic actor Rob Reiner was. 😢

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

"Honestly, thank god I had my drum with me because otherwise, I would have been empty-handed at what soon became a full-fledged baby shower."

Pope Leo decried conditions for Palestinians in Gaza in his Christmas sermon on Thursday, in an unusually direct appeal during what is normally a solemn, spiritual service on the day Christians across the globe celebrate the birth of Jesus. For @reuters.com:

Where’s the good ol’ American outrage on this one?

“‘The dramatic increase in use-of-force incidents in 2024 is an alarming yet predictable result of the Adams administration’s return to broken windows policing and aggressive tactics,’ said Daniel Lambright, special counsel for criminal justice litigation at the NYCLU.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Good fucking morning to everyone except Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy — who’s spent more time this year lecturing Americans on airport dress codes than preventing crashes or reducing delays. I say that as I sit on the tarmac. Again. Delayed, of course. I miss Pete Buttigieg.

Heh.

And in today’s edition of shocking-not-shocking

Also, so we’re all clear, not EVERY journalist in NYC has a press card. The people who require press cards are those who cover public events, such as protests. Very few people who’ve been working 20 years, respectfully, have the type of stamina needed to be on the ground enough to merit a card.

You already know this story but @charlotteclymer.bsky.social does such a great job of putting it in context and including allll the details.

Holy shit practically the entire Heritage legal center resigned www.nationalreview.com/news/exclusi...

Let CBS News know how you feel here: help.cbsnews.com/s/article/Ho...

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

Bari Weiss won't hear your remarks about how disgusted you are with her toadying to the admin but on the other hand yes she will, these people are absolute dogs for attention and would eat their own vomit on live TV if it meant even three people would notice them

Does Ozempic make your head grow too big for your body? Asking for a friend who hosted SNL over the weekend.

Appalling betrayal by a woman DA and a woman NYPD chief. Not sure how Melinda Katz or Jessica Tisch live with themselves. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social please tell me you will finally start holding police officers accountable.

“I am learning so much from this year’s catalog about how to overthink coffee…In my day, you measured bloom time strictly by seeing if you’d grown pubes yet or not. Anyway, I’m glad to discover ‘sesame’ as a new synonym for ‘white.’” Thanks to @lyz.bsky.social for this one.

Take note, NYC.

So. Many. Narcissists. I’m glad the French are giving this “book” the respect it deserves.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Just when we start to like him he reminds us all of why we hate him.

Ronald Reagan laughed at AIDS victims and as president produced many reforms that fuck us to this very day (like taking away the Fairness doctrine) Fuck Ronald Reagan, he was a shit human and no one of decency should look up to him.

Reagan? The trickle down economics guy? The guy who fired all the air traffic controllers? The guy who ignored the AIDS crisis? THAT guy? Nope, he was the start of the decline that got us to where we are now with Dementia Donny.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

I mean I’m not super up on health food but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to eat something that contains so many systems. Even if David’s last name is Protein.

Kind of ashamed of that one guy from New Jersey (though, unsurprisingly, south Jersey).

Both of my senators @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov voted for this. Yet another example of how they are spineless/opportunistic/have no moral compass or thoughts of their own. I’m appalled and disgusted by all the punching down for what they think is expedient. Vote them out.

💥 BOOM 🖕🧊✈️ “When we’re talking about the values of our city, and we stand up here and we say time after time that we support our immigrant community and that we are a welcoming city — I cannot support a corporation that does not prescribe to that,” Council member Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez said.

Why is it so hard for candidates running for office to say “I reject AIPAC and I stand against genocide”?

live your life in such a way that donald trump goes on a long unhinged rant about you after you die, confirming the fact that your mere existence chapped his ass.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

I hope he keeps winning because I like his style politically but perhaps more importantly I really want to see Oliver Platt play him in the movie version.

Everyone who didn't say Charlie Kirk was a saint should be doxxed and fired from their jobs. Here's why it's fine that Donald Trump is celebrating Rob Reiner's death.

I’ve said this before, but it’s really something when what you thought was rock-bottom turns out to be rock-middle

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

“The only reason that he’s able to continue to harass me is because New Yorkers are paying for it,” Boylan said in an interview with THE CITY. “It never ends.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/15/t...

Class acts, these two.

Ugh Rand Paul the voice of reason.

Due to an act of Congress, the Epstein files must be released by Friday. Is Venezuela ready for the imminent invasion?

you do not have the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness if you live in a country that keeps you in a constant state of fear

Like a boss?

A nice little deck of cards could help keep current and former Trump administration fascists straight.

We had our flaws, sure. But I feel like we had a pretty decent thing going before we decided to start stabbing ourselves in the face.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has filed a federal lawsuit to halt President Trump’s plan to build a massive new ballroom on White House grounds. The administration sidestepped multiple federal laws by advancing the project without required reviews.
