where are the big names now? is obama too cool to weigh in on people being shot in the face? i certainly don’t rate GWB at all but is he okay with the destruction of NATO? why is bill fucking kristol suddenly the only ~acceptably serious pundit~ willing to call out all this lawless absurdity

i can instantly recognize 'sandstorm' while being utterly unable to explain why it is memorable darude fallacy

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

thank you for this segue @us.theguardian.com

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

simply incredible that rick bowness has now been hired as head coach by eight different franchises his record in 14 seasons: 310 wins, 408 losses, 48 ties, 37 OT losses. never won a division god the NHL is sclerotic

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

MLB beat writer: talk a little about the rally in the 7th, what did you tell your guys with regard to changing their approach at the plate NBA beat writer: in your estimation does the proletariat benefit from a properly educated and organized vanguard party in the nascent stages of revolution

The Steelers will either complete their grandest collapse under Tomlin and miss out altogether or lose by literally 40 at home to Josh Allen in the wild card. Perfect either way

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

Norman Podhoretz used to go into DC bookstores and put his own books on endcap displays. Which is a total dick move (and probably counterproductive) but at least he was funny and owned up to it when I caught him at it

the falsest binary

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal. Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

@bryanrwalsh.bsky.social What were, assuming you had any, *your* good ideas?

And to all a good night
