In 2026 we're not sharing grifters to dunk on them. We're not spreading hate on the skyline in order to make a point about that hate. We're not quote skeeting small accounts with bad takes. We're just not gonna promote hostile stupid thought to our friends

Eating gumbo, a thing I hope to do much more of in 2026.

The Bluest Eye.

to end off the year, I wrote about a special trip I took across america in february -- having conversations and looking out the window on amtrak's california zephyr. howtobealone.substack.com/p/amtrak-the...

Do you have a song you listen to in the new year? Not big on “setting intention” but for years my New Year’s anthem has been Strictly Game by Harlem Shakes. “Make a little money Take a lotta shit Feel real bad, then get over it This will be a better year” It’s the perfect amount of optimism for me

Now that he’s officially mayor is it improper for me to continue to admire and talk about Zohran’s cheek dimple?

new year, new yearn

Happy New Toothbrush Day, friends.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Happy New Year, I love you (not you, you)

2025 got good once it was only the pacific time zone, too bad you guys are missing it

REMEMBER Feliz Año Nuevo = Happy New Year Feliz Ano Nuevo = Happy New Butthole

does the ball drop in roku city. are there foreworks

What even is Rita Ora

Auntie accomplishment unlocked: just got hit with a 6-7 by a child in the wild and did NOT turn to dust

Is Demi Lovato actually good at singing? I had no idea

‘Tucker Wetmore’? Sorry but that’s a drag queen name.

Revising my enemies list for 2026 1. Amtrak

Ah, yes, exactly how I wanted to bring in 2026: with transit delays. fml

Warriors on a two-game winning streak. Two games technically counts as a streak!

in spite of their best efforts, being a coastal urban elite this year was still a hundred times better than living in the suburbs. scoreboard

Warriors hold on to a lead challenge

Gui shooting 100%.

Collin Sexton is on the Hornets?

#OtD 31 Dec 2004 Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was punched in the face on the street in Rome. The attacker gave a simple reason for his action: "because I hated him" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1036...

This is a great story, and yet another reminder that -- for something that felt like a fun goofy feature when it launched -- as we lose more and more actors, the AV Club's "Random Roles" has turned out to be an amazing oral history project.

Terrible, always a total magnet. His story about getting cast in Goodfellas, basically his first movie, is so charming www.avclub.com/isiah-whitlo...

We won't begin to roll back the tide of fascism until white liberals come to terms with the fact that tens of millions of their fellow citizens actively, knowingly, support racist Gestapo policies. Tens of millions of racists were not deluded or misled. How will you adjust your strategy accordingly?

He parachuted into my mentions talking to me like I’m stupid and don’t know ball and I told him not to do that shit.

2026 has a lot to live up to. Can it continue the ten-year streak of every year being the worst year ever?

I don’t consent to being part of people’s Twitter bad take screenshot fetish.

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

oh no Klay

The defensive tandem of Melton and Richard making plays on defense.

I really like Will Richard.

Pat Spencer time.

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We haven't had an honest accounting or reckoning across any part of the political spectrum - left to right. One of the most disillusioning periods for me seeing people who claim Leftist politics ABSOLUTELY SPRINT to abandon the sick and vulnerable. It has rearranged a lot for me.

Not just the rich and that's also something to sit with.

omg, I just realized it’s almost New Toothbrush Day again, the first of 2026! Are we ready? We got three days. Get a new brush, refresh that mouthwash, pick up some floss. Let’s get ready.

That was a great ending.

Joke’s on the Warriors because I’m still on vacation so them losing games can’t hurt me

Another Steph scoring masterclass wasted.

no it's gonna cost us all

Was a nice win streak while it lasted.

Free basketball?

Treymond back.

the Bills guy in the booth just said the same exact thing on the replay, lmao
