Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Happy winter solstice! Everything gets better from here! 🙂 🙌

Absolutely AWESOME weighted vest Stairmaster hour to celebrate the days starting to get longer. 😅🙌💪

“‘My most daring idea is to refuse,’ she said to applause.”

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

“Why doesn’t Facebook have customer service?!” Bless your heart. Facebook does have customer service. For their CUSTOMERS. Whirlpool sells refrigerators, Tyson sells chicken, Facebook sells you.

I will never stop being absolutely disgusted at the lengths to which society will try and shield white men from the consequences of their horrible, criminal actions. Rape in particular! It's fucking revolting.

Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women. Believe women.

@macrumors.bsky.social Pretty frustrating that you are banning people for saying anything "political" about the TikTok ownership change. The only reason the ownership changed *was* fully political.

Our rights are slipping away. Young women nowadays have less rights than my mother did in the 70’s. This wasn’t as long ago as you might think. Women couldn’t even have credit in their own name until 1975. Equal rights for all hurt no one. #Pinks ##ProudBlue #ERA #BostonMarathon

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

SEAHAWKS!!

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country. 54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year. 25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it. The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

I think about the Kamala loss every day. I don’t know if I’ve held onto a resentment and attendant grief about an election like this ever before. Even after Gore.

An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living. The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options. humantransit.org/2025/12/many...

thinking of the introverted woman who said she's never felt FOMO. she's only felt ROMO (Relief Of Missing Out)

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

At bedtime tonight, my 11-year-old told me, "I love being me." And that's gotta be one of the best things I've ever heard as a mom.

The problem, as always, is the guns.

When we say “billionaires should not exist,” what we mean is: Instead of billionaires… Everyone should have healthcare. Everyone should have housing. Everyone should have access to healthy food and clean water. Billionaires are a policy failure.

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women. Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill. It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

Oh my goodness is this collaboration fantastic. Angel is one of my favorite songs ever and when they are both singing on it ... wow .. just wow. youtu.be/GOjbj1q5ia0?...

i stand by this statement every year

This deep cut mashup is so good. This channel is well worth a sub. It's always outstanding stuff, especially to throw on in the evening when chilling out a bit. youtu.be/zr-Hu3yS9fI?...

Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :) The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used > neal.fun/size-of-life/

Not sure Bluesky will really ever take off for photo sharing if folks are just going to get inundated with awful porn and "18+" accounts when you simply post a picture. @support.bsky.team

"Buck from 1999" is absolutely in love with this. youtu.be/CzKaczXb-T0?...

I am absolutely loving ❤️ all these great conversations with Lucy Hale lately about her sobriety. 🙌 👏 youtu.be/ofHp-KsIH-4?...

Was great fun to get a weight vest on for the stair machine! Drawing some Winter inspiration from some friends who love rucking. 🙌✌️

"The party is the state" coming from the people who somehow think they're anti-communists.

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Sign #2,459 that quitting drinking was the best thing I’ve ever done…. Getting a literal high five from someone who knew me back when and I hadn’t seen in 3 years. 🙌💪

@acollierastro.bsky.social Your "live long and prosper" video was laugh. out. loud. hilarious and just SO great. Without planning on it, I watched all of it late last night. Your sense of humor is SO perfect for this and I love that you go right after the weirdo billionaires. 😂 ✌️

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B. I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

This video is really rather excellent. I wasn’t expecting it to be so great. youtu.be/W8Z3MfNpJpE?...

For anyone else living the glorious sober life, this is a wonderful YouTube channel full of interviews with an impressive roster of famous folks. I really loved the interview with Tim Daly. 🙌 ✌️ www.youtube.com/@sobernesspo...

I refused to use "AI" to grade and I ended up spending more time marking submissions than the students did creating them If students use ChatGPT to do their work, and faculty use it to grade and give feedback, then what is even the point? Why are any of us even there? I hate this timeline

Now his new big business genius idea is Sunglasses For Sex Offenders

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

They need to release this video to the public
