It’s really heartbreaking but important to read this interview that breaks down how the NYT’s intentionally transphobic agenda came to be & who was behind it. Just when I thought I couldn’t be madder.

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

Finally, a litter box that I can fit a small woman inside of.

Featuring a trans woman so prominently at his inauguration like this was an absolutely baller move by Zohran

Newspapers are like “unsettled New Yorker’s hold their breath as the Mamdani administration takes the reins from the insane man who does crimes”

Re-upping this @coyotemedia.org article from November for my fellow Californians for reasons that speak for themselves.

I would like to direct all speeders to this chart

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

It’s time.

I can go to bed now because it's probably midnight somewhere.

one last time, for the road

This is the only NYE thread I really needed

worried about breaking your new year's resolutions? here's a cheat code. make one of them "break new year's resolutions". can't lose.

i can’t believe it has been 2016 for ten years

I've never seen Stranger Things and I'm just going to go on assuming it's a reboot of Perfect Strangers

we wouldn't need a new year if they didn't keep making them shittier and shittier all the time

trans people, Somalis, Haitians…

Don't know what to make for Christmas dinner? Why not make Vincent Price's Supper Casserole? dinosaurdracula.com/blog/vincent...

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

Standing in the kitchen, eating all of the Chex mix I just made.

Well this seems bad.

Public services cannot ‘lose’ money they can only ‘use’ money. Yes there are areas where they can ‘use’ money more efficiently, but their purpose is to ‘use’ money to provide us services. Money that we, the taxpayers have allocated as a necessary cost for the greater good. It is called Socialism.

Reagan's project was successful: now, many Americans have no idea what a "public good" is. Their only framework for social interaction--outside friends & family--is set by the concepts of private property & consumer choice. That explains a lot about voting patterns & the dying sense of civic duty.

2025: America watches Canadian bootlegs of journalism about US concentration camps. Nothing is for sale, everything is for rent. Computers will take your job but will be worse than you at it. You make less than ever but can gamble on your credit balance. One racist ket addict gets paid $1 trillion.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

The most defining trait of MAGA is burning down everything in service of aggrievement for imagined wrongs.

Reminder for PDX locals looking for physical books in time for Christmas: I know for a fact that both Powell's and Always Here have "Magica Riot" and "Magica Riot: Full Bloom" for you!

In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

This Fred Meyer is in the pocket of Big Utz

it's fucking ridiculous to me that people are using genAI for "ideas". like??? I have SO MANY fucking ideas and even if I had UBI and didn't have to work 40 fucking hours a week, I'd still never have enough time to see them all to fruition.

The two things I want to bring back from the good ol' days: trains and taxing the ever-living fuck out of the rich.

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

The #1 movie when you were ten years old is how your 2026 is going to go. ... could be worse?
