Ruin two bands by combining them AC/DC Talk

I could watch this for hours

One might say they filled their karmic diapers with a giant load of hubris

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Also two creation stories and sets of "Ten Commandments"

#GVerse Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social shouts at a guy in a Darth Vader costume in Hollywood “Dad I told you don’t follow me to work!”

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

Fair use.

Asking this seriously: has Bari Weiss ever in her career reported out an investigative story?

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

88 minutes

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

POV: you just got the best call back of your life

Wednesday: "here's your $1,776 Christmas bonus, enjoy!" Thursday: "so, by the way, your paycheck this month is gonna be $1,776 short"

There's a guy on Twitter who posted about Rob Reiner's perfect run of films and included North. Every time someone calls out North, he says "Not the time, 2 people are dead." It's making me laugh until I cry, and I'm confident Rob Reiner would have found it hilarious.

Great thread about the kind of guy Reiner was

D minor, which is the saddest of all the keys, I find

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Speaking ill of Rob Reiner, now that should cost you your job

BREAKING: Two terrorists opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, killing at least 11 people and wounding 29 others. This video shows the moment 43-year-old Ahmad El Ahmad, an unarmed civilian, tackled one of the terrorists, seized his weapon, and neutralized him.

One of the better videos like this I have seen. It's hard to be any more conservative-coded than these two are. This level of fury makes me hopeful that those temporarily in charge are going to get the punishment they deserve

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Not sure either of these fit the category perfectly, but I'll take Colin Farrell in "Banshees of Inisherin"

No worries, I just signed a SUPER DUPER executive order that says Trump's executive order doesn't count. Both these documents have the exact same amount of force under American law

Evidently no one in the C-suite at Disney has ever spent a single day on the internet

Oceans are now battlefields (derogatory)

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

Who has made this 🤣

My friends and sometimes bandmates just released this incredible version of O Holy Night. I didn't play on this record but I do get to perform it with them next weekend and I'm ridiculously excited about it youtu.be/K6DYuKxKZLY?...

Gonna need some "Thank You For Not Trying To Fuck The Candidates" signage first

Just published my 20-Game Lakers Check...my deepest mix of charts, context, and data storytelling this season. I made it free (no paywall) so more people can discover the work. If you enjoy these deep dives, a repost is the best “thank you.” 🙏 digginbasketball.substack.com/p/lakers-20-...

The framing devices, early and late, add quite a lot and are almost never discussed in conversations about the "message"

Wow, this episode sounds awful

If the partisan environment is the same or worse for Rs in 2026 as it is now, there are gonna be a whole lot of dummymanders around the country

One of my favorite media subgenres is "something extremely simple and trivial that reveals itself to be not at all simple or trivial"

when you’re trying to evade capture after WWII ends:

@profanity.accountant give it to me!

This is also where I need to mention that when my son was like 4, he misheard and called them "night mirrors," which is (a) metal as fuck and (b) the only thing our family ever calls them now

Oh man, I would feel so ashamed if I were an alum. I'd be driving to my office on the weekend to pull the degree off the wall

Commit this to memory: those who place themselves above the law's reach are beyond the law's protection

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This is an important point. If you are a bigshot political reporter and you know your messy-ass girlfriend is covering for RFK but keep it to yourself, congrats, now you are covering for him too
