"A buildup in pressure across the region is propelling wastewater up ancient wellbores, birthing [toxic saltwater] geysers that can cost millions of dollars to clean up." This in a region where oil and gas companies now take $$$$ in tax credits for squirting CO2 underground for "sequestration."

Trump is extorting the International Criminal Court. “A French ICC judge spelled out the impact of US sanctions: “All my accounts with US companies, Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal & others, have been closed. I booked a hotel in France through Expedia & a few hours later, the reservation was cancelled.”

"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel" "sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

South Park called it, and it’s hilarious. One of the creators purchased the Trump Kennedy Center URL address before the name was even changed because they know Trump’s narcissism is in the driver’s seat.

I suspect Kat is right. Building real world community seems smart to me.

HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about. Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Based on our visual analysis from both shore and space, we estimate that there are around 17.5 million barrels of crude oil floating onboard tankers in Venezuela which are unable to depart due to the ongoing US blockade. That's around $900M of oil. #OOTT #Tankers #Venezuela

vance is a genuine lunatic

“income inequality increased over a 33-year period ending in 2022, with the share of wealth held by families in the top 10 percent at around 69 percent, while the share held by families in the bottom 50 percent at just 3 percent.”

Wow… an actual slow news day. We should do this more often.

All else aside who the fuck wants a marble armrest? (Other than Lincoln, who sits not far from the Kennedy Center.)

Yup. I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡 Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money. Actions: Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly. Words: Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

The Onion, non-stop winning

Nope Nvidia is not buying the startup. It is licensing the tech and hiring the brains while keeping Groq “independent”…classic financial & legal engineering to avoid antitrust and other hyperscaler conflicts and keep EU off their back. 😅

⁉️ Putin claims US interested in joint management of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant without Ukraine

NGL, Pluribus is interesting but kinda boring.

HE DEFENDED BIG BALLS

I need to think more about this. I don’t actually care get all the work done ya want, for yourself, but creating an illusion in a world that is much bigger than the illusion is inherently dangerous.

when I find out I made the Epstein list

Full disclosure, I wanted him to run for 2020. I was thinking about countering a reality star with a reality star, and I didn’t realize he was a hack.

Giga is a term I look forward to being uncool.

Interesting perspective.

Fucking hell.

What a time to be alive.

I’d like to see a reporter run this down.

This doesn’t look legit. Some kinda scam.

Oh man. I’m not qualified to have an opinion on this one.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

Last year, I got deposed by Elon Musk for being too mean to him online. This year, I'm ditching his site entirely. Next year, I'm going to win my campaign and hold him accountable in Congress. If you want to be a part of our movement, chip in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

The idea that AI can “detoxify” people reframes emotional overwhelm as a software problem, and it treats loneliness and strain as things to route into a machine rather than conditions that require support, care, and structural repair. 1/*

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

When your Christmas greeting is actually a confession…

The thing that is especially annoying about this, is that Shane knows better. Rogan is poisoning the well for a lot of comedians that are so much better than him.

NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Look at how other countries do healthcare and try to copy them. Look at India, they offer government subsidized hospitals for all, that way whoever can’t afford to get treatment can go there. Also make it so that doctors aren’t afraid to get sued, so they can do private practice again.

Indiana GOP Senate Leader Chris Garten posted AI pics of himself beating up Santa Claus on Christmas. He then called everyone snowflakes who complained.

Melania isn’t telling him to put the phone down and spend time with the family?! 😜

Merry Christmas y'all ❄️❄️❄️
