These losers should just call Zohran the f word and get it over with

We had a cascade of mishaps last night which we traced to my first grader talking before someone says his name after being jinxed. We learned from Bluey there would be Big Consequences, but did not listen. I needed this this morning.

Inside the federal government as Trump and DOGE pushed it past its breaking point in 2025, as told by some of the more than 1,200 federal workers @hannahnatanson.bsky.social and @merylkornfield.bsky.social have spoken to this year

I would assume it's something like Levis jeans that haven't been made in America since 1980

I did not think I could love Mandy Patinkin any more than I already did

We won’t have Elise Stefanik to kick around anymore.

It was my mother's friends doing the booing and I will always be grateful.

Strange.

It would be neat if she spent her last time in office trying to recover some of the federal money that was arbitrarily cut from her district

"A..element of MAGA fascism is cruelty for its own sake; Republicans are coming after trans people because they are a small and largely powerless minority, and any “moderate” who collaborates in efforts to deny them equal rights is a fool, a bigot, a liar, or all three." prospect.org/2025/12/19/t...

I wonder if the janitor at Brown University who pretty much single-handedly solved this case earns a living wage.🤔 I wonder if his children qualify to receive a tuition waiver to attend Brown as a function of his employment. He deserves more than 50K. They wouldn’t have solved this case w/o him.

yes! i am a bit of a broken record on this but among elite male commentators there is such obvious gender anxiety

The photographer on that boat was Christopher Anderson, who, 25 years later, snapped the famous photos of the Trump administration for Vanity Fair.

I worked at the US national theater organization and Wallace Shawn, who plays Vizzini, is a respected playwright who spoke at our national conference, and the entire staff was taken aside and told we were not allowed to make insufferable Princess Bride references around him. Which we would have done

We're watching Princess Bride as our Rob Reiner tribute, and I never realized how is the source of every other word we say.

This is the most technologist thing that has every happened.

It's the most! Wonderful time! Of the year!

Spaceballs 2 on its way!

I swear to fucking god mozilla, *everyone hates this idea*. Do NOT succumb to The Fear & the Monetization Disease. You don't need to have a "modern AI browser", at all, ever. You need to be th comany that respects user privacy, meaningful consent, & choice; the one w/ The Browser That Fucking Works

Ending 2025 with the grounded sense of hope I picked up in Chicago, as told here:

Listening to The Daily about the Palantir founder, who's increasingly aligning himself with the Trump administration despite being a scholar of fascism, and the thought I keep having is "One person shouldn't have this much power."

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

RETVRN

Wow, Reddit's just totally unstyled right now

Terrific story about Rob Reiner being as much of a mensch in real life as he seemed.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

New York achievement unlocked: I was sauteeing garlic and tomato paste in a pan when I noticed something in the pan was moving. A roach had FALLEN INTO THE PAN and got cooked to death. I may never find food appealing again.

God damn. What incredible guts this guy has. I once took a bat away from a guy who was beating someone with it, and I can't imagine that I would have done this. Not from that distance, not having to slip through the cars. Just a ridiculous act of heroism.

Something I struggled to get my bosses to understand as a web developer for nonprofits - when people are using your web page, that page IS the organization, for all intents and purposes.

As a person, I'm so angry this happened. As a person who makes software, I'm incredulous that this happened.

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting If you can give, please do If you can’t, please spread the word Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save

What stage of capitalism is it that I'm lusting over T shirts of companies that have gone out of business? localvyntage.com/collections/... RIP, Service Merchandise.

My plan to not eat all the Tollhouse chocolate chips in the fridge was thwarted by me.

It's just as the ancient expression said: Make sure you are sending test traffic to the version of your app that actually works, you dumbass.

BREAKING: House Oversight Democrats just release a small batch of 95,000 photos received from the Epstein estate. Images include: Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates. Redactions have been made by the Committee.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

Fuck Benedict Arnold. He should have tried doing less treason.

People on my hometown Facebook page are commenting about how they should make a mural of Benedict Arnold for his contributions to America (?) and I was about to wade in before wisely decided "That's enough Internet"

Ok, you know what, a Broadway musical about real estate plunderers who caused the 2008 recession mashed up with Marie Antoinette with nods to the opioid crisis and influencer is in fact what we need and deserve right now.

I make web sites for a living and these idiots probably disabled the button in a stupid way you could undo. Is there someone in state government with developer tools who could undo a pointer-events:none?

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

PROFOUND.

If your origins are Southern Italian, Irish, Polish etc. some version of this claim - the immigrant is a criminal underclass incompatible with the true Americans - has been around forever. They hate that the idea of America is more important than any group.
