This week’s @fullofsith.bsky.social features my beloved @halfmoth.bsky.social ! We chat about the resolution we think Star Wars characters might make … or probably should make. fullofsith.libsyn.com/fos/episode-...

Visit From JD Vance Last Thing Utah Needs Right Now https://theonion.com/visit-from-jd-vance-last-thing-utah-needs-right-now/

I'm roughly six billion years older than Chappell and was well aware of her film career but, like her, did not realize the hard right turn Bardot took in her final years. It's nice to see a person openly acknowledge not knowing something and changing their mind on the internet. Far too rare.

Gavin Newsom, "All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-black.. It's a purge, happening in real time, we're not doing enough, calling it out"

If a convention hosts an "A.i." "artist," I will probably not attend.

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels. Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

...you know what, that works

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller has spent years weaponizing hatred to become the mastermind of Trump’s crackdown on marginalized groups. Zeteo traces his most hateful, strange, and downright cringey moments along the way.

CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded the transcript and read the transcript verbatim. Here it is. Please watch & share to fight fascism & censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uRf...

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

This looks like somebody saw a Tesla Incel Camino and thought "do less."

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

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

Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Utah, in case you were roped into signing the Prop 4 petition, now realize what you’ve signed & want to remove your signature from the petition, go to this website. I mention this because I know of someone who signed the petition thinking they were protecting prop 4. protectutahvoters.com

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

You can do your part. If you witness ICE vehicles switching, altering, or improperly using license plates, report it to the Illinois Secretary of State’s Plate Watch Hotline, where violations are investigated:

UPDATE The Reiner family has released a statement: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

If you want to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner tonight and you haven't seen it, the documentary about his best friend, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE, is as much about Brooks as it is Reiner's love for his lifelong best friend. As fall down hilarious as it is sweet & touching. It's a must see.

i mean this with my whole entire heart: fuck off to hell 2025

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

oh my fucking god she writes like Olivia. Are these people all in the same book club or something

Kill Bill, probably dozens of times. And seeing The Whole Bloody Affair was still a revelation. It’s rare that I’ll ever say this about a four-hour film but there’s not a wasted frame. Even the cues that were moved feel just as right in their new homes even though they should feel out of place.

"Part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, a newly restored version of the classic Star Wars (1977) theatrical release — later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope — will play in theaters for a limited time." www.starwars.com/news/star-wa... I AM SAT

“Once sprayed into the nostril, noroxone works quickly to free up opioid receptors in the brain, allowing compounds like heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine to reattach and fatally interrupt respiration.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

They might need to change the name of the magazine to Vaziri Fair after the way they're catering to your interests, @tvaziri.com. First we get your excellent video on effects from a month ago, and now the Duffers take up your other cause at 11:12 in this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdZW...

MIT researchers say AI could already replace 11.7% of the US labour market — about $1.2 trillion in wages. The case for UBI is only getting louder.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2025/11/2...

Tom Stoppard, award-winning writer, died at the age of 88. Mick Jagger remembered his ‘favourite playwright’ in a touching tribute.

Some people use roasting pans for the turkey.

Post a picture that you can hear immediately.

"And what's up with people cleaning their ear trumpets in public? That's something we have a street urchin handle for a farthing out by the docks, just as our fathers did."

I did not anticipate @defunctland.bsky.social dropping a four-hour video about the Living Character Initiative but the rest of my weekend is now spoken for.

Someday my daughters will ask me what it was like living in Utah County and I will stand up from my recliner, without a word, pull a disc off the shelf, and hit play on episode 1 of Pluribus.

so i guess the preview dropped WHICH MEANS I CAN TELL YOU I AM WRITING THE BROTHERS WINCHESTER!!!!!!!! YOUR GIRL IS WRITING SUPERNATURAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my beloved 😭❤️ humongous shout out for @gregpak.net for recommending me for this gig!!! leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/121324...

BREAKING President Trump has granted a pardon to a slew of Trump world figures, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
