Watching a Pistons game for the first time this season and my in depth analysis is that Jaden Ivy looks just like Dylan Harper?

An A24 movie about this night entirely from the perspective of the person in the Ninja Turtle suit

Vanilla Ice retaining the most embarrassing rapper from the Dallas-Ft. Worth area crown despite the existence of Post Malone is wild. It’s a LeBron like run.

"The president of the United States is a pedophile who can't stop bleeding" sounds like something you'd tell your kid to keep them away if you lived on the border

New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows. A "wartime recruitment" mode with paramilitary branding: wapo.st/44QrP5j

Reading the comments leading up to this, I’m wondering if writing code by hand will someday look as insane as tabulating regression models by hand looked to me as a student

it is distressingly good

3M bow tying machine at D.G. Bremner & Co.

How stochastic terrorism works - Trump leverages the threats he induces against even Marjorie Taylor Greene's family www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/m... One important reason that so many Rs are scared to challenge him.

as is tradition, I post a countdown of my top 100 posts from the year, starting today with No. 100-81. hit the link! www.artbutmakeitsports.com/p/the-best-o...

Christmas in NOLA

Earnest question: has any mass communication technology used for profit escaped this fate? Newspapers, television, radio, all the same story

It gets better: Next year MTA will start selling bonds backed by toll revenue, with plans to issue up to $15 billion in congestion pricing–backed debt Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Congestion pricing for all

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.

“.. After the release of thousands of Epstein files on Friday, The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer .. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

This one feels like it might make the Trump chapter of a history book

Whoa, this cover!

Same for me for Avatar, but also & especially: apparently the entire world loves to watch videos of people holding their phone to their face and talking. They give me the ick

This thread is so unbelievable I had to find the source link to see the article for myself www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

seeing this getting shared a lot. is there anything new here? online companies do not have a duty to secure your data against LE requests. you have to find & reward the ones that will--or, better, who don't collect or retain the data in the first place therecord.media/google-searc...

Space news is the best. Like, what do you mean there's a runaway supermassive black hole 10 million times bigger than the sun moving through space at 2 million miles per hour www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

I wish a single journalist or leader would reach out to me I have the scientific expertise, lived experience of a trans person, and am literally a science communicator for my career I'm willing to explain this even though I know it will decrease my personal safety!! bsky.app/profile/jeym...

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable) call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line trans people deserve so much better

📌, as always when DG digs in

I’m extremely proud to join the board of the non-profit that supports the amazing and venerable @texasobserver.org! Not a subscriber? Change that today: texasobserver.fundjournalism.org/join/

The aftermath of DOGE and Musk illegally dismantling USAID. This is the only thing any of them should be remembered for.

“In one of Roman’s planned sky surveys, the telescope will cover in nine months what would take Hubble between 1,000 and 2,000 years.” 🤯

Been thinking about this since the buzzer. Spurs need to gameplan French Vanilla lineups just to keep certain guys like Robinson and teams like the Rockets off the offensive glass. Kornet should’ve been subbed in for, eg, Barnes just to match up with Robinson, while keeping Wemby roving

The House is looking to vote TOMORROW on 2 bills that would criminalize gender-affirming care for trans youth. Please sign the ACLU's petition opposing these bills. action.aclu.org/send-message...

Made a chart…in case you needed one to show you that the president posts entirely too much. Data scraped from truth social.

Haha Rockets-Nugs is sloppy like the last pickup game of the day, when all the old guys shouldn’t have played because their legs are shot

The bear is now one of the renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web

A truly enjoyable thing about Victor Wembanyama is that he almost never dodges a question with clichéd coachspeak, but is honest enough to admit when he does it. The end of this answer about whether he’s starting tomorrow was too good.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

Kriston’s point dovetails with another thread from tonight bsky.app/profile/chad...

So probable cause is now just...going to an East African restaurant

Wemby called OKC a bunch of floppers 😭 “I’m just glad to be part of something beautiful — pure and ethical basketball.” (via BrickCenter) #NBA

wtf this is insane. Refs would’ve spent half an hour at the monitors in 2025

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this

Wemby +21 in 21 minutes Caruso +22 in 24 minutes Both off the bench in a 2 point game Can’t recall ever seeing anything like that

We have a good thread going on this topic of Willie & LOTR, but nothing will ever beat, for me, a *very* drunk and sincere Bill Pullman seemingly close to tears at an Alamo quote-along for Spaceballs. I really think he didn’t realize how much us nerds loved that movie. Or maybe he was just sauced

Applications are open until December 31, y'all ... 🤠

Everyone should read this incredible first-person piece by Jason Collins (as told to @ramonaespn.bsky.social), on his battle with brain cancer. So much admiration for this man.

I had this job in 2007, can’t recommend it enough. You’ll learn so much and find yourself with opportunities you never expected. In my case, I learned I did not want to cover politics for a living, but I had the opportunity to leave a small imprint on the mag with my camera and this pic of Obama
