John Hughes films are notoriously critical of service workers, the most Republican feature of his oeuvre.

“you seein this shit”

🧵 Very tired of Scrooges hating on holiday music because they hear Andy Williams and Rockin' Around The Xmas Tree 1000x a year. Starting a thread of unique festive tunes. First up is Just Say Noël, the Xmas equivalent of the classic DGC Rarities, w/ Beck/Elastica/The Roots/Sonic Youth/Aimee Mann/etc

Warm Wishes this Holiday Season ✨❄️ Wishing you and yours a Happy Holidays and a peaceful and hopeful New Year! Thank you for your support as always of my art and for being wonderful art patrons, friends and family. #happyholidays #merryxmas

Listening to Guns N Roses' biggest hits: "Shackler's Revenge", "Madagascar", "Riad N' The Bedouins"... all our favorites.

For-profit entities have proven definitively that they are incapable of fairly reporting the news. The sensationalism they've stirred up over the past 50 years hand in hand with the rise of American Nazism has made the citizenry insane and wrecked this country, probably beyond repair.

Merrick Garland...... you were sitting on this for four years....... wtf man.......

A good way to bring people back to mom and pop stores instead of chains is to not make shopping at them a giant pain in the ass.

Dang, even Lil Marco is riding the rails these days.

2023: Wonka 2024: A Complete Unknown 2025: Marty Supreme Timmy Chalamet is the new King of Christmas.

It goes without saying but there is zero reason to do this other than fucking people over, making their lives harder, and solidifying the wealth of people who have too much. In this and many other ways, the American Nazi Party has declared war on educated people and education itself in this country.

Jesus Christ, the biggest creeps in the world are Avid Fan-ing each other like the Tooth Fairy, Buffalo Bill and Hannibal Lecter.

2025: America watches Canadian bootlegs of journalism about US concentration camps. Nothing is for sale, everything is for rent. Computers will take your job but will be worse than you at it. You make less than ever but can gamble on your credit balance. One racist ket addict gets paid $1 trillion.

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

There has never been a time in my 4 decades on this planet in which I've felt less free to speak my mind, not just in public, but online, privately, even in my own home (our phones are always listening, I often gets ads from Instagram about private conversations I've had in person with others).

I actually don't think we should come together as much as a country. We're *too* nationalized and homogenized; there should be bigger distinctions between states and regions.

Was obvious at the time for anyone paying attention, but the last year has made it abundantly clear that the 2024 election was a referendum in which the American people, unwittingly or not, cosigned on every standard of ethics and decency established over the past century being totally obliterated.

omg just realized that Walton Goggins is the Walmart Grinch.

Dave Chappelle is so unfunny now that he has to do that weird thing where he slams the mic into his thigh to signal that whatever dumb shit he’s talking about is a joke and you’re supposed to be laughing.

Warning: very disturbing read. It’s a story told by a woman who Trump allegedly raped when she was 13. 13!! It’s not new. She first came forward in 2016 when he began running for president. It was mostly ignored. But it seems increasingly plausible now! katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

Wow, just read the Steven Drozd news. Pretty clear at this point that Wayne Coyne believes that jettisoning anyone around him that he's known for too long will prevent him from getting old.

It's weird how Dems who ignore their constituents and have guided the nation to ruin want to end primaries.

i don't want to win a unifying 70-30. i want to win 51-49 based on promises of vengeance.

astute observers have know for years that it isn't the 1950s that MAGA wants; they want the 1850s

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

"Look children, it's a falling star! Make a wish!"

The right gave up talking about or caring about Reagan over a decade ago and at this point the only people who ever bring him up now are liberals. It's a baffling strategy, but at least it's also wholly ineffective.

A good many people need to get sued for libel in the aftermath of the late ridiculousness. You can see one such fellow below.

I think bigotry has become a kind of loyalty ritual among young republicans, it’s how you show you’re one of them www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

This weekend has been our equivalent of the ‘36 Berlin Olympics when the Aryans all got smoked by Jesse Owens.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Completed my Best Shows o' 2025 thread with video from each in case you're into good music 🧵

Zaslav literally merged WB with Discovery, sat at a desk shredding movies for tax writeoffs for 3 years, and then splits it from Discovery. Is that worth a billion dollars?

NEW: New research shows that apolitical social media creators have enormous effects on their audiences’ political beliefs—and that social media users drift rightward left to their own devices, because the networks themselves tilt right. @davidgilbert.bsky.social has more!

NO WAR WITH VENEZUELA

The Overton window has shifted to America’s “liberal party” being the party of Reagan.

Trump is the end of the current path of Republicanism (unapologetic hate, selfishness & corruption) the same way that Hillary/Biden/Kamala is the end of the current path of Democrats (business-friendly Reagan-esque supply side economics, fruitless triangulation, shallow TED Talk/NPR intellectualism)

A reminder that doing nothing in the mental health crisis infecting our nation will continue to solve nothing.

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative. Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

"Take Their Shit" would win in all 50 states.

This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.
