I don’t really care about Bob Crachit, what I want to know is how Hershel of Ostropol knew how to defeat the Hanukkah Goblins?

How does Disney fit in here

Man Bob Iger is really fucking dumb.

When my dog whines at me it means he could need a walk, however if my wife is cooking it could also mean he’s enforcing our houses kitchen gender norms which means I am not doing my job as I do most of the cooking!

One year ago tomorrow Larry Hogan went into his backyard on a frigid night where he spent 45 minutes out in the cold filming stars in the constellation Orion located 800+ light years from Earth, then angrily demanded the government take action against them

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place. Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

Amanda Seyfried tells WhoWhatWear she won’t apologize for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful”: “I mean, for f**k’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes.“

Guilty pleas, $100K fine for Skyline Tower Painting for a 2022 tower-washing project that showered TV Hill with hazardous lead paint. www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

"Jews call themselves 'Chosen' because they think they're better than everyone else!" *forcibly strips religion and culture from entire populations*

"Judaism is too beholden to arbitrary rules!" *eradicates everyone who has a doctrinal disagreement over the physical substance of their central figure* "Good thing we're free from such things!" *multiple continent-wide conflicts over scriptural interpretation*

There is no grand lesson to be learned from how people survived the Holocaust beyond “don’t die I guess!”

Breaking bad was about a guy who had many opportunities for his healthcare to be paid for (his former business partners, jrs accidental money laundering go fund me), but he preferred selling meth because ruining other people's lives feels more manly than accepting gifts.

Love this time of year when brands/localities/local businesses/sports teams/politicians give generic Hanukkah greetings and people respond with: -What about Christians? -What about Palestine? -Why Jews/Judaism? -something obscenely antisemitic

A bunch of notable Baltimoreans passed this year and they aren’t on this list???

Please give if you can, and share widely whether you can give or you can't. RCCS focuses its outreach in the Jewish community, but they help patients of every background with things from helping pick the right doctor to covering costs to arranging needed transportation. They're truly lifesaving.

A) Jesus would have viewed Saturday as Shabbat. B) Jesus would have followed the rule of Pikuach nefesh “saving a soul (life),” which would have permitted work on Shabbat

Psstt Best Buy price matches Amazon official listings and don't have to deal with fraud or fake stuff

every single day i see more groyper policywank the stronger my conviction gets that x needs to be made into the equivalent of a seedy porno theater in a “i am a mugger target” neighborhood

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Jake Tapper doing an amazing job providing proof that his biden complaints were fueled by anger at being called out about being vulture in regards to Beaus death.

RSF massacres left Sudanese city ‘a slaughterhouse’, satellite images show

A huge problem with the way Waymo is covered is that the press rarely covers a driver striking a pedestrian and when it is its “a vehicle struck a pedestrian.”

Hilarious he doesn’t have Ex Machina up there!

Animal control discovers drunk raccoon passed out in liquor store bathroom

Zillow has removed climate risk scores from over a million real estate listings after realtors complained that information such as how at risk a home is from wildfires was causing them to lose sales. Zillow now provides a link to get the information instead of listing it directly.

If you're looking for a sincere, nicely written and improv'd holiday movie, The Baltimorons is a great, sweet and surprisingly deep movie. A nice antidote to the hyper-commercial holiday film.

It’s on: Challengers announce in Howard County, Baltimore’s 7th District races, more moves in political notes marylandmatters.org/2025/10/15/i...

Most of these people were jerks to the Judeans/Jews

I’ll go even further: a lot of the white privilege that Ashkenazi Jews enjoy today is built on unstable socio-political terrain. The Third Reich built an entire legal system founded on the notion that we were Not White less than a century ago.

Good review/critique by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social. Having observed Olivia’s arc since beginning & w a few interactions, her claim never to have been particularly in politics (as MG reports) strikes me as entirely plausible. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

Investing in real estate located in marginalized neighborhoods through dodgy intermediaries is probably still a better investment than the Argentine Peso.

Sweatah Weathah!

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

It’s a Christmas fucking miracle!

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign

just a reminder that *lots* of countries have universities, and (to my knowledge) none of them but the U.S. treat their universities as largely minor league sports franchises

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?

Going to a school without Greek life was great!

The idea that Lamb Chop celebrates Christmas is farkakte

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology. Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

AI technologies would be meaningfully less controversial if this was the stuff they led with rather than the Plagiarism Machine, the Truth Destabilization Nexus, and the Revenge Porn Generator.

Your periodic Baltimore homicides update: Baltimore continues to be on track for 150 homicides this year. If you look at the graph you can see how amazing this is, although, of course, that's still 150 too many.

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...
