all i'm saying is that there were better options

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

The internet is fast becoming so choked with this, it'll be unusable. We'll all be boats chugging blindly through the gloom and the muck, finding nothing, barely each other, uncertain what's true or even real anymore.

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

The next time a small-d democratic party controls Congress, impeaching and removing Emil Bove for high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution needs to be on the "to-do" list.

now we have dr drew pitching a cold & flu kit on ESPN 2 that includes ivermectin FFS

This was the official objection, from Maxwell Rice, a former Republican candidate for #IL09, who filed objections to several candidates this cycle The hearing was this morning at 9 a.m.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

On this National Christmas Card Day we are pleased to share, from the Library's special collections, a copy of the first commercial Christmas card. It's from 1843, the same year “A Christmas Carol" was published. Both helped establish the Victorian concept of Christmas. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2019/12/...

Great discussion yesterday at MadSoul Fest featuring @ayannapressley.bsky.social @annaforflorida.bsky.social @delia.bsky.social @maxwellfrost.bsky.social! Mohammed Ibrahim’s uncle also shared thoughts on the (only) 27 members of Congress who signed a letter demanding release from Israeli detention.

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia. They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana. Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her. What a racist piece of shit.

If Pete Hegseth was drunk when he ordered the second strike on the Venezuelan sailors, then he cannot be held accountable for their deaths.

presented without comment

Lol, ya the tide is turning

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

Republicans plan to challenge stop sign and building fire alarm mandates, declaring that these issues should be addressed by the free market

Trump desperate to become a petro-dictator like his buds MBS and Putin.

The US government under Trump is an epic money laundering scheme. They’re robbing the taxpayers blind for crap nobody asked for!

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Sam Altman met his husband in Peter Thiel’s hot tub at 3 AM.

Some incredible details in this piece *one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm *illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

Reminder: SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."
