So all the Irish, Germans and Italians are self deporting and handing property to the indigenous?

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

The government doesn’t let this version of White Christmas get a lot of commercial play in retail because it’s simply too good and people would get down too hard in public

Today’s chalking. R.I.P. 60 MINUTES. 1968-2025 @60minutes.bsky.social

Engles saw workers in 19th century Manchester paying 25 percent of their income towards rent and was so aghast he invented communism. 25 percent of income going towards rent doesn’t even qualify as being rent-burdened in America today.

staffer: you talked to the little girls? trump: sure did, real fuckin creepy just like you asked staffer: what

… were they still in the Mar A Lago bathroom?

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

WHO GIVES A DAMN? It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts. Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

What strikes me about these Epstein materials - there are really no surprises. The 1000+ victims have already named all these men. Even Bill Gates. His wife publicly said she divorced him because of his relationship with Epstein. We just don't believe women, systemically.

"Break things means break people." Behind every LLM, LLM "assisted", "we use genAI BUT it's human checked, no one is losing jobs!" is exploitation, deskilling, wages whose only way is down, the virulent return of crunch and decimation of job satisfaction while being gaslit by your peers and bosses.

They found a new way to do Blackness without Black people To use Black labor without compensating Black people

Across the country, women are dying of sepsis, losing organs, being arrested for miscarriages, and used as brain-dead incubators. Corpses have more rights than women living under abortion bans. What better moment to run a full court cultural press about how freedom isn’t that great anyway?

you ever read a book so bad you wanna go back to mesopotamia and uninvent writing

For that special someone this Christmas: the Todd Field Gift Set

Here's a 1941 letter that a "heritage American" named Grace Wick wrote to FDR complaining about the "alien, Jewish refugees" flooding into the country and replacing "native stock" Americans like her. She says FDR is inviting a Hitler to emerge in America to deal with this problem!

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

why did they redact this

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Mountain lions have been observed east of the Mississippi River for the first time in forever: A mother and two thriving juveniles.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

Can they both lose?

“Just when you thought you heard it all, AI systems designed to spot cancer have startled researchers with a baked-in penchant for racism.”

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

Bannon’s like, “What can I say to make people forget that I knowingly coached a sexual predator to help him repair his image?”

Same. Same with every FBI or DOJ person who looked at the files, saw the people that are in power doing unspeakable things, facing no consequences, and hit a 'redact' button.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

my “yes, even the empty margins of our files are redacted” t-shirt answers a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt

Still laughing about the fact that dude slapped his name on a memorial building, like he absolutely cannot wait for his own death

* Number of additional unemployed Americans since January: 982,000. * Number of federal government job losses: 271,000. 🤡

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
