RIP Jesse Jackson. no mere post could suffice, so I will instead ask everyone to reread this, one of my favorite @jamellebouie.net joints: www.slate.com/articles/new...

I know a lot of people still like to draw a bright line between movies and television, but you simply cannot fully measure Duvall's greatness without taking in all eight hours of his work as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Treat yourselves if you can.

RIP to an absolute legend. “It ain't dying I'm talking about, it's living. I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” - Gus McCrae, Lonesome Dove, played by the great Robert Duvall. ❤️

republicans mad at hot latinas dancing on the TV can you fuckin' imagine

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

never in my life have I heard a narrative about a team so desperately wanting to hold on to a coordinator during a coaching search like the noise about the Browns and Jim Schwartz right now. it's bordering on parody

One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE. Echoing the pope’s moral warnings, Tobin says the “lawless organization” is perpetuating a “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

🚨 JUST OUT from @schumer.senate.gov ▶️ "“Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." Now we are going to need him and every one from Sen. Dem to hold the line.

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland. If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

im starting to think this country has bigger issues than pronouns in bio and corporate diversity training videos

good morning mr president, heres your daily list of things you could do today to make everyones life worse

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

I'm much more intrigued by the Udinski/McDaniel/Scheelhaase group than I am the Schwartz/Monken/Minter group for the Browns

both of those PI calls are ones you might get away with but you're not allowed to complain about getting called for

Running the All-PI offense is some smart scumbag shit, Sean Payton

I just...don't have a ton of interest in Jim Schwartz as a head coach. been around forever, doesn't really ever adjust what he's doing on defense (he's gonna play man and he's not gonna blitz). org needs a full cleansing imo

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

Nikki is such a good awards show host!!!!

"CBS News, the place to see BS news" <- brilliant line from nikki glaser's monologue

LeQuint Allen Jr is one of those guys where once you notice him all you do is notice him. He’s like a great character actor

Here's the issue at the top for Kris Horn's team. You can see where Hunter Powell slips, then overcompensates trying to pull himself in. He bumps Ryan Rager and they both fall out. I'm not 100% sure what happened to Caleb Furnell back there. That said, incredible job by Horn to get that sled down

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it. It's not the press's job to keep the government's secrets.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Firing Keven Stefanski but keeping Andrew Berry infers the Browns have been bad because the players have been there but the coaching has been bad and whew,it's hard to come to that conclusion watching the Browns ever.

BREAKING: Myles Garrett is the NFL’s new single-season sack king. The Browns star stands alone after his 23rd sack of the year — taking down Joe Burrow to secure the record.

It remains irrational to me for the Browns to fire Kevin Stefanski but bring back Andrew Berry - on the basis of one good draft full of non-premium position players - when the Browns’ QB, WR, and OL rooms are all bottom tier in the league. The offensive failures are as much on personnel as coaching.

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

the problem: immigration. the solution: political destabilization in latin america.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Aaron Rodgers is so afraid to give up the sack record to Myles Garrett that the Steelers are going to give up a chance to clinch the division today.

steelers have fully decided that avoiding the sack record is more important than punching a ticket to the postseason

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.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

A reminder as it’s that time of year, the cowards at Disney hide the version of Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Cane’s duet in it down in the extras menu

Orioles' first basemen hit the fewest home runs (14) of any team last season and boasted the seventh-worst OPS (.679). Pete Alonso has bopped at least 34 home runs in every full MLB season and owns a career .857 OPS. That is a huge addition at a position of need for the Orioles.

In remarks already sparking MAGA backlash, Pope Leo XIV called anti-Muslim panic a political weapon against immigration — and a betrayal of the Gospel. His message directly challenges Elon Musk and MAGA leaders who frame Christian empathy as weakness.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

the stadium DJ hitting Knuck if You Buck mid-fight is incredible work. you spend all season working to be prepared for that moment

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
