‘Tis the season of health insurance enrollment, Whamming, the Folgers incest ad, and Schnittke’s “Stille Nacht”.

Morning to all y’all who see the total scam that is Trump’s regime. Can anyone explain blowing up boats vs pardoning the Cocaine Kingpin? WTAF is going on? Hint: it’s not about drugs. #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory #Pinks #wtpBLUE

Self-described anti-Zionists do not argue in good faith. Their position is unequivocally one of destruction of half (Israel) to 90+% (Zionists) of all the world’s Jews.

I was humming Butterworth’s “The Lads in their Hundreds”, which got me thinking about Houseman, which got me thinking about “The Invention of Love”, which got me thinking about Stoppard. Now I am sad.

The dipshit Kremlinologists will insist that Dugin is a fringe figure in Russian court politics yet nearly every strategy outlined in Foundations of Geopolitics, a book taught in Russian staff college, has been pursued to at least some degree of success

This is your brain on a paranoid conspiracy kick. This is also the Guardian’s U.S. finance and economics editor who doesn’t know Norway is not in the EU. In this house, the Guardian has little credibility.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

One thing I have to point out because a lot of people don't realize it is "the Syria test" was never a tankie/campist ID test, it was an "are you gargling Russian propaganda?" test, it just picks up tankies and campists because of course it does

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

Does it get more American than this?

And guess where all the donations to those supposedly desperate Gazan GoFundMes are going. Especially since GoFundMe does not operate in Gaza.

This is my kind of porno.

This was my association with the Dublin decision to remove Chaim Herzog’s name from the Rathgar park, to be renamed “Free Palestine Park” in a heavily Jewish neighborhood. Erasing Jews from streets and war memorials was one of the Nazis’ first acts in order to reframe the conversation about Jews.

Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

The Pope has a word with the man in 27E who is listening to an action movie on his iPad's speakers.

Sen. Roger Wicker, the Republican chairman of Armed Services, promises “rigorous oversight” after The Post reported Hegseth’s order to kill all 11 people in the first U.S. boat strike. A former JAG who advised Special Ops called the scenario “murder” and “a war crime” wapo.st/48k7g1S

Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates. Thread [1/9]

Vladimir Putin calls the leaked Bloomberg tape of Steve Witkoff and Yuri Ushakov conspiring to manipulate Trump "criminal espionage." He didn't want anyone to know that he was doing this - and he's visibly angry about it.

"From the moment he was elected to his second term (now more than a year ago) Europeans needed to understand that they were on their own. They needed to prepare to support Ukraine on their own, to stop deferring to the USA, to prepare the continent greater for strategic autonomy and self-defense."

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set
