See? Even Bill Clinton doesn’t care if Bill Clinton goes to jail!

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Congratulations again to every major media editor who tried to sell Peter Thiel’s fake Appalachian messenger boy as a Reasonable Empathetic Conservative www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/jd-v...

Tell me you don't see it

why not put count von count into various vampire scenes: thread

Jim Beam is closing a major distillery for 2026. It makes Jim Beam as well as Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, and others. There's a bourbon glut in the US thanks to the Canadian boycott. Brown-Forman, makers of Jack Daniels, is having layoffs and has closed a cooperage. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

Shouldn't this read "In a Christmas miracle, King County toilets are blessed with beautiful rats" @orodentia.bsky.social

So you’re telling me that one of the top nuclear fusion scientists is assassinated and then Trump partners with a nuclear fusion company for SIX BILLION DOLLARS??

Dr Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Grinch

This illegal proposal is designed to eliminate health care for trans youth by threatening to destroy hospitals that provide that care — care that’s validated by physicians & provided with parent support. They want to erase trans people from existence. That’s always been the plan. We won’t let them.

Seriously if you're queer and interested in witchy things or historical queerness you owe it to yourself to get the book for this price. I'll be adding a digital copy ontop of my physical signed copy to my kobo momentarily.

2013 was the first time in 30 years the Maine shrimp season was canceled. It never reopened (if you had Maine shrimp in the intervening years, it was from the small "test catch" done to see if they could reopen. This year's catch was < 7 pounds). This is just so sad. We did this.

Remember this if nothing else: Every shouted lie in Trump’s outburst tonight was an effort to cover up a Trump failure or crime. Every single one.

It scarcely seems possible that we lost David Lynch and Rob Reiner in the same year. 2025, the gift that keeps on taking.

Trump Derangement Syndrome, all right.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

Calling yourself bi or pansexual isn't validated by how many dicks you've sucked or pussies you've eaten or any other combination of orifices you've mashed together. It's about about... ATTRACTION. But what does that even mean??? By @erikamoen.bsky.social & Matt Nolan www.ohjoysextoy.com/attraction

feels like a pretty obvious layup for Democrats to say, "this is an egregiously disgusting statement, even for him, and it underlines that the President is undergoing significant physical and mental deterioration, and either he is lying about it or is not aware of it."

Not even remotely joking, I would watch a full documentary about the impact It had on the clown industry

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

A wrenching loss- Rob Reiner, rest in peace. ktla.com/news/local-n...

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

for dick van dyke's 100th birthday, let's agree that that is actually how english chimney sweeps sound like, he nailed it, if you're an english chimney sweep and don't sound like that, you're doing it wrong

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

(The scene: a designer for Hypersquare sits at his kitchen, cup of coffee in trembling hand, red eyes glancing over a huge pile of steering wheel designs. Suddenly, his eye falls on a cupcake tin; the two cupcakes at each end have been eaten.) HYPERSQUARE DESIGNER: "Eureka!"

Sharing this because it's funny.

Happy 100th birthday Dick Van Dyke!

If you're sitting there like "Well ACTUALLY I think of myself as approximately 39% architect and 22% gardener, with a dash of -- " please rest assured that your editor is more like "Book? Where is book please. Can I have book? Book now??"

My man dropped the word "acerbic" when talking about how the ICE agents mocked his personalized license plate about his grandchildren. Although I am not a native Minnesotan, I've lived here long enough to know that this man may be the angriest Minnesotan in recorded history.

"In lieu of having a health secretary who is committed to keeping American citizens safe and healthy, we’ve been offered the tepid consolation prize of an expired midlife crisis that’s been in slow decay since the mid-90s."

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.

I do think this ICE BS is backfiring. They thought footage of their racist thugs would be widely cheered by their base and instead more people are turning on them and/or becoming radicalized. Folks already against them who might've been angry at home are now hitting the streets.

You go, girl!

“What happened yesterday — an outburst of Republican courage — was as rare as a sighting of Bigfoot, Lindsey Graham’s spine, or natural breasts at Mar-a-Lago.” 😂 Charlie Sykes is outdoing himself.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and my town is flooded with cocaine now that Trump pardoned all the traffickers. But at least the State Department is using Times New Roman again.

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Damn, Missouri Wiliams' The Vivisectors is great so far. Out in May.

It’s like if somebody made From Hell about the Salem witch trials

Don’t look away. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

I somehow see it as being more like the final scene in QUILLS.

To be clear, they only tested the two — the assumption is all 72 birds had HPAI. Which um isn’t great.

I want to take the hand of every Democratic senator and gently tell them: "I know you're trying, but I swear to god, if we take back Congress and don't eliminate the filibuster and spend several more years telling people what we wish we could do, I'll spend every day hoping you step on LEGOs."

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.
