Another Indiana Republican Senator makes it clear he’s still opposing the GOP push to re-gerrymander the state. dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

I mean, as fighting words as it gets here from a GOP official against the White House.

the solution to the male tromboneliness epidemic is for the government to enforce a brass quota on the music industry

why is it always the means, why don't the ends justify the nices

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

ME: yeah... if you call that livin' MY FRIEND VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN: hey man seriously can you stop saying that ME: honestly, no

Lord 'tis but a flesh wound' Uxbridge

That's a scene from Blackadder, that.

This is really great, and also any fiction writer worrying that their character names are unrealistic should take a good hard look at Sir Hussey Vivian.

🤣

At first you're like, why does this have a wiki page Then you find out it might be the best wiki page ever

Every blizzard dev should be made to play An Unplayable Game. It's a free 15-40 min game on steam and fucking explains accessibility in a way idiots can get it. Let me have add-ons or give a shit about accessibility

There’s a few accounts that post stuff like this most mornings or evenings and I absolutely live for it. Thank you for being a light on the skyline.

OK, off to bed for me. … Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

If you haven't gotten a measles vax in a couple decades, it almost certainly won't hurt you to re-up. I had my MMRs redone in 1991 because college required it and I didn't have my childhood records, and then again last year or maybe in '23, when there was a minor measles outbreak local to me.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

A great read:

"...a rightwing man complains that women don’t want to date him. Often enough, he is an avowed libertarian, leaving it a mystery why he does not simply accept the workings of the free market." One of the good, slow burns.

Mr. Beaver warned us about AI.

the GOP has always been on the "everything I don't like is Terrorism" beat, but oh boy this is an escalation. what a chilling precedent for preventing anyone with any drug-related charges (or alleged charges) (or vague, fabricated accusations based on racism) from having a chance to contest them

“The precedent is Flint.” Amazon has come to Oregon’s eastern farmland, worsening a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages. Read the story ⤵

Leave little Saruman alone.

Another thing I enjoy about Princess Liselotte is that she wrote *60,000* letters in her life, like a historian said "if she'd been alive today, she'd constantly be on the phone" But I think that combined with her writing style more so tells me she was a Chronically Online Poster in spirit

Yeah uhhhh, this is not a guy who wakes up in the morning eager to say that the American military did war crimes!

I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.

I know this is correct, but it’s also really hard to sit with when those of us who STUDIED FUCKING HISTORY WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GUANTANAMO OPENED UP AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

my gift guide is you should buy cool stuff created by cool people on bluesky. buy their books, their art, their old-school zines, their music, their nut mixes, a membership to their patreon, their off-kilter tote bags, etc. (and if you have a thing people should buy, post it! right now!)

Reminder that all the "pardons" granted to Jan6ers whose convictions were still pending were auto-pen pardons.

Hegseth - and the people carrying out his orders - need to be tried in The Hague for this

this man has an approval rating in the mid-30s and dropping, everything he does turns to shit, you do not have to do this

What can you say but the greatest betrayal of all pretensions to American values in our history, and the payoff of the most successful intelligence operation, possibly of all time.

I feel so bad for the kids. No one’s looking out for most of them & the ones whose parents are trying to protect them from repeated infection w/a vascular, immune-disrupting disease often get told they’re “crazy” & should force kids to “get back to normal.” The new normal just keeps getting worse.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

“Every month, you find a new way to disappoint me.” –my Apple Watch, probably.

“I would be most obliged if you would pin this to your Whitemeatt.”

With the rhythm of “Foxy Lady”: Frosty snowman!

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

Yes.

After years of useless posture advice ("imagine a string pulling you up"???), the only technique that's ever worked for me is to imagine there are laser beams coming out of your nipples and aim for people's heads. It works, and people cannot tell you're doing it

Thanksgiving. “I have worked so hard to be able to be at Babson my first semester, that was my dream,” Lopez Belloza told the Globe from Honduras, recounting her frightening experience. “I’m losing everything.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

we need to find the wellsprings of hate and prejudice in our society and seal them shut, we need to burn out the creeping, choking tendrils of conspiracism and corruption. This is all stuff happening in people’s minds and relationships with each other. It’s not because they need another dollar

Since everyone else is doing it: my turkey was spatchcocked and brined and took like an hour and a half. 10/10 would do again.
