Watching some new years thing from Dallas and they are showing grainy video of fireworks going off by that tower with the big ball on top and they are playing Yellow by Coldplay and now Tim Mcgraws version of when the stars go blue. 10/10 no notes

Happy New Year to real America (central time zone)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSgH... time to listen to this song and pretend like it's NYE 2003 listening to the a burned DCFC cd driving across south Arkansas headed to Shreveport for the Independence bowl

My 10 year old just came to the realization that Caesar salad dressing and ranch dressing are different things

Kids are arguing over which Netflix fireplace video to turn on

Did my fatherly duty this morning

Yuck Everything outside is wet from condensation

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

I’ve been white for 43 years and have never been asked to apologize for it. This is “now we can say merry Christmas” level bullshit

I like a lot of British things but I’ve accepted that I’m never going to understand cricket

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

When all the Epstein redaction bars unite and become sentient

“They’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them. It is something I’ve never encountered.” www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent. Adopting. Babies. What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

The crispness of the animation of Charlie Brown holiday specials on Apple TV throws me off. They were meant to be seen on a crt cabinet television on local CBS or better yet, a vhs recorded off cbs

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Spinal Tap is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched. When harry met sally is a perfect romcom A few good men is one of the great courtroom dramas Princess bride is just a great movie all around.

Now rooting for bills in afc and bears in nfc

The governing board of the educational television network formerly known as Arkansas PBS voted Thursday to separate the agency, rebranded as Arkansas TV, from the national network. #arpx

Also saw an ad for new years rockin Eve and while I am anxious to get 2025 behind us, the old man part of me that always like “where did the time go?” is absolutely not ready for another year to be gone

Watching the end of the Heisman trophy presentation and am yet again reminded that it is bs that Darren McFadden never won it

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Two Towers on opening night, there was a tornado warning that made the theater stop the movie for about 15 minutes. Saw Goblet of Fire in an old theater that would soon be closed and the heat was out. Was the only person one theater when I saw into the spiderverse

feel like we don't hear "Silver Bells" in the xmas song rotation as much as we used to

Appreciate this letter from MN State Sen Jim Abler (R-Anoka) to POTUS

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration. Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying. The truth comes out.

Excluding IJ and SW, I’ve got a soft spot for clear and present danger. I watched it on cable so many times as a kid

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Emil Bove is, by all appearances, a criminal who flagrantly broke the law on Trump’s behalf multiple times before his confirmation. The fact that he has since donned the black robe is all the more reason to investigate and punish his extreme wrongdoing. This man is a stain on the judiciary.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

plugged in an old ipad for the first time in a while and it still has the old twitter app with the bird icon on it. RIP

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No star wars, star trek, marvel, disney animated, or pixar.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

Free public universities? Best I can do is a chance for a couple of people to lob footballs and giant Dr Pepper cans for scholarships
