conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

You know how in a lot of fantasy stories magic spells are spoken in Latin? Do you think in those world people in Ancient Rome had to be careful not to accidentally cast a spell in casual conversation?

“Now we’re heading back over to Razor, Brick, and Judd”… god I love sports

The girls have inherited the family “enjoys snow shoveling” gene

I know it's early days but I think people may have over-reacted about the Goldeneyes and the Torrent having an unfair personnel advantage and dominating the league.

A really for real snowy day on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. What a gift.

The first Zootopia is a movie about racial profiling and the second is about erasure of disenfranchised communities by those in power. Like this is Disney? Disney Disney? THAT Disney?

Singing Deck the halls to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme

Trying to explain to my kids that even though, as a family, we show up early to everything, many other people do not

Watching Thursday Murder club and my main takeaway so far is that Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren can both absolutely still get it

Goofy as Jacob Marley is the most unhinged casting in Mickeys Christmas Carol.

I feel like a very specific part of the American elder millennial experience was exposure to an absolute fuck ton of CBC programming through Nickelodeon.

My kids are watching a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Linus is telling the story of the first Thanksgiving and my wife is screaming "THAT STORY ISN"T TRUE" and it's great to get these periodic reminders that alot of her friends growing up were Wampanoags.

I didn't watch any sitcoms from like... 2000 to 2015 (ironically because those were the years I was performing comedy every night) and so I still don't get references to the shows that were most popular during that time.

A watched turkey never boils.

I've only had to tell someone to get the fuck out of the kitchen once today (so far)

These IBM AI ads feel like they were written by AI

Kids who get bullied grow up become one of two kinds of adults: the first are adults who say "I will never let any child suffer the way I did" and the other are adults who say "I will make everyone suffer the way I did"

I will dress up to fly on airplanes when they include food/snacks, free checked bags, and ample legroom in economy class again

It’s sad that “soldiers shouldn’t commit crimes” is a brave position for a Republican to take.

you don’t understand, under Biden doordash was expensive

A 4 hour defunctland youtube video? Yes, please.

Whistles have become essential in the fight against federal immigration overreach in Chicago. Folks in every city facing the same nightmare should read this @dansinker.com whistles 101 piece with info on sourcing, distribution & tactics.

A fun thing about the PWHL is a plausible thing that can (and did) happen is that two wives can go to the penalty box together when one got a regular penalty and then the second got into a fight to defend her honor.

Fleet Win!!! #pwhl

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.

Following up Hades 2 with Winter Burrow, the exact opposite game

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The Canadian national anthem is such a banger

I want to like the Frost but also like… Britta Curl’s on that team #pwhl

Happy PWHL opening weekend!!!

I feel like Only Murders In the Building got a lot of press when it first came out but like… it’s just continued to be great?

Musk's ego was mortally wounded by Joyce Carol Oates and he's been on a narcissistic supply bender since

I’ve got a few more things I’m going to do in Hades 2 and then I’m going to move on to a new game but it’s everything you’d want in a sequel. All the stuff you love from the first one but more, bigger, gayer.

Gray Misty which is also my soft jazz name

Take a Muppet movie. Change all the cast to humans except for one muppet. and if there are humans in the movie they are now muppets too. I'll start- Muppet Treasure Island. Fozzie is now a human played by Steven Seagal. Everyone else stays or becomes a muppet.

the only real way to think about these raids is terrorist attacks

Aren't all holidays "made up" holidays?

Is there a more perfectly American fun fact than the fact that Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" speech took place at Disney World?

The excuse rich guys use to justify their obscene wealth is they deserve it because of the value they’ve created for society and I just don’t buy that. Like has Elon Musk really created more value for society than every teacher in America? You realize that sounds insane, right?

Maybe if we all dressed in paramilitary uniforms they wouldn’t call us outside agitators?

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon
