yeah I mean it’s genuinely sad that the “reasonable old school” Republican (who Dems eagerly and unanimously voted to confirm) is out here doing pressers blatantly geeked out coke and it’s not subtle

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

Amazing long read about a lethal doctor

The Justice Department is denying justice to Epstein’s victims to protect one person: Donald Trump. It’s sick. We will enforce the law.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Dr Oz is right, GRS is too expensive in America

to cheer you up, here's Patrick Warburton and his sons (two of which may actually be clones???) doing Kronk lines

one upside of trump insisting on a "presidential address" is it interrupted programming on every major broadcast network. so a whole bunch of normies who only see sanitized versions of him were treated to live video of a rabid fucking hyena behind the presidential seal.

@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder. Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Ch. 6, Sc. 5. Stephen's patient is a sin-eater, viewed by the crew as unlucky. He is interrupted in an explanation involving his loblolly boy by the offer of a remora to observe. Joy of the smooth-running ship, land on the starboard bow. (43/n)

Seems inconvenient but okay

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

Here’s my full report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-d...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government

FBI operations director Michael Glasheen says antifa is the government’s “primary concern” as “the most immediate violent threat” domestically. Bennie Thompson asks where antifa exists in the US and how many members it has. “Well that’s very fluid.” A remarkable exchange. Full:

it's always amazing to me how people whose entire way of life and economic well-being depends on the university in their town are also, somehow, incredibly mad that they have to share that town with that university's students

Petition to get Zach Woods on Bluesky

The internet's pal @kevinmkruse.bsky.social said a thing the other day that got me thinking about the dissembling rhetoric of white flight being ripped out of GOP discourse at about the same rate that an adult reasoning capacity is being stripped from Trump's brain and how shitty reality is for it.

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

Squee! As the kids won't stop saying! @elliottkalan.bsky.social is on @marxbrotherscouncilpodcast.com as the prophets foretold. Enjoying the deep dive into Elliott's career. AND, I found a gift for my spouse to give to me in Elliott's new book, Joke Farming. And I love Kristen Schall's review:

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Does anyone remember the Lusitania? Hegseth is no student of history.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

Yeah give me that good stuff

Ahem. In the film "Blue Ruin" the titular blue ruin is represented by his car. That is all.

You can't wrap your wife, but you can frame her! #doublejeopardy @dankmccoy.bsky.social

Going to lose my mind if I see another local police department who thinks it's their job to "maintain peace" by protecting DHS goons from residents. If you want peace and safety in your city, have law enforcement block off streets and prevent DHS from causing and accelerating chaos.

My opinion has been for years that all personalised algorithms are evil and there should be a total ban. No YouTube reccomendations, no Twitter, no personalised news sites. If you want specific information, look for it.
