the year is 2026, the secretary of health and human services is telling you you'll be okay because he used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats

Well that would just be another Thursday

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

a society losing the plot in real time

BREAKING: Punxsutawney Phil emerges and is immediately detained by ICE. Six more weeks of fascism.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Thinking about how Mary Poppins definitely gave those kids spoonfuls of laudanum and they were high as balls for the rest of the movie

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

They all scream "WHO'S FUNDING THIS" because 1) somebody is funding them, and 2) they can't imagine that we all just fucking hate them for free

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Minnesota is the best of us.

Yep.

We wouldn't use ICE memes, would we?

genuinely stunning image

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

AAAAAAHHH

sarcasm, motherfucker, do you speak it

gotta say, the vice president saying "watch this" about a video that ends with a dead mother being called a "fucking bitch" is [unprintable]

This was written before today's video release, but this NY Times article is a really good rebuttal of the administration's lies that Renee Good's vehicle was a threat. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

jonathan ross “feared for his life” yet calmly filmed the entire interaction & never set his phone down, even when murdering renee good

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

This case really is as good an example of a black and white moral test for news organisations as you’ll get, and many of them are failing it. You cannot both-sides a factually unequivocal event unless you use ‘a lie’ as one of those sides.

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Even funnier is that, apparently during training, Ukrainian soldiers apparently pointed out that the minefields they were trained to breach were 3-4x thinner than what they were seeing on the frontlines and, IIRC, the Germans basically went "that's impossible, it's against the rules."

If we're able, it's good to pay for the things we value, or they go away. I joined the @techdirt.com Insider Shop this year. If you value the good work from @mmasnick.bsky.social @karlbode.com & co., consider chipping in. www.techdirt.com/2025/12/26/t...

Six years ago on this date, the pioneering champion of cutting-edge fiction, Richard Kostelanetz, let me reprint his 1988 survey of 13 neglected classics of experimental American fiction, most of which are still out of print decades later. neglectedbooks.com/?...

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

"I'm sorry but I need to roll out some dough and I can't do that with a dick in my face."

"We don't want to be Luddites --" brother, Luddites were opposed to bosses concentrating wealth by using technology to make inferior product with warehouses fulls of starving exploited child labor. You don't have to wear the team jersey but respect the game.

While in the 80s it was just something you said during sex, in the years since Leonard Cohen wrote his song the word “Hallelujah” has increasingly taken on a religious meaning

#sff The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction that was supposed to come out this last summer is finally out. They got a new publisher and there were growing pains. It contains my novelet 'The Corporate Soul' and Afrofuturist sf from Maurice Broaddus and other cutting edge sf and fantasy.
