"‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock Intl Criminal Court judge out of daily life. Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards or access everyday services (Uber, Alexa, Ticketmaster...) in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary." www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

I regret to inform you that Buckfast tastes not dissimilar to old school Dimetapp

Men will literally fly across the Atlantic to the fair capital of Scotland for Christmas instead of going to therapy. I am Auld Reekie pilled. I’m Edinburghmaxxing.

I assume these are the bride’s parents. They’re wondering what’s wrong too.

The worst type of music is Christmas music. The worst type of Christmas music is jazz/swing versions of Christmas music.

Dear god

Ever notice how every single orange cat has impeccable comic timing

Sure the president is destroying the country to the benefit of a handful of evil billionaires, doing damage it will take a generation to repair, but at least he’s also a serial child rapist

From the right-wing Manhattan Institute's focus group of Gen Z conservatives -- just jaw-dropping stuff. We have a very sick society. www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

lol, it’s a stitch up. Of course it is.

Profiles in Courage

Stuff like this remains one of the most baffling manifestations of the imperial death drive. Why the hell would you destroy this system that's made a world leader in science? What's the end game here? Do they think science is solved?

Donald Trump (winner of the FIFA Peace Prize) continues amassing warships in the Caribbean while bombing small vessels without any legal justification and threatening a full on invasion of Venezuela. Congress has the power to block Trump’s march to war with Venezuela, but they need to hear from us.

Well, uhhh, Karp’s a Nazi. But I guess this was probably pretty obvious.

I uhhh…hahaha

It's always sunny in Eriador.

An yglesias flashback

Weird how this keeps happening

SCOOP: The Trump administration may revoke the visas of critics of Elon Musk's Twitter. The move would mark one of the admin's first attempts to revoke the visas of people they deem to be engaging in the “censorship” of Americans.

This is demented, I almost have to laugh at it

The more contact I have with the policy end of health care in this country, the more I’m flabbergasted by the way it’s organized. It’s a nightmare Rube Goldberg machine and it doesn’t have to be like this.

A spreadsheet game about the rebuilding of Terra after the events of the Horus Heresy would fix me

A new study has found that Chattanooga, Tennessee's decision to build their own affordable community-owned fiber broadband network has driven $5.3 billion in economic benefits back to the community. From my colleague and friend @seangon.bsky.social:

Call, write, or visit your U.S. Senators and Representative to co-sponsor and vote YES on the bi-partisan War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate. Click here to send them a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/no-w...

You’re really not going to like hearing how white women voted as a demographic, nor how that stacks up against any group of Somalis you care to think of. It’s almost as if you’re a dumb racist!

Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.

Either a raccoon or a hyena, I think.

Returning to my rigid "block all NAFO avatars on sight" policy

In some ways, I think MAGA understands law and order best because they rightly see that the law is just politics, nothing else.

Not beating the “in on it” allegations

I don’t use this app but I noticed some supportive messages popping up and I really appreciate that 🥹💞

The Romans did this neat thing called damnatio memoriae.

Move over Johnny Appleseed, there's a new tree-spreading legend: Johnny Alligator! Let's talk about alligators & crocodiles as seed dispersers. We'll start with what this happy gator has in her mouth: a pond apple (Annona glabra), also called an ALLIGATOR APPLE. (📷: NPS Everglades)

I'm proud to report that I was an early adopter of hating JD Vance. And boy has that not changed.

This is reality denial every bit as pernicious as anything that’s come from Trump.

This is, like many things that the administration is doing, so outrageous that it nearly defies description. This alone should end Trump's presidency and it shouldn't even be controversial.

Remember, these regime-changers *do not* care about democracy. This is pure PR narrative. The US gladly coups democratically elected leaders (Mosaddegh, Lumumba, Allende, etc), and gladly props up actual autocracies (Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, etc) if it serves their interests.

Buddy,

This Day in Labor History: December 1, 1868. A young black former Union soldier named John Henry was among a group of convicts sent from Richmond to West Virginia to blast a railroad tunnel, where he would soon die. Let's talk about the real John Henry!!!

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

Hey so this CIA-trained Afghan death squad guy predictably snapped and took out some National Guardsmen so we're gonna have to go ahead and invade Venezuela

AIPAC Shakur, everybody

Hey guys, just checking in to see how the Wren Baker/Product Rodriguez experience is going and…oh. Oh wow. Well, at least it didn’t cost anyone their last scraps of pride or dignity to get here. It’s not like they spent every atom of credibility they ever had for th…oh

Wow, fucked up. If only we knew who sent them there totally unnecessarily.

God, this rules so hard.
