“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

By what right does the US assert control over Greenland...? (Yes, rhetorical. JTFC)

could the bull 💩 get any shittier? 🤬

is it too much to ask that our next president not be an old white guy? probably *sigh*

abso-FUCKIN-lutely 🤬

Fascinating history behind one of my favorite Christmas songs... which maybe I'll learn to play this year.

Saying the silent part out loud. Again.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

evil fucks 🤬

We haven't seen an Indiana squad turn back an Alabama offense this decisively since Antietam

andy cohen's "am i excited about 2026? [pregnant pause] yeah. i... yeah. i mean, what's the alternative?" is the realest thing i've seen all night

It seems vaguely perverse to be cheering for Miami...but I kinda want them to make it to the championship and have their asses kicked by Indiana for their sins. #goirish

Being tethered to the archaic past is keeping us from boldly moving forward.

Stay safe tonight. We need every one of you to on board to hold the line. We got this. Happy new year!

Today's Christmas carol is the soulful "I Wonder As I Wander," written by John Jacob Niles. This one's based on the snippet of a song he found while collecting folk songs in the Kentucky mountains.

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

Because it's a good day, a thread of images from fantastic show I saw last week: African-American artist Allan Rohan Crite at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. First up, Crite's luminous "Streetcar Madonna," which resonates with incoming NYC mayor's pledge to make transit more affordable

i love this for him.

The next Christmas carol up is a delightful old folk song called "Carol of the Birds" (hmm, why did that appeal to me?). (Link to FB because of Bsky video length limit.) www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ai8...

The skies are clear. Satellite tracking is online, radar & infrared are calibrated Last week, Dasher & Blitzen made a few test passes over Colorado Springs to assist with readiness exercises. We are ready, willing, & able. It's almost go time.

The French Cajuns of Texas and Louisiana have their own Santa Claus: Papa Noël. Instead of a sleigh, Papa Noël rides a pirogue (dugout canoe) pulled by a team of 8 alligators. His wife/companion, 'La Christine' brings sweets after Papa Noël delivers presents to all the good children on the bayou.

Words matter. Use them well and with intent. #TheMoreYouKnow

🔥🧵 If your bodily autonomy or freedom of expression don't include trans rights and gender nonconformity, they're neither autonomous nor free. None of us is free while one of us is chained - even if I don't find a given chain an unwelcome confinement.

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

i love trans people 💙🏳️‍⚧️💙
