Trump take Christmas

oh my god

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

DECEMBER 17 like are you even a gay Catholic if you make a Christmas playlist and DON'T put Sufjan Stevens on it I have a few faves but I think this is my #1. it's such a great deep cut carol no one ever does, and he brings such a lightness to it

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

The Steam winter sale is now live. Just sayin'.

Here come the brides 🥹💍 Congrats Cece and Alyssa on your beautiful wedding!

"Who could be behind this?"

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week

If you think I'm going to pay $80k a year in tuition you better believe I want my kid taught by an underpaid human TA who is slowly beating eaten alive by ennui and his marinating feelings of grievance over the impossibility of ever landing a tenure track job.

Posted to Truth Social by @realdonaldtrump at 2:36 a.m.: Peeta Mellark was treated very unfairly by Nasty Katniss Everdeen, who has gone CRAZY. Katniss looks tough on TV, but we all know she's in a basement in Horrible District 13, which was never "HOT!" See you soon, Katniss!

Like walking out of a pub because it was full of dickheads and they start shouting at you to come back because "this isn't fair, you have to listen to me"

Subtext: This entire family *is* vaccinated, and the mom got a booster while pregnant. Their child was just 2 weeks old when she contracted whooping cough -- too young to be vaccinated. But experts say if vax rates drop, this kind of infection becomes more common -- bc the disease is just around.

Trump take game

By contrast they did not like Biden and did not try to help him - denying him the long-standing courtesy of airing Presidential addresses that they honored for Trump tonight bsky.app/profile/cmew...

AOC on a 2028 presidential race against JD Vance: “I would stomp him.”

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable) call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line trans people deserve so much better

You’ve done it now you’ve radicalized the most anodyne man in America

Materialism strikes again! You can lie to people about a trans athlete they’ve never met or a border 2,000 miles from their home, but you can’t go “actually you’re paying less for groceries”

hey man did you notice that the Westfold fell. yeah everyone was looking for you. i mean it’s not a big deal. no really it’s fine just for next time you should probably be around

absurdly, wildly influential, one of the first big viral YouTube videos and basically responsible for launching The Lonely Island (and especially Samberg) to stardom and you know what, they deserved every last bit of that success, this shit still slaps

“That is what it looks like when you zoom in on a mugshot of someone who killed her whole family in a meth-fueled rage after their MLM fell apart. That is a woman who bought too many leggings.” —my wife

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

CHRISTOPHER: hey tone — there’s this guy. says he’ll take care of the “who” problem. no questions. he’s got some kinda vendetta. TONY: oh yeah? some kinda real monster, huh? that’s who you bring to me? this guy have a fuckin’ name, chrissy? CHRISTOPHER: yeah, he does, actually. da grinch

Funny (not funny) thing is that Trump first gained power because the GWB administration made a war out of thin air. Criticizing the Iraq war was largely how he separated himself from the other 2016 GOP presidential candidates. If only he was able to remember this.

Imagine being a right-wing newspaper columnist whose job consists of writing like 800 words per week while making 6 figures and saying this.

I sympathize with our students not knowing what to do about genAI, given that some parts of the university are busy telling them to use it and get certificates in it and demanding they apply it and some of us are begging them to stop destroying themselves and the planet and our minds.

Wow okay cool I’m glad this speech is garnering attention because it felt historic and sent shivers down my spine

I asked @aoc.bsky.social about why she posted this tweet, and she said “because JD Vance is a goober, man.”

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

This is just five minutes. Please watch this and share it with anyone you think might be moved by it. And then call your US rep and tell them to vote AGAINST all of the anti-trans bills Republicans are pushing this week. Find your rep at reps.fyi

As a white guy with an ivy degree who is bad at math, I'm exactly the target audience for that article. it's a really striking example of the way white resentment is aimed and shaped; the way the visibility of race & gender (combined with their interpretive flexibility) make them into flashpoints

How can you address men's emotional needs at a time when the "feminization of everything" has become the consensus source of all society's problems, and emotional needs are coded as feminine?

If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

yeah this is very dishonest and banks on people not knowing how Classics departments have evolved over the years. "Roman military history prof" was the orthodoxy for YEARS. depts shrank as interest in that stuff waned. it's not uninteresting! but to many students yes it was. the ancient world 1/2

I'm old enough to remember Paul Wellstone's death, and how Republicans led the dumbest pundit dickheads in a round of schoolmarm scolding after liberals celebrated Paul's life in partisan terms. All I can say is: Get over it. This is how we should pay respects to one of our own: Partisan as fuck.

When you’re walking somewhere and see a little dog or cat peeking out a window? That’s the stuff right there. The meanign of life

we are going to win

According to C-SPAN, the occasion for these remarks is "President Trump Hosts Hanukkah Reception"

A podcast asked me to record a voice note about my prediction for 2026 and here it is.
