In London a time comes every day where the ghosts get their own back. It's often subtle but always undeniable, and it's strongest in autumn & winter. If you're ever at loose ends on Christmas Eve, pay respects at St Michael's Cornhill. Because here, down the alley, was Scrooge's counting house.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently? If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this: If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

Cartoon: Fleece Navidad. With thanks to @baconwrangler.bsky.social for the suggestion :)

@lartist.bsky.social Too late for this year, but had the inspiration of "Fleece Navidaaad" for a Christmas illustration. Go for it!

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Friend: I’m getting my dog’s DNA tested. Me: Why, are you worried you’re not his real dad?

I didn’t win the powerball but the winning numbers included 4, 20, and 69 so SOMEBODY won.

Whenever I post about this I get snarky people replying "Who cares? What difference does it make." Well, the whole phenomenon of people not understanding what makes a breed and how rare they are is exactly what enables unethical backyard breeders to do what they do.

😢🚨✊ “This document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Wait, did Alex Jones get Infowars back?

"prompt theft" is funny as hell like oh no somebody did the same google search as me. grow up

Incredible words from real boxer Anthony Joshua after he knocked Jake Paul the fuck out lol

I don't give a single solitary fuck about what happens to Bill Clinton, specifically, but I also want to go on record as saying there is no one, famous or a personal friend, who I hold so dear that if they were a rapist, I would not want that news coming out. Name, shame, prosecute. ALL. OF. THEM.

For some reason, the theme music from M.U.L.E. on the Commodore 64 has popped into my head and it makes me happy.

Then fucking leave, you shithead

Recreating the Mexican flag for #ArtAdventCalendar 🪶

Waiting up until midnight for a cranberry apple cobbler to finish baking was not how I planned to stay up past my bedtime tonight. My fault for deciding to bake two of them (one for the neighbors) but had to prepare them one at a time since I don't have any massive cooking bowls.

Rare “Particularly Dangerous Situation” alert issued by NWS Boulder, CO for Friday in the Foothills for gusts up to 100 mph!! It’s due to a strong “downslope” wind. Air accelerates downhill and also drys out, making for damaging gusts and potentially rapid fire spread.

Today was actually Covid, flu, and whooping cough boosters, as there’s a new baby in the family and anything that happens to harm that child will not be on my conscience. Still cannot believe we live in a world where anyone would willingly let it be on theirs.

The Dems should have posted this latest Epstein photo dump yesterday morning before Trump's nationwide blathering. The speech would have been far more interesting. In fact, they should do an Epstein photo dump the morning before any big Trump speech.

Star Citizen 2025 Player Survey Final Question If I could give one message to the devs on the current state of Star Citizen today... #StarCitizen #Squadron42.

A recent analysis by Food & Water Watch found that the average Tampa Electric bill will soon 82% higher than it was five years ago. That amounts to about $939 more per year. There have been four price increases in TECO electric rates in the last 12 months. www.fox13news.com/news/tampa-e...

A Chocolate Orange has doubled in price – and got smaller. Why?

Down the right alley, from the right angle, York rewards you with collaged history.

Can we stop with the "if there are exploits in games, it's the dev's fault, not the players !" narrative ? What about this : you find an exploit, you report it, don't use it and don't spread it on social networks ? How about that ? Don't be dicks/cunts.

Seconds to Chaos in Chicago: Car door ripped open and phone smashed to the ground as Citizen Records ICE in public. When "rights" aren't respected on the street, your safety is the priority. Watch your back, friends.

Browsing birds and cats at 1:30 am is just what I needed right now.

A reminder tonight that Venezuela has nothing to do with fentanyl. The vast majority of the fentanyl supply begins as precursor chemicals in China, is manufactured in Mexico, and makes it to the U.S. by land, mostly smuggled by U.S. citizens hiding it within lawful trade and traffic at entry points.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

All the anime I watch are still on hiatus, so I've been trying to find something interesting with English subs. I recently binged out on "That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime" and the new season of Spy x Family. Is there anything like Solo Leveling, Rising of the Shield Hero, or Demon Slayer?

I yeeked.

okay, enough with flooding my timeline with reposts (I like to share funny or enraging things.) TO THE KITCHEN!

omg they rebranded ice cream

This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛
