listened to the song again for the first time in years because of this post and it really strikes me that the song is not only horny, it's also angry. sir mix-a-lot was fed the fuck UP

NEW: President Trump's first veto of his second term kills a unanimous bill to fund a major drinking water project in Colorado. Trump had threatened punishment for Colorado for imprisoning his ally Tina Peters. www.9news.com/article/news...

She won! Renee Hardman has kept State Senate District 16 in Democratic hands, preventing a GOP supermajority in the Iowa Senate! Another battle won. And more to come. Keep fighting, folks. I'll also add it's kind of wild to see the New York Times giving special coverage to our State Senate race.

I remember when someone was talking about the story of Levy Izhak Rosenbaum's conviction on the day it happened and she hopped on their account and said it was an antisemitic conspiracy thoery, and then the reporter who wrote the article about it corrected her and she refused to believe him lol.

conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: white men should have access to children

Polling suggests Israel is historically unpopular in the demographic corresponding with people likely to have small children, so I need someone smarter than me to explain how picking a fight with Ms. Rachel of all people makes any sense whatsoever. nypost.com/2025/12/26/o...

Cecilia Giménez, famed for ‘Monkey Christ’ mural mishap, dies at 94

One of the all-time great poasters, Mike Fossey, passed away last week. RIP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration says it's freezing child care funds to Minnesota after a series of fraud schemes in recent years.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

Doctors Without Borders is also Hamas, just like Human Rights Watch are, like Amnesty International and indeed every aid and civil liberties organisation on earth that comments. Mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians scrambling for bags of flour though, that is just fine.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

These major panics also tend to coincide with real systemic child sexual abuse being exposed. In the case of the first Satanic Panic, it was abuse coverups in the Catholic church as well as a run of protestant cults getting exposed

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

it's fucked that we're expected to take seriously all these guys who'd get kicked out of a clown car for being too goofy. who cares what an adult man who says Based thinks, he's stupid. he thinks George Soros stole the green M&M's sexy boots, and he thinks it a LOT. let's hear his immigration ideas

I do wish my cats had favorite hobbies other than screaming

It is crazy that "you shouldn't win an award for your writing if you didn't write it" should be a controversial idea but here were are!

CNN is reporting that the CIA carried out a drone strike in Maracaibo, Venezuela. However, my sources in the city are reporting that no drone strike occurred. The company that was supposedly targeted is also denying that an attack happened.

This is functionally equivalent to - & equally illegitimate - as Russia invading Ukraine. As @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social notes: "the US wasn’t attacked by Venezuela, someone based in Venezuela, or anyone else. There’s no self-defense argument, and the US didn’t even try for UNSC authorization."

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

When you can charge Median Annual Salary for a one-hour talk, your opinions start closely resembling those of people and orgs that are able/willing to pay you Median Annual Salary for an hour of your time

Some species officially bid us farewell this year. Recent IUCN assessments now list the slender-billed curlew, Christmas Island shrew, three Australian bandicoots, plants in Mauritius and Hawai‘i, and a Cape Verde cone snail as extinct.

I always try to emphasize this: in the big picture, the median liberal, aka the kind of person who donates to ActBlue, or is a campaign volunteer, or who makes up part of one of many of the legacy liberal organizations, is to the left of the median liberal think tanker or Congressman on Palestine.

This 1897 ad for Admiral Cigarettes was one of the very first filmed commercials and it shows that the scripts for these things has not changed in 130 years. A group of national symbols sit NOT smoking when a showgirl in a pantsless admiral costume bursts out of a cigarette box with smokes for all

Brigitte Bardot, French screen legend, dies aged 91

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

We need Nuremberg trials for the Trump administration officials who illegally sent these men to a torture camp. No "forward, not backward" BS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Trump is now suing because he wouldn’t perform for him. I am trying to think of another iteration of the executive branch across its sordid history that has been this fragile in the face of the mildest criticism. Petty? Cruel? Yes. Pathetic? Truly a contender. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
