Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY! Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day. Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

Trump with a straight face: Denmark can't claim Greenland just because "they had a boat land there 500 years ago"

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

lmaooo

Enjoy your #GoldenGlobe award, Carol... #Pluribus

We're back with our first new episode of 2026! And holy cow what a thrill this one was. Chris Eberle, Adam Murdough and @iamscifi.bsky.social put together what turned out to be a two-part breakdown of Scott Koblish's cover for New History of the DC Universe issue 1. Glorious!

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Just heard @devindra.bsky.social describe the lead of #NoOtherChoice as what would happen if Hank Hill broke bad, and I can't stop thinking about the dark version of a King of the Hill reboot that could have been.

I can't believe they could have named the upcoming #Lanterns series on HBO Law & Oa and they didn't. Missed opportunity.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Mine too!

#StrangerThings finale

They've started replacing the "welcome to the borough" signs so they say Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani instead of Mayor Adams.

you've just opened up a star trek-themed restaurant what are you calling it? Tea, Earl Grey, Shop

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Is #Pluribus the best new show on TV? I'm one episode in, and yes. It does appear to be the case.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Watching #NoOtherChoice, and Park Chan-wook is an absolute master at shot selection, and capturing the bleakness of society. Great soundtrack, too. Easily a shortlist for Best Picture, let's see if the Academy agrees and gives it a nod.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODIES!

Henry thinks he's Professor X, but he's actually The Shadow King. #StrangerThings #IfYouKnowYouKnow

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

so much winning

This month's Previews episode is out as we dissect picks mainly set for February 2026 release. Featuring @iamscifi.bsky.social @raphdoesstuff.bsky.social and Murd, this is our last regular numbered release of 2025. Highlights include a new Muppets comic, Criminal, Archie X Army of Darkness & more!

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Full story about what's going on at CBS News: www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/m...

This comic will not go up until the 26th but here is panel 3 a little early. This is a link to a nice high res version for wallpapers: photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-pR2...

Shocked and so sad to hear about the loss of @lamarrwilson.com I’ll miss our text chats dearly. Having him join us for dinner in Vegas a couple years ago will always be a fond memory. Just the sweetest guy. 💔

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

if the mta sold F/M swap merch they'd be funded for the next decade

My eyes hurt

The Mets signing the most combustible parts of the Yankees' bullpen every offseason is a good bit.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

So I was watching 8-Bit Christmas again and there's this shot of the Nintendo and hidden under it is a really funny detail, that under it is not a record player or laserdisc player but a CED player, the worst possibly home media format ever released, clearly put there by some set dressing media nerd

This entire weekend

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff
