Trump – a dude with a low IQ and impulse control issues – is in his imperial era. <s>Nothing could possibly go wrong!</s>

It's horrific to live in a time where we all know murdering is morally wrong and yet everywhere it is happening. If Netanyahu, Putin, and Trump were to vanish tonight, would it end the violence?

Jesus Christ. WTF is Trump doing? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

@tasslefizney1.bsky.social Blocking you is a little crazy. Checking those accounts to see if they're real people.

Don Cheadle is amazing. I'm watching House of Lies again (and it's so deeply fulfilling for my deepest hatred of management consultants over the last 30 years).

I'm late to clock this, but wow. Great investigative tech coverage. themarkup.org

Vanquish them. If they return for more than 30 days/year, tax them like they live here. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/t...

THIS should be CATEGORICALLY ILLEGAL. #JailTrump

This is also my goal for 2026… as someone who spent a career in tech. The outcomes, which were predicted, is catastrophic. It take forever to unwind from this insidiousness. Fits and starts since Cambridge Analytica. 2026 will be in earnest.

In my family we have a motto: Old people die for a reason. The world gets relieved of their shitty opinions and racist hatefulness. Can’t wait for this party.

Bari Weiss, continuing to demonstrate that she is an asshole and is offering to prove she's a conservative propagandist. Jealous that the Clooneys are now French citizens. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Who are you and why are you asking for money?! Look at this tome text.

Tidal v Spotify Jane Says on Spotify sounded like my tape was getting eaten by my boom box, it slowed down and I got a panic attack. 😅😅😅

Nicholas Merrill is a hero. The origin story is fascinating. I'm going to give Phreeli.com a whirl. The rates are great. Looking back at data usage, I can see where my ISP service was out. 13GB of data. Yikes. Also, the Patriot Act needs to be repealed – entirely.

The usual suspects! www.wired.com/story/most-d...

This has been going on since Nixon. By "increasingly" he may mean "more blatant and with utter disregard"... and it includes not just law or the Constitution, it also social mores. This is spread widely from Trailer parks to Capitol Hill, to the Supreme Court. Nihilism and democracy cannot coexist.

This is an excellent list. www.npr.org/2025/12/17/n...

Now that the year is almost over, I want to thank one Korean company their lovely chain bakeries: Paris Baguette. We now revel in egg custards, strawberry whipped creme cake, and more. I buy the loaf milk bread, so I can approximate the Japanese 7-11 egg salad sandwich. Blessings! www.paris.co.kr

📙 Finishing today. Vuong: "Fiction is strongest when it launches a moral question…. The questions that we couldn't ask in life because the costs would be too much. Fiction and narrative art give us a vicarious opportunity to see these questions play out, at no true cost to our own."

Californians: we need this. www.youtube.com/shorts/Eda1j...

I love RR.

Any folks out there #sew? I mostly do furniture and home decor, but I have an Alabama Chanin book, plus vintage 50s patterns and old design books for Balenciaga and Dior that I’d like to try. My dress form mocks me at this point.

I’m finally hemming the slipcover I made over a year ago. It’s a very old 80s Ethan Allen sleeper sofa. It had three fussy bottom and back cushions. I updated the look. Crouching is rough on my back. But the worst thing is, I only really basted the slipcover. So I’ve much more to do.

Horrifyingly close to failure. Wordle 1,652 6/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

What in the Newspeak is this? “Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s State Department announced the ‘Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex.’”

Fixed this old rattan chair. It was in my mom’s hoarder house and rats had gotten to it. I replaced the cushion and spent days soaking the fabric to get the urine out. Here’s hoping I have some finish that matches. I love this old chair; glad it could be salvaged. The house was disgusting.

Youtube video posted 12/9/25. This is a next l-level, horrifying practice. I’ll never use a platform like Instacart. They’re abusive to their workforce like Uber. I fucking hate Safeway already and shop there last. I boycott Target entirely. youtu.be/osxr7xSxsGo?...

I need to make some jook/congee. The weather has been miserable.

General thoughts about clothing being manufactured and sold these days. You are smoking crack if you think I'm going to pay a couple hundred dollars for synthetic fabrics. All these clothes are plastic and petrochemical waste products.

American obsession with stuff contributes to our climate and environmental crisis. I guess a good reminder for today. www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

Wikipedia image of the day... I ran around these citrus groves as a child. My dad’s bestie from college was the grove manager at Limoneira Ranch in Santa Paula, California.

Woke up to very intense wind and rain. We’re lucky this storm is moving fast, we would have flooded if it had gone on for an hour. Quite surprised our power is still on.

1hr15m into Wake Up Dead Man... are MAGA steamed and leaving WOKE Netflix yet? They must be so offended for their cult leader.

Ten years after the hot flashes started, they're finally abating. Yes, I've been taking HRT, but it really only dulled the roar. I even had to stop wearing pullover sweaters.

I don't want to be that woman, but I cannot possibly listen to 60 seconds of her speaking. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I made myself a special treat tonight. I only made about 20 pods-worth, using less ingredients. It was incredible!! Use the best olive oil you have and some sea salt! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018...

Republicans: Make America great for me – just for me – again.

Changing your name when you get married is so weird. I hold that this subtly bends women to the patriarchy by dissolving their individual identity. Eighty percent of women still do this! daily.jstor.org/marriage-and...

Vance's next wife will surely be EriKKa Kirk. The good news is, Vance can't control MAGA nor will he have the appeal. apnews.com/article/turn...

People always tell me I look like Laura Linney. I don’t. But now that I’m watching “The Big C,” I see that I act like she does – morbid sense of humor and blunt behavior. Plus my face *is* shaped like a shovel.

I don't care if he's alive or dead for it. Dead means he can never do any more harm.

I fucking hate people whole claim they're anti-MAGA and then 1000000% of their replies are absolutely MAGA. Are there suddenly more pro-gun trolls? Because there is a lot of 'sniping' by pro-gun morons.

Sure, Bill. You think we don't remember that you're also an abuser. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This seems gross. Just me? www.worldmarket.com/p/charcuteri...

More foolishness from the 🍊💩 administration. Like sending checks for $2,000 or less, additional federal holidays. GTFO. I wager he's pandering to christians and getting employers to eliminate paid holidays like MLK day. Next up: Dear Leader Day. FTG

this is still my take on the Epstein files destroying what’s left of Bill Clinton, by the way

I'll tell you one thing. I'm never buying shit from anything with Trump's name associated with it. TrumpRx can go fuck itself.

Let's play "Bot or not Bot." 1. Why are you following 632 people, when you don't really exist? 2. Why are people following you when you've never posted or replied – like where'd they even find you?

Where are the **unredacted** Epstein files?
