"Fiddle-dee-dee. That will require a tetanus shot."

Peter Thiel was alive when popes were covering up widespread, rampant, monstrous sex abuse by Catholic priests. No criticism of those popes. But pope advocating social justice? Yeah, he’s the antichrist. Thiel can very easily find the antichrist, he just needs a mirror

Today is a good day to send a donation, large or small, to Senator Kelly. I sent mine earlier today. markkelly.com

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

No TV show should go on forever. Too many linger too long and have mediocre to bad endings. Sons of Anarchy & House of Cards to start. But a show that ends at the perfect time? Breaking Bad. It’s incredible.

Because there has never been a better time for someone to find their portion of the fandom. Prefer the original trilogy? Got it Prefer The Republic era? Tons of stories Prefer the Struggle of the common people in rebellion? Hooooo boy have you come to the right place Prefer anime? YES COME ON IN

In the world of NASCAR if Steve Phelps who got his start at, checks notes, chef boyardee, thinks he’s gonna beat Richard Childress, he needs to talk to some actual fans of his sport. apple.news/AmeUCUObyQ_a...

Someone was like, "Well, how do we know it's newer riders and not just route shift?" This question is addressed in the conclusion!

I’ve read 6 (so far). Better than 5 last year. At this rate, eventually, I’ll have a year when I read them all. #BookSky apps.npr.org/best-books/?...

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

“Smartest guys in the room” with those fancy off balance sheet entities.

Just finished King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochschild. I had heard of it when it came out, but was inspired to read it now after reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Really a must read for anyone interested in history. Scarily, Lots of parallels to today also. #BookSky #History

I’ve hated Noah for about a decade. I was early and correct.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

I was raised by my grandparents. My grandfather grew up Dickensian- street- urchin- poor on the streets in Manhattan; fought in WWII; and then got a good union civil service job that allowed him to retire after 30 years with a pension at age 61. The loss of that historic connection is a problem now.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I saw José playing softball with his brother Ozzie at Tradewinds park in Coconut Creek. Asked him for an autograph. He blows us off. Older dude starts yelling at him in Spanish. He shrugs and tells us to come over and give him a pen. Older guy was his dad. I have no idea where that autograph is now

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Deactivate your Facebook.

No one living in a red state has experienced any inflation. Things are bigly extremely affordable here in Florida. Especially housing, home & car insurance. That advice doesn’t help people already in red states Republicans want individuals to solve alp problems themselves. They won’t help at all

Social media generally has been filled with rage bait for at least a decade. I have been trying to get people to "not play the game". Anger is the emotion button that platforms push. You can disable it.

This is an incredibly sad article to read. Maternal mortality is a crisis in America today, and there are big problems with how the medical system treats women. But what is not mentioned in the article is the "stark racial disparities in maternal and infant health" www.kff.org/racial-equit...

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

I think it goes without saying this is no way for any country that’s not a complete banana republic to engage in geopolitics. Also, Axios’ role in this should make them pariahs. This is way beyond them acting as a helpful outlet for Republicans, this is them doing Russia’s dirty work for a scoop.

Inclusion from groups that had traditionally been mistreated by American medicine was one element in getting those groups to take the covid vaccine at higher rates than groups that had been traditionally treated much better. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The Lost Generation?

A head of state intertwining his personal wealth with that of his country? Taking years to disentangle?
