Exciting mail day!

Why do I never have wrapping paper?

I've mostly been talking about the Trump regime's plan to dismantle NCAR, but you might be asking yourself, wtf is NCAR and why should I care? @drshepherd2013.bsky.social has got you covered here. www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Every time I see something like this I love Bill Waterson and his choice to not license any Calvin & Hobbes stuff a little bit more.

I got the greatest bowl at H-Mart.

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

Michael Hurley tribute gig in Richmond, Virginia this weekend... * “Obviously, the people that love his music will like it,” [Michael Hirsch] laughs. “And maybe some that are a little lost in life, too.” www.styleweekly.com/slurf-songs/

The problem isn't that we can't talk to each other The marketplace has heard the ideas Large supermajorities reject them Yet our anti-democratic political institutions allow the 20-25% that like those ideas to capture & control all the institutions The problem is the anti-democratic institutions

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

This stuff is getting ridiculous.

It's funny how some of the big liberal accounts on here think inflation is just a minor issue. Dude, my groceries went up $50/week from last year. An extra $200/month....since last year. An extra $2400/year...it destroyed the 2.4% raise I got 2 years ago.

This article which is about this movie of course, but it's also about how you should maybe not travel to a family gathering if your kids are visibly sick and coughing all over the place. Do you want The Children (2008)? Because that's how you get The Children (2008).

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.

I do love CD's, especially how I can get music I want to learn about on the cheap! The price of records these days is something....

Dating apps should give a year end wrap up with pie charts displaying what ages, genders, and ethnicities you liked and interacted with most and then show you a slideshow of everyone that unmatched you. We can still make this experience worse.

New album release today with @trippnasty.bsky.social ! So excited to see this one come out. Thanks, Tripp! chesterwinowiecki.bandcamp.com/album/a-shor...

No war with Venezuela. Americans are exhausted by forever wars and attempts at regime change.

KLOBUCHAR: You've launched investigations into every major broadcast network except Fox. Is that correct? CARR: I don't know if that's true or not. We do have investigations going on NPR and PBS. We have a number of investigations. (That's a yes)

In 1911, to promote efforts of American missionaries abroad, an arm of the missions board sponsored a massive traveling exhibit of the world's religions. The "Japan Scene" was dominated by a replica of a Buddhist temple, traveling from Boston to Cincinnati and elsewhere. 🧵 🗃️ 📜 #Cincinnati

Look, I'm not one to quickly believe in conspiracy theories about us attacking Venezuela on a made up provocation to distract from the Epstein files, but the timing of all this is not helping me convince myself that it's not true.

We have a Constitution that is meant to prevent an unhinged executive from dragging the nation into war without just cause. Alas.

🥱 who cares...

That this segment didn't win an Edward R. Murrow Award is a travesty.

ALL IN

Subaru > Tesla!

Little mister honey badger thinks he can take on a coyote.

Kyle Clark is always so good at simplifying a complex issue into digestible pieces in the space of minutes.

Conservative judges in 2025: "the founders did not understand the First Amendment to extend to aliens." James Madison, the author of the First Amendment, in 1800: "wtf are you talking about."

Solidarity with the Jewish community, because I feel this every time I see a pride flag in my very Conservative town I live in. Minorities exist and we will continue to exist, and we need to stand together against the bigots who want us gone. I wish all who celebrate a Happy Hanukkah. 🕎

People who offer simple solutions to complex problems are grifters and/or idiots who think they're brilliant. In the below example, we see one of each.

JUST IN: The Denver City Council rejected a contract with Colorado-based airline Key Lime Air on Monday over the company’s work helping carry out President Donald Trump’s mass-deportation efforts. trib.al/oMqglM1

Thank you Gov Polis for sticking by the law and not caving to Federal pressure.

Sounds about right.

Is there no journalist who will treat this as the deranged, psychopathic rantings of a madman that it clearly is? All it would take is one. Q: Mr. President, what the actual fuck? Do you know how evil, deranged, and indecent you sound? Get banned from the White House, go down in history.

lmao

Ngl “a guy dropped out of a CS program after 2 semesters and couldn’t find tech work, therefore we must deport all the Chinese and Indians” really is peak NYTimes lmfao

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

it's not that people are angry at ice out of thin air. they are angry because, as a matter of record, ice is accosting and arresting innocent people, using unreasonable force against protesters, getting harmless people deported, and so on story elides this

😮

“I inherited a mess.” 🤡

I have a better story than people rejoining X. It's called, no one rejoins X and Elon has to deal with a single consequence for his unending stream of catastrophic choices literally one time ever.

excellent not an exit sign

Privacy stalwart Nicholas Merrill spent a decade fighting an FBI surveillance order. Now he wants to sell you phone service—without knowing almost anything about you.

a friend made this and because i am not selfish i am now sharing it with you, namaste

Baby, it’s COLD outside! 🥶

Oh yeah, it's always time to reshare this amazing mix for the holidays. If you haven't heard this, absolutely treat yourself. @liledit.bsky.social took a look back at what it is and how it happened the other year.

Comedy icon Dick Van Dyke is celebrating his 100th birthday.

What if Dick Van Dyke just lives forever?
