So you know how there’s a pope car in cars, so that means there’s like Jesus in the cars universe, A clip of the muppet Christmas carol reminded me that there’s also a Jesus in the muppet universe, and then I thought was he human or was he a muppet? Anyway these are thoughts you get at midnight.

This is one of those things that makes me so angry about this stuff. We are at an amazing level of technological progress and we can’t even actually appreciate because almost everything they claim it can do is a lie even though what it can do is amazing.

if you want an overview of where humanoid robots are at right now — what's hype and what's real — then check out my long read for @harpers.bsky.social. here's me teleopping a humanoid, and yes i was told MANY times "do not take off the headset until you've disconnected" harpers.org/archive/2025...

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist

The Chargers really got a Pro-Russia singer from the Republic of Georgia to do the national anthem???

Trump has deployed hundreds of National Guard troops into U.S. cities to assist with his violent immigration raids, and has threatened to send multiple branches of the military to cities in the future under the auspices of the Insurrection Act, despite no evidence of an insurrection taking place.

Could be plenty of cage films

Normally non-HOF-worthy guys getting into the HoF via the Veterans Committee sucks but it's so perfect for overrated red ass white guy Jeff Kent that I have to respect it.

Jeff Kent Played The Game The Right Way except for all that stuff about how he fought with teammates and managers everywhere he ever played and he injured himself doing wheelies on his motorcycle then lied about it.

I hate Jeff Kent. It’s terrible he got voted in with Bonds and Clemens not getting in.

Had a blast at @sosprowrestling.bsky.social last night!!! Shout out to @ethanhd.bsky.social doing his best Jeff Hardy

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

these gross fucks. just scum.

Apparently I’m on a block list because I’m anti LLMs and GenAI. Lol good fuck off

Restricting same-sex couples was no longer politically tenable, said law professor Marie-Amelie George, but “trans rights issues were a really successful wedge issue that could bring people to the polls and lead to restrictions on not just trans rights but also gay, lesbian, bisexual rights.”

NEW: Birthright citizenship, firing powers, the National Guard, and Trump's made-up "peace prize." A Trump era Friday in December is not a normal Friday in December. This evening, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-bir...

Looks like it's catching on: bsky.app/profile/chri...

for generations scholars have debated which gender goes to college to get more knowledge, and which goes to Jupiter to get more stupider. in this essay i will...

Was not prepared for Grindr being an answer on jeopardy

I’m tired of cis people being fucking cowards

The Renee Richards factoid that keeps poking my brain, is that the guy who outed her as trans, who previously outed Elizabeth Carmichael as trans, was Dick Carlson - Tucker's dad. I guess transphobia runs in the family. (Link to Dick Carlson's obit which briefly recounts the above) archive.ph/obLAU

Why do I feel visceral loathing when I see this and hear them speak?

How about no?

Starting to put together year end lists and while I dont have a top album of the year yet, I have a bottom though. Life of a showgirl is by far the worst of what I've heard.

@danielleradford.bsky.social hey nice meeting you last night! Here's the link to the pink pony club shirt I was wearing. www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/6410...

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC. Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.

sounds like the FBI is running out of KA$H

The bobs burgers thanksgiving episodes are just pure comfort well most of them. Looking at you Gayle making bobsled

Despite Trump’s talk about reshoring manufacturing, there are now 59,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than there were in April when Trump promised to boost US manufacturing.

I’m going to say this is probably not what the DOJ attorneys were hoping for

These are police state tactics.

The most upsetting post anyone can make in 2025: Nuance Seriously the internet is so zero sum now there’s no allowance for nuance in any discussion.

The United States government has ordered its employees not to speak at any events for World AIDS Day or promote them on social media. I guess they think that if we ignore HIV/AIDS it will just go away. It didn’t work for Reagan and it’s not going to work now.

Man U losing to Everton after Everton went down to ten men after an internal fight is a new hell that I don’t think Tottenham has ever been to.

Brandon Nimmo is the first millionaire to flee Zohran Mamdani's Communist New York City

1:30 am seems the perfect time to consciously listen to Klaus Nomi for the first time.

I’m a big fan of one hit wonders or what we call one hit wonders a lot of the time because their hit was a hit for a reason. Spirit in the sky just fucking bangs hard. That guitar is amazing. Do I want to listen to any other Norman Greenbaum? Nah bc nothing will be as good as that song.

Brenda Russell wrote Piano in the Dark and the Color Purple musical. Great song and a great musical. That’s what I learned tonight.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

Soon as I saw the news I knew I needed to do this.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Havarti makes me Havafarti

I feel like Marty must be close to stopping Biff and resetting this 1985 dark timeline given everything in the last few months.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

I love Elsbeth This show is so fun.
