seeing gorillaz in 52 day so things can't be that bad, right?

Far-right people have been indulging in nostalgia slop propaganda for a long time; AI just makes it much easier for the average person to create images of these imagined pasts and the range of time periods people on the Right are nostalgic for is vast (Ancient Rome all the way to the early 2000s)

Amazing how many of our problems boil down to “I’m not young anymore so you must die.”

I want to make something clear: Yes, she's formerly of the Blue Man Group you're thinking of. Eminently qualified for the role she's being appointed to, but also, yes, the Blue Man Group too.

fuck yeah! (see profile photo)

shout out to the guy eating pancakes in the Charlie XCX Boys music video. you've been in my brain for years.

Never gets old.

speaking of focus on 3D attractions, I think Fallon has the best 3D of any of them (which is unfortuante ya know)

Um, Monsters Unchained would like a word. Also, personally, would rather do Mine Cart Madness than FoP

“DHS pauses immigration applications for an additional 20 countries” “The list, which is composed mostly of countries in Africa, includes Angola, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.” www.npr.org/2026/01/02/g...

circling back to the drinks discussion from earlier, one bottle of prosseco counts for one drink, right?

reminder that Michelangelo is a minor at Mar-a-Lago you'd be making that face, too, if you were him

The Philippine Airlines preflight video is a whole telenovela. 🤣

the fact that they *gave her a medal* is honestly the most hilariously galling thing I've learned about Russia's ratfucking in a long while. credit where it's due because MY GOD, they are the world champions at this bullshit lolol. THEY GAVE HER A FUCKING MEDAIL!!

After receiving a commendation for exceptional services to the Russian state from President Putin, Biden accuser Tara Reade—seen here in her luxury Moscow condo—has now become a citizen of the Russian Federation... молодец!

laughing my god damn ass off at this

Bari Weiss unnecessarily saying CBS News “loves America” just makes me think of Gob here.

Sharing so we acknowledge those fighting to #FreeIran. 🕯️ Via @peacecomms - At least eight people have been killed and dozens injured by security forces during protests across multiple cities in Iran. 🧵

"Epic doesn't have any top tier attractions like Flight of Passage" let me stop you right there, we're in the year of our lord 2026 we don't need to pretend FoP is "top tier" anymore

she cannot help herself from putting her dumbass brand on every single thing she fucking touches and has never met a story that isn't, at least, in part, about bari weiss — when a bulb burns out in her luxurious home, she simply holds up the new one and waits for the world to revolve around her.

god, i hate this Bold statement. Second bold statement. approach to writing that bari weiss has, it's incredibly pretentious and self aggrandizing without actually saying much of importance, and it's all over everything she touches.

live laugh love

One of my favorite facts was that COVID hurt accuracy of weather predictions. We use sensors on commercial plane flights to gather info about the weather. Less flight = less data But theoretically we're past that point. Why does it feel so inaccurate still? Even before doge.

X is good for one thing, and that’s for identifying people who are comfortable with naziism and the generation of child sexual abuse material.

NYT returns to character assassination. Note the framing, which implies Mandani targeted Israel exec orders when in fact, it was all orders after Adam’s was hopelessly compromised by indictment and bending a knee to the Trump admin. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/n...

There’s a newly AKC-recognized breed in town! Did you know the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is also known as the Fawn-Colored Brittany Basset? #MyAKC #BassetFauveDeBretagne #DogsOfBlueSky

So Lincoln, Marx, and Saigō Takamori walk into a bar…

This is your reminder that: a) Marx supported the Union b) August Willich (union communist general) thought Marx was too reactionary and challenged Marx to a duel

The pope's motto is "In illo Uno unum" (in the One, we are one)

The wild thing is that a fair number of fascists & other reactionaries have almost the exact same reaction

I grasp that the ChatGPT baby name discourse has (correctly) already gotten to “this is a pretty rational way to use LLMs, as they go” but I’m not deleting my riffs, damn it, the eight people who have any idea what I’m talking about know me well enough to know I’m not mad in real life here

It is wild how Walt's whole career is built off like two articles and a book in the early 90s; all about European alliances. Like, when people who do political *science* talk about the problems with grand theory, they're talking about people like him.

This comparison is genuinely a great indicator of the corrosive influence of social media and how chasing a (manipulated) in-group approval leads to thoughts like this.

If you want to support Zohran, it seems like the best way to do that as an individual is to amplify whatever’s actually happening as a counter narrative to what’s inevitably going to be made up. Showing him acting like a regular guy undercuts the narratives being built around him.

The biggest hazard for Zohran is likely to be something he has no control over - a media environment where anyone can make claims about what he said or did that aren’t reflective of reality and are accepted both by enemies and allies. This is clearly fake and muddles the information environment.

“Why should pilots be the only ones with input as to how to fly the plane?”

Getting WWKD wristbands in green

Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor. Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️ The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly. It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

I like podcasts.

community meme but it's "I can excuse the CSAM but I draw the line at Trump being a pedophile"

Mamdani really did just describe exactly a guy like him and his job and they can’t process it like Rumpelstiltskin being told his name no issue
