"We have to make redactions to protect witnesses" ... Also bad actors already got access to the private DOJ website with all the witness information?

The big day has arrived! The day I post the Adama Maneuver again. Next time: 2026 🫡

"Kavanaugh Stop" went from a skeet on here to Bluesky meme to crosspollinating over on X to Brett Kavanaugh's burner account seeing it there to a whiny defensive footnote about it in a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. Juice.

Chaotic Evil with Int as a dump stat. Really not that hard for any DnD fan to imagine.

I forget when but at some point I learned that the three wise men’s gifts are supposed to be prophetic: gold for kings, frankincense, which was burned in the temple, for divinity, and myrrh—a tree resin used in embalming—for death.

Family Movie for Xxxmas

The cat had enough vet bills this year to warrant us getting a signed card from the office. I'm glad this little guy is still here; he's basically my heart cat. Gave us quite the scare.

Whatever you imagined in your mind about the Files, the reality is a million times worse.

Bari Weiss puts the "BS" in "CBS"

A ruling with an unchecked iron fist, is the actual definition of an authoritarian.

you younger millenials and zoomers and below might not want to read this so consider this a trigger warning Ok if you are still reading I am going to make a white trash tuna noodle casserole with peas and a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup and those crispy onion strips on top

You know “Rule 3: Nothing ever stops until a Rich White Guy goes to jail”, was meant for a different context, but it absolutely applies to all these government agents. These people are violating court orders. An unenforced law is not a law.

Having taken my last meeting of the year, I have declared an emergency Little Cat Nap Time. The little cat has been informed and was last seen tunneling under the blankets. Goodnight to the little cat under the blankets. Goodnight to everyone

There should be a a class taught in high school where all you do over the entire year is learn how to identify birds by their call and what to feed them. It would save us all so much time forty years later. Might as well throw in dog poop bag/kitty litter tricks and hacks, too

I’ll take immigrants over pederasts any day.

Trans instructor: “you didn’t do this assignment” Supervising professor: “she didn’t do the assignment” Student: “I didn’t do the assignment” University: “isn’t there someone you forgot to ask” some days I just want to scream and scream

So in the UK, they'll arrest you for supporting Palestine, and now we find they'll also arrest you for supporting those who support Palestine. If you hold a Free Greta sign, will they arrest you for supporting someone who supports those who support Palestine? British Matryoshka doll-ass fascism.

Restoring Bivens rights: one bill "would allow citizens to sue for damages resulting from constitutional violations committed by federal officers," while the other "would create a cause of action against federal law enforcement agencies and police depts for constitutional violations."

Sculptor Steven Weitzman placed books under the floorboards of the Barbara Johns statue's self-base (dedicated last week in The Capitol Building) with titles from prominent African American scholars and authors to signify materials the students were missing in their classrooms. 🗃️

The best lack all conviction, while the worst Whose woods these are I think I know As I sing the body electric Where two roads diverge in a yellow wood next to of course god america i Daddy, Daddy, you bastard, I'm through

When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did they smile, their words to see? Did they who made The Rat make thee?

Gyre, gyre, burning flight Above the desert in the night What immortal hand or eye Could tame thy fearful agility? In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what talons dare aspire? What the prey, sought in the briar?

Prufrock is difficult. I grow old…I grow old… That rough beast’s hour is foretold. Shall I take up falconry? Do I dare the goshawk’s screech? I shall wear thick leather gloves and walk along the beach I have seen the falcon’s gyre widen out of reach I do not think mine will return to me.

Character idea: Monster created via urban legends but slowly generations changed it from a crazed killer to a vengeful protector. Plot twist: Someone wants to release a movie about it being a killer again and it's desperately trying to stop it. It doesn't want to be a killer again.

They are so, so, so incompetent

I am SO deeply honored that the great @chriseliopoulos.com does these each year. He also forgoes his Guest Artist payment, donating it to charity. I match that, and wait until the Gay Straight Alliance for Safe Schools has another match day. So this year, Chris’ elves will raise $2,400 for them!

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Happy Holidays everyone. Wishing you all the best in the rest of 2025 and heading into 2026!

I found the original deck plans and purchase order for the HMS Bounty that had been misfiled and "lost", which wasn't even the thing I was looking for.
