It's that time of year when people start to dissect the lyrics of Baby, It's Cold Outside, and younger people are often confused by the context. See, before the Boomers wrecked the environment, there used to be this stuff called snow in December, and the weather was frequently cold outside...

The early Twentieth Century was a lawless culinary wasteland.

Here’s a thread for anyone who wants to help buy gifts this year for trans kids in need this year Please share!! Every year I use my social media accounts to collect money for kids’ Transanta wishlists When we pool our money it goes far — we’ve bought ~$17,000 worth of gifts since 2022

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. A magical thing And sweet to remember. "We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,” I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. Oliver Herford

Bear in mind when arguing online that you’re often arguing with people whose entire education constitutes children’s cartoons, video essays about children’s cartoons and the TV Tropes pages of children’s cartoons

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

Happy Solstice

Don’t forget to leave a group of twenty-somethings out for your local folk horror this solstice.

BUT BLACK DYNAMITE, I ENGAGE IN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING

Jakub Różalski’s masterpiece “Snitching Kid.”

On vacation until January 5th. I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the car in the near future but barring that I plan on doing as little productive as possible.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Cisgender women who don’t meet conventional standards of feminine presentation are going to account for the vast majority of these reports. This will not end well.

Oh….that CBT. Nevermind.

The harsh fluorescent lights of an office cubicle really accentuates the amount of cat hair clinging to your clothes.

WHAT IS CHARLOTTE’S WEEB??

Empanada vending machine‽ I need to get my ass to Albuquerque ASAP.

Oh

This looks like an Adam West era Batman villain and his two henchmen.

That pick was totally unexpected and totally threw off my diocese brackets. No way I’m going to win my fantasy league now.

It’s not the holiday season until the Hater’s Guide drops.

"Well, here comes the future and you can't run from it / If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it" --Billy Bragg, "Waiting For the Great Leap Forwards" abovethelaw.com/2025/12/ice-...

To be fair, Trot texts already read like they were shit out by some LLM, but now for just $5 you can have WSWS’s AI version of Lenin give you a passionate defense of how Roman Polanski did nothing wrong in the style of What Is To Be Done?, so there’s that.

Oh for fuck's sake, "Socialism AI" was the best they could come up with? When "CheGPT" was sitting right there??

every problem with prequels in a nutshell

“You can’t really dust for vomit.”

Season 3 of One Punch Man is painful. Zombie Man had two fights completely off camera, the last one just a still shot of a closed door and 1960s era Batman word noises on screen. The animation quality is garbage.

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

The BSG rebooted started strong but should have ended on the mud planet as it eventually just ended up as a net full of holes so big you could fly the Galactica through them. Starbuck is I guess some sort of angel now? WTF. The Cylons were one of the better parts. Anyhow, Tim Nichols is a dumbass.

False. Family separation predates Trump. DHS documented thousands of separations under Obama via Secure Communities and Operation Streamline. 2014 saw over 68000 unaccompanied minors detained. You were ignorant of it then because it was democrats doing it and that doesn't concern you.

Feeling festive. 🎅🏼

This was at North Station a couple years ago

The attention demander #caturday

Schumer would gladly trade fascism in the US for genocide in Gaza and regime change everywhere with oil

> The agent, who’s assigned to another HSI office and is in Minnesota on “temporary detail for an operation,” is unfamiliar with the Twin Cities, did not know where they were going, and “was in fear that he was being abducted.” Poor guy got abducted while on his abduction shift. Can't make me care.

“Those of us on the left…” Sorry, who the fuck are you again?

Cali, you’ve got to primary this quisling motherfucker.

Katherine Clark, Seth Moulton, Richard Neal, and Lori Trahan voted yes. All of them like the idea of Trump having this money to spend on war. #Massachusetts #mapoli

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

You do realize all the bad things are bipartisan? Right? You picking up on that?
