I prefer this version of tactical Santa, thank you very much

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

America desperately needs opposition politicians running on a platform of tribunals, truth & reconciliation committees, and severe punishment for the worst offenders in this administration.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

I think that's right but you also have to address ideology, or risk a missing major driver here

Mark Goldbridge becoming one of the most sensible pundits on the EPL was not on my 2025 bingo card www.instagram.com/reel/DSiNWgw...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Manufactured Inevitability is such a fitting term from @lmsacasas.bsky.social for the push for generative AI. It could describe every Axios AM or LinkedIn influencer in my feed

This paraphrase of 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in Playbook is really the thing: “declining to air a story because the administration wouldn’t comment for it amounted to handing the state a veto on journalism”

But you do have to apologize for having mixed-race children if you want to be a viable GOP presidential contender.

Oh no

The last thing Senate Dems should do is support popular bipartisan work in the House, or else voters might get the impression that they stand for something

Popularism means telling politicians to craft their message for an incredibly specific guy I just made up

Grealish follows up his racist words on Saka with a stamp on Saka. Classy

Cristian Romero is an embarrassment man. Never once plays with his head on.

Phenomenal set up by VVD for Richarlison there

That tackle from VdV on Isak was really nasty. A scissor channeled, late & then rolling through Isak’s ankle. It’s never punished but that’s deep orange for me.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Boxing ain’t even my thing; I just love consequences.

Newcastle really made an error sending out Man United’s midfield for the second half

James only gets to the ball because he’s shoved Barnes away from it

Another yellow card for Maresca. Arteta’s antics have truly ruined the game

I thought making no attempt to play the ball was a penalty?

Trump take bourbon

While at lunch today I had a thought that the next Democratic Presidential nominee should sell branded chisels as merch. A real national healing opportunity. So many mismatched fonts to be corrected.

This is just so wildly irresponsible and grossly misleading “journalism” @nytimes.com

For the record, the law states that "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

I would include among such provisions, prohibitions on pardons for: - immediate family members - donors to any of the president's presidential campaigns or affiliated super PACs - persons who carried out illegal executive branch orders - persons prosecuted on cases which relate to the president

Then he will use his unlimited pardon power to render them unaccountable. A pardon power a previous Supreme Court ruled is not subjected to congressional control. Any democratic reform effort must include a constitutional amendment with provisions which restrict presidential pardon powers.

This is both laughably illegal & politically untenable. Just extends the Epstein story further into the future

the number one requirement for the next Dem president is that they are willing to look back with a flamethrower

Folks, @coheedandcambria.bsky.social just dropped a new music video & it includes Santa blowing up Trump's Epstein ballroom & saving a kid from ICE www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4T6...

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social with a 2026 prediction that would usher in some immaculate vibes

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

Tearing down everything Trump builds or renames after himself is going to be a requirement for catharsis and political rejuvenation.

With all the talk of City charges maybe finally getting resolved, it makes me think the four most exciting words in the English language could be “Erling Haaland relegation clause”

We are about to get a real life version of Sideshow Bob saying, "No that's German for 'The Bart, The'"

If the next president can take down these plaques then surely they can take down the Epstein Ballroom

Live a life that makes Trump attack you when you die. Rob Reiner was creative, generous, and intelligent; all things a stupid petty narcissist conman finds threatening. Rob left a lasting legacy. Trump will leave nothing when he dies, just a gold plated gravestone people will only visit to piss on

I’m torn because “caught stealing” is absolutely terrible but I should have a Cherry Tavern tshirt

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Trump put tariffs on Brazil and sanctions on a Brazilian judge to try to stop ex-President Jair Bolsonaro’s trial on coup charges. Five months later, the most threatening of the tariffs are gone, the sanctions have been lifted, and Bolsonaro is behind bars. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
