I know there’s so much going on, but this WB/Netflix news is hitting me hard. The company that made Casablanca is gonna be owned by goons who have an allergy to streaming anything made before 2005 and who’d sooner die before they call it a movie instead of “content.”

Same energy

Frank Gehry’s buildings have surprised and delighted me everywhere I’ve found them. A few memorable ones for me are the Experience Music Project in Seattle, the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis and his temporary Serpentine Gallery in London (2008). Gift link: wapo.st/48pn2K8

The way I gasped y'all

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

NEW: Kristi Noem, Todd Blanche, and Joseph Mazzara identify themselves (and now-judge Emil Bove) as the decision-makers involved in directing deportation flights to El Salvador despite Judge Boasberg's order. Their declarations are otherwise substance-free. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69741...

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”

“Trump invited Infantino to attend the Summit for Peace in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, where Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire agreement that Israel regularly violates. Infantino was the only sports official at the event. He had no political role.”

A thread on obscenity. I'll get back to these cars. But first: tonight I took my 12yrold to see Nuremberg. He's a pretty serious movie watcher. Thought Zone of Interest was genius. I knew he could handle this. But this isn't a movie review. It's about IRL... 1/

Who knew this would turn out to be accurate?

Good lord

I also sent a letter to U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino outlining my concerns. Read the letter: troycarter.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY SECOND LOVE, RESTORED

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else. So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Happy Krampusnacht! As a special treat we have put together a NINE HOUR KRAMPUS THEMED STOPMOTION YULE LOG! It’s packed with different audio surprises just to celebrate the festive holidays so you can play it all month long, preferably on loop youtu.be/hI6yiZnoas4?...

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

I am undoubtedly at risk of having too much of my worldview based on The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but so much of the corporate world's rationale for its heedless destruction sounds to me like "It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses."

MY FAVORITE ESSAYIST RETURNS FROM WAR

Toppenish High School student Nashua and many others are working to increase FAFSA application rates in our state. That’s good news for Washington students who could have their tuition fully paid for if they fill out the FAFSA.

Sounds like a job for the…

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy. His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY. Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

They have trapped all of us in their drug and sex cult. And we really are ruled by just this - their drug delusions and their sexual predation. In case it isn’t clear.

Ok, we’re kind of drifting back into ‘Vixen-territory’ with ‘Cupid.’ Cupid | noun | the Roman god of erotic love Ho-ho-hold on a minute...

Lastly, we get to ‘Donner’ and ‘Blitzen.’ ‘Donner’ was originally ‘Donder,’ which is Standard Dutch meaning “thunder.” ‘Blitzen’ comes from the Standard Dutch ‘bliksem,’ which means “lightning.” We've always thought these two were the bad boys of the sleigh.

comet | noun | a celestial body that appears as a fuzzy head usually surrounding a bright nucleus, that has a usually highly eccentric orbit, that consists primarily of ice and dust, and that often develops one or more long tails when near the sun Both fly... so sure, why not?

Now, we get to ‘Vixen.’ ‘Vixen’ is a noun and has 3 senses: 1. a female fox 2. a shrewish, ill-tempered woman 3. a sexually attractive woman Ummm, what’s going on here, Santa?

Rudolph gets all the love, so let’s talk about the names of Santa’s other reindeer. dasher | noun | one that dashes dancer | noun | one that dances prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner Ok, those three are easy to understand. 🧵⬇️

#%!? Duke Energy. Always with them.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

A trilogy of suspenseful murder mystery detective novellas set in Jupiter's atmosphere, after something destroys life on Earth. There's academic shenanigans, terrorism, endangered species theft, mass disappearances, a journey to Io, and the fate of the Earth at stake.

The right wing hacks who have no harsh words for neo Nazi Nick Fuentes or men who rape girls are big mad at me for calling out white supremacists and their loser ideology and narrative. Hit dogs holler. www.megynkelly.com/watch/megyn-...

what the fucking fuck FUCK

A great example of why you should never write off Staten Island: ICE agents’ tires were slashed while staging to disappear New Yorkers. The agent in the video isn’t fully visible but looks like Brendan Cuni. If so and this is his vehicle, he swapped license plates to avoid detection.

Come for the corvid and stay for the quote posts, lol.

Awww, man. RIP. deadline.com/2025/12/cary...

2. bijoucandles.com my most gifted candles. all of them are based on women from pop culture, often in sets. the Golden Girls, the "Charmed" sisters, Romy & Michele, etc, but also grouped by vibe/era (Stevie/Dolly/Cher, Billie/Ella/Sarah, etc. collections rotate often and things sell out fast

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Truly the stupidest cult. Obsessed with a drug that doesn't work against an infectious disease that they don't even think is real.

“‘I’m a US citizen, please help me,’ she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. ‘Why are you doing this to me?’” Trump’s secret police have detained nearly 200 US citizens this year. This is illegal and it’s a danger to our democracy. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

I said this would be the Republican justices play. Let Texas use the racist maps now. Later they’ll say it’s “too late” to change them.

This is what happens when you let Belgian bankers decide a grave global security matter.

Let’s check in on how things are going for DOJ in Chicago (now that I’m back from Chicago and in DC again) … [Ellis is the judge in the protesters/press case, and they’re currently discussing dismissing the case.]

Tax the snot out of them.

This is great news that Roman Space Telescope 🚀🔭 is functionally completed! Still some testing, and then Roman will move the Kennedy to be mated with the launch vehicle. Roman is a wide-field Hubble - exciting!

Do these guys ever bother to listen to themselves? Yeah, that's exactly what pardoning the 1600 J6 rioters show.
