A protestor kicking out your taillight? A professional law enforcement officer just drives away. A incompetent bully seizes an opportunity for more violence. Stephen Miller's goon squad must be abolished. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Compare Dokoupil's junk food for Boomers, to Stephen Colbert's Monday monologue, a comprehensive overview of the Alex Pretti shooting. Colbert got axed by the same network for this kind of commentary.

Tough call but I'm gonna pass on the Sugar reunion for three reasons: bobmould.com/news/sugar-r...

Measure a man by the number of active group text threads he has going while his team is in the AFC Championship Game AND there's a major snowstorm going on.

Wow HAMNET is an amazing movie

OSCARS THREAD Embarrassing that F1: The Movie is up for Best Picture! Is this what we expanded the category to 10 movies for? My review is notable for a lack of praise or criticism: A professionally-made movie is the most I can say about it: stubhubby.blogspot.com/2025/07/f1.h...

I'm not an avid fervent football fan, and I don't understand how a team would give their backup QB zero real game experience if the role is so crucial and they have Super Bowl aspirations? Shouldn't the Broncos coaches be embarrassed to be in this pickle?

Did you ever visualize a fictional location in your mind, only to discover later you had it wrong? I've been reading Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe novels for many years, and only just now I've learned Wolfe's brownstone is on the *south* side of 35th St?! 🙃🙃🙃 MORE...

I would tell that someone "if you think 1/2 their potential customers support ICE, you are kidding yourself." First mistake of politics in modern America is assuming we're divided down the middle. We're not - on most issues we're divided 70 blue / 30 red, at the most.

How would you categorize my 1980s teenage cultural identity if I loved boobs, but also love singing Madonna and Frankie Goes to Hollywood songs at top volume? Style inspo below, for reference:

Repost this with your home river. Childhood - the Ipswich Today - the Housatonic

Thank you Youtube algorithm for this majestic suggestion 🤣 m.youtube.com/watch?v=sKZT...

"It's been 52 years...why, today's the anniversary!" In Memoriam. "Large" Marge died today, in 1974.

The algorithm that enables Google Photos to curate an adorable collage of your kids from thousands of snapshots is the same tool that enables the Terminator to identify John Connor

Total Curb situation in line at the UPS Store counter: just as I step up for my turn, a Boomer lady cuts in front of me and says to me "I just have a question." Not asking. Not apologizing. Telling me. I looked her in the eye "No, sorry, I will only be a moment"...more

Next year at CES I'm going to introduce my invention: a magic bucket you put your dirty laundry in. Just press a couple of buttons, and an hour later all of your clothes are clean.

New Nintendo Switch from Santa this Christmas? Stock up on used games on my eBay while supplies last! www.ebay.com/usr/l.b.jeff...

I don't like the death squads

In the video I watched, even IF she were trying to hit him, AND the vehicle wheels were pointed at him (they weren't), the safest response for him (and her) would have been running away...instead they're trained to shoot to kill, to protect themselves no matter what.

In a perfect world, ICE would endeavor to arrest people who are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, putting their safety after the public. Instead, we have a force of Judge Dredds, escalating encounters with the public, trained to shoot to kill before their own lives are endangered.

Ken Burns The American Revolution 🇺🇸 is excellent. In the postlog, American history 1784-2025 is summed up in a few minutes. It's hard to imagine such a serious, somber tone to this finale if it had been produced pre-2016. www.pbs.org/kenburns/the...

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet

I went to the theater 15 times in 2025, tied for 4th-lowest (non pandemic) tally in 30+ years. Three of my favorite directors put out new movies, and all three of their films were gone from cinemas before I had a chance to see them on the big screen: stubhubby.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025...

To paraphrase Charlie Brown "I know I'm an average white guy, I just don't know why they have to make a meme to remind me of it".

Sick of people describing stuff that happened after 2000 as "a long time ago". Meeting your best friend in 2004 is not "a long time ago". Don't talk to me about "a long time ago" unless it starts with a 19

Listening to a mix tape I made in 1992. Songs I keep turning the volume up and up and up on: 🤖 "The Body Electric" RUSH 🎸 "Love Will Find A Way" YES I guess my love language is 70s prog-rock bands...adapting to 1980s rock music trends...and kicking ass doing it stubhubby.blogspot.com/1992/07/n-3r...

30 years ago my girlfriend's stepfather pointed at this car and asked "why is every car shaped like a lima bean now?" Not only was he right, but unfortunately, we as a nation have never looked back.

Meme NEWS: my 10 year-old niece tells me "six seven" is over. There's a "meme reset" for 2026. So this week will be full of "cringe memes" because they won't use them anymore after 2025.

This is what Ebenezer Scrooge meant when he said Christmas is a "humbug": "You can have your concerned and wonderful dinner, with your cool friends and the real popcorn on the tree, cranberry and everything; send Christmas cards to each other on recycled paper - it's a crock, James...it's for kids."

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

How about an Alan Rickman #Christmas Movie Festival: Die Hard Love Actually The Order Of The Phoenix (part of) Truly Madly Deeply ...any others?

"It's a really fun movie about a kid who really wants a BB gun, but doesn't get it until the end, and then he shoots himself." My son describing A #CHRISTMAS STORY to his little brother

The coronation of Charlemagne as "Emperor of the Romans" by Pope Leo III on #Christmas Day AD 800 at Rome's Old St. Peter's Basilica was celebrated by broadcasting #AChristmasStory for 24 hours in a row.

I want to research and write an article "The Best Rock Bands That Have Never Released A Christmas Record", so somebody pay me and I'll have it for you in 11 months

How about a Mary Ellen Trainor #Christmas Movie Festival? Die Hard Scrooged Lethal Weapon ...any others?

"Santa Claus Is Comin To Town" is the perfect song for Frank Sinatra to sing because it's the most vindictive and petty #Christmas tune

That lady that won't pay Ma Otter until the week AFTER Christmas is the problem with America

Best Days For #Christmas, Ranked: Best: Friday 2nd: Thursday 3rd: Monday 4th: Tuesday 5th: Wednesday 6th: Saturday Worst: Sunday DISCUSS

"You're A Mean One, Mister Grinch" is NOT a Christmas song. Imagine hearing this song on the radio between "Little Drummer Boy" and "Jingle Bells" but you know nothing about the Dr Seuss character?

I am reminded of a 30 ROCK joke where Jenna receives terrible news from an Access Hollywood piece that ends with "...and here's a photo of Ms Maroney on a windy day"

All I want for Christmas is for the Holderness Family to make funny videos that don't try so hard. I can only take so much strident singing at 11 while mugging for the camera, no matter how funny they are. Try underplaying it for a change!

My Internet: ✅️Drunk and stupid people giving themselves concussions; ✅️Animal videos with funny voices dubbed over the top; ✅️Celebrities doing impressions of other celebrities; ✅️Vintage cars that would be expensive to buy and maintain; ✅️AMSR powerwashing filthy stuff, clearcutting overgrown yards

This red spot appeared on the side of my thumb this morning, and I spent all day looking at it, running out of theories, ready to start thinking about cancer, before I finally remembered I played guitar without a pick for an hour last night

Adding another Christmas Carol movie adaptation to my collection. The 1970 musical version SCROOGE, starring Albert Finney. I have low expectations. It starts off with street urchins singing Christmas carols with the least convincing urchin filth, teeth, and haircuts of any Christmas Carol movie.

Speaking as a fellow big white guy from the North Shore (he's from Marblehead, I'm from Boxford) I second this motion. And also, white guys have been running the entire culture for too long, we've got nothing left to offer. Non-white men are more interesting!

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. The good news is, lots of Nazis die, and God gets the last word, in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK...

The copyright warning at the end of my Christmas Carol Blu-ray has some very specific language: "The definition of home use excludes the use of this disc at locations such as clubs, coaches, hospitals, hotels, oil rigs, prisons and schools..."
