The entire neighborhood has decided to get leaf blowers out this morning.

Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/12/17/w...

Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in a holiday humor, and like enough to consent.

Making myself some biscuits.

hello 911 there's someone on my roof

A reminder that Stephen Miller is a full blown fascist, that 4 of Trump’s 5 kids are children of immigrants, that what he really means is brown people are a problem for him, and that Miller’s own uncle denounced him as a bigot and hypocrite.

UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight. Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

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

Holy shit!

I just watched “Anniversary” 😑

I'm old enough to remember this shit.

Babies die of whooping cough in several states; third-trimester vaccines could protect them www.tpr.org/bioscience-m...

Horrifying. JFC

Fucking hell

Weighed out and portioned an expensive Costco pack of ground beef into several 1.5 lb packages and got them into the freezer. #doingshit

Accomplished a couple of items on the to-do list! Microwave was embarrassingly filthy, is now clean. Property taxes needed paying so that is done—and I got my hands on some good pecans and roasted them. #doingshit

I was told that the war in Ukraine would end on day one.

College journalism strikes again www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Justice Alito seems to have missed that the government's account of the Marimar Martinez shooting has been completely discredited.

It's a goddamn beautiful day

Merry Christmas, Chi

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

Only the finest MAGA people

Trump said today: "The US Navy will lead the design of these ships along with me, because I'm a very aesthetic person" His design reinforces how much of a laughingstock of the world the US has become. 😅

Welllllp, my bff has COVID. He's the Christmas chef (and vaccinated, thank Goodness), so no Christmas dinner this week. Damned virus.

i’ll just say that this isn’t the behavior of people who think their allies are on the verge of establishing a thousand year reich, much less holding control of the national legislature next year

Stupid fuck.

Complete insanity.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

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.

Wait… polygraphs?

😹

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Editor Brian Lyman writes that no one should be dismissive of Tommy Tuberville's recent threats against Muslims in Alabama, as he has made it clear he views many people living here as threats simply because of who they are. https://ow.ly/smLj50XMOls

Welcome to 60 Minutes. Our top story tonight is Snakes: Nature’s Spaghetti

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Hooo Lordy. 👀

we're talking general hospital levels of script writing.

🚨 Andrew Tate has been BATTERED and comprehensively beaten by a novice boxer, Chase DeMoor

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

And so our long climb out of the darkness descends, as the year turns and the night recedes.

Seeing both Jake Paul AND Andrew Tate getting rocked within a 24 hour period is the Christmas gift we all deserved

Outstanding news! www.fastcompany.com/91461983/ind...
