DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

Ahaha Cher is a legend Announce an award? Nah, I'm just gonna walk off the stage, bye

Not even close, this is the best In Memoriam segment the Grammys have ever done. Reba's voice has so much warmth, so much love and joy, and that's perfect for this.

/Yeah/ Billie

Okay Trevor Noah coaxing a performance out of Bad Bunny is killing me

Full Bad Bunny speech

I will always remember The Man Show, where Jimmy Kimmel got his hosting start, having a countdown to the day Britney Spears turned 18, and one guest waxing lustful about wanting to be the Cosmo magazine she took to the toilet to read while she took a shit. This would be around 1999.

Okay. Now that I've made it through January with a few too many... Let's aim for making it through the rest of 2026 with no more funerals /that/ /I/ /personally/ /have/ /to/ /attend/ /for/ /friends/ /and/ /family/, please. My sympathies, of course, for those who still have some to come.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My parents got to go out and greet the monks!! So pleased for them (and also a little jealous).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"We should do nothing until we retake the presidency" is not, in fact, a good strategy guys

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

The union that represents CBP agents calling for Noem and Miller to step down or be fired. A Catholic Cardinal calling for Congress to defund ICE. Yes and yes.

My script: Hi, [Name]. I am your constituent in zip code XXXXX. I vote, I'm a poll worker, and I donate. I am counting on you to oppose any appropriations bill that funds ICE or maintains ICE funding. I expect you to support legislation that withdraws any funding for ICE, particularly...

God I wish we had someone with a spine in charge of the Dems right now

This. This is the kind of thing we should be seeing more of. Defund ICE? Great. Good start. But this is the better move. We know ICE has recruited heavily from law enforcement. We can assume that they've pulled in some of the worst. We need to ensure that...

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. I'm covering the proceedings remotely. From the state's memo: buff.ly/ub2bHso

Don’t dress avoidance up as holiness 🔥🔥🔥

Everything is taking me so much longer as I pause to take in the horrors My children I am so sorry for my distance for missing the sweet, fleeting moments There are just so many horrors

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

The package with ICE funding will be in the Senate this week and will need Democratic votes to advance.

I’m logging off I will absolutely not risk watching this but if you must stay turn off your video autoplay IMMEDIATELY

I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.

This is fucking flawless and I just sent this to basically everyone I know

NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE. PERIOD. FULL STOP. HELL NO. PUT THE MONEY INTO HEALTH CARE SUBSIDIES.

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

bsky.app/profile/404m... Speaking in our role as the ultimate arbiters of eliteness, CULT OF THE DEAD COW would like to express that far from being "elite", the Palantir app, and anyone/anything that supports the gestapo, are K-Lame R0dentz who must be crushed by any means necessary.

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

Since ChatGPT came out in late 2022, over *half a million* tech workers have been laid off. That fact, and their voices, aren't really shaping the conversation about AI, and what "AI" really means in culture. So I started to get into it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/06/5...

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Story time. In Vegas, you can rent a supercar for a day. Not for on a track, just to drive around. So once, I rented a Ferrari and spent the day driving. Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, all the places you might want to go from Vegas, just really /really/ enjoying the drive, you know? Anyway...
