It used to be pretty obvious that we need to have and enforce rules against this sort of abuse of official position/informatoon.

We gotta get after Antarctica too bitches stole our ice.

“It’s a political win with Hispanic voters.” Be pretty surprised if that holds up.

Happy 66th Birthday to Michael Stipe of R.E.M. …. And Bad Habits! @michaelstipe.bsky.social youtu.be/D_1_nZaUSXE

My greatest parenting moment ever: Kiddo in back seat Hubs driving off 20 towards 78 to Athens, before they rerouted that section. Kiddo, "What are those orange balls?" Hubs & I, in unison,"Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged." Then we high fived each other.

When social media works and is fun.

Today I saw something very special: there are just 12 populations of this exceptionally rare desert bulb (Colchicum psammophilum) and only it flowers for a short time after winter rain. To find it in bloom is miraculous.

This arrangement always makes me a bit nervous that Santa's haul is going to brain our pup in the middle of the night as she's sleeping.

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

Incredible thread, the best of delivering reality via the internet.

“we”

Happy fucking Christmas, lads. If we ever get another saviour born to bring peace and joy to the world, let's not nail that one to a cross.

It’s times like these we need Kevin Drum to check the keening on the Manhattan Correctional Facility’s pencils.

Ben Sasse was far from a perfect Senator but he voted to impeach Trump, which means that he was one of the very few Republicans who did the right thing when the lights were brightest.

A small thing, but it’s like he never read Enemy of the People . . .

"what about charged?" omfg

Strummer's untimely passing is a reminder he never lived long enough to see himself become a villain, like a lot of the punk scene stalwarts have. as a older lad, i prefer his gentler touch of Mesacaleros, with this been a standout and interesting cover of another music great.

The Dublin Airport feed of people coming home for Christmas gives me life. And love.

Sorry to miss #DRBC but listening to 78 year old Patti Smith belt out Power to the People and Because the Night in the Lincoln Theater was worth it. WOW. And what stories from Bread of Angels. #pattismith

The internet sucks now because everything needs to result in the maximal outcome so instead of seeing the Coldplay couple and going “lol pretty funny” we end up with this, everything is Qanon, everything is the Inquisition, when the fun of it should be “well, never have to think about this again!”

So now I am dying for it to happen but also i don't want it to happen until he sees the @#$!^&! Kennedy Center renamed. Dilemmas!

👏👏

I can't handle the truth.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Fighting words.

went to bed with a mass shooting, waking up with a different mass shooting

There are a lot of things that make me mad. Like. A long list. But fake AI videos of wild animals doing cute things that animals do in fact do, make me so unreasonably mad. Should this incite the most rage in my heart, of all the horrible things going on right now? No. But here we are.

Strong Thursday Murder Club energy . . .

And I swear this has happened with other recent shootings. It's just crushing. And tomorrow is December 14/Newtown . . .

Also what about "sua sponte"???

Another day of Mark Cuban trending just for showing his ass on main. I don't hate it, but also so tiresome the amount of informational/attention bandwidth these money bros swallow up.

And a thick, uncut dose of Randolph Scott. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/ca...

I like the analogy he starts out with. "I took the bus down here from Dallas this morning . . . If the bus driver had told me he was 60% sure he could get me to Houston safely, I wouldn't have gotten on the bus."

"vertical video" priorities!

I'm just saying, some of us remember the 2016 primary font

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

"Crash Duffy" 😂

going there so soon after Nuzzigate I'll give him that.

resigned from her pretend job? is that really "resigning"?

One day Jay is going to photoshop Paddington into Paddington and it will be the Singularity.

Like with all the shunning how do you forget?

Today is the 10th anniversary of one of the stupidest tweets ever written

On December 7, 1942, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dorie Miller manned anti-aircraft artillery & tended to the wounded under heavy fire; he was awarded the Navy Cross, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Navy at the time. This American hero of Pearl Harbor was killed in action 2 years later.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

I am just gonna assume this is about Spotted Lantern Flies

Mel Brooks was a visionary
