Because Musk isn’t content to destroy only one Texas ecosystem.

The thing about the current administration is they make everyone dumber.

Global TV is a low-effort conservative-leaning private network, and this wasn’t “treachery” this was “it was the weekend before Christmas and they just broadcast the episode that was sent to them digitally by CBS on Friday”, no one in the office on the weekend even if CBS tried to warn them

It’s self-fulfilling. A circle.

It’s only been a year.

Bari Weiss has so spectacularly failed upward that Elon Musk has claimed her as a SpaceX rocket

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.

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

When you say "no comment" you have, indeed, made a comment. Or, as Neil Peart once wrote, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

I say it often: it isn't the science that will convert the climate skeptics and laggards, but the costs related to insurance. #thehigherthewater

We live at the intersection of a lot of things and almost all of them intersect at "stupid."

Fun fact: when Michael Flatley drinks champagne he turns into Michael Bublé.

Everything they touch dies part-I've-lost-count

I agree with 98% of this, which is also the status of my battery life 14 seconds after I've unplugged the phone.

Fare Magazine travels the world, one city at a time, offering readers a literal taste of each destination. No lists, no suggestions, just a deep and personal dive into the flavor of each city. It's not the easiest way to make a magazine. But that's what makes Fare so good. Have a listen.

This is how I feel, perfectly encapsulated, about print, about magazines and about print magazines. From the latest episode of The Full Bleed.

how the fuck do the Flintstones know about Christmas

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

HATCH THE FROZEN FLESH EGG

In 2026 I resolve to say "I think not" more, even when not appropriate.

GenX doctors. This is why we made ‘zines. Self publish and use the mail.

Four chapters (I think, that's what the outline says) and I'm trying to barrel through. I told myself I would finish this first draft by the end of the year and now it's the end of the year and I'm cutting it close. Ironic, since time is a theme in this thing.

It's like the height of grotesque what's going on right now. Every day they find a way to get ickier.

Just as you suspected..... money for nothing.

Fair. Though I would argue it failed long before 2025.

In my house the most frequently asked question I receive is “Did you fart?”

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

Best use of “goober” in a long time.

Since it’s about the economy he’s bound to say “Somalia” and maybe even “hoax” and he will extol the virtues of the ballroom. Also: crypto.

If a media brand is out for relevancy Vanity Fair has been on a tear And it’s not even close.

I wrote down random thoughts about the past year and the year to come and where we find ourselves now, in this odd liminal state. arjunbasu.com/archives/ran...

At least some people are taking these things seriously.

The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

The dumb is collective.

This is the desert of the real. The Wachowskis called it. But like Bernie says, no one wants this. Folks are organizing in amazing ways.
