Burning fossil fuels to make child sex images. Beyond our worst nightmares

As someone said over the weekend, his most obvious fault is that he thinks he's good at public speaking. He should absolutely do a *lot* less of it and give room to the Senate Dems who actually are excellent voices of the party.

hate it when my elite pedophilia related government cover up gets in the way of my domestic ethnic cleansing and starvation campaigns while I’m trying to invade other countries

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela We are a rogue state, a global pariah Trump is ruling as a dictator, period An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations The message for 2026 is clear: No kings! My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

So the US can abduct anyone—including heads of state—as long as they’ve been indicted in the US. But the SC has also ruled it’s impossible for the US to prosecute its own President. The natural conclusion: some sort of mutually beneficial system of authoritarian kidnap-exchange. A Coasean Sargon.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

“A new report from the Wall Street Journal alleges that Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago spa had teenage workers make house calls to Jeffrey Epstein's mansion.” people.com/mar-a-lago-s...

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

@robmahoney.bsky.social Lots of great writing in this collection bu this line about the Pacers is particularly excellent. "They brought people together, because wonder loves company."

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

This story is two months old. What did we know and when did we know it?

every day

These dumbasses on X keep asking Grok to validate this number, and Grok keeps doing the same math you just did to determine that actually 4000 day cares within 20 miles of Boston proper is pretty reasonable.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

i would prefer they skeeted like epstein perverts writing emails. fucking up this badly when auto correct is obviously on and fighting for its life is cringe

After hatefulness, laziness is the second through line of this administration.

Last month, Congress passed the Epstein Transparency Act, and the President signed it. Yet the DOJ is still releasing far too many redacted files and even fake information. They are not following the law. Release ALL the files.

I laughed but I almost cried

Horrifying. This didn’t have to happen. History books should be filled with the names of the enablers. We should construct plaques with them in the cemeteries.

Contrarianism is a luxury that is affordable, if annoying, in times of peace and abundance. It is a juvenile impulse that is seemingly irresistible to a portion of the population It is rat poison at times like these, and must be avoided and pushed back upon wherever/whenever it is encountered

The Epstein Files, everybody!

STRICKLAND: Participate in the UFC White House event? "Just to go hang out with the fucking Epstein list? I'm good, dude."

“Of course, it doesn’t feel right to want IT to HAPPEN. And it’s obviously not okay to try to make IT HAPPEN. That’s not what this is ABOUT, just to make things CLEAR LEGALLY as far as VARIOUS AGENCIES are concerned.” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/whe...

I'll take it.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

I can't believe the Atlantic went from employing Ta-Nehisi Coates to arguing that it would be acceptable to shout racial slurs at Ta-Nehisi Coates if he asked for additional caramel for his Cinnabon order.

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this

Is my memory faulty, or did Cornell West work to get Trump elected in 2024? I hope we don't have to hear from that guy ever again.

My bet, based largely on the sudden posting of promotional materials for vendors of cannabis products on Trump's Truth Social account over the last six months, is that Trump and his children and members of his entourage, have made substantial investments in cannabis companies in the last few months.

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

I take more than my share of shots at Quinn Emanuel but they have done great and difficult work, at substantial risk to the firm, for Abrego Garcia. Sincere thanks and respect.

I would be angry too

...[people with good taste] who like AI.... Obviously heavy Facebook users appear to love AI slop, people on the online political right, love it, etc. The aesthetically sane people that appreciate AI are mostly people who use it to save time, money, and effort on tasks they wish to avoid.

@dannychau.bsky.social The Pels traded two lottery picks in the 2026 draft for Derek Queen and Mohave King. In such a playfully written article, there had to be a monarchy joke available www.theringer.com/2025/12/11/n...

Theory: Joe Dumars is an Anglophile. The Pels traded away 2 lottery picks in the 2026 draft. They traded the Pacers' 2026 1st round pick for the 23rd pick in 2025 + Mohave King and then traded that 23rd 2025 + plus their own 2026 pick for Queen. Two 2026 lottery picks for a Queen and King. #NBASky

The murders in the Caribbean were never about the drug trade. Trump’s oil theft makes that clear.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

A short conversation between Bluesky users that I fell are frequently pragmatic and reasonable. There's an almost teenage character to discourse on here where people cannot imagine things they don't value should be valued by anyone.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

I need this answered

We're going to have to jam civilization and science down some people's throats.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela. Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Amen
