my dad to me, after he overheard Slug's "if I ever blow up I wanna fuck Bjork" line from Deep Puddle Dynamics' "Rainmen" and then saw a picture of Bjork: she's not even that hot, she looks like you!

i simply do not think we should ever listen to someone who charges a regular person’s yearly income for one speaking engagement

Aelita: Queen of Mars (1924) is a Soviet science fiction film directed by Yakov Protazanov

me during a Red Wings game:

The NHL making fun of AI could not be more of a "now Martin's scoring off me!" moment

Denmark: heroic peer nation whose minimal vaccine requirements prove our deep corruption, or evil menace rogue country that has always been our enemy in Greenland?

all these "join ICE" ads playing during the NBA Christmas Day games feels like it should be more of an NFL thing

THE VORKOSIGAN SAGA, it is genuinely surprising to me that it hasn't been attempted

I feel like US border control not letting in anyone publicly critically of Trump is pretty fucking crazy like this is something western media would describe about North Korea as unthinkable despotism but they just reported trump doing it kinda dryly and moved on

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016. He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.

Something new for the festive table? Look no further than these fine examples of citrus sculpture, from "The Art of Ornamental Orange Peeling" (1910) — https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/the-art-of-ornamental-orange-peeling-1910

Democrats have had a mandate for over a decade now to just vote against everything Trump does and they can’t manage that. It’s a serious problem.

in serious trouble with the child for singing 'nutcracker, nutcracker, crack me a nut, do it right now, with the cheeks of your butt' while we watched Sanrio's Nutcracker Fantasy

I don't think Trump should get access to standard medical care, he should have to let RFK Jr treat him

My mother and sister, who are mid cooks at best, assigned me to bring rolls and "a simple roast vegetable dish" for Christmas and I instantly transformed into Thanksgiving Patty and Selma

Bill "I Hope We Both Die" Clinton

I got one who's a thinker and a problem solver and then I got this guy

As a public health civil servant my work is subject to FOIA requests by people and orgs hostile to public health as a concept who are hoping to catch me making basic errors or "manipulating" the data Copilot offering to "help" with a spreadsheet is just offering my head on a platter to these chuds

Gisele to Tom Brady:

feels like state medical licensing boards should be making a stand on this issue

Noem is using the Brown University shooter to end an entire visa program, but it should be noted that Pete Hegseth, just today, murdered more than twice as many people

It's incredible to me how the mainstream press will be incredulous and skeptical when RFK Jr and other HHS officials push they're quackery around vaccines but suddenly become credulous when they go attack trans healthcare. Anti vax and anti trans beliefs are all the same quack pseudoscience.

this is about forcing people with breasts to show them in the way approved of by fascists. it is in itself an act of sexual violence and coersion

A 56-year-old immigrant died this week at a newly opened federal immigration detention facility in northern Michigan, raising new questions about transparency and conditions inside one of the largest detention centers in the Midwest.

The influence of the moderately extremely online Ken Jennings is subtle but there for the true J! knowers

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce a package of measures that would together ban gender-affirming care for minors. A press conference is set for 11 a.m. Thursday. n.pr/44xQKdD

The wider political apparatus of the West and the US in particular is determined to declare trans existence an illegitimate way of being. If you can't bother to understand and empathise with a tiny, vilified, relentlessly attacked population in the face of that, what good are you?

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

You roll into Ohare one week before Christmas and cause chaos in the rideshare lot for only one reason and it's not to keep people safe.

This is what Gavin Newsom's strategic strategizing gets you.

As Maurice Broaddus said in Sorcerers

@propublica.org I am a monthly donor to your work, which I value, but I will have to pull my support if you go down this path, shameful behavior

On average we live pretty well - worse than last year, but better than next year

Making the most depressing point I can make yet again: the US media is going to treat Donald Trump with far less vitriol in response to him starting a random war in Venezuela vs the sheer level of vitriol that they hurled at Joe Biden for ENDING the War in Afghanistan.

I took my 11 y.o. to a screening of Frankenstein (1931) - wasn't sure how it would go over since it's so different from what they usually watch - and they loved it For the next week our walks to and from school were filled with talks about characters and motivations and set design, just so good

My pal Dean and I stumbling outside, stunned it was still daylight after a matinee of the interminable Illuminata Blair Witch Project with 5 gay Black men whose belief was not suspended even one time Mushrooms hit during Cowboy Bebop the Movie; moved to tears by the animation of fan blades

From the New York Post, of all places: RFK Jr.’s lunatic war on vaccines puts kids at risk nypost.com/2025/12/14/o...

This is not a painting. It is made entirely of wood, its surface flat. A detail from the 15th-century "Studiolo Gubbio", one of the finest examples of intarsia, the masterful art of fitting together pieces of wood to make images: publicdomainreview.org/essay/e...

really testing the limits of what bigotry can compensate for like, sorry your heart attack financially ruined your family for a generation but at least your time in poverty will be brightened knowing trans kids are suffering at least as bad!

You say drugs won the war on drugs? But what if we were to, you know, immanentize the eschaton, so to speak, and bring a hot war down on the "drugs"???

if you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.

I love birds so much. Look at these faces #birds 🌿

Appreciate the broadcast team for the Real Madrid match sharing solid life advice: let the Frenchman cook

Henry Cuellar’s biggest donor is ICE’s largest contractor: private prison company GEO Group. Guess whose budget Democrats just set him up to oversee in 2027

the trump era conservative movement is like if The Thing was really feelin itself and started going on tv like this and it keeps working so you're stuck watching like, Oh come on!! He's the thing!!! Look at his fuckin hand!
