Decades ago my brother and I went to a retro diner. We didn’t realize it was one of those places where the staff perform some joyless doo-wop number every hour. We were the only patrons in the place. It was excruciating. Trump’s festival on the national mall looks worse than that.

Subway ambiance. #NYC.

The waters in #CentralPark looking reflecting pool green today.

Relatedly, Trump and MAGA fully grasp that their longer term success will depend on our willingness to move on from everything they've done to our country, and directly to us. Musk as well. There cannot be any forgetting. www.offmessage.net/p/detrumpifi...

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Pelley, Colbert and Dickerson. Talk about a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I keep coming onto social media to see if the fever has broken.

Thanks, Stephen.

I’ll know I’ve made it when I don’t have to move 20 things to get to the 1 thing I need in my kitchen.

Bravo, Jaimie Ding.

My new earbuds require their case to power on. I am told this is how most modern earbuds work. Kindly fire whoever thought this was a good idea.

And we will get what we deserve. God have mercy on those of us who were too weak to stop it.

I live in NYC. The fear of being targeted by a terrorist attack is always there in the background. Every time this godforsaken wretch of a human being opens his degenerate mouth, the probability of a mass casualty event happening in the place where I raise my daughter skyrockets. God, damn him.

The only conversion therapy I’m interested in is getting my daughter to stop listening to autotune music.

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

Oh hey maybe there’s a reason gambling was considered a vice until like 5 minutes ago.

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

The best thing to have is enough.

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

It’s all so exhausting and it’s meant to be.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

You don’t say…

This is the way.

2026, ik heb het nog nooit gedaan, dus ik denk dat ik het wel kan! Een gelukkig nieuwjaar!

„Ich weiß nicht, ob es besser wird, wenn es anders wird. Aber es muss anders werden, wenn es besser werden soll." -  Georg Christoph Lichtenberg als Motto des Tages.

For Christmas this year I want podcasters to stop evaluating their own segues in realtime.

There should be a Pulitzer category for protest sign and this one should win it.

I nod my head at the end of every episode of Mushi-shi. I feel better for having watched it.

I’ve been working on this for a WHILE and would be so grateful if you could check it out and share—Dems need a vision, and they keep missing the mark. We built it for them, grassroots, and have a plan to make it happen. Americandemands.com

The things you find in Central Park.

“Leave of absence” is a very strange phrase.

The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too

Iron Man will live again. RIP, Ozzie.

The NewsHour remains one of America’s most professional, serious, high-minded news outlets. The more ppl get their news from them, the better off we’ll be.

I asked Siri to pull up Ursula von der Leyen’s Wikipedia page and it gave me Ursula from the Little Mermaid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Running Man was supposed to be a cautionary tale.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Well said. May your words reach many many ears.

When America was truly great:

This is horrific.

nope. and you don’t need vice presidents of news. just people who do the news.

The original Sesame Street did many groundbreaking things, but to me the best thing it did was put poor kids on TV.

The first step to being able to win is the willingness to lose well. If you're not prepared to lose well you will usually lose badly. This is a fact that applies across so many of life's challenges.
