Trump didn’t exactly refute the “personality of an alcoholic” allegations tonight

this would never before have been on national television. imagine showing this to yourself 15 years ago. you’d think we went through a civil war or something.

What is an AI automobile

Reminder that naturalized citizens are people who jumped through every hoop, did all the paperwork, passed the test, and swore an oath to this country. They did it all “the right way” and still Republicans want to kick them out.

oh.

Trump has announced his ballroom will now cost $400 million. This comes as Americans' health care premiums are set to skyrocket in the coming weeks.

and Reiner was WIDELY beloved, not some C-listed divisive podcaster. You don't get more fucking normie coded than The Princess Bride and Stand By Me. This is practically like gloating over Mr Rogers.

Thinking about this in conjunction with that WV piece & how many Trump/R voters, far from being motivated primarily by material concerns, are so wedded to their dumb, vindictive ideologies that—like a Westworld robot—they cant acknowledge who's harming them even while it stares them in the face

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

when u see a book about a penguin with two dads

It's St. Lucia Day. Swedes really did come up with a whole oldest daughter core holiday - get up before everyone in the morning, make them cardamom buns and serve them to your whole family while wearing a wreath of flames on your head!

fuckin jump scare

Trench coats informally banned from every high school since 98 but the suicide robot is installed on your school laptop automatically

"you ruined my life" said Sherrone Moore to his affair partner after his catastrophic decisions caught up to him unbelievable

why am I getting more texts from Mark Kelly than my husband?

they're coming to him with tears in their eyes saying sir, you have no juice, you have the least juice we've ever seen

They sent JD Vance to Indiana and they were like never do that to us again

Ok, Hoosiers!

I have no idea how to respond to this except to say that however bad you think it is for women, it is worse

Also everybody else seems to take "the doctors said I did great" at face value, like have they not accompanied an elderly parent to one of these? They don't slap you and yell YOU FAILED, they say great job. No matter how much dementia you just did!

This would be “talking to” my grandmother exactly as much as a ventriloquist with a picture of my grandmother on her lap making my grandmother say “I love you” while she drinks a glass of water.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Michigan is going ahead and doing full on WINTER I love it so much

Why does this photo look like a still from the Genesis “Land of Confusion” video

ok yes

The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

Scott Bessent: “Americans don’t realize how good they have it.” Americans: We can’t afford lettuce. www.kcci.com/article/eddy...

god, this is going to be my favorite photo of him unless we get one during an auspicious event. also, the NYT doesn't run this photo for this story unless they smell blood

the thing is, they've turned everything immigration-related to stephen miller, who has never run for office, has never held an elected position, and who could not win a popularity contest consisting solely of members of his own household. he is indifferent to the future of the republican party.

Real question: will people be able to bet on the next likely place in the US for a school shooting? How many American infants and children will die of measles in the next year? This whole project is ghoulish and inhuman

This is a judgment free zone. If you need to break into a liquor store and pass out in the bathroom because you’re a raccoon who’s having a hard time, that’s ok. It’s called self care

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.

This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

I keep thinking about "strong floor no ceiling" and how insane it is to introduce a slogan where 1/2 the words are telling a very tiny very rich segment of the population that you won't restrict them at all and 1/2 the words are telling everyone else you'll just try to keep shit from getting worse

This is insane. I cannot believe we are such a trash fire country that CNN, who makes the news, is now in bed with the company that lets you bet on the news. As if they couldn't lose any more credibility now we'll know execs are spiking stories based on how they bet and not just to suck Trump off

also nobody is stopping you from doing those things with your family now? like yeah, it's not as *magical* decorating the tree when it's my husband & I who have to do the frustrating, boring parts (like getting it in the stand & putting on the lights) but that's life, man

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Her remarks seemed to be very important to Trump. Really made an impact. bsky.app/profile/atru...

it's amazing how even the "sleepy Joe" nickname was projection.

awww Little Marco bless his heart

"It's called the fog of war!" "I like beer!" I don't ever want to be lectured about meritocracy ever, ever again

If you refuse his illegal orders, Pete Hegseth with accuse you of sedition. If you comply with his illegal orders, Pete Hegseth will blame you and work to throw you in prison for war crimes. Tough time to work at the Pentagon.

What Hegseth has, and most people who serve absolutely do not, is bloodlust. He thinks there’s something inherently cool about getting to kill people. Dems must understand, as an existential matter, that this can’t be allowed to fester.

Nothing says “I’m going to ditch indoctrination” like joining a community of “like-minded individuals” that looks like this.

You see a new group like this pop up every few years because hoodwinking wealthy donors into thinking you can break the two party system with technology is incredibly lucrative. It's free money for a political consultant. www.npr.org/2025/12/01/g...

going to bed on a sunday after a 4-day weekend

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

It's funny I don't remember this being the take during the Biden presidency

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
