My kid is gonna be so mad when he doesn't get 37 pencils for Christmas

Not my most important story of the year, but one of my favorites, I think. I remember, if vaguely, when we used music to amplify emotions, probably to the extreme of wallowing in them. Now—and well before AI—music became anesthetizing, a canvas for the void.

Listening to as much Turnstile and Knocked Loose as I can before the music app tells me I'm 70 years old

Honestly, if I was married to Stephen Miller I would also want to die.

Sure acab but also I'm gonna use the hell out of the state's new snitch phone number for people who litter in their cars

The most maliciously incompetent people fighting fake wars with broken tools that are more marketing invention than practical reality. What could go wrong really

Sure it's my fault for living in a place where a human life is worth less than a 2003 F-150 but it would be nice to go for a run on a quiet Tuesday morning and not have to negotiate narrow roads crammed with landscaping trucks that refuse to park in driveways and sidewalks blocked by trash cans

Yes! I have said this about the 2A too time.com/6329152/magi...

Oh neat. This was called the Komsomol in the Soviet Union

Coastal Carolina having to travel to Shreveport to play Tech in the Independence Bowl feels more like a punishment than a reward. Like this is what you get for going 6-6

All the historians

this has become a very important video to me

This guy is typically insufferable but this is true

Inspired by @carlygoodman.bsky.social we got the 10 year old an old school discman CD player and got several CDs at the used bookstore today and he's currently listening to Huey Lewis with great delight while he plays Fortnite

The rules are you can kill anyone you want as long as they're on a list, any list

We were talking about the few phone numbers we know off the top of our heads and the 10 year old says "the only phone number I know is Gordon McKernan's" which is very Louisiana

I got a new iPad from work recently, the first update I've played with in maybe 6 years, and I am struck at how iOS is just absolute trash now. How do you iPhone people put up with this

Oh no I see you're confused. That was Rage Against the Machine

political science

Captain D's in Shreveport has closed. We used to be a proper country

SHREVEPORT MENTIONED, DRINK

To be honest this is the most lucid and awake he's appeared in many months. He's even standing! He's extra shiny orange. It's like a proof of life video

granted I am not an Economist but I would not trust a person with the affect and mannerisms of a Karp, Thiel, or Musk squeegee the windshield of my car

Looking over year end music lists it's no wonder all the kids are listening to music from the 80s and 90s

This was a good post, should have done better numbers. I'm disappointed in all of you

Meta got things started in North Louisiana and went back to Silicon Valley and said "you should see these rubes, they'll let you do literally anything"

Renaming the Institute for Peace after yourself as you defend extrajudicial executions and prepare for war in Venezuela is really leaning into the mad dictator shtick. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

The republican party has a big Nazi/holocaust denial constituency. There really just is no other way to say it.

It's weird to even use the word "still." Assuming they were smuggling a boat full of drugs—and we yet to see evidence to that effect—they were never "in any kind of fight" to begin with. They were criminals transporting an illegal consumer product.

A year ago this squeaky troll said the pipe bomber was an "inside job" by the federal government

The Biden administration's biggest mistake was failing to go after this obvious global criminal enterprise because it would have looked "political"

"stay in the fight" these people are the most cringe-inducing losers to have ever drawn breath in these United States

the fucking furry con I’m spending the weekend volunteering at has better operational security than trump’s DoD and its not even close

I have some bad news about your most recent Black Friday purchase, the AI Pervert Toilet.

It is the weirdest thing that on the irregular occasions when I check in on the ol Facebook the algorithm thinks that what I really want to see are completely fake stories about LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier doing heroic things to defend Christianity from various woke lib celebrities

Stalin understood the value of creating a class of loyal criminals

Check out @ncshusterman.bsky.social in this really important piece on the Second Amendment issues related to Trump's illegal military deployments www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/depl...

This timeline sucks so hard

Absolutely wild that there's an NPR story about states preparing a year ahead for election interference *by the president of the United States*

You'd have found better and more reflective writing by teenagers on livejournal in 2003

Just saw a student who's in my Russia class who said the last time she had class with me two years ago I walked in on the first day and said WHAT'S UP MOTHERFUCKERS and while I do occasionally have a potty mouth in class I swear I have never done this

Welp the winter quarter starts today, goes for two weeks, takes a two-week break, comes back for a month, takes another week-long break for Mardi Gras, then comes back for a week. Really well designed system we've got here, A+ for effort

Good morning

Give me money to run against Mike Johnson
