"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Conservatives won't stop until they control all the media.

🙄🤬

every accusation a confession you say? I am shocked simply shocked

yup

Have loved him ever since this Wired profile. Also adopted his weird movie club rituals. www.wired.com/1994/09/penn/

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

Sylvester Stallone looks like has been re-sculpted into a reasonable facsimle from the melted heap of his former self.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

Again, this is how Hitler got to killing millions of people in his concentration camps, NO ONE STOPPED HIM FROM DOING IT. That Trump can get in a quiet round of golf is an indictment of Americans as a whole.

Interesting piece. A lot of my friends will enjoy reading this; some of them are in it.

It's over. Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut. www.dailynebraskan.com/news/adminis...

Seriously: can we please bring back the news desk? Seeing news anchors just standing around a big empty room, gesturing halfheartedly in front of a backdrop, trying not to looking ill-at-ease, fills me with existential dread. Why did we take their desks away?

oops i found my favorite thread

Man this graf from @jpbrammer.bsky.social -- whew. Brilliant. johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

The monthly hand bandage (kisunla), the MRI, the oval office sign, the rambling. The President has Alzheimer's. But rich people are getting what they want, so I guess we're going to pretend he doesn't.

Taking a case on settled constitutional law is a very bad sign.

He puts the medal on *himself* like a very special boy

Immense wealth causes mental illness.

This article terrified me, but the anxious part of me that likes to anticipate trouble in order to cope with it appreciates that JVL is always willing to go there.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Trump's playlist pumps "Live and Let Die" before his "Delivering Peace" event

WHITE is the Pantone Color of the Year and you cannot make this shit up. www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/s...

Hegseth says this report “totally exonerates” him when it does the opposite. It’s like if he took a shit on your lawn, claimed he didn’t do it, was shown a photograph of himself doing it, and said that proved his innocence. “I didn’t take a shit, I left a deposit! And I declassified it!”

on the plus side I just used chatgpt to create a fancy schedule spreadsheet with complex conditional formatting rules and now I understand the appeal

the overwhelming prevalence of actual malevolent, amoral and/or insane people with incredible power and authority over the rest of us is making me anxious on a daily basis, even though the circumstances of my life are currently pretty okay

This is so literal minded? I took "The boys of the NYPD Choir were singing Galway Bay" to mean that the guys in the drunk tank with the male narrator were continuing to sing Irish songs, similar to the earlier reference to The Rare Old Mountain Dew. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLV1...

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

booooom

dude threatening to arrest someone for filming from *behind* him. "for what? we're at a Sam's Club" is such a great retort.

did you know that today you can go to a store and buy this cool book that people are enjoying well it’s true! happy publication date to the only book I’ll ever write that can fairly be called “fun” without further qualifications

uhh

Over to you, @ashmont.bsky.social. A melancholic song about traffic? A peppy banjo number about the Corita gas tanks?

We do not currently have meaningful governance. And what little "governance" we do have is being conducted by weirdos and ghouls who are *actively* harming people.

You have to scroll down the page to read the quotes, but this outlines the Billionaire's plan to take over America by eliminating Democracy and all the institutions that took us 250 years to build. This IS the Trump administration's plan via Project 2025. (Please share) theplotagainstamerica.com

Scott Jennings called @timmiller.bsky.social a condescending, talentless, America-hating phony — and many other things So Tim had to respond.

Hitler was bad. An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.

jesus christ

Turkey on the streets of Brookline, the day after Thanksgiving

Hey is it time to talk about gun control yet?

Trump responds to question about whether he'll attend the funeral of the slain West Virginia National Guardsman by talking about how he won West Virginia.

ugh, here we go with the spatchcocking

“Employees Rally Around [the University of Pennsylvania’s] Refusal to Disclose Jewish Faculty, Student Names *** The Trump administration asked the university to hand over personal information for the members of Jewish clubs & organizations as well as the Jewish Studies department.” 11/25/25 … 1/

someone please set this to the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
