“Like prime, but with human beings”

the words "human" and "warehouse" should not be in the same paragraph together, let alone used as a compound noun (not a criticism of the poster, a criticism of our fascist government)

Rahm Emanuel, now positioning himself as a Democratic presidential hopeful for 2028, was asked by Tommy Vietor to assess the legacy of Obama-era “counterterrorism” & US drone warfare. “You know, Tommy, I gotta be honest — I hadn’t really thought about it,” Emanuel said. “In the sense that our...

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Cardinal Dolan refused to give communion for years to Democratic Legislators. The pope should put his fucking foot down and order excommunication to ICE officers and politicians supporting this terror campaign. Otherwise the church stands for fucking nothing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Catholics should fucking riot.

Bowden’s ready for a party if you’re having one.

I write about this story periodically during the holidays.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Every one of these deaths is a murder by the state. Full stop.

Harvard's first Black president was bullied out of office by a guy who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein, that's still sinking in

Are we seriously doing rhetoricals? I mean I know Ron is an idiot and a hack but Jesus Christ why the fuck are any of you still giving this piece of shit money?

Just retweeting this again since it seems I’m blackballed from even getting interviews.

One of the fun extras of clearing out my family house after my aunt passed away was that my Dad who I’ve been no-contact with removed me at some point from a life insurance policy he took out when I was 2 years old. He spelled my name wrong on the document, like he did on my social security card.

hmmmmmmmm

And why would that be Sam? finance.yahoo.com/news/sam-alt...

Great week for pieces of shit getting punched in the face. Part one.

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

Christopher Anderson is a great photojournalist and an expert at this. Lydia works for the NYTimes OpEd page which doesn’t even bother to fact check its writers. They aren’t familiar with being good at their job.

Congressional investigation now.

“The same systems that made sure Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color were last in line for clean air, safe housing, and political power are the same ones making sure we’re also first in line to drown, burn, or be displaced.” - @merirei.com My first for @unicornriot.bsky.social

Anyone who spends a lot of time at young conservative conferences can tell you this is fairly common. Or who goes to a happy hour in D.C. for AEI, Heritage or any of the other big conservative think tanks.

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

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

I'm making t-shirts with this on it. We can just try everyone in Hollywood and DC and let the judges sort it out. AOC and Pedro Pascal get a pass. That's it.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

I'm broke, but if you have cash - give some of it to the fantastic Mississippi Free Press. [a place that if they're ever hiring a photojournalist, I'll be there in a second.]

I'm not sure what the Democratic Party expected to happen with the Epstein Files release. Of course it was going to be Clinton focused and wildly redacted and completely half-assed. If there is no way to enforce the Trump DOJ to do something, then it's not going to happen.

NEW from LCRW: A Proud Boys propagandist made a sizzle reel for the hate group with Netflix's logo. Netflix—and nobody else apparently—want to talk about it. @jwcroxton.bsky.social writes.

Being able to take criticism is the toughest thing in art, life and just existing on the internet. Learning to ignore non-constructive criticism given to you is the second most important thing... Learning to GIVE good constructive criticism is probably the most important thing...

I have an incredibly long drive tomorrow and need some new podcast recommendations. Currently I listen to the QAA podcasts, Knowledge Fight, Know Rogan, God Awful Movies and Better Offline. Would love some more light hearted fare.

We lost one of the all time greats this month. One of those people that had an greater influence than even bigger box office directors - mainly because of his kindness. Rob Reiner. @russburlingame.com & @zdroberts.bsky.social discuss his career and much more. emeraldcityvideo.net/2025/12/19/e...

Shit got more expensive and stayed more expensive so “being employed” doesn’t help you as much

The Penguin, age 33. Frankly his skin is looking better than some in the administration younger than him. Must be the all fish diet.

Every single democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Every single one. Not one “no” vote.

I remember when Christmas week was when the big Oscar contenders or just solid drama pieces would hit the theaters. Now we have this. (Many fine films, I'm sure...just nothing in my wheelhouse) There's maybe one showing of anything else playing at any theater within 30mins of me.

“Slatton immediately submitted her client’s birth certificate along with sworn affidavits from family members present at her birth. She expected ICE to pause, review, and release her. Instead, the agency transferred Diaz Morales from Maryland to Louisiana …” www.nickvalencianews.com/p/ice-detain...

Which so many trans people said was exactly what was going to happen

The Trump administration realized that you can ignore the law and not have any consequences. If there’s no way to enforce the law, it’s not a fucking law. As I keep saying, this country and its constitution is a fucking joke, one that Trump tells every day.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

I got invited to (kind of) tag along on a raid in New Orleans.

She's been pursuing her rapist for 40 years! Missouri and Oklahoma have been hiding each other's criminals for decades.

TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk did the WWE entrance then mostly went over stats. According to her TPUSA is currently in 3,082 high schools, 1,432 college campuses & partnered with ~8K churches. Kirk said the org. will put their weight behind the Andy Biggs governor race and to make JD Vance president (lmao).

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work. Brian makes 6,666 times the average Starbucks worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500! The visuals write themselves...

$20 says Cardinal Dolan is at March for Life next month in DC. Going to be a LOT of pissed off trad-caths. www.reuters.com/world/us/pop...

I think of this photo Chuck Schumer by Michael A. McCoy/Zuma a lot when talking about how the Democratic Party can't get it's shit together with young people.

The Turning Point USA annual Phoenix mega conference shenanigans has begun. The convention center is wrapped with with messages like “Make America Charlie Kirk,” “Carry the Torch,” and “For Charlie.” Will update here throughout the weekend.
