Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

I'm sure everyone will be SHOCKED to hear that the videos do not show the whole "people came out and attacked ICE with snow shovels" thing that ICE claimed was what happened. This was not a remotely defensive gunshot.

I don't think this sadness would have happened before Jack in the Box bought them out in 2022. The few times I ate at Del Taco it was like 'Oh, you gave us a little money? Here, have a ton of food.'

Feeling more and more true by the day. Also, season 5 of Fargo was cooking something fierce with this.

Minneapolis could turn out to be Trump's Howard Dean scream.

2026 is 17 days.

Fellow olds, there's a vtuber doing 80s anime song karaoke tonight. She seems to like singing showa era music, enka, and anime songs. Someone realized olds are an untapped market (I kid (kinda)). I saw her enka stream and she was really good. #VictoriaRoman www.youtube.com/live/VFVi-Bb...

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Ok, but why is Chiitan in Mr. Plinkett's basement?

There is going to be a general strike on January 23. Make sure you don't cross the picket line.

You know how little kids wear their dad's old shirt as a smock?

Folks saying this is just as bad, I need you to reread about reconstruction. Not holding people accountable is how we get into this position. Removing people who colluded with the administration in an authoritarian takeover of higher ed from their position is the most reasonable thing to do.

Ah. I see some AI proponents have begun creating Bluesky lists of folks hostile to the tech. I submit, as eloquently as it deserves: Fuck AI. Fuck its enablers. Make sure you spell my name right on your precious list, slop-peddlers.

In other words, we can't strip mine all its resources and leave it a polluted hellscape unless we own it.

Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.

In other words, more taxes for us here in the US.

So I've been on bluesky for a minute now, and even with a third of the followers I ever had on Twitter, I get about 10x the engagement on every post here. Human beings actually look at my work here and will *click on links.* Even at its pre-Musk height, Twitter never managed that for me.

Stickerapp, stickerninja, diecutstickers, stickerrobot, bumperactive, literally any other sticker website is better than Stickermule. Hell, printing them yourself on plain paper, cutting them out with dull scissors, and applying glue stick to the back by hand is better than Stickermule.

YouTube reminded me of a song I like by JMSN and I figured I'd see what he's up to now, and... is this video done in one take? What do you think? I really only see one obvious place to put a splice, but no one in the comments mentions anything about the one take-ness of it? youtu.be/M0LAqZW9-8g?...

Hey, remember dubstep? I bet someone's cockatiel does.

Same with DOGE — it’s so weird when people are Iike “gosh it failed to meet its goal of government efficiency” rather than “looks like its real goal was to steal data while breaking federal agencies and ending support for black and brown people abroad”

Probably gonna get cancelled but I have to admit I'm a centrist (when it comes to heating the house vs heating the person to stay warm in winter).

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Let's not be scabs, and join them if we can. If nothing else, just don't shop that day.

I hope it involves stairs.

Made sure to take my lake city crying pills this morning.

I'm calling it right now: like it or hate it, this will be the next thing in headwear fashion. You heard it here first.

I saw the footage. The death star is a HERO. Alderaan shouldn't have been where it was, floating in space menacingly like that.

They are living in their own information environment and it's cooking their brains. It's like dealing with the only kid in class who still believes in Santa, except that he has a gun and will kill anyone who says that Santa isn't real.

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife is pretty cute so far.

So this is unbelievably vile. From someone I consider a very trusted source.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Ok fellow skeeters - this is how we take care of each other. I’ll match the next 1,000$ in donations. Reply below when you donate.

It's cute that the NHS site uses "poo" and "pee" when talking about medication side effects. Like they'll list a serious side effect like "have black or red poo".

Very depressing news from the neurophysiologist this morning. Another test where they found nothing wrong. That shouldn't be depressing, that should be a good thing, but my problems continue without answers.

This dude rules

Two people were just shot by ICE in Minneapolis off N 24th Ave. Early indications are that they'll survive.

A black t-shirt with a large screen-printing is just a socially acceptable bib for adults.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.

Hahahahahahaha! Oh nooooo! Hahahaha! Oh no! Hahaha!

If it helps, you should know that they will not win. They are fucking morons that couldn't manage a Dairy Queen, let alone a country. Still, they might hurt a lot of people in the process.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...
