The makers mark ad amuses me. Everyone should be unreasonable about something.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you, for the voices that rise up, the hearts that refuse to back down, and the courage that keeps the resistance moving forward. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. 💚✊

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Was anyone else surprised to hear this 90s era company still exists?

Great day in the morning to you. I am cancer-free! You may now resume your scrolling.

Because he isn't. His whole life and work has been about not giving two sh*ts about anyone but himself. Nothing has changed with his current job title.

The number of straight women I've spoken to who "would not do this again" if they ended up a widow or divorcee - we are not okay. There are so many of us.

I’m sad that 3L0N got denied in his attempt to move X (twitter) to Texas to be with Space X. Now I can’t make the joke that “All his X’s live in Texas.”

So, leaving a concert in Denver on Sunday night, my friend and I are walking back to our car when we stumble on this absolute masterpiece. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a purple El Camino with a ball pit in the back.

These are the shoes of Daniella, an 8 yo girl. She died because the poorly planned shuttering of USAID left her without typhoid and malaria medication and zero time to find alternatives. There are many like her. USAID's botched winddown may well be a leading cause of death in the coming years.

This week, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced their lates project, Freedom Trucks. It is a tremendous work of propaganda. A deep dive into the project, what it really aims to do, and the curious timing and appearance of the press release. bookriot.com/imls-freedom...

Hear me out. There’s no suspect bc those in charge of the fbi are lacking the proper skills. Or there’s no suspect because it was an inside job in order to distract from the Epstein Files and blame democrats.

RIP Charlie Kirk. May all who mourn find solace in knowing that he believed gun deaths were “worth it,” “prudent,” and “rational.”

After Elon Musk’s highly public exit, key DOGE team members have transitioned to permanent jobs at Social Security, including as the agency’s top tech officials. High-profile teen DOGEr Edward “Big Balls” Coristine joined SSA this summer.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

235 open tabs in my mobile browser is too many. Right?

Had a great night with friends Friday. So did the 15 mosquitoes who ate up my feet. Had to stand in bath and pour witch hazel on them to get relief. Anyone have any family remedy to share so I can stop itching? Seven bites on one foot. FOUR on my pinky toe. (Wtf)

Evergreen content. NPR CEO Katherine Maher on the Late show with Colbert about how public radio, public news is so important to our local communities and individual lives. youtu.be/ysvGRj79P9k?...

Sure the world is on fire but this is actually terrifying. wapo.st/4g3ZoFc Ditch plastic. Like now.

I hear the administration wants more babies. They could start by getting Americans to ditch plastic. wapo.st/4g3ZoFc

It’s easily been three and a half decades since I’ve seen the Ginger Rodgers/Leslie Ann Warren 1965 Cinderella. But upon rewatching tonight, damn if all those tunes didn’t come falling out of my mouth like I’d just memorized them yesterday.

"Instead of toppling our radio towers, the funding cut is just likely to make them lean further left. Was that the White House’s and Congress’s intention?" The latest from Maddy Butcher:

Her testimony is crap. Nothing she says lines up with what we’ve all witnessed of the man’s character. He doesn’t know how to conduct himself like a gentleman because he’s a sleezebag from top to tails and always has been.

thought there could not be anything more fuckin cringe than the gold mantlepiece jars but here we are

ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They don’t want you to know how they’re treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVS…

Trump is currently disappearing the homeless from DC.

Parents: if no one has told you this yet and it's not too late: DO NOT PLAN TO GO OUT FOR A FUN DINNER ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. These kids are gonna be tired, grumpy, and disregulated. For at least a week. Plan comfort foods and chill evenings accordingly.

All 800 National Guard troops Trump ordered into the streets of Washington this week are now mobilized. The lengths he’ll go to just to distract from the Epstein files is astounding.

PowerPoint has been on the market since 1989. And yet, this morning I am sent scanned printed slides with handwritten notes on how to edit them for a new presentation. You've had 36 years to learn. This is just laziness.

So assuming this story is correct -- and the WSJ reporter is excellent -- Trump's chief negotiator on Ukraine is meeting with Putin about how to end the war while also scouting sites for a possible Trump hotel in Moscow. www.wsj.com/world/russia...
