We will overcome these tragic times.

It’s those damn moderators, too

"You can always find 'sympathy' in the dictionary between 'shit' and 'syphilis.'" -Mom Mom, circa 1980's.

But seriously: What did happen to those hikers at the Dyatlov Pass in 1959?

renaming mar-a-lago "black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, and no human is illegal" and then getting mad when kid rock declines to perform there

We knew Bove "did not support the investigation" of Homan once he was at DOJ, per Leonnig and Dilanian's earlier reporting — covered here: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-disr... — but I believe today was the first we learned he was personally informed of the investigation before Trump's inauguration.

Wait, it was EMIL BOVE who was told about the Tom Homan investigation during the transition?!?!? www.ms.now/news/border-...

RIP Ms. Schlossberg.

The Trump Administration is the champion of DEI hires—Degenerates in Every Instance.

A big moment for professional hockey! The Professional Hockey Players’ Association ratified a new agreement with the @echl.bsky.social, strengthening protections and respect on the job. When players organize, they raise the standard for the whole sport. Congratulations to the PHPA!

Historians and scholars of the presidency rank Trump at or close to the bottom on any list of presidential greatness, and when it's finally over, he will leave the nation worse off than it was when he took office.

Welp. Even Artificial Intelligence is more accurate than none at all.

Is it at ALL possible that MTG is a flagrant opportunist…? Just asking questions here

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read." -- James Baldwin

Because it's fucking true. He destroys everything he has any control over. He was never going to do anything other than what he's done.

I miss a president who cares for all.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Holy shit! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is on WNYC right now. I was reading one of your posts, and suddenly there you were, coming out of the speakers. Nice!

You know who is NOT in the Epstein files? Drag queens, trans people & undocumented immigrants

Amen. Agreed.

Finished streaming the first season of Apple's The Studio (h/t @javachik.bsky.social for reminding me) and absolutely loved it—gales upon gales of beautiful, righteous cackling. It's the most accurate depiction of the film/television industry I've seen. Episode 3 and Ron Howard should get Emmys.

Saw this at the Jacob Burns recently and it really holds up.

Amen. As someone who sometimes dealt with situations for which this Old Chestnut was purpose-built, I can assure you: The enemy of your enemy is just another asshole you're going to have to deal with eventually, somehow, someway, somewhere. 9 times out of 10. For sure.

Cover Up, on Netflix, Laura Poitras' documentary on the life and times of American journalist Seymour Hersh, is pretty awesome. Especially now. I had forgotten about the time that Gulf-Western owned nearly everything. They were the Google or Amazon of their day. And now they're called Paramount.

When I worked at an elementary school in the South Bronx, the kids there played chess a few times a week. The best chess players in the city, if not the country, are often from the poorest neighborhoods in New York.

All my nearest and dearest and I made Merry and it was good. Plus, we finally got my wife that vintage brooch she always wanted. The really big one. Merry Christmas!

The media is trying to cover for Trump with the latest Epstein drop. MS NOW is covering for Trump, CNN, NBC, CBS all of them are covering for Trump's guilt. They all say he isn't guilty, which is BS. Sad our media can't point out Trump is in fact implicated in these crimes.

What our leading public health officials think

THIS!

"In my pocket I carry articles of impeachment and warrants for the arrest of the President and every corrupt and feckless MAGA jackass in Government today. You're welcome, America, and Happy Holidays!

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Carols in the Kyiv metro. Sending you a bit of Christmas spirit from Ukraine.

It's pretty ironic that the highest rated program that Bari Weiss has produced, and likely ever will, is the 60 Minutes CECOT episode she killed and was leaked. Tells you everything you need to know about her suitability to be head of a major, once respected, news agency. These people are garbage.

There are still some great people out there. Don’t forget that.

This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.

🤣🤣🤣

BREAKING: by an apparent vote of 7–2, the Supreme Court has *denied* President Trump‘s plea to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago

Yep so is CBS. They never had any good shows on it anyway.

Incredible quote from Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood: “I said all along that he was a piece of shit!”

Bari Weiss' reporting experience is summed up by the time the NYT bizarrely gave her the cushiest possible assignment - go to Australia and hang out and write about it - and she produced a story so bad and so wrong about basic facts of Australian life that it became a running joke there.

All of this President's tweets should just be called Article 25s.
