"I can’t abide by the schadenfreude-laden viewpoint that anyone who ever pulled a lever for Trump deserves whatever’s coming to them as a result. The fact is that this political moment is immiserating good people. I don’t blame them for that. I blame him."

We do not need to rehabilitate the crazy jewish space lasers lady. She is still a crazy anti-semitic racist conspiracist - even if she's not currently getting along with another crazy anti-semitic racist conspiracist.

The bloody ghost of my ancestor Lt. John Bacon, shot dead by a redcoat musket during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, appeared at the side of my bed last night and said anyone can be American as long as they aren’t English

saw that there are only five Sears stores left in the US. That's weird. It was still almost a thing when I was a kid. I mean, I'm old enough to remember when Wrangler jeans were basically a "Yeah, my mom shops at Sears. Please hit me" sign pasted on your ass.

Treason for the Season

One of my favorite Christmas songs is Sam Phillips rendition of "it came upon a midnight clear" from the film A Midnight Clear. It's haunting. Like it's literally haunted me since the first time I heard it more than 30 years ago. youtu.be/8Lsi1NZtWGw?...

Just your occasional reminder we coulda had cool scandi grandpa as veep instead of that smirking dweeb.

Flex posts protect cars, not cyclists.

holiday update: the number of over 55 retirees in my in-laws gated community who need gigantic pickup trucks "for work" >0

i still can't get over this news out of the Heritage Foundation: that a person named Hans von Spakovsky exists and isn't just a poorly realized comic book villain.

Might have just radicalized my mother in law by telling her ICE detained Marilyn from Northern Exposure.

It’s funny when you remember Bari Weiss called her outlet The Free Press

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

the vice president is a klansman

I just drove 8 hrs and then went on a 2hr ride and apparently i'm expected to stay awake for another4-6 hours and I don't understand how that's gonna happen.

My Christmas wish is that one day our sidewalks will be as wide as our trucks.🎄🎅

Just based on the number of photos of them together, Donald Trump hung out with Jeffrey Epstein more times than e.g. ive hung out with my own siblings as an adult.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. icAnTdAncE.

The top pay for incarcerated workers in ohio is something like $1.40/hr.

Trump Renames RFK Jr. “Bobby Trump Kennedy”

me, pouring another bourbon because my face hurts ... i hate everything.

Holding the door for someone is a common courtesy. Stopping your car + not hitting someone with it while they cross a street is not an act of kindness or courtesy to be praised but the bare minimum of responsibility as a driver. Let's not mistake responsibility for courtesy.

Matt's been doing the work for a long time. He's brilliant, funny, and would be a tremendous voice in congress for the Bay Area, Californians, and for Americans who ... care about other people. If you can, toss him a few bucks. Early money makes all the difference.

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

Meet the world’s largest heat pump - for now. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just had to explain "apple doll" to guys on the group chat and I really thought these creepy little things were a widely known phenomenon. And yes, the conversation was about why certain WH staff look like they're 30 years older than they are.

There are few things that depress me more than watching pedestrians in my allegedly walkable neighborhood run across the street (at crosswalks) to avoid being slaughtered by cars.

Thinking back to literally walking along the railroad tracks with friends who are now gone, and about how much Stand By Me shaped my view of my childhood, of writing, and music, and of the world and ... thank you Rob Reiner.

The world is a terrible hurricane of shit and horrors but I just made a pretty good burrito mojado - chimi mashup thing from stuff i found in the fridge so there might be hope for humanity.

My version of "come at me bro!" is "like dude, I'm sort of like a slow moving moose. you can hit me if you want, but i'm gonna mess up your car. bad." I've got big pedestrian energy.

At large super chief boss dude in charge has such a bad case of the little dude it's almost tragic.

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

The writers room is really phoning it in this season. They're not being even the slightest bit subtle.

@chessercat.bsky.social you're gon a buy Jello's corolla right?

My new hobby is collecting mugs that are no longer culturally relevant. So tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Missing Spine mug insulting Paul Ryan, the 2012 Republican Vice Presidential candidate. collabs.shop/pz9euz

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

the hat on shein vs the hat they deliver

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

I’m about to go from this warm indoor place outside into this snow so that I can go to a place where there is large amounts of ice indoors.

Walking into 2026

completely totally absolutely car brained

A few times a week various neighborhood run clubs jog/run/sprint past my house wearing the lighting equivalent of a neighborhood in a John Hughes Christmas movie just so drivers won't kill them and it's making me really sad.

Stephen Miller's legacy is assured

A reminder that bikes are Patriot Transit

Unfortunately I did not pay for Premium Grandma w/out Ads and had to settle for free Grandma, and she starts every conversation telling me it would be cool if I got a job with ICE.
