The podcast bros know their audience have memories like goldfish, and in the not too distant future (if not already now) no one will remember they supported Trump in the first place

Echoing this sentiment. On Julaften, or Christmas Eve, wishing everyone a peaceful and restorative holiday season (amidst all the festivities!) and to anyone who is missing a loved one this year, know that you are not alone ❤️‍🩹

An interesting and moving account of a ‘stammtisch’ in New York. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/n...

This is truly the most wonderful time of year, when followers of the life and teachings of Satsu come together to celebrate Satsumas.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

The grotesque carnival of greed, corruption and wanton cruelty that animates the second Trump administration isn’t surprising, yet MAHA’s successful decimation of public health (especially in the wake of a pandemic) is still mind-boggling 🤦‍♀️

Consumer-facing “A.i.” is a fascist project of right wing billionaires to replace actual knowledge and human interaction with lies, disinformation, slop, and propaganda.

The contrast between ordinary citizens courageously confronting Trumpist bullying, and billionaires and CEOs obsequiously bending the knee– this spectacle in its clear simplicity provides a lesson we should not forget.

A true woman of the woods! 🪵

If you’re in the UK today, and are tempted to buy an actual printed copy of a newspaper (go on!) may I suggest @telegraph.co.uk ? I’ve done a Yuletide feature for them, emphasising that festive gatherings (or indeed cosy hibernation) should involve minimum hassle, and maximum fun… #buyapaper

“That’s Holocaust shit. Come on.” 👑

David Walliams AND the Epstein files? Truly it is a festive double issue bonanza take out the trash Christmas travel chaos Friday

Good tidings one and all. I’ve got a Yule feature in the Saturday Telegraph tomorrow, should you need some last-minute tips 💁‍♀️🇳🇴🎄 “How to host a hassle-free festive feast, Scandi style Avoid a stressful Christmas Day by embracing the carefree joys of ‘julehygge’ www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-dri...

This catches something really important. The risk is less that this crew changes the regime and more that while trying to do so they cash out the whole thing. Which is one more powerful reason why resistance is patriotic.

Three DHS agents manhandled this tiny 75-year-old woman who was peacefully protesting in front of ICE headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The corporate media is refusing to cover the story. Click to watch the video, and please share.

I remember reading about this horrifying case in August when it happened. I wish the family success in their lawsuit: the only way GenAI companies are going to take responsibility and make their products safer is if they are forced to do so.

“As far as “freedom of speech” and “political liberty” go, even the ranking published annually by the hyper libertarian Washington-based Cato Institute acknowledges that 6 of the top 10 most free countries of the world are from the EU. In contrast, the US is tied with the UK at number 17. “

“Who me?” Guess which feline monster has been tinkering with the bottom front link in the Christmas tree lights…

Lads, lads, sans serif fonts are woke now!

Nordics quite rightly not taking any chances

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

The idea of the 'public intellectual' has been degraded to the point of hilarity or horror in recent years, so it's great to see an interview with someone who is actually just old and wise (helps that she's a birder, too): www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn7a...

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

This is fascinating in the sense that the social media companies have managed to create a norm in which we think they can’t and shouldn’t be regulated. I wonder if people thought about cigarettes and alcohol this way once upon a time.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack. The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

People have causes they care about. That's fine. To me, this petition is the most important UK one of all because it concerns 10+ years of sickeningly successful Russian interference in politics, law, media, the private sector, fiance, and even British society as a whole. So much we care about.

Should be mandatory reading material available in doctor and dentist offices around the country.

The entire press corps should turn around and leave the next time and every time he does this. Their inertia has convinced him it’s ok to be abusive.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Happy Thanksgiving American pals, who can resist sharing this Leslie Jones gem again (from 2023) 🦃🇺🇸😋

Mahler? I barely even know ‘er!

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.

The great thing about this is the fearless interviewer. Imagine if all journalists were fearless seekers of truth instead of folding in the face of Farage's prickly blustering.

Sound up

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

The man couldn’t even figure out how to wash his hands properly, why anyone voted for this fool is beyond me

A stellar shortlist!

A weirdly on point microcosm of MAGA’s whole toxic nostalgia trip. All those things always sucked. You thought they were good because you were twelve. Rinse & repeat.

You know November’s hitting hard when you go into the kitchen and think “I’ll just have some muesli with warm milk, as a head start on breakfast tomorrow” 🐻
