I'm gonna be sad about Ohio State's loss last night for a long time. On a related note, I'm so glad I quit following some people before that game. Good planning on my part. ❤️🩶❤️🩶❤️

The idea that $630 shoes represent an apex of conspicuous opulence in the year 2026 should draw laughs. Jeff Bezos rented Venice for his wedding. Mark Zuckerberg owns 4 mi² of Kauai. Are these people kidding?

Just think if the committee wasn't full of cowards and dinosaurs that still believe in SEC exceptionalism we could have enjoyed Indiana's public dismemberment of Notre Dame instead

Here's an idea for the next Democratic president

merry near year my resolutions as always

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

In 2025 billionaires went from controlling the government to being the government and they still can't stop crying all the time

These stories are always constructed to imply there's some poor, well-meaning neocon single who isn't getting a fair shake, and as someone who spent their 20s in red states, I assure you that is a total fiction.

Uhm, no? Not possible but still a cool word.

@fourwholemoons.bsky.social Did you write this tagline?? Tell the truth.

And this is why we keep protesting, if for no other reason than to continue bearing witness and saying NO. We refuse to approve their evil laws and policies, we refuse to comply, we refuse to be quiet about any of this. And even when we lose, we will leave a mark.

We don’t need “good immigrants “ etc stories We need a place where people get to be people and we don’t become cops and regulators monitoring everybody’s everything for signs or authenticity

Last month, I wrote on all legislative races of 2025. There were still a few elections left in the year, however. But now, they're all done. And so we've updated the analysis: —Democrats flipped 25 legislative seats in 2025. That's 21% of the 119 GOP-held seats at play. —The GOP flipped 0.

This year I’m going to be kinder, more positive, work harder, and put more faith in myself until the very first minor obstacle throws me off for the next 350+ days

DHS publicly fantasizing about massive state violence should be taken seriously, and warrants labels such as fascist and white supremacist. But don't lose sight of the fact that it's beyond their capabilities. The regime's desire for authoritarian repression is bottomless. Its capacity isn't close.

Reminding myself today that what others, including those who say they love me, think of me isn't my business.

"Jose" is pruning pistachio trees in Merced CA. "There's a shortage of jobs, I was lucky to find one here. I have to buy my equipment. The only thing the company provides is the protective glasses. My arms get very tired by the end of the day from the heavy shears." #WeFeedYou

You got punched in 2025. You’re going to get punched in 2026. That’s Big Eyes’ resolution to us all.

It's really really hard to see clearly while you're still in the midst of struggle but to me the Tesla protests were essential, impactful and are strangely overlooked.

How I’m ending this year? Listening to multiple episodes of the @friendshipfactory.bsky.social podcast. It is the cure for whatever ails you, promise. 🩷🩷🩷

Control of the state apparatus, even if you're a bunch of mediocre pretty bumbling racist fools, gives an incredible advantage that surpasses such advantages in other times and in other parts of the world today. Things aren't impossible- but they are going to be very, very hard. Hope I'm wrong!

Therein lies the hardest part: as America enters the second quarter of the 21st century it is incredibly challenging to build alternative power and real centers of active resistance, and a lot of it is rooted in boring unsexy stuff like built space and transport/communication infrastructure

Most importantly they are not letting up, but my sense is that resistance is, if not flagging, hardly keeping track. The left in America has genuinely seen dynamism the likes of which we haven't seen for a long time, but we are still a looong ways from the kind of organization we are going to need

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

"...a white mob that, with the help of federal troops, killed hundreds of black sharecroppers in the town of Elaine, on the eastern edge of Arkansas." It's history that we never teach. The review opens with the story of a Black woman who had grown up in Elaine & had never heard about the massacre.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

MN GOP openly admitted today that they conspired with the racist YouTuber who ginned up these racist attacks

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

as is tradition, I post a countdown of my top 100 posts from the year, starting today with No. 100-81. hit the link! www.artbutmakeitsports.com/p/the-best-o...

“Deregistration could result in the forced closure of [non-governmental organizations’] operations within 60 days in Gaza and the West Bank. This would have a severe impact on access to essential services, including healthcare."

Go Birds Fuck Ice Free Palestine, #FILA edition

White men and women re-elected Donald Trump and are to blame for all this shit. It's pretty simple. Any other take is wrong.

It’s easy to look at Philly and Buffalo and see all the flaws, but consider: these coaches all have NFL jobs and Bill Belichick doesn’t

"Go ahead and block me." Already said I was going to, don't need your permission or approval, don't care about your opinion or anything you ever type ever, and do not remember your name or handle and so will never think of you again.

holy shit Cam Ward

The Cardinals started the season 2-0. Then they allowed the Charlie Kirk memorial to be held in their stadium. They're 1-13 since. A pox on this franchise

The Titans eternally break my heart. Or what's left of my heart.

I shouldn't type when I'm mad because I always end up with a typo. Grrr.

Why do so many men suck SO MUCH? Yeah AI is awful. But y'all are the ones who want this, so it's on YOU MEN to fix this. And I will block anyone who tries to the stupidity of "not all men."

Perhaps 2026 will be the year when everyone who thinks they can do something better than what's on offer will just go ahead and do it themselves.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

People on here profaning the talent of John Prine and my rage will know no bounds.

The Inequality in Hollywood is SHAMEFUL.

In 2023, approximately 51 million foreign-born people lived in the United States. Almost three-quarters were in the country legally. Half of the rest had some legal protection from deportation.

Just a reminder to not let those FSA dollars go back to the corporations. Someone needs medicine and tampons and you have until 12/31 to buy them.

producing a podcast will really have you writing down sentences like "COLLAR: pony Christianity confirmed?" as though this is what you're proud to leave behind

You guys don’t get it!! When Iowa plays like this it’s cute!!! When anyone else does it it’s cultural appropriation!!!

I should have foreseen the consequences* but I wouldn’t have altered my behavior**. *all of my pants are too tight **eating all the Christmas food/leftovers I can get my hands on
