On January 6, my kid was at a park with her day camp a few blocks away from the Capitol when the building was stormed, and the hour or so until we got her home was the most terrifying time of my life. Fuck all of those treasonous motherfuckers.

Anyone know what’s going on with this giant fireworks show in DC right now?

Anyway, seeing other people talk about their sobriety was one thing that helped me finally get sober, so I’ll just say that I hadn’t had a drink in 4 years, 1 month, and 9 days, and I’m grateful for every one of those days. DMs always open if anyone wants to talk.

One of the stories I tell in meetings is having a real “oh no” moment when I looked up the actual definition of heavy drinking and saw it was anything more than an average of 2 drinks per day.

what the fuck

Andrew Lloyd Weber has a chance to do the funniest thing ever

This is perfect hospitality

I feel like any movie with snow is plausibly a Christmas movie. Alive. The Revenant. Fargo. Misery.

I’m honestly shocked support is still this high. People shouldn’t hit their kids.

Chasid reflux

Kinda insane how much Watchmen 2019 nailed it.

When you write, "We're Alive" on some of your holiday cookies, you're actually helping promote safety not just making everyone at the party feel unsettled, so that's one more good deed before the year ends.

This one is art.

Boxing is problematic etc etc but Anthony Joshua cracking a smile as he lines up his kill shot on Jake Paul is giving me life

Total employment in the oil and gas industry in the US is also only ~120k, and has declined almost 40% in the past decade. There just aren’t a lot of jobs here.

Banning medical care for trans kids doesn’t stop them from being trans. It just makes their lives into a horrible nightmare.

hey it's jerry! from the bluesky app store page. wait where are you going

Looking through Rob Reiner’s otherwise amazing filmography, I found this unintentionally funny line.

My kids are currently getting mad at me for not explaining why I’m laughing

boats are boys, but sailboats are girls. Also, cars are girls but bicycles are boys. rooms are girls but living rooms are boys (houses are girls)

This is an achewood plotline

since driving discourse is raging on the timeline, i guess it's time to reup this, the greatest op ed the NYT ever ran

Those Navy commercials from the early 2000’s were all bangers youtu.be/iNmKhlw4TAw?...

Caleb James is taking preorders for a new batch of wooden spokeshaves, it’s the first time in 5 years or so that he’s made these. If you have any interest at all in hand tools you should get one, it is an absolute joy to use. calebjamesmaker.com/shop/spokesh...

Oh no

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

People under 30 should not be allowed to Have Takes (I say that about a quarter seriously)

It’s really good. Darker, more serious tone, lower joke density, also there is an incredibly silly Scooby Doo joke that is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in a movie.

Well, this should be interesting www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

listen to me. listen to me right now. if you don't know what this tweet means, just close your device. don't look anything up. go for a walk. return in a week. if you don't listen to me, your life will be ruined and i can't be held accountable

always remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights this book was written in 1996 by a 48 year old British man and no cis person in 2025 has a single goddamn excuse to behave differently

trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

And like... this is the shit that never gets accounted for in tenure applications for women. How many times you were trying to have men treat you as colleagues with ideas and they were not serious about anything except trying to fuck your body.

Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…

The ideal gambling venue should look and smell like the worst decision you've ever made in your life. I support one single exception to the indoor smoking ban in NY for this purpose. RETVRN.

The album art is perfect

It’s a little ironic that you also say “I do” at your divorce hearing when they swear you in.

~Every ash tree in the country will be dead within the next couple decades because of the emerald ash borer. 75% of the ash trees in the DC area are already gone.

Need a museum curator bold enough to show this in its appropriate context

“but he died. ? !”

Called it

Called it

And it’s not just making a good latte, it’s doing it 300 times in a row on a Sunday farmers market day with a line down the block and no air conditioning. I loved the job, but it was not easy.

Never Forget

The worst way to learn the next day is a federal holiday is from the person you’re counting on to care for your kids at the end of the day.

Predator Badlands understands that the secret to a good Predator movie is 70 minutes of toxic masculinity and 30 minutes of "toxic masculinity has failed, time to build elaborate booby traps."

Agreed, but related to this: SCOTUS, Congress, and the president should all be paid dramatically more than they are now. It would not be unreasonable to pay them like the college football coaching staff at a public university: say $10M/yr for the president, $1.5M/yr for SCOTUS, $750k/yr for Congress

To be noted: right now there are states where app-based sports gambling doesn’t exist, like WA. We still get all the ads during the national broadcasts, but we can’t download or use the apps. I would love to see data about foreclosure rates and Gen Z and Alpha debt-to-income ratios vs gambling laws.
