On this #caturday @catticus.bsky.social is making banging beats with his little Roland drum machine.

Not a lot of shine on this edition of the Lakers-Celtics rivalry.

Sick Nazi Fucks

Enterprise Rent-A-Car license plate revoked after immigration agents illegally swapped it out. This follows our reporting on an encounter where a federal agent told a woman, “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/04/i...

"Can we all calm down for a minute? It appears my command to take no prisoners, exterminate all traces of life, and torch any semblance of international law has been misinterpreted. You shouldn’t rush to conclusions until you have all the facts."

6-year-old missing after ICE arrested him and his dad and shipped them off to separate facilities

Jalen Brown just carried the Celtics to victory against a team with an indisputably better roster.

Megyn Kelly says that simply murdering the survivors of a strike on a Venezuelan fishing boat isn't enough. She would prefer that they be subjected to extended torture to heighten their pain and agony. Megyn has captured the essence of what it means to be MAGA.

Where is Vicente Ventura Aguilar ??? It's been 55 days since Vicente Ventura Aguilar vanished after witnesses say he was arrested by ICE Goons in Los Angeles.

REPUBLICAN MAYOR IN KANSAS FACING DEPORTATION OVER VOTER FRAUD Joe Ceballos, a longtime Republican and small-town mayor in Kansas, is facing felony voter fraud charges and possible deportation from the presidential administration he voted for. Full story: https://bit.ly/4iwEwYj

The Giants’ interim coach is named Kafka, which makes me envious even though he pronounces it wrong.

My neighbor put a sign in her window asking what my cat’s name was. It was a lovely little bit of human interaction at a time when I really needed it.

I want you to understand that while news media and politicians were fearmongering every day about shoplifting in SF (while property crime was *down*), THIS was happening: "the inhalation of one-millionth of an ounce will cause cancer with a virtual 100% statistical certainty."

Not a bad day. I listened to my favorite MF Doom and Atmosphere tracks, which somehow became a Thanksgiving tradition for me in the Aughts. I ate great food. I saw my dad for the first time in like 4 years. About to pack the pipe with ganja.

This was disgusting

Happy Tofurkey Day to all who celebrate.

Become a millionaire or die early or never retire. Great options. Totally feasible.

The recent strikes on boats in the Caribbean are an extension of a long US tradition of interference in the region.

In today’s news from dystopia: An executive order that stands on a legal foundation of wishcasting tautology is getting us ready for an acceleration of climate change to bail out boneheads who gambled with people’s retirement funds that the beans they bought really are magic.

🇻🇪 Washington will designate Venezuela’s “Cartel of the Suns” as a foreign terrorist group on Monday, accusing President Nicolás Maduro, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and senior military officers of protecting and profiting from cocaine trafficking. The name refers to the gold sun badges worn...

WTF 🤬 ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

“Prosecutors think they’ve found a constitutional loophole — if you can’t punish reporting it, punish transporting it.” We wrote for @theintercept.com about how efforts to criminalize possession of words threaten press freedom.

Man, T— K— should have better things to do with his time. You don’t get royalties for arguing with anonymous trolls on the internet.

Gonna force myself to watch the Las Vegas Raiders game today as penance for, I can only assume, sins that I committed in past lives.

I have a hypothesis about Trump’s mental decline. Yes, he was always kinda dumb and maybe had a stroke. But he seems to have a habit of abusing stimulants and barely sleeping, then crashing and disappearing for 2 days. Years of chronic sleep deprivation can significantly impair cognitive ability.

🥺 MELIA needed some quiet time from the noisy shelter. A volunteer took her to their car. Please adopt her. She needs a peaceful adult only home. No dogs. Cats are ok. 3.5 years old. Around 50 lbs. Where's her hero (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793 [email protected]

The USA peaked when Taco Bell had an ad campaign promoting the idea of fourthmeal.

I was wondering whether all the fuss about the new Nuzzi article was playful exaggeration. I made the mistake of reading about two sentences, and now I want to cleanse my eyeballs with hydrogen peroxide.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

“A Cape Verdean mother from Rhode Island has spent nearly two weeks in detention at Boston's Logan airport. The federal government now plans to move her to a facility in Maine, as a court deadline expires for officials to explain why she remains in custody.”

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Finally started watching Welcome to Derry, and of course I like it so far. It’s like taking a long bath in Stephen King’s fictional world. Also, there’s a part with an obvious recreation of a stretch on Main Street in Bangor; this includes the building where I now rent office space. A cool part 1/2

Revisiting Radiohead’s Kid A & Amnesiac. Everyone I knew was super disappointed at the time, but by 2002 it was clear they were really good albums and the band just didn’t want to make Ok Computer 2. Some of the bleakest songs I’ve ever heard, though. Pyramid Song, Optimistic, Knives Out, etc. Oof.

Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This is easily an order of magnitude larger than the number of firings in the entire years-long 'cancel culture' panic. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Knee-buckling report from Justice Dept sources. "[T]wo pastors close to Trump have given their approval.... One of the attorneys said part of the operational plan involves undercover ICE and FBI agents attending and documenting church security plans." thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-tr...

So here’s an experience of Existing While Female in 2025. I need my roof and gutters cleaned. I called a bunch of places and most didn’t get back to me or were actually gutter cover companies that don’t actually clean your gutters unless you buy. Found a guy. He came for an estimate. And then:

This is a really informative podcast episode that I basically stumbled upon: it's by Molly Conger @socialistdogmom.bsky.social and could provide the thesis for a grad-school paper or something like that. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

“Soon you won’t see an Arab here. This is their plan.” In a Palestinian neighborhood of East Jerusalem, some 700 families are facing eviction by Israeli settlers with the backing of the state. www.972mag.com/batan-al-haw...

I may have said this on here before, but the “Epstein distraction” framing for Trump’s decisions is dangerously misguided. The White House is doing despotic things because despotism is the goal. Let’s say the records are released and implicate Trump. He’s not likely to resign or even stop his 1/x

Secret Boat Strike Memo Justifies Killings By Claiming the Target Is Drugs, Not People In a memo promising legal immunity for those who kill alleged drug traffickers, the Trump administration floated an unusual legal theory. theintercept.com/2025/11/14/b...

Izzy on #caturday

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

KAN aired new footage from the U.S. command in Kiryat Gat, where American troops are shown closely tracking activity in Gaza

The memo purportedly justifying these murders also contains a lengthy section that lays out arguments defending the actions of those carrying out the strikes. In short, it *preemptively* defends them from potential prosecution later. Experts say this is unusual. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2032...
