It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I don’t watch much football, so this and the Denver game are the only two times I’ve seen this Patriots team play. Can someone better informed explain how tf they got here

Has TikTok discovered Elliott Smith yet? Seems like a weird oversight if not

No matter what stage of the Epstein saga we’re in, the former prince Andrew’s involvement is always somehow a billion times more blatant than anyone else’s

Something unseemly about Beatles in a Starbucks ad

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

We are now The Donald J. Trump and America Memorial Center

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

What explains the fixation with “the protesters must be paid” on the right? Is it that hard for them to imagine their political opponents might care about stuff? No matter how much of a red bubble they live in, surely most of them have met a sincere lefty or two

come on over guys, we're going to listen to xtrmntr and watch compilations of nazis slipping

Chicago’s got that Alex Bregman magic now

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Decided to see what’s on the Criterion livestream and I’m just in time for the last ten minutes of Stroszek. Appropriate!

X really is completely indistinguishable from Stormfront 20 years ago

I had an interesting, nuanced conversation with Bela Fleck about why he isn't playing at the Kennedy Center. "Not canceling is taking a side," he says, and he wants to be nonpolitical. Here's a gift link to the piece: wapo.st/49szcRI

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.

They will do things until they are physically stopped.

Say what you want about Steve Jobs, but can you imagine him shipping iOS with this kind of bullshit

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

So have we freed Q Lazzarus’s kid?

Fittingly, 2025 comes to a close with 6-7 inches

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Dry the Rain is actually not a bad choice

Just saw a Botox commercial where a woman talked of her “moderate to severe lines” like it was diagnosis “This is the worst part of my job. I’m sorry to tell you that you have stage four crows feet”
