Nothing is changing for you if you don’t want it to, Carol.

I have a lot of drunk thoughts, but I will not share them with you

Did Trump tell his cabinet, “Just don’t embarrass me by being competent?”

Narcissist gonna be narcissists. But everyone else doesn't have to enable them.

Ohio State can still win if Mike Pence has the courage

Everyone in the FBI has to ask themselves, “What did I do for Director Patel’s girlfriend’s drunk girlfriends today?”

Th Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops Pale in a saffron mist & seem to die And I myself on a swiftly tilting planet Stand before a glass & tie my tie… I stand by a mirror & comb my hair: How small & white my face!— The green earth tilts through a sphere of air And bathes in a flame of space

Going to a holiday dinner tonight, which means I'm dressed tiward the upper end of the many subtle gradations of "aloha attire" - the current year Spooner Mele Kalikimaka print, good dress slacks, dress shoes. This is different from the slightly less dressy, dockers/casual shoe workday aloha.

In which @bluespacecanary.bsky.social demonstrates that they've definitely got a firm grasp on both reality and reading comprehension

Exactly. Newsom translated is “we need to treat a lot of you as abnormal and we need you to be a lot less judgmental about it.”

really tired of everyone acting like it’s all just fine, this will just be over soon. and slightly less tired of everyone acting like it is all just horrible, and will never, ever end.

This is a very judgmental thing to say.

The fuck do you think "actually fight back" looks like?

Evangelical proof-texting at its finest. This is right up there with the dude who told me that it's not hypocritical for them to support someone like Trump after complaining about Bill Clinton's morals because Trump is clearly anointed by god the way David was which makes it OK.

Ok, Phyllis Schlafly

I concur, this is a great account

Pulling jewels out of the pomegranate turns out to be the best fall after-dinner activity with kids

Truly a great sunset day

i survived an excursion to see KATSEYE with a gaggle of tweens & moms at bill graham civic center. (such talented youngins. maximum spectacle- incredible set, lighting, wardrobes, dancing & fan vibes were adorable.)

“I just think, if you’re going to sustain this series, you need some pretty significant pivots every now and then.” crimereads.com/michael-conn...

this is a really excellent rundown of the many reasons for our current inequality in America, worth your time

1/ Interesting point. If you’re a billionaire, people don’t push back against your bad (or corrupt or inhumane) ideas very often. So when you DO get pushback, it’s the deadly and — at this point — meaningless “woke” at play.

Pierre Poilievre hates women and smirks at not only gender-based violence, but he thinks MMIWG being sexually assaulted is HILARIOUS. Now wonder all the red pillers flock to him. He’s their Temu tyrant

So you’re telling me, Netflix, that the CCNY victims paid $12 for that experience? $12 in 1991? Nirvana charged less than that in 1994. What a greedy bastardy Y’all watch the Diddy documentary yet?

(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

nice Christmassy

Also, gentle reminder that if you like my storytelling ways there are whole books available of suchness at QuinnCummings.com. If you're stressing the holidays my books manage to delight moms of both political spheres and I am not an evil corporation. I am just evil.

AI bros, man. Not even once. What a deeply insecure, incurious group of people.

Musk v. Tusk, Rick & Morty prescient as always. 😭

This Puff Daddy documentary on Netflix finally connects a lot of the dots for the gut instincts I had about the guy in the 90s never truly understood how someone so untalented became so influential. Even in the U.S. Spoiler: fucking sociopath

We’re saying Frohe Weihnachten again.

Oh to be a cat in a hanging window seat

William Boland's death in a hotel room was ruled a homicide in October. But @nickjudin.bsky.social is the first to report that, just before he was found beaten to death, he was placed on leave amid allegations of misconduct involving a student. That's why he was in a hotel—not living on campus.

There it is. Radicalization among Middle and Wealth Class MAGA is partially driven by an unbearable and deep-seated unhappiness that they don’t understand, couldn’t name, and is being released through violent fantasies that will turn into actual violence.

We’re saying Merry Christmas again.

according to the person third in line to the presidency and his wife, men’s brains are like waffles and women’s are like spaghetti * * actual analogy

I would NEVER bias anyone toward my own newsletter being on this list (20% subscription discount going on right now!) but I'm sure there are other fine outlets there too.

Marisa is not only an incredible journalist, she’s a wonderful comrade and colleague. Thanks for including @autonomynews.co in this guide!

Now it’s starting to make sense

Also let’s think about who owns stocks in these defence companies

I feel this so deeply but for law.

The culture war was red meat for yt ppl to gnaw on while they remake the whole system to remove your rights and commit war crimes All they had to do was play on ppl’s most basic instincts of racism and it was easy after that. Seems like only blk ppl we’re paying attention to the flanks

just got a new bike - my first chukudu

Bit of a curse for us, tbh

www.opb.org/article/2025... “Several demonstrators were never informed of the reason for their arrest and weren’t advised of their constitutional rights to an attorney or to remain silent.”

I just want to say y’all are fabulous today: making me think and laugh

I feel like before the week is out Trump will post an AI video about bombing Sabrina Carpenter on a boat.

I have an idea for a remake of an old movie about a mother & son grifting duo.

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” - 1984, George Orwell

Always exciting for the White House when they can be sycophantic and racist in one move: "National parks add Trump's birthday to list of fee-free days and remove MLK Day, Juneteenth" www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Weird how the administration who loves to release snuff videos is holding back on this one.

Worth noting that some of the people having their car windows smashed and dragged onto the pavement did immigration more "the right way" than the First Lady.

*meeting your friends that seem to like me* i bet they smell my friends

Wait a minute

You have to be a villain to commit the first strike on the boat. You have to be an absolute irredeemable monster to carry out the second one.

He could actually tell the truth and it would be a decent enough brag to make amongst all the bad economic news. But he can't help himself from exaggerating everything. It's just his hype man nature.

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

I love it when y’all educate me on some points and y’all do it in good faith. Keep it cool and tickle my brain! I’m a curious person by nature so don’t feel anyway about correcting me just don’t come at me hot. This ain’t Twitter

these gentlemen are foundationally unwell

Brown (Hispanic and South Asian) and Asian ppl are NOTORIOUSLY antiblack. This is not an opinion it’s a fact Basically anyone not blk hates blk ppl And that’s the world we’re navigating everyday. And I didn’t even bring up gender

My thinking right now is that I'll put one a week up here. They are nearly always free on my Patreon anyway so it's more for nostalgia than anything else.

Kid just described the employees at the jankiest retirement home she frequently runs on as a medic as, “Running like wood lice from a flashlight beam when I was trying to get patient details from them,” so just know that I am not the best storyteller in the family.

I wonder if this adherence to whiteness is more about running away from blackness more than running to whiteness

I didn’t know this so thank you

“Residents could stay up to seven years but must move if their employment with the district ends.” <— so, if you’re laid off then you also lose your housing. wish they could just build more housing & pay teachers decently out here.

I have yet to see a single royalty check from the documentary made about me (Avatar: The Way of Water, 2022)

Okay, I like this one. If I had to give money to one scammer I think I’d go with Wilson.

Okay, I've formally signed up for the Giving Pledge, sometimes considered the Billionaire's Pledge, though I've never been a billionaire, particularly after I gave away all my craigslist equity to my charitable foundation. www.givingpledge.org/pledger/crai...

Imagine being such an insecure, attention-craving, validation-starved manbaby that you have ZERO fucking clue how much of a pathetic fool you look like accepting a fake prize that was created for the sole purpose of stroking your fragile ego...

Wow, that’s a pretty big point of disagreement, NPR. Maybe someone could investigate which point of view is correct and report on the truth of the matter. Do you know anyone who does that sort of thing?

Germany is opening up the possibility of conscription
