This comic was so moving! And educational!

The sun rises. It is always doing that.

Oh you think you’re ACAB well what if we gave a CFPB lawyer a tank? What then?

There is no such thing as a “starter pet” — some of the animals regarded as such are in fact extremely hard to care for.

What Ken White said – Miller wants to say "Race Traitors." Happy to wear that sash across my chest. Mab Segrest wrote the book on it, Memoir of a Race Traitor: Fighting Racism in the American South. [Link to the book is in the following post.]

Waste of drywall mud you ask me

"Immunologic amnesia." Measles causes impaired immune memory. Your immune system works. But it has forgotten what it previously learned. Your previous vaccinations, infections, and exposures? Oops. Now, you're starting from scratch.

I took this in October in the Smokies, near Laurel Top, and I don’t think I ever looked it until today.

i swear it feels like they do these events now like a dozen times a year

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

Govt lost. Hugely. Embarrassingly. At 7 pm last night, they demanded he show up at 7:30 am today. His poor lawyers. They filed an emergency motion last night Judge has f'ing had enough. 7 am today, she blocked them. "The Court’s narrowly crafted remedy cannot be so quickly and easily upended."

Why Trump’s AI EO Will be DOA in Court

This is a bait post but it’s so bad it’s fine to dunk on. Media reporters should be asking editors how this saw the light of day as well as what The Atlantic’s policy is on screaming racist slurs at customers. Talk to the Newsguild / CWA about how anti-worker this take is, too.

Episode 6 is live! This week, we will head to Arnold, Missouri and talk to the executive director of Gateway Food Pantry on the SNAP food crisis. #FairFearlessFree #LocalJournalism www.newsfromthestates.com/episode/why-...

'She participated in a TikTok "Devil trend" on Saturday, Dec. 6, in which she asked ChatGPT to reveal her biggest flaws and insecurities.'

The photo on the left is from a “modeling event”… one of the women spoke to BBC’s Panorama, other photos from the same event are included youtu.be/sB0IpYuYzk0?...

[stringer bell voice] Are you taking photographs of a criminal fucking conspiracy?

if i ever tell you the Atlantic is interested in publishing some thing i wrote please cut off all my internet access for at least one (1) month

Well that's either willful negligence or ineptitude.

Ungodly sums of money being spent on Workday -- hundreds of millions of $ per higher ed institution (!!). And everyone seems to hate it. What gives? This article has some answers. The summary: "Customer service is Workday's goal. It's just that the customer isn't you."

Gender affirming care, but only for cis people I guess. 19thnews.org/2025/12/test...

i failed "no atlantic article december"

in order to have a society you have to have like, basic rules for society. "don't be insanely racist to customers at your job" seems like a pretty low bar? like if i went into a meeting and called people slurs and stuff, i should at the very least be disciplined or fired.

Excellent way to confront an administration official here.

hm I'm a socialist as well and I think being extremely racist to customers is reasonable grounds for being let go. Workers of all kinds deserve better protections, but we can see what you're doing choosing this as your news peg to argue that otherwise good point in the fucking Atlantic.

Hear me out: hold them till 1/6

The Time cover illustrates that, like any poorly executed magazine cover, there was no considered discussion about covers as artifacts that should prompt reactions beyond the simplest interpretation of the work. The cover simply contains a reduction of the meaning of an original work it copies

Honestly heartbroken to see Philip Ahn and Gloria Swanson on that list of stars.

Here's a video I did about Arlington, Texas becoming one of the first places in the nation to remove citywide anti discrimination protects for LGBTQ protections: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

On top of everything else, "I'd like to think that even if a worker was racist to my face" really gives the game away: an intellectual exercise in fluffing one's own ego rather than a recognition of something that a.) really happens and b.) really *happened*

Spending some time under the world's best heated, weighted blanket. I cannot believe she hasn't had any adoption applications. 🥺

for clarity, this is illegal under The Civil Rights Act. The Civil Rights Act of 1866, specifically.

Agents claim they ID'ed themselves as DHS. Having watched 100s of abduction videos, if true, that would be a very rare occurrence. Whereas, we know their S.O.P. is lying. The woman told agent she was driving to a police station. Man called 911 on the way. Agent "feared" he was being abducted. 🙄

When Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani takes office on January 1, he will immediately feel the crushing weight of the housing crisis, including 25 years of astronomical rent inflation and 350,000 New Yorkers who don't have homes...but we've got some ideas to help him ameliorate this hell.

A lot of MAGA folks are getting frustrated. Michael Flynn tweeted this to Jim Jordan; I see similar complaints all the time; this is a handy list tho of who they want locked up.

Vulnerable GOP Rep. Andy Ogles blamed local judges for a rape in Nashville and posted their names and photos online. The courthouse had to increase its security in response given the risk of violent reprisals. The full story at @notus.com.

If using ChatGPT exacerbated mental health problems that Claire Tracy that already had, it's yet another case of AI being involved in a young person's death. We shouldn't have to be guinea pigs for technology foisted upon us by Silicon Valley billionaires. www.chron.com/sports/colle...

For a piece I’m looking for Hell World readers to write in with One Good Thing from 2025. Can be anonymous. Hit me up.

Nothing like the sound of someone’s smile going away on a phone call. Still beats dealing with people who hide it better.

If you're interested!

Thanks for always having my back buddy. 💔

I made a shitty canva gift guide! You should come have a drink this weekend and do your holiday shopping while you're here. 🎁

We live in hope!! AND remain steadfast in the work! The reason fewer & fewer people are willing to to help them is because alla us out here have been stomping through the streets, townhalls, ICE abductions, & every public space online & off refusing fascism. We're the people we were waiting for 💪

leslie wexner, by the way, the guy who claimed repeatedly that he only hung out with epstein for tax advice

This is very much the shift that's overtaken me this year, especially since October and November. At the beginning of the year, I was forcing myself through despondency by being grimly determined. Now there's nothing grim about it. They're going to lose. We are going to win. No kings in America.

@apnews.com: Iran arrests Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, supporters say

This is TODAY, friends, from 4-7 pm at Chinatown Soup in Manhattan! Dontcha dare miss it!

The day may come on which @evangreer.bsky.social's "Hellraiser" doesn't make me cry every time I hear it, but today is manifestly not that day.

New: At a Wednesday meeting of the Religious Liberty Commission in Dallas, Dallas pastor and Trump ally Robert Jeffress railed against the IRS, and an executive from his church called for the Johnson Amendment to be repealed or overturned in court: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Lack of accountability is a defining feature of the Trump administration. They don’t think they should have to explain or justify any of their actions, and they also refuse to accept any responsibility for anything negative (thus the insistence of bringing up Biden as a villain at every turn).

Larson has a high miss-to-hit ratio -- show me anyone doing single page gag cartoons who doesn't, it's a really tough medium -- but when he hit, it was inevitably out of the park

Lots more in our new Digest: • Far-right pillow salesman Mike Lindell joins race for governor of Minnesota • The biggest self-funder in the history of the House wants his old seat back, but his successor isn't going anywhere willingly • A major rematch battle is underway in blue North Carolina seat

Places like the Ismaili Center play an essential role in cosmopolitan cities like Houston. They provide venues for respect, public education, and peaceful coexistence.

Donald Trump suffered one of the biggest failures of his political career on Thursday when a MAJORITY of Republicans in the Indiana Senate rejected his months-long bullying campaign and voted down a new congressional gerrymander.

This is a rough read but it is very much a look for the helpers focus.

they're some good tabs!

If we accede to the demand that political appointees can decide what is worthwhile to study and what isn't, we've lost universities as institutions of knowledge, innovation, and progress. This is why academic freedom and tenure are so important.

Generative "A.i." is actually evil.

Hey remember when the US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed evidence of “treasonous conspiracy” by the Obama administration? That was almost five months ago, weird that the whole story just faded away, no arrests or nothing.

Today is Friday, Dec 12 Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

Unbelievable achievement!

Had a very weird thought, which is not literally true but feels kind of spiritually true: "Is Donald Trump the first White president?" i.e one elected in direct reaction to the first black one, as part of a basically direct appeal to white supremacy rather than a product of its structural inertia

Yesterday I walked out of my yard and there was a fucking cybertruck parked in my barnyard and a dude yammering on his way to it from one of our barns. Turns out a mutual had hired him on fiver to bring some boxes out here for storage. Cybertruck guy on fiver. So delicious.

Slightly ridiculous question: is Donald Trump the first White president

Fucking pumped man let’s fucking go

““Her written reports for the Guardian provided vital coverage of a war most journalists were banned from witnessing,” they said. “Working alone, she faced deprivation, the constant risk of bombs and the threat of targeted attack for their work.””

Maybe Nuzzi’s book didn’t sell because it has no chapters

Honestly? I would be kind of interested to see someone stage an all-white production of Hamilton. I think the results would be *fascinating.*
