i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.

these stupid assholes think they’re going to be able to have a firefight in the morning, walk away from a cool explosion at lunch and take the family out to chili’s for dinner and I cannot stress enough that is not what civil war looks like

This man did a photo opp of himself destroying homeless people's last possessions.

Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.

guess who is now officially an Austrian (and by extension EU) citizen, along with both my children

It might be snowy but we’re still knocking doors!!! Come join our second shift at Winnemac Park at 1 PM!

Did everyone else have that one guy in their high school who would casually bring up that, theoretically, he didn’t think cannibalism was a big deal, and might actually solve some of the world’s problems, or was it just me

Imagine thinking that people come to America to "access unlimited welfare for life"

a type of content that makes me want to launch myself into space and is huge part of why everything is so bad: TikToker goes down a “rabbit hole,” makes 9-minute video. The “rabbit hole” was she found an Eater article. The Eater journalist did all the work: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruBS8cp/

It’s on sight with Sarandos fils

I love this random exoplanet youtuber who starts all of his videos like "for those of you who've been living under a ROCK" and then talks about the most obscure shit.

Unreal levels of civic engagement happening here

Elon does not fundamentally believe that any government or governing body should be allowed to constrain or regulate him in any way and he is deploying all of the vast resources at his command to make it so governments should act accordingly

It is fun to go to the movies

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

i’m not thrilled tbh

We had the boys pick out toys that could go to Toys For Tots, explaining that some kids weren’t as lucky as they were at Christmas, etc. Then the eight year-old hit me with the ol’ “well, isn’t Santa going to bring them toys?” and, man, Santa is definitely hard to reconcile with a sense of charity.

it's good that we have hellfire missiles to defend ourselves from two guys hanging on to a capsized boat, who knows what might have happened otherwise

die-hard | adjective | strongly or fanatically determined or devoted Die Hard | noun | a Christmas movie

transphobia is a luxury belief afforded to the affluent Very Online dipshits currently ruining our country and even your average bigot would rather vote on his pocketbook you will not be punished for your moral clarity, so find some

I’m in favor of this but only for financial crimes

in august i posted: "when the dust settles on this football season, the indiana hoosiers will be the top-ranked team in the nation, and the colts, led by daniel jones, will be a super bowl contender! it's all coming up indiana! i am jon." unfortunately, this post was deleted by a computer spam virus

Counter proposal: public hangings of tech billionaires.

so there are different colleges? i always heard people say “going to college,” which made it sound like there was just one of them, like “going to france” or something. but if there are lots of different colleges they need to come up with different names and colors and such so we can tell them apart

I refuse to hand it to Cuellar but this is hysterical is there no honor among comically corrupt politicians? what is the world coming to?!

true crime podcasters should have a clearance rate except if you’re not able to solve the crime you’re not allowed to do more podcasts

i don't think that they should put indiana in the playoff

Not that I have a ton of sympathy for Olivia Nuzzi but this is insane framing: "Woman who complained about privacy violations gets her privacy violated." nypost.com/2025/12/03/u...

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch “He didn’t look around, and watch and learn, and then say, ‘This is how people are, how do we deal with it?’ No, he sat and thought: ‘This is how the people ought to be, how can we change them?’ And that was a good enough thought for a priest but not for a copper…”

Elon Musk is pushing a Russian talking point about the dissolution of the European Union on X. (The man agreeing with him is a former president of Russia and current deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.)

i subscribed to the red zone channel in order to hear the latest about draftkings, but i'd conservatively estimate that 75% of the broadcast has nothing to do with draftkings. they keep trying to shoehorn in all these football games. i don't like football. i don't watch football. what is this shit

LOL

Fun that that this country is burning down because a handful of emotionally stunted dudes were furious they can’t get laid without living up to the low bar standard of “don’t be a fucking weirdo”

With alt text. This is Vance-ism/Theil-ism more than Trumpism, though it works well for Donald, too, because it puts him in the position to try to lord over each head of state, which is all he really cares about.

nice bit you got there. be a shame if i asked you to explain it to me

This Joe Lonsdale? Calling for public hangings? stanforddaily.com/2019/03/15/s...

deep down, he believes we are all good chaps and he believes it hard enough that everyone wants to live up to it, just a little, just for him

you can join Woke 2 or you can see your career fall before it

Quite the shift from "I think if you do something bad you should die" immediately to "as they say in the Bible..."

just to give yall an idea of what we’re walking through

Hello from the Emerald City (the Hotel Del Coronado, which served as inspiration for L. Frank Baum's famous Oz books, and where he wrote a lot of them)

every picture of bari weiss looks like an irritating precocious child up past bedtime pestering the guests

Last Saturday, 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth organization of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police beat the blockaders.

it's not a Waffle House, it's a waffle home

Labour Party might want to look into a name change

computer culture

This branch of the culture has totally lost the idea of masculine virtue being defined against vices that are also masculine

It is legitimately funny that Trump expected to be picking up another Republican seat in Texas in exchange for a pardon, and Cuellar was just like "nah." So rare to see someone treat Trump like he treats everyone else. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Mamdani releases video overviewing Know Your Rights if you see ICE + promises to protect New Yorkers and the right to protest, specifically in response to anti-ICE action last Saturday that stopped a massive raid. Comes following question from me asking for his comment on that action.

Very weird that all the guys Tarantino hates seem to be well-liked and respected by their peers for not just their talent but the way they treat crew, fans, etc.

We're taking the dogs to get pictures with Santa. Let's see if they go any better than last year. Lol

This is a really good piece! (though I am once again begging people to move off Substack)

The 13th Amendment did not abolish slavery. The 13th Amendment did not abolish slavery. The 13th Amendment did not abolish slavery. It is still permissible for the punishment of a crime.

i finally got to see hans holbein's portrait of cromwell in person at the frick and went into a fugue state about it. i ran towards it so fast i almost tripped on my huge pants. wolf hall means so much to me as like the best writing craft of all time and i just. kicked agoraphobia's ass, to see it

Anne Boyer's "What Resembles The Grave But Isn't" is tattooed across my soul. "This is not your grave, get out of this hole." billmoyers.com/story/poetry...

i could be the most cringe verified user on here. only if bluesky had the courage

Work it, Marty McFly

Just a top to bottom scam, to raise money for a candidate who can’t run again.

as usual this did not work, nor did "do something you want to do only slightly less than you don't want to do the thing", but "take your ADHD meds and finish the five-minute task you've been procrastinating on all day" remains undefeated as a tactic

Knives out 3 was wonderful

The Casablanca Cinematic Universe is going to become a thing now, huh?

alludes

Hmm. NY Times popup saying "support independent journalism." I... do not think of the NY Times as being "independent journalism" which implies smaller, outside the mainstream. The NYT is the most mainstream of mainstream news orgs.

But Elon Musk said it would be easy to fix it if they went too far. Can't imagine why people are rushing back.

Shop now while you can still make good decisions!

Shrooms, at the not-legal-yet-but-neither-are-we-looking retailer in Kits

Ross Douthat, architecture critic vs. Reality

Nobody writes letters anymore, this is a mail loneliness crisis

Really? Because I read Stranger in a Strange Land when I was maybe 16 and there were so many references to queer people being pathetic “little in-betweeners” and how they would never be part of their group. And I remember thinking, “So gay sex isn’t acceptable, but cannibalism is?”

Two minutes later, they ate him

WRONG!....oh wait, no, this is completely correct and something we all used to believe

me - “Ahhh, I shall sleep in this Sunday morning, for once I have no super early soccer game and I can relax.” my body - HAHA WAKE UP DIPSHIT IT’S 6:45

sometimes someone reposts something I don't even remember writing, and I am amused by my own words

Somehow, every week, I forget that Sunday morning is when lying, disingenuous politicians go on TV news shows to be interviewed by ill-prepared, journalists who don't ever hold anyone's feet to the fire. And then I wake up and it's clips galore. Why is this a thing?

Newsom's morality is his problem. So the only case for him is that "HE CAN WIN." Much of this lies in his white male bland handsomeness. Centrists think that solves Dems' "cultural issues." What this gets wrong is that 2028 must be about corruption. And he's on the opposite side of that.

To be fair, there are some weirdos who envy him, and he surrounds himself with those folks. But it's a small group and you can kinda tell he hates all of them and is desperate for others to like him.

The Prime Minister of Poland appeals to US and publicly questions whether “something has changed” to make the US no longer a European ally. The Deputy Prime Minister responds to Musk saying the EU should be abolished by telling him to “Go to Mars. There's no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified. People say it abolished slavery, but it didn’t. Slavery still exists as a punishment for a crime. Alabama fast food restaurants have incarcerated people working for little to no money. The Louisiana State Penitentiary has inmates in fields.

Any Democrat who is not campaigning on ensuring Pete Hegseth and those following his orders are tried for capital murder is not worth voting for at this point.

On Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, AI slop videos of simulated ICE arrests are going viral among the sadists who enjoy that sort of thing. Meanwhile here's my US Senator, showing us the ugly reality of of what these thugs are doing. Thank you, Senator Murray. We have to end this.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

My argument against the playoff from its introduction is that it's the only postseason in college sports that doesn't offer a bid to every conference champion and that remains true

did he really plonk his hideous participation trophy right on the desk, we truly live in the stupidest timeline

A crew in Mettler, CA is harvesting peppers on a cloudy damp autumn day. They tell us, detaching the tough stem from the fragile plant is difficult as you could harm the plant if you're not careful. #WeFeedYou

Was on a home tour today & while in the kitchen of a house that had a Basquiat in the living room @lynnhurtak.com nudges me. “Is that… who I think it is?” And indeed it was; this homeowner had a portrait of Luigi Mangione hanging in their kitchen (no artist signature)

This is neither here nor there, but because this came up in a random conversation yesterday, and sometimes I think everyone could use a distraction of something fun and entertaining mixed in with your doomscrolling, here is the best card trick ever performed on TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Kc...

I'm worried Paramount isn't done pursuing CNN yet.

I just saw an ad for chia pets 1. those are still a thing? 2. why the fuck is there a bitcoin chia pet?!

Well, if that’s coming from a senior government official…

Catching up on this week's SCOTUS oral arguments, and an attorney addressed Justice Kagan as Justice Kennedy, so that's new

Well, Joe, Mark Zuckerberg has sole control over Facebook, which directly enabled the Rohingya genocide. So let’s have the conversation.

Unsurprisingly, procrastinating all day has not made the thing I need to do spontaneously resolve itself. Maybe if I procrastinate another half hour it will?

Was in the McDonald's drive-thru and saw this absolute masterpiece

What do we even need a playoff for anymore

This thread is full of video that is "awesome" in both the colloquial *and* the original sense of the word

One hundred percent and then they immediately go off crying to their mommies about it, except now the stand-ins for their mommies are people like Bari Weiss

Sarah, to me: Babe, go out and have a cigarette, there's a fire truck and two cop cars blocking in a SUV at the light and I wanna know what's happening.
