The richest man on the planet has a pinned tweet that's just straight up white nationalism. I can't say I miss Twitter!

the other thing is that he got radicalized when government regulations shut down his gambling haunts for a time because of the pandemic. this is downstream of that; this is all about someone who was forced to recognize they were part of the society that had made them wealthy & crashed-out instead

antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine. if it’s rising it means your society is failing. i haven’t had my coffee yet but im pretty sure i mostly actually do believe this.

Read about Ahmed al Ahmed, local fruit stall owner and savior of who knows how many lives. May we all be this brave and righteous in a crisis. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

In a broad sense, on a day like today, please take care of each other, stand with Jewish folks who are hurting after this horrific antisemitic attack, and reject any attempts to co-opt that pain and trauma to drive more division and hate. ❤️

Nice to see that Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback is allowed to once again just totally twist my words and falsely smear me as antisemitic with zero professional consequences. This is the second time she’s done this to me personally, and she’s done this to others too. Such an awful person.

Ahmed El Ahmed is a hero, is a hero, wow. Incredible courage in such a terrifying moment Thinking of the Jewish community after this horrific attack during such a special celebration 💔 I’m so sorry.

New data further indicating what many of us have been calling out: the MAGA coalition is fracturing and Donald Trump is weakening

i have more contempt for people who clearly harbor bigoted views but can’t accept this about themselves and contort themselves trying to pretend their bog-standard gutter hatred is some kind of complex intellectual schema. just say you hate jews. have some spine and self respect. my god.

Today is ALSO the day I learned that there's been escalating antisemitic violence across Australia. Mass shootings are SO rare there and I hope thorough investigation into this also sparks closer examination of how this came to happen in this context.

My god this Rob Reiner story is awful

Cat: *staring* Me: Lol. Stupid cat thinks it can send telepathic messages ... Me: I should replace the cat's water

they’re trying to silence me

I'm sure putting AI in everything won't have any negative effects

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight. For Rob Reiner, R.I.P. See you around. youtu.be/_UnQOfPwZfs

🤝 The points are shared in TW8!

A couple inches of heavy snow, pro: extremely happy dog Con: drooping wire sets tree on fire and knocks power out

GGGGOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!! CALVERT-LEWIN WITH THE HEADER!!

Supreme Court is currently weighing whether to hear a case that would bar states/localities from banning AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles that have frequently been used in mass shootings and a couple of cases challenging bans on large capacity magazines.

If a young comedic genius on the order of Rob Reiner were trying to break into film and TV today, the Ellisons, Zaslovs et al. would never let him in the door

Thinking today about how generous my Jewish friends are every year with Hanukah invites, welcoming me into their homes and celebrations. Devastating and awful to target people enjoying their community in beautiful summer weather on the beach.

I'll post some related things later, but this is kind of a big story: religionnews.com/2025/12/12/d...

I'm going to become a political consultant and tell Democrats they need to run moderates—but I'll come at it from a European perspective. Be a moderate, and support universal healthcare, free college, etc.

No one believes this. Johnson doesn't believe it. Also everyone knows that Johnson doesn't believe it. Almost no one is a libertarian, yet the libertarian fantasy versions of health care and gun rights continue to immiserate us.

i also think it’s mclellan-brained and i’d remind everyone that mclellan went on to run against lincoln as the candidate for surrender and appeasement.

Lucky is 11 in human years today! Everyone say happy birthday.

If the words “Zionism” or “Israel” cross your lips in talking about the Bondi Beach massacre, then you’re a Jew-hating ghoul, and I don’t want to know you.

what's up with the grinch becoming freakishly popular/ omnipresent in the cultural imagination

watching the small-c conservative anti-trump people absolutely refuse to tell a straight white boy who is a christian chauvinist to stfu and get over it and take care of their shit has been a real vindication for anyone who thought their calls for minorities to be more personally responsible were BS

📋 Your #LUFC XI...

I'm sure Albert Brooks is devastated. They were good friends since they were young

every time i see bovino my brain needs a half nanosecond to realize i am not looking at a lesbian from the bay area, AMA

I think we’ve seen enough evidence (elections, polling, cultural vibes) to definitively say the right has significantly overplayed their hand since the 2024 election and it’s backfired on Trump and the Republican Party pretty spectacularly

I work from home in part because I need to take lying down breaks because my fatigue is rough.

🔥 Back on level terms!

"It’s as if the sheer scale of this wealth, which beggars even the riches of the Gilded Age, has induced a kind of class sociopathy... as the MAGA moment emboldens them to drop any pretense of civic virtue and just go full will-to-power, their nutty ideas are now borderline plausible."

Does not look like I’m alone in concluding this has been one of the most depressing news weekends in a while

Do you want to feel like a teenager again and probably bawl? You are in luck! @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's 50 best songs of the year is out Well worth the price of admission for this one post each year, I have listened to No. 1 seven (7) times now www.welcometohellworld.com/the-best-50i...

*walking down the sidewalk* Me: Abolish this ice am I right *everyone punches me in the face*

The weird thing about this is that NYTimes verified the video, but seemingly not the person in it? Lots of technical reasons for that (e.g., perhaps still working on that, and verifying the clip in the meantime is still newsworthy), but still weird.

Lucky brings baby seal vibes to the party when he’s sleepy.

I won't refer to Rob Reiner as the guy who played "Bill (voice)" on Frasier, even though he would have loved that joke

Insinuating that it is logical for antisemitism to rise because people are justifiably horrified by the Israeli government's actions just justifies violence, including murder, of Jewish people. Hatred of Jewish people as a group is never logical.

Happy Hanukkah. Here's Larry David holding a shofar

The thing is, a lot of American news consumers have been primed to expect a rapid collapse. This is less a Jenga tower situation and more like a cardboard straw beginning to disintegrate from the bottom up

This is a thing that's always happening. evanhurst.substack.com/p/heather-co...

Been offline and just got done watching my nightly dose of Super Password, where one the guests this week in 1986 was…Sally Struthers. First thing I see when I check BlueSky: @sepinwall.bsky.social posting about Rob Reiner. I’m also hoping against hope it’s not true, though it appears to be. Awful.

Several conservatives have a decent track record opposing Trump, but David French keeps dropping tells like this because he was always a piece of shit.

👊 BOSS!

A beautiful eulogy of Rob Reiner by @sepinwall.bsky.social

don’t worry tho. gambling addicts are well-known for their high ethical and intellectual standards.

⏱️ Ticking down to kick-off!

What a mensch www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yep. And you can see how it's meant to work in the full-court-press lying campaign about Gaza -- which was supposed to intimidate everyone from telling the truth, but wound up destroying most Americans' faith in Israel instead. edroso.substack.com/p/lying-to-o...

Chile of all places electing a fascist. The thing about the bad guys is they never go away, the fight is maybe never going to be over

👏🤩 100 #LUFC appearances!

Clears throat. This plan was obvious from the beginning.

🇸🇪 Gabi in the house!

in seriousness, i see silver’s career as a damning testament to our collective failures and weaknesses—our desire to escape the reality of politics and outsource our thinking and decision-making to yet another snake oil salesman pretending to be a prophet. the guy himself is banal & archetypal.

The annual abortion on TV report is always a great read; really troubling to see us going backwards on this.

this is quite a run right here:

🤩💫 TANAKA!

knives out 3 was the best one so far for sure imo. 3 > 1 > 2. where 1 has a nice mix of cleverness and feeling it pales in comparison to multiple moments from 3; and the second movie was all red herrings & winking satire, like a hater’s caricature of the first movie.

Witnessed a somber yet resolute lighting of the National Menorah on the Ellipse earlier today.

"Personally, this last year has radicalized me. I’ve always thought of myself as a pragmatic progressive... But having now lived in the future that Donald Trump, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg want, I’m done with incremental thinking and actions." open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

lol no. It's not fixable, but I wouldn't fix it if I could

Bari Weiss and her paymasters at 'CBS News' believe they can force whatever they want down people's throats but clearly it ain't working

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on the Australia mass shooting: “Suicidal empathy led the West to import the seeds of our own destruction…. Shared values and shared culture are our strength, not diversity, and certainly not tolerating imported barbarism.”

'There is a certain type of person who sees a hole and perceives it to be a trash can, where others have seen the potential for a garden.'

Teachers should show this illustration to their students because it *perfectly* captures why LLMs are poisonous to learning!

I feel like we all moved past this really quickly because this guy knew (some) shame and resigned, but the Jeopardy situation was clearly the Rosetta Stone for all elite behavior into the future

🔥 Getting warm!

💫 DCL!

5️⃣ minutes to go!

A winter wonderland, things of that nature

some people seem to think my post about antisemitism was a request to engage in an oppression olympics debate and tbh no it was not that i can think of very few things i like doing less than that

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social please enjoy this extremely unsettling FYP find.

well, at least he’s (evidently) aware his reputation is pretty cooked.

oh great, thanks, good to know

Idk if it used to be different in the past, but I think nowadays Presbyterians are primarily marked by the shambolic nature of our Christmas pageants and our outright refusal to make them logical or organized at all. And I love it

Menorah lighting was packed.
