Tell my wife I said, "hello".
For me, the last truly great Mandalorian episode. Miss this level of dedicated storytelling in that show rather than leaning so hard into fan service.

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.

Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Part of the right wing sales pitch was "Liberals are annoying" but they quickly proved they are infinitely more irritating, it's not even close
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Behold, an elderly man in the throws of complete cognitive decline. He is living in an extended delusion that’s being fed and encouraged by the sycophants around him, so that they can run the country for their own evil purposes.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government.

birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.
also, let’s say wurman is right. well, we have had nearly 160 years of unlimited birthright citizenship that has been affirmed again and again by generations of Americans. whatever the original intent, that is what the birthright clause *means*.

*This* more than anything else is the lasting legacy of Trump/MAGA. More conservatives just openly, shamelessly revel in their cruelty and bloodthirst than ever before. These people need to be banished from public life in order to kill this movement.
"I’d really like to see them suffer."

“It’s just better for us to kill them in the ocean, make them shark feed, be done with it. Merry Christmas.”

As lawmakers dig for answers about the Pentagon's strikes, some are celebrating the brutality.

Sara Pichelli is such a good comic artist. Even if she wasn't as good as she is, this treatment of her would be fucked up. Comic creators still getting hosed by the powers that be in 2025, unreal.

The mistreatment of comic creators isn't new and this shouldn't be a surprise - and yet the anger still kicks in.

This is awful. As someone who was there from Day 1 reading Miles & seeing how big of a character he is now - Sara deserves more than credit for that.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

🇸🇩🇺🇸 Sen. Van Hollen blasts the Trump administration for selling arms to the UAE while its Sudan allies continue to massacre children, pointing to the RSF attack on a kindergarten yesterday that killed at least 80 people, including 46 children (latest update from AJE).
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
