Trump on the turkeys he's about to pardon: "I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck and Nancy. But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't care what Melania told me."

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

It hits different when they're arresting white women. They signed up to terrorize Black and brown people.

Fancy ginger beer is one of Iife's greatest pleasures.
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!

You know you're too online when you initially learn about shitty Christian Nationalist podcaster Andrew Wilson and lament that your favorite Wilson brother has fallen so far from the glory days of "Whip It."
I am so very happy to be mistaken.

I have been leaning into music as my anxiety has been spiking lately (because of *waves hands*) and it truly does make a difference 💞
Go to that gig. listen to that song, dust off that record player, learn to play that guitar.
Music helps us through. Life can be overwhelming at times. Music can help, I promise you that

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context

I have been looking at Black Friday sales for a week but I do not actually need anything so instead I closed all those tabs and bought a Polaroid for a foster kid in Florida who uses photography to deal with big feelings. Perhaps you would like to do the same for one of the kids at the link below?
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

It’s always about the racism. Particularly targeting Black people and Black woman. They stole the term woke from Black culture, fucked its meaning, and used it to stoke anger. Utter bullshit.
Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

I was lucky enough to direct Ted Danson for an audiobook essay. That man was a total gem and loved collaboration. While on Zoom, he took a call from his incredible wife, Mary Steenburgen. The love in his voice knocked me out. Seeing them together on season 2 of "A Man on the Inside" is a delight.

Started it as soon as I got home and my butt hit the couch. It is SO SO good. Love that they found a way to keep Stephanie Beatriz's wonderful character in the show without straining reason.
Hi, the new season of “A Man on the Inside,” a TV show I worked on, hits Netflix today. Ted Danson is in it! Also Mary Steenburgen, Gary Cole, Max Greenfield, David Strathairn, Lisa Gilroy, Stephanie Beatriz, Jason Mantzoukas, and many more funny people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
