Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption” What are we even doing?

In effectively a single blink of the historical eye, we’ve seen our entire constitutional system simply … stop. We can clearly see what’s happening is wrong—illegal and unconstitutional—and the actors who can do something about that just … aren’t. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-s-...

I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was very self-aware of the owner.

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

Trans kids deserve to be their authentic selves and we all need to make sure they know they aren’t alone. Familiarize yourselves with these resources and share. I found three of the trans activists mentioned in the article here on BlueSky, handles are in the thread.

Ben Mankiewicz’s latest Talking Pictures podcast interview with Charles Barkley was a delight. Definitely worth a listen!

Trump's pardoning of Capitol rioters undermines the rule of law & sends a dangerous message: that violence will be rewarded, not punished. This isn't what America stands for. We need leaders who uphold justice, not enable extremism. #J6Pardons

Unfortunately, the Rolling Stone is correct: Trump fomented an insurrection, and by legal maneuvers and feckless Republican allies, he has gotten away with it. www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

Merry merry Christmas to those who celebrate, however you celebrate the day and whenever you celebrate. May the balance of the day be filled with only things that give you peace and joy. ❄️❄️❄️

The 4K release of 2001: A Space Odyssey is stunning. And the ape / proto humans at the beginning are still amazing. If you don't believe me, just ask our cat.

@ericvespe.bsky.social such a great job with @alliegoertz.bsky.social on the newest pod! I was actually thinking of Wampler the other day (saw a guy with a grey mohawk at a brewery). Happy the pod has continued, and on to better things next year.

@alliegoertz.bsky.social You were so great on the @thekingcast.bsky.social! So nice to hear you boost my NIN knowledge, and, of course, sneak a few Simpsons mention in here and there.

Stop worrying that the pages aren't good enough. If they aren't good enough, you'll make them good enough when you edit. Sometimes, you have to see a thing on the page before you know exactly what it is supposed to be. The rights words often only come after the wrong ones.

Starting to believe the biggest determinant in young men's political alignment is how much time they spend working out. Not because like some believe, exercise has some magical effects on mindset. Purely because hours in the gym means lots of time to listen to podcasts.

Sorry I put aviator sunglasses on the baby Jesus in your nativity scene and started singing “Highway to the manger zone.”

My 7-year-old was given a prompt at school to write what she would do if she were a Thanksgiving turkey. Her answer is, legit, amazing. #proudmom
