“Seth Meyers just uploaded the comic book version of Project 2025 online, and said: "Project 2025 is too long to read which is why it's great that a bunch of comic book creators got together to show you exactly how scary it is.”

For people who say they don't want values imposed on them, they are every imposing of values on people. Bad ones.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Everyone going, "RFK Jr is against Big Pharma!" should maybe acknowledge that he's staunchly pro Big Supplement.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world. Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends. www.kwch.com/2025/01/30/c...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This is low down on the level of things happening at the moment but it’s kind of wild to be preparing my taxes, collecting 1099s and getting ready to send a check to the government right now.

I know this specifically says it does not affect Social Security or Medicare, but it's clear that at this rate those programs might not have much more than a month or two left before being gutted and privatized.

I wonder if teams in the playoffs, especially underdogs, spend extra time studying film of their next opponents more than during the regular season. Between the Texans and Commanders, just feels like they understand how to beat their opponents better than most. Dame with Packers last year. #nfl

Wishing all my Bluesky friends a joyful and relaxing weekend filled with moments that make you smile. 😃

When there's odds for something, like, say, #nfl playoff wins; who is actually setting those odds? What are they using to make decisions? I see @betmgmsportsbook.bsky.social gets mentioned as owners of odds, but how does it work?

Remember: It is critically important that we continue to ask whether children are being rushed into hormones and surgery despite years of data demonstrating that they are not.

Famously, the US does not station ships or carriers in the Pacific. It’s why the attack on Pearl Harbor is known as such a foolishly wasted effort. Kind of weird they moved the wreck of the USS Arizona there despite it obviously not sinking in Hawaii, though.

This is funny.

I do actually think I should get a free pizza for every 10 books I read

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

On this day 1843, Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is first published. “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”

Government drones above my barn: How long will the radical left liberals cover this up? They keep calling it “the big dipper” but I know it’s just drones.

"[school grounds] shootings this year where gender was identified, only nine suspects were female compared with 249 who were male" so...258 shootings on school grounds? I feel like I can name less than 10. and NINE girls? I never would have known. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

It could have been worse. He could have chosen McKinsey & Co!

Dear male CEOs, Pls stop making assumptions about what women want/don’t want. You are not being “supportive” by assuming we can’t handle the pressure or responsibility. Many of us are passionate about our careers & want your job. Sincerely, One of many women. (Think I may have scared some CEOs)

Luigi got them shook.

We brought back the brilliant Leon Neyfakh to discuss Al Gore’s 2000 concession speech and the long tail of Bush v. Gore. If you haven’t heard me rant about the 2000 election as the start of the mess we’re in now, here’s your chance! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

A truly important (and obvious, even banal) point that really can’t be stressed enough: sometimes majorities get things really really wrong!

Asking Trump before the election how he will reduce grocery prices: “[non sequitors] and prices will come down quickly!” Asking Trump after the election how he will reduce grocery prices: “Eh, probably can’t.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
