"BETRAYED. First Zelensky, soon us? The radical turning away of the USA from its allies." Today's cover of the German Der Spiegel.

The Arizona Attorney General posted this *11 days ago* and think about all that’s happened since then. youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE?...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

The official White House Twitter account posted an ASMR video of an immigrant deportation flight: handcuffs clinking, chains rattling, and immigrants shackled like criminals and placed on flights out of the country. Unfathomably cruel and evil. [kottke.org]

If I (Bluesky user number <20,000) am doomscrolling, is it called “Elder Scrolls”?

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

House and Senate Democrats have a moral imperative to go into full opposition mode. If people don't see meaningful agency in the formal political system or the movements that push the system to action, many will look elsewhere. And while I'd shed no tears for Musk, there would be blowback.

DOGE Kid: Let’s go cut PBS funding Mister Rogers: *bursts out of grave clad in golden chainmail, holding a sword of flame*

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Starting a band called Night Gardener. #severance

If I ever have kids I’m going to teach them that sports fandom is for suckers and the whole thing is a front for gambling. Then we’re going to watch the most fantasy-ass, made-up story and talk about how it’s more pertinent to the human condition than sports.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The Dallas Mavericks just proved you can completely kill a franchise with one trade. Historically awful in every way.

I don’t even know what fresh horrors specifically everyone is talking about and I am trying to estimate the mental damage I will take by finding out details.

I don't know how to say this any louder THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS MORE RADICAL, MORE FASCIST, MORE VIOLENT THAN ANYONE IN MAINSTREAM POLITICS OR MEDIA IS WILLING TO ADMIT OUT LOUD THEY ARE FULLY IN THRALL TO A MOVEMENT OF ONLINE NAZIS THAT WANT TO END AMERICA AND KILL MANY, MANY PEOPLE

My 4K Blu-ray starter collection.

You've just been thrown to your death by the Beatles.

To be clear: fuck Nazis.

oh, youre here from tik tok? (chuckle's lightly ) Is that like reddit for babies

As I read the news of the latest catastrophe in LA, which marks the beginning of 2025, does anyone remember when we had a year with no catastrophes like this? I seem to remember most years were boring and catastrophe-less in my lifetime leading up to 2020.

Top five games of the year: 1. Animal Well 2. Balatro 3. Astro Bot 4. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth 5. Metaphor: ReFantazio

Can’t see Nosferatu yet, so I finally saw The VVitch. Might get through all of Robert Eggers’s films in release order before Nosferatu.

I need to stop playing Balatro. 🫠

Christmas break games: • Astro Bot • Balatro • Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth • Spider-Man 2 • Still Wakes the Deep

Got better things to do, actually

There is absolutely no doubt that Elon Musk is a Nazi and an anti-semite -- and he is the President-elect of the United States. This is beyond concerning. I beg you to re-post this so that every single American is aware of the fact that Musk is a Nazi and that his colleagues are, too.

I’m watching Twister (1996) and it dawned on me: this is a gender-swapped Hallmark movie. Only they are also chasing tornadoes.

Stoners, let me improve your weekend: Someone uploaded their personal VHS recording of SIX HOURS of MTV's 1994 Beavis & Butt-head Moron-athon on @archive.org with commercials, Liquid TV & misc MTV shows: archive.org/details/beav... I just quickly scanned it & found this hilariously dorky DOOM 2 ad:

Enjoyed Heretic (2024, A24). Thought provoking thriller. Going to be thinking about it for awhile!

If I had to choose a phrase to describe our current decade it would be “AI slop”.

God help anyone who actually applies for a loan these days. I get 5-6 loan application scam calls a day about fake loans I never applied for. Probably at least 30 per week… 120 per month… 1,440 per year…

Started rewatching Severance S1 to get ready for S2, and I forgot how stunning Britt Lower is. One of my favorite seasons of TV ever. I hope S2 lives up to that high bar.

The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects

New Jersey resident filmed this UAP floating near their ceiling. Hovered in place for hours while rapidly rotating with a propulsion system beyond all earthly technology

Everything needs a wrapped now. 🥴

Recently I've seen a lot – and I mean a LOT – of discourse about not just male loneliness but male radicalization and why that may be. One of the things that comes up occasionally is how little men tend to read these days and, if I'm being honest, I think that's actually a big part of it. 🧵

As far as I can tell, a game is called “woke” and crapped on only because it features a non-white and/or non-male protagonist. I have never been able to discern any other reason.
