NEW from me:
Towards the end of Trump's interview with 60 Minutes in November, Bari Weiss rushed into the room to introduce herself and the pair exchanged kisses on the cheek, leaving 60 Minutes staff stunned at the "overly chummy" embrace.

Every once in a while I remember that when Vic Mackey from “The Shield” (2002-08) has nowhere left to turn — when he has murdered other cops in cold blood and is guilty of extortion and stealing millions in drug money and the walls are closing in — he escapes punishment by getting a job with ICE.

My parents subscribed to the afternoon paper (which just so happened to have the best comics) and my grandma kept a stack of garage-sale Peanuts and Garfield paperbacks on hand for me to read whenever I came over. No way I wasn’t getting hooked.
why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed.
Somali immigrants in the U.S. with TPS must leave the country by March 17, she said. nbcnews.to/3LscuRW

Reading these two books back to back was such a blast. One a deeply flawed but still wildly powerful (and funny) childhood favorite of mine, the other a barbed reimagining that develops
a mischievous, unpredictable life of its own.

It’s a massive shame Cafe Tacuba’s Reves/Yo Soy isn’t streaming or available to buy (unless you grab a used CD on Discogs etc). But at least it’s on YouTube. One disc of instrumental experimentation, one disc of alt-rock-en-espanol bangers, one hell of a fun listen.

The sourceless screenshots drive me nuts, and they’re widespread across the ideological spectrum here
So many posts have screenshots with no link or citation. I wanted to know more but…it’s impossible. Just floating bits of words, with No context or authorship. Talk about stealing! Come on guys!!! What are you doing??

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.
I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

Compiled my 40 favorite movies of 2025. OBAA easily came out on top, but I saw a whole bunch of other good ones, too. I think I even broke my record for most movies seen on the big screen in a single year!
