I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

I switched to using Bookshop about a year ago. Everyone should do it. Same catalogue of books, same buying process, have had no problems. And my money goes to a local indie bookstore that I designate, even if the actual book doesn't come from them. A clean, easy way to cut Amazon out of your life.
Indie bookstores are run by incredible humans who actually care about the world and people around them, who open their doors to those who need it, who speak out against injustice and demand better.
If you need somewhere to be today, your local bookstore is waiting to welcome you with open arms. 💜

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

I don’t know what 2026 will bring, but at least I can say I started it exactly as I hoped - in a room, surrounded by friends, as we all raised our glasses, wished each other a Happy New Year, and collectively hoped aloud that this will be the year it happens.

My only slight disagreement is it’s not just been the past decade. The seeds of this were germinating back in the 1990s when I was in high school and being smart or academic started to become something you were looked down on for.
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

It's not that Scott Galloway is wrong about things, it's that he sees things solely through the lens of his own reality (extremely rich and business-oriented) and assumes that his observations are universal. He's a great example of why success in one area doesn't equal insight in another.
The link between sexual repression and militarism is becoming clearer by the day.
Galloway blames OnlyFans for loneliness, depression, small business closures, extremism, tyranny and *checks notes* impending societal extinction.
His solution? Mandatory national service.

It's happened. Finally. I've been blocked for calling out someone's bad behavior on here (in pretty gentle terms, btw) and then they sub-tweeted (sub-sky'd? sub-blue'd?) me after.
Do I get a prize? Maybe one of those fake FIFA World Peace medals? I'm not popular, I don't know how these things work.

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

1. In a Sunday Night surprise, the trans healthcare coverage ban has been removed from the military NDAA.
Congressional leaders released the negotiated bill this evening, and though the House AND Senate contained the provision, it is not in the final bill!

Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
Anti-DEI and sports ban provisions for the military still exist in the bill, but the removal of a health care provision is a major victory for transgender people in congressional legislation.
