I wasn’t feeling particularly Christmassy until I started singing David Bowie’s part (the “Peace on Earth” lines) in this while feeding the cats this morning. Highly recommended if you’re in the seasonal doldrums!

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!
So, DOGE, What Would You Say You Did Here?

I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings.

I think what we need now is a sort of reverse Pop Up Video for The American Revolution showing which musical number in Hamilton is being referenced with the relevant rhymes and characters popping up onscreen from time to time.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Two reasons why XKCD’s What If? series is so compelling:
