A watercolor illustration consisting of 12 little pictures of things that bring Christmas to mind. A filled Christmas stocking with a cute mouse sticking out of it, a bell, a wrapped gift, a dried orange, a mug of hot chocolate, a smiling apple half, a red teapot, a plate of pierogi, a holiday sweater, a blue ornament and a mushroom shaped ornament, and a Christmas tree.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Make the yuletide gay ❤️

[ #cuteart #traditionalart #sketchbook ]
A sketch page showing a mixed media (paint pen & colored pencil) drawing of two male cardinals inside a holiday wreath. Between them is a heart, and around the wreath are stars, as well as the words “make the yuletide gay.” More doodles of cardinals are around the page.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Cardinal in the snow, a classic for a reason ❤️❄️

Northern Cardinal in Central Park, 12.14.2025 #birds #ArtAdventCalendar
A Northern Cardinal, bright red plumage standing out against the snow-covered branches. He is in side profile, but glancing at the camera (or more specifically, at me, in an effort to assess whether or not I have snacks for him)

the right attitude
Charlie Day discussing the Pepe Silvia meme, showing his character in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' standing in front of a conspiracy corkboard: "I love that when someone wants to refer to someone as insane they put up a picture of me in front of the corkboard. Like, that's one of the best things that's ever happened to me in life."

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
