Still working on getting all the Christmas display toys out, but here’s what’s right in front of me in my home office.

I was in a good mood all day after this. In some ways it's so dumb, but this just makes me so happy. Here's hoping we get a physical media release as well.
On February 19, 2027, we’ll celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars with a re-release of the 1977 original back for a limited time, in theaters everywhere. Details at StarWars.com #starwars #lucasfilm

This probably won't be great for my mental health, so we'll see how long it lasts, but for now: I'm back. Here's a picture of Star Wars Black Series figures celebrating Life Day.

Friend of mine suggested to me that Colbert should run for president and after two seconds I was like, “wait a minute…”

Remarkable: Zohran Mamdani's video about returning to Uganda racked up 4.5 million views on Instagram, 56% among non-followers, per data given to me.

He is forging a new answer to Dems' digital woes. I talked to his advisers in depth about it. Fascinating. 1/

The Real Reason for Zohran’s Success Should Rattle National Democrats
Exclusive internal campaign data on the reach of Mamdani’s viral videos illustrates that he gets modern messaging in ways other Democrats just don’t.

Increasingly getting "dot com bubble" vibes from AI. Could easily be the trigger for the next major recession.
Trump does not know how to make “deals”. He knows how to dictate terms. Not the same thing. That’s why I was annoyed when I saw this headline in the @nytimes.com on Thursday. It’s again adopting Trump’s misuse of language. When there’s a “deal,” both sides confirm. “Trump says” is not a deal.

This is fine etc.
FEMA is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration’s push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

I am probably not going to watch Star Trek: Starfleet Academy because I do not want to have to watch Discovery to catch up on the 32nd-century era.

Salon did an interview with Alan Moore in 2004, and I never forgot what he said in regards to what was going on with Bush, Iraq, the surveillance state, and so forth:

I'm loving the sudden interest in holding the GOP accountable for their hypocrisy.

And just saying: Donald Trump has definitely paid for some abortions.
NEW bombshell allegations from the Texas Legislature today. The author of Texas’ abortion “trigger ban” has been accused by a former exotic dancer of paying for abortions. He has denied the claims and threatened to sue the outlet that ran them. More:

Capriglione authored Texas’ “trigger ban,” which banned abortion when Roe v. Wade was overturned. He announced he wouldn’t seek reelection.

Eh, we'll know the vibes are shifting when lame comedians start complaining about how they can't make jokes about Christians or rich white guys.
Striking exchange with @amandamarcotte.bsky.social: Trump's attacks on TV shows for criticizing him will anger Americans, because they value their "ability to talk back to our leaders and and make fun of them."

The culture isn't trending toward Trumpism after all:

I wrote this just before the OBBB passed.
Don't sleep on the idea that this bill will be the high-water mark of Trump II (sort of like how Gettysburg was the high-water mark of the Confederacy).

I don't know why I feel that way. I'm hardly an optimist. But something about this feels like that to me.

"The liberal commitment to free speech is inviolable. But it does not follow that liberals must extend the presumption of good faith to everyone engaged in free speech."
Good intervention from @brianbeutler.bsky.social demonstrating that liberals need to internalize and act on the idea that right wing bad faith actors "view liberal freedoms as loopholes to exploit in their pursuit of power."

Larry Summers yesterday: the Columbia capitulation deal is great, Harvard should follow suit

Trump this morning: Larry Summers is a pedophile
REPORTER: What do you hope Todd Blanche gets out of the meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell?

TRUMP: People should really focus on how well the country is doing or they should focus on the fact that Barack Hussein Obama led a coup

BREAKING via NYT: The Times found another admiring note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

“To Jeff — You are the greatest!” reads an inscription in a copy of Mr. Trump’s book “Trump: The Art of the Comeback” that belonged to Mr. Epstein. (link in reply)

@williambwest.bsky.social Okay, if he’s right then why *did* they boo Hogan?
MAGA will say that people booed Hulk for his support for Trump. But PLENTY of other WWE wrestlers supported Trump like Roman Reigns, the Undertaker and Logan Paul and the WWE fans don't have them on the same level they hate Hulk.
Just thinking about how Hulk Hogan was booed out of the building during WWE's debut on Netflix, and he was never seen again.

This, his destruction of Gawker, and his RNC appearance endorsing Trump, will be his lasting legacy.
