I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

I've got a theory that because of foodborne diseases and parasites no one in history actually took a solid shit until about 1960.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

The Dude absolutely owns this! I was talking to the drummer a few weeks ago, who also played in my uncle's band and he was telling me that Tom Waits came to see them play it once. Anyway, I love this version!

Not trying to call out Tony & Devin here, but they are (somewhat confidently) reinforcing a very common, but exactly wrong myth about Section 230 and being a "publisher." Let's use this as an opportunity to do some educating around Section 230 and the idea of being "a publisher."

One of the findings out of the Cambridge Analytica Facebook shitshow that I remember is that they used people’s favorite musicians to map out personalities who were most susceptible to persuasion campaigns. On “the most” end were pop-country artists, Tom Waits fans were anchoring the other end.
I live for the moments on Tom Waits albums where it feels like he has stumbled to the piano right before midnight just to send us home with something good.

And don't bother coming in my mentions on some "Support our troops!🤡" Jingoistic nonsense. I'm immune to that.

I hire more veterans than you do. I support more unhoused vets than you do. I destigmatize vets getting mental health support, and advocate for suicide prevention more than you do.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

An associate of Strelkov, the Russian fascist Maxim Kalashnikov, appears to have regained his senses, admitting that the Russians have failed in the “cause of their forefathers” and that a generation of young Ukrainians driven by revenge and a desire to reclaim what was lost will soon emerge.

Hyundai-LG:n ICE:n vangitsemien kohtelusta on saatu tietoja. Nyt kun Suomi on tekemässä sopimusta teollisesta yhteistyöstä USA:n kanssa niin sopii mahdollisesti sinne paikan päälle hitsaamaan lähteviä varoittaa. USAssa on fasistinen valtiovalta ja se kohtelee yhteistyökumppaneitaan kuin vihollisia

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
