Nasty, brutish, and short.

I wonder if this was what FIFA's Peace Prize was meant to curtail?
Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.

It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.
Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Ben Mulroney pitching his shitty podcast by using Katy Perry's "Fight Song" as the ad soundtrack. Yeah, Ben, real subtle.

Dec. 5, 1925: Langston Hughes at work as a waiter at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. At around this time he comes across the poet Vachel Lindsay at the hotel and shows him some of his own poetry, an encounter that will lead to Hughes being published.

December 6th is handily the most tragic date on the Canadian calendar.
It’s the anniversary of the 1917 Halifax Explosion. A still and somber morning to visit sites in my neighborhood: a fragment of anchor shank from Mont Blanc, the grave of telegraph operator Vince Coleman, and the field where unidentified dead were buried.

My takeaway from the World Cup draw is this - give Trump a made-up award & he becomes nearly human. Let’s give Trump a made-up award every day like an Advent calendar. Tomorrow - the Lanarkshire Orthodontist of the Year

Dec 6th always sneaks up on me. I always flash back to the next day: Our jr high homeroom teacher, whose ardent feminism had always engendered eyerolls in class, was in tears. The boys greeted this with eyerolls, too, and were surprised the girls were horrified at their reaction. A chilling schism.

Surely cities so scared of POC that they vote Republican would consider an influx of foreign tourists a *threat*, not an opportunity?

Also how many FIFA-level stadiums do Fresno and OKC have on offer?
Monica Crowley claims Trump is "talking to FIFA" about potentially moving the World Cup out of "blue cities," but no decisions have been made

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

Trump went golfing with Wayne Gretzky today. That's FOX host Brett Baier on the right. Trump posted this on his Truth Social account.

The British public think that Love, Actually is a Christmas movie instead of a hate crime against women, so let's agree to disagree on this one.

PS Eastern Promises is a Christmas movie.

A short thread, worth reading. We need more Rosas to rise and meet the current era.
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
