Sigh. Every broadcast without Mud makes me a little sad.

Aaaaand one more. Christ.

Cortes can be done now.

No notes

Deleting Sharepoint would be a dream come true.

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

“Todd Golden’s Year of Stalking…”

Fixed it for you.

Amen.

Disappointing to see this weasel win.

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

ESPN’s Pat McAfee and others amplified a false rumor. A teenager’s life was ‘destroyed’ An Ole Miss freshman has engaged legal representation and says she intends to take action against McAfee, ESPN, and potentially others

These people are such assholes. McAfee and his ilk aren’t funny and they aren’t smart. They’re just the worst kind of people.

This motherfucker can rot.

Le Burger…

Column | Pete Hegseth seems open to ordering soldiers to shoot protesters Trump’s pick to lead the Defense Department indicates he would be willing to do what Mark Esper refused to do.

Here’s something I wrote last week that is maybe important.

In a week, we'll find out that the one guy who didn't vote for Ichiro has written an explanation why, but it's behind a paywall on his substack.

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion

Congress passed legislation

Biden signs legislation

SCOTUS upholds ban

Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open

TikTok shuts down anyway

Trump tweets

TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

F.B.I. Says It Found Largest Cache of Homemade Explosives in Its History at Va. Farm Investigators discovered more than 150 devices, mostly pipe bombs, on a property outside Norfolk, court papers say.

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

What was your go to drink? I’m so envious that you did this.

"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That's the question that needs to be asked,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes

It was actually a relief for me. I didn’t think I could do it, then nuked my account in a fit of rage.

And it might have been the best thing I’ve done for myself in the last month.

This is funny because I’ve decided to no longer pay my entire bill. If the bill goes over the amount I want to pay, I just won’t pay.

“She promised she would not pull the football away. Her doing so felt like a gut punch.” -Charlie Brown, probably

The same people who defend Confederate monuments are upset that Hunter Biden got a pardon.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
