I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Opinion | What Trump Is Really Doing With His Boat Strikes

Phil Klay: I suspect the question the administration cares about is not “is this legal,” “is this a war crime,” “is this murder” or even “is this good for America,” but rather, “isn’t this violence delightful?” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

I have a hard time accepting that sitting my ass down and watching movies is part of my job… or vocation… or whatever it is I’m doing here…

Had a vivid dream just like this when I was a child.

I still prefer them to Arcade Fire

Welp.

Department of War Crimes.

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section.

She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU

They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump

She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.

No one could’ve predicted that putting a lot of Opus Dei weirdos on the Supreme Court would end our democracy

wtf Doctor Who

Look at this absolute professional just doing his job.

Slurs, plural. He’s certainly joined the “the r-word is ok now” club.

That bust of Ben Franklin is throwing up in its mouth.

Tweet from Zohran Kwame Mamdani calling ICE raids cruel and ineffective, saying his responsibility as mayor would be to all residents, including immigrants. Below is an image of Mamdani speaking outdoors alongside another person.

Hear, hear! These raids must stop everywhere.

As a professional puppeteer for over 20 years or so I can’t believe it took me until yesterday to realize my porn name should be: Rod Hands.

To the tune of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl":

🎵 Epstein files
They list elites who should be put on trial
They're shittin' bricks in fear of doin' time
For the world's most abhorrent crimes
They're tryin' to hide all the ...

Found it!

Suddenly he began writing in sheer panic, only imperfectly aware of what he was setting down. His small but childish handwriting straggled up and down the page, shedding first its capital letters and finally even its full stops: April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never —

it is a terrible essay

oh so a tailbone injury is its own little hell isn't it

I’ve got a later call today so I can get in my exercises and stretching before going to set and who am I kidding?

“--it's not gasps and blood and falling about---that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all ---now you see him, now you don't, that the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back...”
