Never forget.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil.

Did you notsee this coming?

This is really what it’s all about. Nothing to do with “border security.” He is a ignorant, vengeful, demented, megalomaniacal narcissist.

The U.S. Pond Hockey Championships are the best of Minnesota, bringing folks from across the country together over our shared love of hockey.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

Absolutely incredible 💫✨💫✨💫✨💫

A four-panel comic called Cartooning Benefits Package. The benefits are: "Vacation Time", showing a cartoonist in the shower. "Health Insurance" shows a failing GoFund Me campaign for a sick cartoonist. "Retirement" shows a cartoonist's gravestone. In the background are tombstones for a musician and a writer. Because this comic is applicable to other creative people and freelancers and that is acknowledged by the inclusion of those other tombstones. (there are always people who chime in about how a joke or comic or post doesn't include their particular field or medium. For gosh sakes, I know it's the same shit-show for all creatives. I'm writing about my field, largely for people acquainted with comics and cartooning. Folks can go write a story or sing a song or design a game about the lack of benefits in their field, I won't bother anyone if they don't mention artists or cartoonists)

I fill boxes. Happy New Year.

Musk Doubles Down on Support for German Far-Right Party The world’s richest man, a key adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, ridicules critics over his backing of the German extremist party AfD, as Germany prepares for elections.

So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

I thought it was odd that 48 hours had gone by without Mace manufacturing a new fake dramatic episode in her reality show. Right on cue.

Dear Dad, your blabber mouth baby girl got to visit the Oval Office. And I brought you with me.

So I visited the Oval Office this week, and I took my dad with me.

White Judge Who Threatened to Shoot Black Teens at Party Resigns Justice Erin P. Gall of Oneida County, N.Y., faced removal from office after a judicial commission found that she engaged in a “racially offensive, profane” tirade at a high school graduation party.

Is this bad? Because it seems bad.

Indeed, this is where we are.

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.

MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.

They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.

Unacceptable.

How an Old-School New York Times Columnist Became Social Media’s Most Unlikely Star You’ve never heard takes on history or politics like his before. That’s a good thing.

Holy shit. Did you see the letter Olivia Troye’s attorney sent to Kash Patel after he threatened to sue her for defamation? Troye, a former Homeland Security advisor, had the BEST response.

I gotta say that being able to play YouTube links in-app is amazing and it doesn't make me want to leave Bluesky, it makes me want to use it more. I cannot believe what we've been forced to tolerate by tech behemoths for so long in their desperation to prevent access to the rest of the internet.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.
