New Year’s Tom🇵🇸 🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️

looking forward to chopping all these fucking media conglomerates into a billion little pieces. four years of “Anti-Woke HBO” will be annoying enough to ensure there isn’t any remnant of ParamountSkydanceWarnerBrothersDiscovery left larger than a single department

Comeback of the year

As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.

we cannot ever let an evangelical be in charge of anything ever again. no more apocalypse cultists doing anything. absolutely barred from running for town dogcatcher

I have never seen a hire more destined to be utterly thrown to the side in like 2 months and forgotten about

Which is not a knock on Danhausen (although he signed on for WWE in 2026 so fuck him) but more a testament to WWE complete lack of comedic sensibilities 9 times out of 10

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Turns out that elected politicians retaining and acting on any sort of shame was a load-bearing part of the US Constitution

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Over on the bad site, a book banner and his anti-woke musician pal are discussing screenshots of my pro-library thread below and posted a song that warns me "don't be surprised by your shot to the face."

A death threat.

Just wanted that on record.

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

It very well may not be enough to stop a regime that gives fuck-all for the law but, having lived through the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan it’s been REMARKABLE to see Democrats immediately saying “this war is dumb and illegal and it should stop”

Angel!

Little bit

hey i have a good number of trans followers and just in case any of this insidious shit is seeping in and seeing it stated plainly by a rando helps:

you don't deserve this

Yes

Larry Hama was responsible for basically the whole foundation of the 80s "G.I. JOE" mythology between the original comics and a huge amount of the character work for the toy. Legendary dude. 👍

If anyone has a direct line to this guy, please ask him why he hasn't announced an eviction moratorium to protect immigrants terrorized by ICE in his state in the dead of winter.

Let's just be clear:

Jay Bhattacharya is getting a media makeover this week.

NYT gave him a glowing review for his new role at the CDC.

He went on the MAHA-friendly WSITY podcast and lied freely for an hour.

He's telling CDC employees he's pro-vaccine.

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: ‘I guess I’m going in’ “The most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

NEW BY ME: I spoke with Lio Cundiff, the 31-year-old transgender comedian in Chicago who saved a baby.

He’s a cool dude who’s down to earth and embarrassed by the attention.

I hope you, Tig Notaro, and River Butcher read this.

‘Elaine From Atlantic … She Needs to Leave’ Representative Jasmine Crockett claimed I wasn’t kicked out of her rally. Here’s the audio.

Someone is not telling the truth here, and none of the evidence — including a taped recording— suggests that the person lying is the reporter from The Atlantic

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

a…journalist spoke to living, breathing trans people…about the policies that affect them. not their distant and estranged families….or someone from APP who’s just presented as a concerned parent…actual transsexuals?

Oh my god
