Off soon to watch the youngest defend his master’s thesis in aerospace. Kid moves the first week of January to Boston. I’m so proud of him.

Elise Stefanik was booed off stage by her own voters during her speech.

The extremely mentally ill President of the United States just posted this on his money losing garbage Truth Social app.

Out knocking on doors for Nathan Bellows this afternoon. State Representative candidate for Kentucky’s 48th District.

The Peter Thiel Antichrist lectures have been stuck in my head for too long, and I want to explain why I think a lot of people covering this are badly misunderstanding the obvious context of Christian community this is situated within and that supports these activities 🧵

George Harrison releases “My Sweet Lord” 55 years ago today.

“I’ve met so many listeners across the years who said it made them feel peaceful for 3 minutes,” he said. “It made spirituality feel like something you could sing along to while driving a car or washing dishes. That’s all I ever wanted.”

The revelation of their plan this week shocked European leaders, who are now paying almost all of the military costs of the war, as well as the Ukrainians, who were not sure whether to take this latest plan seriously until they were told to agree to it by Thanksgiving or lose all further US support.

Walked through those men like they weren’t even there.

Lindsey Halligan's bad bad week Look out, Lionel Hutz.

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's bad bad week

"It was already painfully obvious that Trump’s pet prosecutor is entirely out of her depth, with both of her big splashy political prosecutions spiraling out of control. This week, though, it became clear she'd be overmatched prosecuting a jaywalker."

Mark my words, teaching will be next.

The regime is targeting loans for traditionally female occupations.

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

Removing Trump would be awesome if Peter Thiel’s sugar baby JD Vance wasn’t so much fucking worse.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

Attended a International Trans Day of Remembrance event last night. Powerful. 🏳️‍⚧️

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Same. I had a few months between college and the Army in 1986 and read this. I thought this is what I would face at some point.

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

Thanks. I’m fine. But it does suck that the system is so overwhelmed. I worry about those who are relying on possibly only their VA and SS.

Good morning. Coffee. BBC. Cat. Cloudy skies and cool. Mentally preparing for my pool workout.

Anti-LGBTQI+ violence is still all too common. We all must work to end it, including by calling out the kind of hateful rhetoric that inflames and inspires such cruel violence.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Terrific

Finally got a response from the VA. Seems back pay and monthly pay is coming soon. We’ll see.

Last night Russia sent about five hundred drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians. Most were intercepted but those that got through hit a post office, a store, a power plant, and multiple residences. 19 people were killed in Ternopil. (1/2)
