Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

An overturned stick is held upright in a winter forest and covered in mature rosy Splitgill mushrooms. Their gills burst out like a fireworks display

Here are some nice mushrooms

N.J. just struck a blow against banning books It's called the "Freedom to Read Act."

NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians.

GRAHAM MEETS WITH FBI DIRECTOR NOMINEE KASH PATEL CLICK HERE FOR PHOTO WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) met with Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). "I had an outstanding meeting with Kash Patel, President Trump's nominee to be the new FBI Director. We discussed how the FBI can deal with the national security threats that America faces at home and abroad. He indicated that one of his top priorities is to go after those groups on the internet who are grooming America's children for sexual exploitation. "Kash promised to get the FBI back to its original mission of protecting America, and that the days of the FBI leadership having their thumb on the scale politically will be over. "I look forward to his confirmation hearing. President Trump did a great job in nominating Kash Patel." ####

Patel and Graham grinning like children about to get ice cream, doing the Trump-posed-photo-thumbs-up thing.

Lindsey Graham is definitely one of my top 10 most embarrassingly craven (cravenly embarrassing?) national politicians.

Chasing clouds, conquering heights, and soaking in the beauty of nature. 🏔️🌥️ A perfect moment on this high hill where the blue sky meets the rolling mist.

WATCH: Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) have officially been sworn in as U.S. Senators following appointments by their respective governors to complete the terms of their vacant seats before assuming office for their full terms in January.

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.

Congratulations to CAPT Greg Jones on your retirement from the US NAVY after 25 years of service. Beautiful ceremony at Naval Hospital Camp today

How the UK became a nation of misinformation and disinformation Like many other parts of the world, the UK is in the firm grip of an epidemic of disinformation and misinformation

Without a doubt, misinformation is the greatest threat to society and democracy. It is out of control, it’s poisoning minds, and many people have lost the ability to recognise fact, or think critically. It’s a world wide crisis

Screenshot of a UK Labour Party tweet, in which the Tweet says "The Tories lost control of our borders. Labour is taking it back," and the image is of Keir Starmer with a headline saying "Keir Starmer has organised the three largest deportation flights in UK history."

I get the political calculation here. I'm just gonna point out that the predominance of research into European parties' efforts to outflank the far right like this has found that they merely legitimised the far right's political framing and led voters to opt for the "full fat" version.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a good day to thank undocumented immigrants.
🦃 3/4 of them are essential workers vital to keeping our country running.

They make up:
📌 23% of construction workers
📌 40%–55% of agriculture workers
📌 25% of food preparation & serving workers
📌 8% of healthcare workers

Musk accuses Trump whistleblower Vindman of ‘treason,’ says ‘he will pay’ Elon Musk on Wednesday suggested retired Army Lt. Col Alexander Vindman “committed treason” and “will pay” after the former Trump impeachment witness accused the tech billio…

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

Biden: Today I have good news from the Middle East. I am pleased to announce that governments accepted the U.S. Proposals to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Today I'm grateful for family, friends & loved ones.
