Hello, friends! If you're following me, that means you're cool. Or uncool. I don't remember which. But you're likely to get a shit ton of TV and music recommendations in between tons of political content. Also the occasional #actuallyautistic post from a guy who spent 41 years thinking he was NT.
I'm just gonna say that I'm not going to do anything illegal, but I sure wouldn't be upset if somebody Luigi'd Elon. Just an absolute trash drug-addled white supremacist who should be taxed into oblivion and then deported to South Sudan.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Incredible. @cbsnews.com has gone fully pro-pedophile. What a sorry excuse for a news organization it has so quickly become. Any normal workplace fires this dude for cause immediately.

This whole thread is great, but Mo hits on the greatest "Previously on" segment of all time. "The Road So Far" is the thing that turned "Carry On, Wayward Son" from loathed cheese-rock into one of my favorites. Supernatural is *still* criminally underrated.
At the end of every season, before the season finale, Supernatural would have a very long previously called “the road so far.” we have strayed so far from God (and Crowley’s) light etc etc

I don't see how Tisch survives this as an owner. He really ought to be in prison, because the idea all the ladies Epstein connected him with were over 18 strains credulity. But Goodell has to do something, and soon.

Similarly, I really need @phish.com to drop Wasserman ASAP.
Good reporting by @theathletic.com on Steve Tisch’s relationship with Epstein

I hope when Trump and Miller and all the rest of them eventually do die – and they will, one day, die – it is alone and in an absolutely unbearable amount of pain.
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

This is an incredible statement considering how pious Jimmy Carter was. And James Garfield was some kind of minister, too. Not to mention, Trump would likely spontaneously combust if he entered a church that isn't subscribed to his particular brand of cruelty.
Paula White-Cain at the National Prayer Breakfast: "President Trump has brought religion back to this nation and beyond. It is my great honor to introduce the GOAT -- the greatest of all time. The greatest champion of faith that we have ever had in the executive branch."

You could cover the salaries of a hell of a lot of reporters for the sum Amazon paid to make a money-losing propaganda film about Trump’s mail-order bride.
That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

This is the playbook used to hollow out media in Hungary and Poland under PiS.

The difference. however, is that Bezos wasn't forced to do this by the state. He had the resources to preserve the Post indefinitely, if he wanted. He *chose* capitulation.

This man has never even picked up a Bible. He's a complete phony.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

The area around the White House is like four-star hotels, Hermes boutiques, Smithsonian museums, and expense-account restaurants. The closest thing you'd experience to a mugging within a mile radius is a PIRG intern hitting you up for a donation.

The only common sense for reforming the Gestapo is ending it. But Chuck Schumer refuses because he is a fascist collaborator.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Kind of amazing that Musk has a problem with the beautiful Black woman whose face could absolutely launch a thousand ships being "historically inaccurate" but not the Irish-American guy from Boston.

And by kind of amazing, I don't mean it's amazing at all, because Musk is a racist.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

I'm both relieved and proud that one of the few professors I remember from college had the moral clarity to tell Epstein and his depraved buddies to fuck off.

I don't see how Wiles is ever taken seriously by anyone ever again. She is either spectacularly weak, basically a glorified secretary for Trump – or she's in on the grift and is yet another part of this cancer infecting the federal government.

Greg Bovino going to the Bernard Law school of coverups.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Feeling good about your decision not to whip that fascist Cuellar that @pelosi.house.gov insisted was essential to get elected? Feeling good about allowing more funding for ICE? Feeling good about American citizens being gunned down in the street? This is on you.
January 24, 2026 at 4:35 PM
@seancasten.bsky.social You did the right thing voting against ICE funding, despite the fact that your impotent leader couldn't whip the 7 votes it would've taken to defeat it. But after today, there should be no question: ICE needs to be disbanded, and the shooters of civilians prosecuted.

The only thing good about EITHER Emanuel brother is that Rahm inspired Josh Lyman, who turned out to be a much better person than Rahm is – even though he was a gigantic man-baby with zero social skills.

Gutted to see the news about Terry Boers. Truly, after the older neighborhood kid I idolized, one of the people most responsible for making me the sports fan I am. Equal parts serious and stupid, and it worked for most of my life.
