Remember Kermit’s bland corporate life with Gil, Jill, and Bill that we as children prayed he would escape? That’s what adulthood is like.

Hi, former turkey farmer here who raised flocks of heritage breed turkeys specifically for Thanksgiving:
What?!
What?!
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

But theology made the cut.

Ah, Udo Kier died! What a shame! I will always remember him in his greatest role. I am speaking, of course, of him playing Toulon in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. RIP, sir!

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I used to be all-in on the skeptic movement back in…I don’t even remember…was it the late aughts? Well anyway I drifted away thanks to the weirdly toxic reaction to Watson’s whole “elevatorgate” incident. Now this comes out and it seems like my instincts were justified. Absolutely amazing.
Mainstream news covered the Jeffrey Epstein emails related to ppl like Trump. Today, I want to take a look at Epstein's correspondence with prominent atheist and physicist Lawrence Krauss, who asked the pedophile's advice on responding to accusations of sexual assault skepchick.org/2025/11/so-i...

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.
By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

It’s kind of fascinating how easily all these powerful corporations are caving to a bunch of bigoted authoritarians. It’s almost like they never cared about any of this stuff, and will do whatever is required to secure their fortunes.

Trump decides on military strikes like he’s approving adding beef bourguignon to the Mar-a-Lago dinner menu.
“Sure. Works for me.”

I see people claiming it’s ridiculous that Raskin would actually invite MTG to the dems’ “big tent” and that he was joking. A year ago Liz Cheney was invited on stage at a dem presidential campaign event. It was famously badly received. So, if Raskin, was indeed joking it wasn’t a good joke.
