Trump is on Russia's side. This cannot be ignored or overstated. The media is failing us. Again and again. They should be asking every member of the GOP how they went from supporting Ukraine to supporting Russia overnight.

Dan Campbell losing a playoff game because he stuck to his guns on fourth down and it didn't work out and then losing a playoff game the next year because the other coach stuck to his guns on fourth down and it did work out just hurts

So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you?
For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th

Free speech isn't a virtue, it's a right. Truth-telling is a virtue. Lying is a vice, and its status as a political right does not change that.

Imagine that your entire job is getting paid piles of money to understand how Washington works, and you're caught by surprise that Donald Trump is doing exactly what he repeatedly indicated he would do www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
Washington’s lobbyists are stunned Trump chose RFK Jr.
They’re holding their fire and hoping Senate allies will block his confirmation as HHS secretary.

These folks had the chance to bury Trump. This is on them.
John Bresnahan reports that GOP senators are stunned—and not in a good way—by Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for AG.
Chuck Grassley was so exasperated by reporters asking him about Gaetz that he stopped talking and stood there stone-faced for 30 seconds.
