In other news I think a lot of smaller countries could cheaply replace the US branch of their military intelligence agency with one guy hitting refresh on any relevant Polymarket contracts

Shower thought: way more food is "mostly just grain + cheese + tomato" than you would think

lasagna

spaghetti (marina + parmesan etc)

enchiladas

grilled cheese & tomato soup

nachos if there's salsa

I gotta be missing some

So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL.

For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter.

Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Everyone picking their uniform numbers based on their kids, pretty soon every team's going to have a guy wearing number 67
Díaz said he checked with his wife, and chose number 3 because they have 3 kids

If you’re stopping yourself from getting on an elevator with a woman, you should have to wear something to alert people you’re depraved. Let’s say, a scarlet H for horny
These people have serious problems.

how is this surprising if you've ever read a history book
Exclusive: ICE has developed a plan to arrest undocumented migrants who try to voluntarily leave the U.S. via the Mexico border, so they can face formal removal.

Why bother? Possibly to juice deportation numbers.

It's being referred to as "Operation Irish Goodbye."

ICE Has A Surprising New Plan To Arrest People Already Leaving The U.S.
“Operation Irish Goodbye,” as it’s being called, could be aimed at boosting numbers for Trump’s much-hyped deportation campaign.

With the death of print circulation eroding established outlets this citizen journalism is going to be required. Local politics have been flying under the radar since news bureau staffing cuts started post dot com transition.
Now she just does videos on moderately questionable deals between councils and property developers and basically she's done the impossible and made low-level council fuckery exciting to zoomers

If the concept of libraries did not already exist there is no way libraries would be government funded in the current environment.
Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Elon is feeding entire families in Bangladesh who are just pumping out AI slop to halfwits In Oklahoma. It’s actually really funny when you step back and take a look at things
I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Feel like people are taking this to mean that the mass amount of gutter racism on Twitter is due to foreign bots, not that they just are the ones who have time to crank this shit out until they find something that resonates

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.
