My New Years Resolution is to spend less time on my phone and especially this increasingly shitty corner of the internet. See you (occasionally) over at the sky place (same handle)

Musk didn't invent Tesla,... he bought it. Musk didn't invent SpaceX,... he bought it. Musk didn't invent Starlink,... he bought it. Musk didn't invent Twitter,... he bought it. Musk didn't invent Trump,... he bought him.

What song gives you chills every time, no matter how many times you've listened to?

The real reason why Trump wants to seize the Panama Canal from Panama… it’s always petty revenge with Trump.

You can't use that f'ing song, Notre Dame!

This Luigi Mangione perp walk is such a spectacle straight out of a comic book. The entourage of unnecessary personnel and Mayor Eric Adams. Are they escorting him to Arkham Asylum?

@mbeisen This is yet another sign that biomedical research is on a rapid path toward a hellish asymptote of nearly infinite data with vanishingly small degrees of biological insight

Aptly named for sure

@jbendery @MollyJongFast And there’s a CR that’s about to expire!

A bunch of progressive advocacy groups dropped off sleeping bags with Democratic senators yesterday. They attached a message to them: "Work late. Work weekends. Confirm every judge."

@ajbauer This is perfect. No one cares about VOA anymore. Good place for her.

Yikes.

@anthonyVslater Apt description of this stupid in-season tournament bullshit thingy

It’s a red court tonight for the semifinals between Warriors and Rockets. Steve Kerr told his coaches at shootaround: “It feels like I’m descending into the depths of hell.”

@davidmcswane Brilliant reporting on a chilling story.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths… 🧵

@ThatEricAlper My favorite Xmas song

Every winter, Chris Butler, writer and member of The Waitresses, donates to a children's library in the name of the first person who tells him they've heard "Christmas Wrapping" on the radio.

My view on this event: President Yoon’s pure stupidity was unfortunate, but it unintentionally highlighted the resilience of South Korean democracy. The National Assembly stopped the leader’s wrong decision. The system of check and balance worked once again. This was the first..

Before the election: Extreme MAGA Republicans lied to America about their connection to Project 2025. After the election: The people behind Project 2025 are given high level positions in the Trump administration. How dare you lecture the American people about anything.

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

@Fake_KDKA LOL. That’s how I felt today
