Hm. I think I've found the "cancel culture" line where I don't really care The guy voluntarily went on an enormous mainstream platform to tell everyone he was a fascist, defend Nazis, call huge chunks of the populace his Schmittian enemies, etc Seems like he got what he wanted
Horrible news, @FeelsGuy2003 (Pinesap) says he feels ‘destroyed’ after losing his well-paying job following the release of a Jubilee debate where he expressed his political views. You can disagree with his political philosophy, but Pinesap is one of the nicest people I have ever…

Buried in amendments to the Interior Dept. Gov funding bill, is a stipulation that the Kennedy Center Opera House must be renamed the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House' in order to receive federal funds. The Appropriations Committee adopted that amendment by a vote of 33-25.
Can’t be sure of first dvd purchase, though for sure I still have it. Can be sure of the first DVD my family ever had: it was Lethal Weapon 4, which we got free with our Toshiba DVD player
Do people really remember what their first DVD or bluray purchase is? When asked I'm like i don't have a clue. I cant remember what happened yesterday. I'm not going to remember the first disc I bought 30/20yrs years ago
It's bad that the White House is banning WSJ from the trip -- but I think the bigger scandal is that the president of the United States and his entourage are flying to Scotland on the public's dime so he can "open a new 18-hole golf course at his resort." theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Its revenues are disappointing, but at least its safety record is also bad!

What is death, though, but the ultimate in anti-wokeness
THREAD An American man, Derek Huffman, moved to Russia with his wife and kids to “escape LGBT propaganda.” A few months later, Russia sent him to fight in Ukraine. Here’s how a Texan trad dad became cannon fodder. ⬇️

The nuts and gum can was my Twitter avatar for going on a decade. Maybe one day it returns!
There’s a whole Simpsons gag about this!
Wild vindication of my habit of holding onto every program from plays I see. Im 99.9% sure I have this All My Sons program from 2002, but am currently too much on the other side of the country to confirm. It was a wonderful production that stayed with me.
As I was saying
There’s a particular circle of hell reserved for rich assholes like this I’ll also note that destroying something that you admit wasn’t yours in an email to a national publication seems unwise

Tech free private schools and abstaining from tech will be a new class signifier like eating healthy and being in shape
I had much to say about the recent harassment & doxing campaign against my family. I have no illusions that appealing to reason & basic humanity will matter to a mob that has exhibited neither. But I felt better putting out a response before moving on. jessicariedl.blog/p/when-the-onl…
