BREAKING: 😂

ICYMI: Independent journalist David Zweig went from normie lib to being featured in a Koch-backed libertarian think tank's promotional video for the Great Barrington Declaration to promoting vaccine skepticism in the span of 2 years.

Now, he's the journalist reporting Elon Musk's COVID Twitter Files.

My story examines his story, his work, and his claims in his Twitter files thread. https://importantcontext.substack.com/p/musk-great-barrington-declaration-reporter

For your periodic reminder that people who want to destroy government should under no circumstances be trusted to run it, tune in to CSPAN.

After three separate votes, Republicans fail to elect their own Speaker -- first time in 100 years that's happened.

I want all the media pundits who blamed Dems for "not effectively negotiating with Republicans" to explain how you negotiate with a pro-insurrectionist party who can't even agree on their own Speaker?

Republicans claim Government doesn't work, then they get elected and prove it. Vote GOP Out Permanently.

Selling merch based on your failed attempted rightwing coup is peak American capitalism.

Your periodic reminder:

If you don't get a raise every year that's at least as much as the inflation rate, that's a salary cut.

😂 “Not everything is amazing; and when you think about it, very little is”..... "Sleuth confession: 'It makes my hair hurt.' ”

I always look forward to this annual publication. Their explanations never fail to make me smile--and often clap & cheer. If you need random entertainment today, go read. And/or pull up the archives from past years. 😂

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

@RonBrownstein@twitter.com For decades, the trajectory of the GOP has been clear, and for decades, I've been reading center-left pundits speculating wistfully about a "turning point" that will restore the center-right GOP of their imaginations.

Just because you've had a nap today doesn't mean you can't have another nap today. There is no actual limit.

Wishing you all a great #NewYearsEve with a lovely #Victorian New Year card showing two children being terrified by a giant insect. #gothic #weird #history #folklore #HappyNewYear

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

Oh the day you got married was the best day of your life? Well obviously you never found an onion ring in your fries

It’s done! 365 days of recording the local temperature and weather in a knitted scarf.

George Washington authorized 13,000 troops to march across the freaking state of Pennsylvania in 1794 to force a handful of pissed off farmers to pay their taxes. He used the power of his office to try to apprehend an enslaved woman, Ona Judge, who freed herself in May 1796. He's not your anti-statist libertarian hero, my friend, despite what your fake quote is trying to say.
