šŸ˜ž I can’t do this

Birchtree

I got into the irony of 2nd Amendment fanatics saying they needed gun for if the government sent masked men into their streets yelling, ā€œpapers pleaseā€, only to then cheer for those masked men when they did take to the streets.

Things have been quiet around these parts and I apologize for that. Life, holidays, work, and Foofaraw, have taken up a lot of time and the news as of late has just been devastating. We’re invading countries, have a secret police asking people for their papers, shooting unarmed citizens in the face, storming houses without warrants, racially

šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø The United States has captured Venezuela’s dictator, NicolĆ”s Maduro

The Economist

I’m blowing up ships in international waters, breaking domestic and international laws, invading other countries, asking people for their papers on the street and rounding them up based on inherent traits, and participating in genocide. Who am I?

😔 Megyn Kelly Fumes Over Charlie Kirk Not Being Named Time’s Person of the Year: ā€˜A Thumb in the Eye’

TheWrap

This might come across as insensitive… but what on earth did Charlie Kirk do in 2025 to deserve Person of the Year? Besides getting shot… If getting assasinated is the requirement, I’d like to nominate Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, and their spouses, Mark and Yvette.

Letters from an American

The final document began with a preamble explaining that a UDHR was necessary because ā€œrecognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,ā€ and because ā€œdisregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind.ā€ Because ā€œthe advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the

🧻 I hate the Pantone color of the year

Sticky comics

In fashion language, white suggests luxury, like, you don’t have to work, because if you worked, you’d wear a more practical color that won’t get stained within 5 minutes. Staying clean is a privilege — the aristocracy keeps their hands clean and the working class gets dirty for them.

I’m going to go out on a limb and play the contrarian: I kinda like the color of the year. But I do think they are on to something here when it comes to privilege, white nationalism, etc. Especially as the class gap continues to grow

šŸ’£ Will Congress rein in Pete Hegseth and his boat-bombing campaign?

The Economist

Many of the new lawyers installed in senior posts over recent months ā€œdon’t care what the right answer isā€, bemoans the former senior JAG. ā€œThey spend all their time trying to figure out what the administration wants and then reverse engineer how to get to it.ā€

I called it out a while ago, but at a minimum, Trump is guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, and now I think it’s pretty clear he and Hegseth are guilty of international war crimes as well. Since Trump is such a great ā€œbusinessman man,ā€ he should be familiar with
