I mean, Jimmy Carter told Americans to put on a sweater and conservatives revere him to this day for it, so yeah... checks out.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

@malleusdelic.bsky.social has relaunched their tarot deck project. It is beautiful, it is funded, and they produce work of excellent quality. Don't miss it.
Celebrate the year's labors. Cherish your loved ones. Rest. Then we join the fight again, more heartened than we were a year ago. And thank you, @adamserwer.bsky.social.
As political photos go, this is no Conference of Yalta. Yikes. talkingpointsmemo.com/wp-content/u...
I hate to repost something with "🧵" given my rando status and all, but this is fun.
I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex. He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country. He serviced the government.
Part of me would be delighted to see a hologram of Isaac Asimov pop up and reveal that he has retroactively become the richest man in the galaxy by suing Musk for IP theft.
Good news everybody: Grokipedia will contain all knowledge about the universe and will be distributed periodically throughout the solar system
And if so inclined you can always thank The Sea and Cake for bringing it into this century.

Beautiful artwork from a talented art collective. Help make this project a reality! @malleusdelic.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...
I really liked Bryan Magee's "The Great Philosophers," which is an accessible overview and beginner reference work. And widely available.
OK people this is not a drill - my cousin has expressed an interest in philosophy, she needs a book recommendation. What's a good thing to read if you have no philosophy background?
🧵David Kurtz is doing a tremendous service with Morning Memo in 2025, and today's is an excellent example. #tpm
Amid reports that newly appointed USA Lindsey Halligan will seek to indict James Comey on bogus charges of lying to Congress after her predecessor declined to, it’s a good time to do a reset ahead of the wave of Trump-driven political prosecutions. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
Amazon scuks, but here's some amazing art for $1.99. Rage In Harlem is just brilliant. www.amazon.com/Essential-Ha...
Great read from @delong.social! I'm seemingly tailor-made for Conan fandom, yet never could appreciate the stories for some of the very reasons he outlines. And some bonus rumination of the labor of fandom. Oh, and some literary theory, but that's just the nerd icing on the nerd cake. 😄
Is Conan the Barbarian Actually Good? A Cimmerian strides through my brain between my retina and my frontal lobe, boasting “I live, I love, I slay, and am content!” This is not good literature. &, yet, somehow… it is. Why Conan the Barbarian haunts us readers… braddelong.substack.com/p/is-conan-t...
Unprecedented. A complete shock. Let me see here, the right hasn't had a Cracker Barrel meltdown like this since.... *checks notes* ...August 2022, when the chain added meatless sausage to their menu. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/cr...
