Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

New: David Brooks is leaving the NYT for the Atlantic, where he will be a staff writer and host a video podcast
Eliminating a huge swath of the news team only makes the paper worse and then subscribers--like me--question what they are paying for and pull back, starting death spiral. Meanwhile, look at what Amazon spent on Melania documentary.
A bloodbath at The Washington Post. What a terrible day for journalism.
This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.
I’m anxiously awaiting their review of the Amazon-produced biopic about Melania.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

It’s not personal. But this is Americans’ responsibility, collectively, even though tens of millions of us made a different choice.
I'm excited to announce I'm doing a new Bloomberg column about the business of fashion. The first column is about how we can re-shore US garment manufacturing. Instead of mass deportations and raising tariffs, I argue the government should move the industry upstream:

An Un-MAGA Proposal to Bring Back American Manufacturing
Follow the path of Italy, France and Japan.
The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.
me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen?
boy (gloomily): no sir
I am enjoying Americans suddenly worrying about if we'll be hated abroad and buddy do I have some news for you
Important perspective from Greenland.
But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

Average Sunday show interview:

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Abolish ICE. Really.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

Very sad to say it seems Mike Fossey, aka Mike F. has died. Truly one of the funniest posters of all time and a talented artisan. Had been friends online for many years, but I got to hang out a couple times at shows in Boston and he was funny and sweet in real life too.

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.
holy shit I’ve seen the Muppet Christmas Carol 2,000 times but this is the first time I’ve noticed this sound effect, which my husband noticed and we’ve watched on repeat 8 times and are crying laughing
